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.
Não faz sentido. Ainda agora estávamos juntos na Seleção, ainda agora tinhas casado. À tua familia, à tua mulher e aos teus filhos, envio os meus sentimentos e desejo-lhes toda a força do mundo. Sei que estarás sempre com eles. Descansem em Paz, Diogo e André. Vamos todos sentir a vossa falta.
The irony is that Trump is winner in this Canadian election. The country will be more divided than ever as Carney goes after Western Canada. Our debt levels will explode higher with massive deficits. Doubling down on policies that got us here.
