He's not wrong, but it's a bit of a strawman, isn't it? Who's blaming Trump for the last 30 years of economic fecklessness in Canada? Even the original NAFTA was a failure in many regards, with the promise from the US for a certain percentage of research funding to be based in Canada only being honored for a few years before it was abandoned with no challenge from our governments.

even posters like ecos with the absolutely detestable Frank Greaves who swore he would use his powers to defeat poilievre now show the liberals and conservatives at basically a tie after weeks of insisting that there was double digit spreads between them I don't know why but a lot of posters this election put their thumbs on the scales I think. You look at their methodologies and you look at what they said and there were a few that were fairly honest but most were less so. As I predicted a few days ago now that we're getting close to the end they're all going to pretend that they're pulling is saying it's magically a tie. Last night, everybody changed their minds and that hugely leads vanished and wow it's actually a tie now who'da thunk it This will allow them to pretend that they were at least close no matter who wins. It's pretty obvious from some of the commentary that they believe that the conservatives are trending right now and have momentum. The poles are currently showing a liberal minority. I have a funny feeling we're going to see a conservative minority in reality but you never know. If that happens I expect that mark carney will drop out of politics and go do something else despite having promised that he was in it for the long haul win or lose. Hopefully at that point the conservatives will call a snap election and say seeing as they got A free ride in the last leadership race there's no point in waiting for them to finish this one

Truth hurts, eh comrade? Chuckle-chuckle.

Bank accounts frozen, gas stolen, peaceful protesters beaten on the street like Rodney King, a gesundheitspass, forced vaccinations, Canadians killed by a pseudovax that they were forced to take, innocent protesters trampled by horses, a tyrannical PM calling people "racists and misogynists" for no reason and asking Canadians if should they should even be 'tolerated'... Go to hell you worthless f'ing loser.

Thanks to being inundated with leftist anti-natalist propaganda and engineered mainstreamed culture for decades. Just look at all of their causes: lgbt, feminism, abortion, anti-Christian, and climate change/overpopulation hysteria. They have no desire to acknowledge these issues, the downstream effects, and promote internal solutions. It justifies mass immigration, wiping every single White majority country off the map as karma for colonialism.

It's deeper than that especially if you take the view Trump is a symptom and more effect than cause. If America can produce the conditions where a leader like Trump can exist then anything is possible.

What you are talking about is a closed economy. The USSR tried that and we saw the result.

Quit f'n gaslighting. Same story with the Liberals in Canada socially engineering the genocide of the White Canadians. Greatest traitors in the country's history. You're the Nazis here.

You think?

Ladies and gentlemen...its this kind of thinking and attitude that's gotten us where we are today. Divided and bordering on mass violence. See...These Libbies demand that no opposition to them be allowed to exist. In fact...I'd postulate that given time, in the face of constant opposition, they'd begin shooting people. And they would do it with a righteous indignation that is quite staggering. One day, a group not unlike the one we're discussing here, will attack the wrong person or people. They will find themselves face to face with an opposition that has a bad temper and formidable capabilities. The solution to this sort of childish behaviour is simple. Round them up and put them in cages. Bless them with criminal records.

It was all part of the plan to make it look like bringing in Carney was a massive change. LPOC with Trudeau: 😭🤯 LPOC with Carney: 💪🥰 "OMG, LOOK! IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PARTY NOW! 100%!!! I DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE ANYONE!!!"

What I don't see is legitimate reasons to like Carney, or to trust him, and I don't see Canadians being warm to him. There are now half a dozen solid reasons to consider Carney a massive liar, he's a global elite with no track record of working for the little guy, and he's not even a Canadian. He actually calls himself a European when he's in Europe. Aside from fake polling and the CBC saying "Carney is awesome", no one here can come up with any reasons to say what's awesome about him. And they won't even try to defend his integrity. He's a total zero in that regard.

Trump's a bully gasbag, that's a given. He's also not a quitter. Clever in a dubious way . . . he's 'chosen' the weaker of the two leading Canadian PM contenders. He's 'chosen' Mark Carney to deal with. This is just good business on his part. Carney's making a fool of himself now - advertising himself as the 'only one' to deal with a conniving US President. The Canadian citizen/taxpayers are the real losers in this charade . . .

It's freedom of speech and freedom of association. The only trouble makers were the ones who lost their shizzle because they can't stand people promoting ideas they do not like.

Liberal platform: Carney promises $130B in new spending Mark Carney’s plan for Canada includes $130 billion in new spending which will see the country run deficits until at least the fiscal year 2028-2029. 2025-26: $62.3B -- > 1.96% of DGP 2026-27: $59.9B -- > 1.83% of GDP 2027-28: $54.8B -- > 1.61% of GDP 2028-29: $47.8B -- > 1.35% of DGP and then magically in year five I suppose he'll go to balanced budget by somehow managing to eliminate that 47 billion that he had sticking around in 28/29 Blanchet was right to call this a harry potter budget. "there's no way this is possible" 'STUPIFY!!!!' "oh it all makes sense now....."

The left defines the success of a program by how many people use it. So, if they start a program for homeless people and every year more homeless people access the program, it is successful.

I mean, you've supported killing Trump and Musk, the killing of the United HC CEO and every despicable act of violence and destruction by BLM, ANTIFA and Hamas. I don't think you have room to talk boss.

