@RichardKnack@MelissaLantsman Richard every single thing in a grocery store was put on a truck. Fuel costs hit everyone through higher prices on literally everything transported. The 'rebate to all' the Liberals actually delivered was $2.05 a year. Great job indeed.
Carney is incredible at announcements, genuinely. Former Liberal fiscal advisors spent the summer publicly saying they couldn't tell if his big numbers were loans, guarantees, or actual investments lol. This one isn't even signed yet. Quebec election could torch it. Wake me up when there's a shovel in the ground.
@merry123459 Incredible plan. Step 1: get publicly humiliated by your own cabinet. Step 2: have your own caucus beg you to resign on camera. Step 3: leave. Brilliant stuff. Facts matter indeed.
@gator_gum Both those cuts are in the 41.9%. That's the number after them. Not before. After. Families still paid more in taxes than food, shelter and clothing combined. With the reductions included. Good argument though lol
@NovaJules1@mario4thenorth@MarcMillerVM Fair point on the memo i guess, scheduling something isn't the same as it happening. But Miller denied even the scheduling existed and the ATIP says otherwise and you told me yourself the PM is studying these strategies. That's not from Grok, that's your own words.
Plenty of people criticize Poilievre including me, so that part's wrong. The thin bench point is fair though. Still doesn't change that the party actually in power has a $78B deficit, 13,000 insolvencies in June alone, and tariffs landing in 4 days with nothing locked in. Funny how the opposition's problems are the whole story when the government's record looks like that.
More than 13,000 insolvencies filed in June. 11.5% higher than a year ago. On track for the worst year since 2009. These aren't statistics, these are people losing everything. Ten years of Liberal economic management and this is the result. Four days until tariffs hit with no deal. But don't worry, the important story is whether Pierre's caucus still likes him. Glad we have our priorities straight.

@NovaJules1@mario4thenorth Confidential meetings the PM is studying on cracking down on digital speech. You just confirmed everything Mario said while calling it misinformation. Also the Heritage Minister denied the meetings happened while the ATIP memo says otherwise. Interesting defence lol
@Reil76 Lol its interesting that the people most convinced Poilievre can never win are also the most obsessed with destroying him. If he's that unelectable just leave him there.
Crossing a tax bracket doesn't mean the whole raise gets taxed at the higher rate. Only the dollars above the threshold do. 3,000 in new taxes on a 5,000 raise doesn't exist in any Canadian bracket. Also food prices are up 27% nationally over five years. One store isn't the national picture.
A load of shit hey. C-9 is in force right now and strips the religious expression defence from hate speech law. Offences based on whatever cabinet puts on a list, no court needed. C-22 forces encryption backdoors into your apps and keeps your metadata for 6 months. Signal said they'd rather leave Canada than build that. There's an ISED memo about monitoring social media for content the government decides is misleading. One session. All public. Yeah they're a threat.
@Mattxduchak Hilarious calling it outmanoeuvring. Tariffs land in 5 days. No deal. Canada offered the booze ban, auto tariffs, dairy concessions and got nothing locked in. That's one way to define outmanoeuvring
@FidelisLobo@mario4thenorth Adler is on your list of active right of centre voices. He's also a sitting senator now, appointed by Trudeau. He previously called the Senate a sewer that needs to be terminated. Now he's collecting $184,800 a year in it. Lol Quite the media career.
Lmao at what exactly. The question of when an election becomes a blank cheque is legitimate. Especially from a government that turned a minority into a majority through floor crossings for the first time in Canadian history. Why they crossed doesn't change the fact that the majority governing Canada right now wasn't on any ballot. And that majority is now running a $78B deficit. But sure, blank cheque concerns are hilarious.
Leading in polls and things going well are different measurements. Q1 2026 consumer insolvencies were the highest since 2009. Per capita GDP still below 2018. 63% of Canadians say they pay too much in income tax. Tariffs land in 6 days with no deal. Being the preferred option over Poilievre isn't the same as delivering.
@alleria_eh Both things happened. Canada offered concessions on the booze ban, auto tariffs and dairy. Also rejected the latest US offer as not going far enough. Six days to August 19, still no deal. That's not conservatives changing their story. That's just where things actually stand.
@KathleenAldrid9 Nobody's disputing the market numbers. Per capita GDP still below 2018 though. Wage growth decelerated in the same jobs report everyone's pointing at. What the TSX does and what average Canadians feel aren't the same thing. Both can be true.
@AvgYEG@MarcNixon24 Rage farming a CBC headline about Canada offering to drop the booze ban, auto tariffs, and dairy protections before anything's locked in. Truly irrelevant stuff.
