Of course the economic pain is wholly self imposed. All that was needed was for Canada to do what it should have done years ago and hard charge oil and gas and predicate a trade deal on that. The liberals could still run a complete socialist government but actually make money for Canadians much like Norway. Instead we borrow money and call it a Sovereign Wealth Fund and torpedo an agreement with the US. We have clowns running our government and Canadian families pay the price.
Andrew, one might think it in their wildest private musings but to walk into NYT and lead with that thought was moronic. Academic economists can have zero common sense just like other fools from all walks of life. Watching pundits try to somehow see strategic value reflects poorly on their objectivity. Call it what it was, painfully stupid.
Pay attention to the green aviation fuel issue and whether once investments happens each airport adopts green aviation fuel more meaningfully. Just happens Brookfield built a green jet fuel plant and has not enough customers. 4 Canadian airports could change that quite easily. Also new CEO of Air Canada. Last CEO was against green fuel and of course was terminated. Wait to to new CEO embrace it.
Makes sense. What got you comfortable recommending the vaccine for everybody including pregnant women? Did you see an actual study refuting Weissmans concerns? Of course, Weiissman is also a careerist dirt bag like Fauci as he only brought his concerns to the “appropriate group”. Would not want to muddy waters too much when in the hunt for a Nobel prize.
Hey Brian. You must be familiar with Kevin McKernan who while at MIT led the research team on the Human Genome project. Kevin and a few of his freakishly smart buddies got a hold of vials of unopened Pfizer vaccine and sequenced same in his lab. One vial from Japan had a CT of 9. A positive Covid infection was defined at CT 36. The 9CT vial was 1M times more powerful as an injectable contaminant compared to a Covid positive test. What do you think that would do to a human? Things go wrong Brian why so pigheaded?
LA. My youngest daughter is a T1D and I see every day the grind of living right on the edge. Breaks my heart. What seems to be missing in the dialogue on the Allison Inquiry is the concept that two things can be true at the same time. Vaccines can be super safe and many are. At the same time, why is it so hard to imagine a new type of vaccine never produced before brought to market in months not years, never tested on pregnant women or diabetics like you and my daughter, may be causing significant issues in some patients? We should want to help those patients full stop without labels and name calling.
@NightShiftMD Not about politics Brian. I have no idea if you are a Liberal, Conservative or an NDP, nor do I care. I am however, certain you are a pathetic personality.
Angela, what exactly is your point? Why is it important to place labels in the sick? I took the vaccine, a mix of both AZ, which was pulled from the market shortly after Canada said it was perfectly safe and Pfizer. I became partially deaf in one ear immediately after the vaccine and have developed a host of serious autoimmune issues, debilitating brain fog, amyloid fibrin blood clots, further deafness and a seriously impaired immune system. I have sought treatment all over the world over the last 3 years with my personal bills well into the six figures. Why is it so hard for you and your community to simply say some people got hurt and they need help, period. No politics, no name calling, no pointing the finger just simply the medical community coming together to help people who are truly sick?
Laura, your freedom fighter and paragon of democracy will not hold elections, is knee deep in systemic corruption that has ensnared his entire team, bans the Russian language, bans the Russian Orthodox Church and lies to his citizens that the death count from 4 years of war is about 55, 000 Ukrainian soldiers. His regime is 30K men off the street every month and that is not even replacing the fallen. This piece of filth, Zelensky is hardly anyone to look up to.
Andrew, perhaps try from to time to time to maybe be a critical thinker and not reactionary. Have you read Fauci’s emails? If not, why not? You have Brett Weisman, Noble Prize winner, emailing Fauci saying he is seeing issues where vaccine getting to the Placenta in pregnant women. That should have stopped the rollout of the vaccine dead in its tracks. Of course there were many other issues noted in emails but Fauci, media( yourself included) parroted safe and effective. You all played a role in patients getting hurt. Hoesehit Andrew? You sir are a Moron.
Andrew. So you have tons of life history with drugs that big pharma get passed by FDA and have huge side effects they read out in every TV ad, yet you think it horseshit that the same companies that speak of crazy potential side effects might have issues with a vaccine that was rushed and then they had to produce billions of with in a short period with no issues?
You might have to qualify that Brian. If you live in Canada and suffered a vaccine injury that made you deaf followed by a host of life changing autoimmune issues, not sure you would be arguing for the quality of medical care in Canada where there is not one doctor who seems prepared to acknowledge those sick due to Pfizer and or Astra Zeneca shots. Cowardly and sheep like thinking in the Canadian medical establishment.
Great, then the next thing out of your business brain should
be what can we to do to sell a whole bunch more of it and make Canada, and by extension, Canadians wealthy. Norway is lefty, environmental but unlike Canadian Liberals, actually think it makes sense to make a ton of money for the Country. Canada borrows a wealth fund.
Smartest academic economist on the planet?? Let’s trade with the EU, who understand our values.(MC) Let’s be the first country in the world to have a feminist approach to foreign policy.(JT) How about let’s make real incomes for Canadians ramp and sell the abundance of oil and gas we have in the ground (said no liberal, ever)
@LauraBabcock Really Laura? Do you think strategically that if it is true, and it sure looks like it, that the CDN team walked away for politics, that we are better positioned today than last week because we got in a sound bite?
What if things transpired just as Howard Lutnick said? Do we spend time talking about the bully that broke the news to us or perhaps dig into what the hell happened and how to fix it? Canadians livelihoods are at risk while our idiot politicians/journalists think of it as a story about bullying.
