I certainly believe that Trump is pretty bad. Still not sure he's worse than Kamala would have been though. At least he's still set on avoiding an escalation with Russia. Recently, Rubio said that the U.S. was ready to move on from the war in Ukraine if a peace deal wasn't worked out soon, but it looks like Trump has since been more ambiguous as to whether that might happen: https://apnews.com/article/rubio-ukraine-russia-war-trump-a90e3e49c276b75ed2542f2f0422ddd6

The fall-out continues. A question, is a question...................even if it doesn't come from the privileged, elitist media. Mark Carney runs from Rebel News' questions in Montreal!

But.....what about the rest who do pay tax? Furthermore................those 30% of people pay taxes, in other forms! Like, GST. If you're a consumer, you pay tax! Who's gonna end up carrying the load of carbon tax that will be applied to businesses and "heavy polluters?" CONSUMERS! Those 1/3 who don't pay income tax are the ones who'll end up losing more......since obviously their income is low that they don't have to pay income tax! If they're stretching their budget now, they'll have to really stretch it farther when all the tariffs hits, and when hidden carbon taxes come.

Carney 2025 vs Hillary 2016: Different

On this, I agree. I am surprised about the sudden collapse in the NDP vote, and the sudden rise in federal Liberal vote. -

Officials said it was a natural virus that could kill everyone. We now know that it was not natural and kids were not carriers. -

I tend to agree. In 2025 Canada, we are living in a different world -

In 2016, the US polls were accurate. But the US has an electoral collage. -

Quebec décote, Credit Score

Norway has a similar fund. https://www.nbim.no/ -
In recent news, Quebec government bonds were reduced from AA+ to AA- Hydro-Quebec bonds were already AA-. (IMHO, Hydro-Quebec bonds are less risky than Quebec bonds but that's another story.... ) ===== And I'm not certain of this S&P rating scheme anyway. Look what happened in 2008. ========= The Quebec society has a huge Caisse. All things considers, this state pension scheme "borrows" at low rates based on the guarantee of taxes and then invests on world markets at higher rates. It is leveraged. This is a potential Ponzi sceme.

And it would seem the collapse may have begun! We'll see if it's reflected anywhere else but that is way outside of the margin of error. Unfortunately it would still be a liberal minority, but the CPC and the bloc would hold the balance of power. The ndp would be utterly powerless. We can work with that nicely. Basically if this is how it plays out, then carney will spend the next year screwing up and not delivering and times will not get better, and once the ndp has a new leader we trigger an election with the bloc and at 18 months we take a majority then. But i think this is just the start of his slide. I think over the next week he's going to weaken a lot more and even if people say they're voting liberal they'll actually tend to stay home or change their minds at the ballot box.

That's.... actually true and accurate. Well done

As economists say, there's a lot of money sitting on the table. In the past, it was in classified ads.

They were able to cleverly pull a legal trick that gave them access to asking more questions than even the CBC was allowed. I mean they played by the rules, none of it was a lie or a cheat, but the mainstream media completely lost their shit. There are a number of videos of them circulating where mainstream media reporters are just behaving in a fashion that anybody would find unacceptable towards them. I don't think they care for the idea that Someone that they perceive as being little more than an internet influencer and shit disturber managed to have higher priority than they did.
