It's just a fact that Carney's popularity is thoroughly detached from anything he's done in his first year in office. In no meaningful way is Canada's economic situation "improving," and yet he is being warmly rewarded by voters for... trying, I guess? It's an odd phenomenon.

BREAKING: Mark Carney posts the worst economic start for all Canadian prime ministers in more than 6 decades.

The only people getting ahead in Carney’s economy are the Liberal Club insiders who get carveouts, bailouts, and handouts, while Canadians who actually do the work pay the rising cost.

[Mark Reid 🇨🇦 @MarkReid42]

I have to agree!

[Bloomberg @business]

Canadians support Mark Carney’s management of the economy, even though he’s presided over the worst first year of growth for a prime minister since at least 1963, a poll showed. https://t.co/XtHIBvReFl

Mark Carney records the worst economic debut of any Canadian Prime Minister in at least 63 years, based on real GDP growth.

A country doesn’t become prosperous by redistributing wealth. It becomes prosperous by creating it.

If Pierre is removed, and he is replaced with someone who has no spine...
The Conservatives would be making the biggest mistake they have made in the last 30 years.

Don't fall for what the Liberals want us to fall for.

they want Pierre gone because they are terrified of him.

COVID exposed what happens when governments gain extraordinary economic power. They printed, borrowed, spent, subsidized, bailed out, and distorted markets on a massive scale. If your complaint is that politicians transferred wealth to politically connected interests, then your complaint is with government power, not voluntary exchange.

Yet the solution is to give them more.

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

Money doesn't stop circulating because it's used to buy assets. It goes to the seller, who then spends or invests it. Buying assets also finances businesses, lowers the cost of capital, and funds future production. The economy isn't driven by consumption alone. It's driven by production, investment, and trade.

They promised free buses.

They instead gave themselves a raise.

You NAILED IT @JasminLaine !!

The same Mamdani who ran on taxing the rich is now demanding a 20% salary increase for himself and fellow New York City officials.

This is exactly what communists do.

[Kris Eriksen @KEriksenV2]

Imagine being able vote to shut down a probe into your own corruption 😆

Canada is so F’d.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

The Liberal Club always takes care of themselves with bonuses and bailouts, while Canadians can't afford homes.

End the handouts for the Club. So Canadians can buy homes they can afford: https://t.co/9sMFiGdVNV

It's time for mainstream media to call it like it is.

@MarkJCarney clearly mishandled the trade negotiations with the US.

Countless Canadian workers will lose their jobs. This is a disaster. ⬇️

Another $70 billion illusion.

Carney gets grand headlines for promising a massive UAE investment in Canada, then quietly tells the Emirates that his government can’t figure out how to get out of the way of major investment projects.

Stop cutting ribbons and start cutting red tape.

[Karla Treadway | Host Sovereign Sphere Podcast @thesovereignceo]

Shutting down debates, removing cameras from committees, unelected majority, bribing floor crossers, hundreds of conflicts of interests, censoring the Internet…

This is the most corrupt government in Canada’s history.

[The Rational Animal 🤔 @theobjectivist]

Inflation is a five-alarm emergency when it's time to pad the salaries of elected officials, an 18.2% "cost-of-living adjustment" they simply must have to survive rising prices.

But when a landlord faces that exact same inflation, rising fuel, insurance, labor, and repair costs, suddenly inflation is imaginary, and rents must be frozen solid.

So in Mamdani's New York, inflation is real for politicians and a myth for property owners. The cost of living rises for the people who govern, but never for the people who house the city.

One rule for the guys setting the rules. Another for everyone forced to live under them. The commissars get their raise. The producers get a freeze.

Somewhere, an economics textbook is filing a missing-persons report.

Minimum wage laws were originally supported by some advocates as a way to price minorities and other "undesirable" workers out of the labor market. Raising it further still has the same effect: the people with the least skills and experience become less employable. The goal shouldn't be to raise the minimum wage. It should be to raise your value. Entitlement says you should get more for less. The market rewards you for becoming worth more.
