the news will tell you that the left are protesting because "of insufficient school funding"
This is questionable at best. France has a massive welfare state. Gigantic. They do not lack for public sector expenditure.
- French public spending accounts for an almost incomprehensible 57.2% of GDP
- the French deficit is 5.1% of GDP and the debt to GDP ratio is 115%
- France spends more on education on both a relative and absolute basis than the EU average
France can't meaningfully increase public spending. they are maxed out. Their 10-year bond trades at a higher yield than Italy or Greece, historical basket cases.
so, it's not about public spending. France is an insanely lavish welfare state to the point of serious dysfunction.
what's it about then?
🧵 It's funny and painful to watch so-called Canadian elites argue about something they know little about. Not to mention #1 goal being to GASLIGHT all the time, 24-7.
Here's what really happened with Canadian inflation and government. PLEASE share with anyone who's GASLIGHTING anyone.
Energy is Life - Canada, be warned. Europe's energy policy is economic suicide.
Germany: Shut nukes for renewables is killing its industrial base.
U.K.: Committed to Net Zero - highest electricity prices.
Spain: Blackout due to a lack of 'Inertia' b/c of renewables.
Meanwhile, Asia has doubled down on coal.
Boomers will bleed Canadian youth dry to ensure they retire in comfort
you cant blame them, they are self-interested like every other group
but, its up to Canadian youth to plan accordingly.
Consider leaving. You cant afford to waste your 30s.
I dont say that lightly.
Canada's capacity for adding new housing is basically deadlocked at 250k homes per year. A combination of capital, labour, and bureaucratic constraints.
This Election Should Be Based On Only One Question After 9 Years Of Liberal Government: ARE YOU BETTER OFF?
Is Canada better now than 9 years ago?
Because Carney is just one man
Every else is the same
Think about it; Better off after 9 Liberal years or not
Think hard

A lost decade in Canada. I don’t care which party was in power, if you put your partisanship aside these results should not be rewarded with another 4 years.
Young Canadians are more likely to abandon Canada and become a part of the US.
This should be heartbreaking and alarming to all.
10 years of destroying our national identity, 10 years of erasing history and calling us racist, 10 years of destroying opportunities for the next generation, 10 years of replacing young Canadians with 3rd world immigrants to save a dollar.
Canada's future generations have made unwelcomed in their own country. They look around and they don't recognize the country.
What's happening here is historical travesty.
The Liberals have ended Canada in the eyes of too many.
40+ year long-term rate cycle has TURNED. Canada and every other country/borrower on the planet will experience escalating funding costs. Prepare for budgets to be blown out of the water. FX volatility may surge.
The risk for Canada isn't tariffs but immigration changes.
Donald Trump can implement a short term visa for Canadian entrepreneurs, investors and skilled labour - including trades and Canada will be left with public sector parasites and millions of foreign unskilled labour.
Federal Govt. Interest Payments have soared.
At 52.9bn, it is now more than the Federal Govt. Health Transfers of 52.1bn ( see fiscal year 24/25 from Table A1.8 https://t.co/blnZSeGkqN)
