Carney told attendees Canada is “predictable and reliable in a world that’s anything but.” Really? Was telling Canadians that “our old relationship with the United States … is over” something that a “predictable and reliable” country would do? I don’t think so. https://t.co/7VW8dqSTpQ
The hits just keep on coming.
The national poverty rate is now at 11.1% and 1 out of five people that are employed still need to use food banks.
The situation is dire in Canada.
@ryangerritsen What! I'm shocked what happened to happened to all the lifted out of poverty people liberals ran their mouths about? they just went poof and took extras along with them?
Under PM Harper...
Q1 2015: -0.8% annualized GDP
Q2 2015: -0.5% annualized GDP
Bank of Canada: "Yes, Canada meets the technical definition of a recession."
Under PM Carney...
Q4 2025: -1.0% annualized GDP
Q1 2026: -0.1% annualized GDP
Bank of Canada: "Two negative quarters of GDP alone should not be used to define the state of the economy."
Tom Mulcair "Yes, officer, technically I was speeding, but it was only a few miles an hour above the speed limit"
"A recession is a recession is a recession. Two consecutive quarters negative growth recession, not a technical recession." @ThomasMulcair
Demonstration outside Parliament Hill, where Prime Minister Mark Carney will soon meet with China Foreign Affairs Minister Wang Yi.
In an unusual move, the PM’s office is barring reporters from entering the room, allowing China to influence media access arrangements.
So let me get this straight...
Canada is in a recession—the only G7 country currently in one. Unemployment is up. Inflation is rising. Food insecurity is at a record high.
Yet the highest proportion of Canadians since 2017 now say the country is on the right track.
That's either a remarkable display of optimism—or a sign that many Canadians aren't getting the full economic story from the news they consume.
Dear Gen X,
I’ve been watching 80s movies and I just need to know…WHERE WERE YOUR PARENTS??
Every child was just wandering the earth unsupervised like a raccoon with house keys. Riding bikes across town at midnight, fighting ghosts, investigating murders, befriending cryptids, hacking government computers for funsies…
And the parents were ALWAYS “out of town” or “working late” while the only adult-adjacent supervision was some random 16-year-old who got dragged into the chaos.
No cell phones. No helmets. No adult supervision. Just vibes, life lessons, and several near-death experiences.
You all weren’t “raised.” You were lightly monitored feral creatures with a bike and unresolved trauma.
I’m genuinely shocked there are enough of you left to populate an entire generation.
@terrynewman Seems like the water is starting to hit those who stood on the hill telling everyone else who was already getting soaked and just roll up their pants.
Funny to watch that play out.
