After watching Pierre Poilievre’s press conference, this is my take:
Canada is not in trouble because of bad luck. We are in trouble because of bad policy.
The Liberals want to call this a “technical recession,” as if families pay “technical rent” and buy “technical groceries.” People live in the real economy: layoffs, insolvencies, food banks, rent, debt, and businesses afraid to invest.
Poilievre is right. You cannot punish energy, bury projects in regulation, tax work and investment, spend like drunken sailors, and then act shocked when capital leaves and jobs disappear.
Canada has oil, gas, uranium, hydro, minerals, forests, farmland, ports, talent, and direct access to the U.S. market. We should be one of the richest, most productive countries on earth.
Instead, we have a government that treats production like a problem and bureaucracy like a solution.
The AI economy, manufacturing, mining, farming, transportation, housing, and trade all need affordable energy and investment. No energy, no growth. No growth, no prosperity.
This is not just a recession. It is the bill coming due after years of Liberal economic vandalism.
Pierre is right to call it what it is. Canada is not poor.
Canada is being restrained.
This was Carney but two days before Canadians found out that we were in fact in a recession.
Standing up in the HOC telling his usual talking points about how great the Canadian economy is. Turns out, all of it lies.
How did the “master economist” miss the fact that over the last several months the Canadian economy was grinding to a halt? I personally don’t think he really cares.
Yesterday I was asking why Carney's behaviour took A SUDDEN and abrupt turn
we NOW know why
he saw the GDP numbers.
Hes the "economic genius" who leads THE ONLY country in the WESTERN WORLD to be in a recession.
Happy 1st anniversary, Mark Carney!
-Deficit doubled
-Highest food inflation in the G7
-2nd highest unemployment in the G7
-No pipelines approved
-Homebuilding dropping 15%
-Immigration system still broken
-Violent crime skyrocketing in our major cities
A year later, illusion meets reality. Congratulations, sir, you’re just another Liberal.
Call me crazy but I thought the major violation of free speech last week was when the free speech guy got shot in the neck for promoting free speech.
Evidently, it was the vaccine salesman with terrible ratings getting fired.
Since Mark Carney became PM, Canada has 50,000 more people unemployed.
And the deficit is estimated to be twice what Trudeau left behind.
And most US tariffs on Canada have doubled.
Things are getting worse.
