Livin' in Toronto…. obviously. So city livin' now, but grew up on a farm, with tons of animals and doing plenty of chores. Love both the country and the city.

Don’t worry.

Not everyone is suffering.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just signed an executive order that will functionally wall off the Canadian export economy from the United States.

Every Canadian company shipping to the US now must:

-Post much higher per shipment bonds

-Be CTPAT validated by US customs

-Disclose beneficial ownership & domestic assets

-Provide foreign tax IDs & detailed supply chain data

-Lose access to “informal entry” for low value shipments entirely

The reason?

Foreign importers can’t be trusted to comply with US law.

The trigger?

Canada’s documented failure to enforce its own forced labour ban.

80% of our exports go south.

The Prime Minster yesterday said “we expected this”

Canadians who export to the US sure as hell didn’t.

Does nobody even hear what politicians are saying anymore?

"We have taken back control of immigration"...from who?
Was anyone held accountable for letting it get out-of-control.

"We have reigned in government spending. It had been growing at 10%". Again. Was anyone held accountable? Did anyone lose their job. Did you fire any Minister?

Your party's been in power for 11 years. This is on you.

COLUMN: PM Mark Carney can spin his annual federal deficits any way he likes, but a report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer says they're going to be billions of dollars higher for the next 5 years than he predicted in his spring mini-budget 37 days ago.

Sat with some friends tonight, and we totally realize that the situation with Mark Carney is absolutely awful. He is 100% out for himself and his colleagues at Brookfield, etc. Canada is in serious trouble.

[Alexander Brown @alexbrown17]

I don’t care that Mark Carney is a jerk to work with and for. Growing up with an adjacency to both politics and Bay Street, everyone would tell you as much (particularly card-carrying Liberals).

I care that for all of his deal-making prowess, and some of his ability to course-correct on bad policy, we’re ignoring structural, load-bearing deficiencies, like a full immigration fix, an impossibly punitive entrepreneurial environment, giving housing to Gregor freaking Robertson, the near-total collapse in law and order and healthcare efficiency, still poking Alberta in the eye and wondering why they’re so angry.

Be a prick. But be one that materially gets the job done, beyond just the margins.

@MickeyDjuric This guy has absolutely no fucking clue what he's talking about. They are so far behind on this now, it's mind blowing. Years late. And now a tiny investment will do nothing. They may as well flush that money down the toilet.

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@CoopTory The issue is the Liberal government has destroyed investment and business in Canada. That is 100% the main problem. They just covered up that problem for years by allowing immigration numbers to balloon.

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

Lol. It's a good thing we're in recession? We shouldn't need to turn the taps on until we overflow, and then have to turn the taps completely off and open the drain. Out immigration rates were fine for yrs. Then the Liberals chose ro break the system.

All they've done is admit what many have been saying for yrs - that they artificially inflated the GDP with immigration, all while productivity and wealth was falling for the average Canadian.

Sad state of affairs the Liberals have put us in.

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@CdnRollor @MarkReid42 @johnnylightnin Are you really this stupid?

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@CTVNews You think? These guys don't have a clue.

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@MyLordBebo This would be a disaster.

[Wyatt Claypool @wyatt_claypool]

Does Mark Carney realize continuing to claim Canada has the best trade deal with the United States doesn't make him look better in regard to the recession?

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@GreatBig_Sea @pamela_gorrie @JohnWKowal1 People are not rational. The Canadian population psyche is like an abused spouse - always believing the apology, afraid to leave because they're "just doing their be to look after us", and distrusting those who point out the obvious truth. It's sad.

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

I don't blame many for not seeing this. But it was clear as day to anyone who's worked with him or read his book.

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

Liberal insiders are now openly warning about PM Mark Carney’s 'authoritarian streak'

One year in, he calls his MPs his personal 'deputies', treats Parliament like a corporate boardroom, engineers floor-crossings to manufacture majorities, stacks committees, and centralizes power behind closed doors'

There’s an authoritarian tinge to it,' one senior Liberal told the Toronto Star

He lectures the world on defending democracy... while eroding it at home. Mark Zedong @althiaraj

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@Mellyfax This sounds exactly like a guy saying a woman shouldn't be allowed to have a choice because he's her dad, and it impacts his family.

Is that you Melanie? You don't believe in individual choice?

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@RealDonBradshaw Hahahahahah. Yes. Pierre caused the recession.

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@TheHillTimes @deAdder Wow. The brainwashing of even intelligents. What's hilarious is talking to them. They'll never believe it, so double down.

... just like Russia
... just like Iran
... just like Cuba

All these places had intelligent people who fell victom to propaganda.

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@CanadianCoffey @PierrePoilievre Of course it is dumb dumb. ?!? Lol. You people are so stupid. It's like saying a car is expected to go forward after driving in reverse and stopping for a bit.

[Toronto Dave @TorontoDave99]

@SolaTheAnalyst Are you this stupid?