Harper asked Carney to be his finance minister. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mark-carney-stephen-harper-1.7460897 …former prime minister Stephen Harper asked him to join his cabinet as finance minister in 2012.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today welcomed the appointment of Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney as Chair of the Financial Stability Board (FSB). ....The selection of Mr. Carney as Chair of the Financial Stability Board is testament to his skills and to the strength of Canada’s financial system,” said the Prime Minister. “This is the right appointment at the right time as the world works to strengthen the global financial system and sustain the fragile global economic recovery https://www.canada.ca/en/news/archive/2011/11/pm-welcomes-appointment-bank-canada-governor-chair-financial-stability-board.html Slow down poor baby, I can see you have a meltdown coming.

ummm.... trudeau's economici's were a disaster, that's pretty much universally held. and harper says both carney and pp worked for him and pp is undoubtedly the more qualified choice Soooooo......

Here is what Chat GPT said: How it worked: 1. Government funding Dalhousie’s battery research has been supported for decades by Canadian taxpayer money. The key funding agency is NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada). In 2016, Tesla co-funded a new NSERC/Tesla Industrial Research Chair at Dalhousie. Meaning: Canadian taxpayers and Tesla both put money into the research program. (But Canadian public money covered a big chunk.) 2. Industrial Research Chair rules When NSERC funds an Industrial Research Chair like this, the private company (Tesla) usually gets: First rights to license or use the technology. Exclusive access for a certain period (often 2–5 years). After that period, the research often becomes open or available to others — unless Tesla pays for ongoing exclusivity. Translation: Tesla didn’t “steal” it — they paid part of the costs and got a temporary exclusive deal because of that. But the foundation of the research (lab infrastructure, Canadian salaries, basic science) was mostly funded by taxpayers. 3. Intellectual Property (IP) Ownership In many of these agreements: The university technically owns the IP. But Tesla often has the first option to license or commercialize it. Dalhousie can still use the research for academic purposes and future public benefit later. Argument it’s bad Argument it’s good Canadian taxpayers paid to invent tech that profits Tesla. Canadian researchers got funding, good salaries, and world-class R&D opportunities. No Canadian battery manufacturing industry built from it (Tesla builds mostly in U.S. and Germany). Helped keep Canadian science at the global cutting edge (prestige, future investments). Public money, private corporate gain. Tesla is also helping fund Canadian innovation, not just taking from it. Bottom line: Yes, Tesla benefits from taxpayer-funded Canadian research. No, it wasn’t a total giveaway — they co-funded it and got legal, time-limited rights to use it. But it definitely highlights how Canada sometimes subsidizes innovation that ends up creating wealth abroad, rather than building domestic industries.

Yeah those kept coming up during the Leafs game. Seems like the Conservatives are finally acknowledging him as the liability he is, and put him in the candidate protection program. 😐

And... @Deluge - CHANGE THE GAWD DAMN LAWS!!! That way these limp biscuits have no argument and the political abuse ends.

Thus sayeth the globalist sluts. See, here in America, we believe in sovereignty and freedom, and we're not going to put up with a one world government. America exists as its own independent power - this is where we are headed.

Kudos to you for actually citing something specific and directly for a change, even if it's not great. At least it's real, and it's true for the USA, just not Canada: While this is the correct conclusion when there are only two possible survey responses, it is not correct when there are more than two possible responses, which is in fact virtually always the case. How much difference this makes depends on how many responses are outside the two categories of interest. -Charles H. Franklin University of Wisconsin, Madison October 27, 2002 (Revised, February 9, 2007) (It's off a PDF that I don't know how to hyperlink) For a 5.4% lead to be a a "statistical tie", you'd need the Liberal vote to be overestimated by at least half that, and for PP to be the 100% beneficiary of it (which is already unlikely). You also need the NDP/Green/Bloc numbers to be (at minimum) almost dead-on. As before, you're assuming all of the variability leans heavily in the Conservatives' favor, and that the Bloc/NDP/Greens somehow don't exist. TLDR: Sorry kiddo/muffin , nice try, good effort, but you're still wrong.

It's the same lawfare strategy that the Demis deployed down south... the legal process was the punishment and there was never a crime. They "started a peaceful protest against the fascist government", and the same thing that woulda happened if you staged a peaceful protest in Russia or China happened to them. The Chinese and Russian gov'ts wouldn't just hold a trial and find someone guilty of starting a protest there and have them put to death for it, but they'd find a way to ruin that person's life.

Make Made in USA Great Again!

I'd be good with that. AOC can go back to bartending...and Omar can become a real whore...since she'll evidently fck anyone for money and power.

*THIS* is a slap on the wrist 👇 Murder someone, get out on $2500 bail. If Liberals want this for their daughters, that's on them, but most of us normal people do not. Why are Liberals ok with this? You people are insane.

wimpy wimpy wiiimpy HEFTY HEFTY HEEEFTY!!!

An Asian or African Pope may well be next. And only mocked by the insensitive louts who disrespect the position entirely. The alt-right, the fascists, the utter Nazis unable to see the Pope as the ultimate icon of actual conservatism who now pretend to be the 'real conservatives'. Even the piddly minor changes he instituted were far too much to people who want to move backwards.

@ Left4rds: Picture a graph representing Candidate A's popularity in a 2-party race, with a line on it that stays consistent at 51-54% over the course of four months. Never really changes. Can you weave a story around that to help your candidate? Certainly. You can weave a whopper. Like this: Your own candidate, Candidate B is at 47%, and the other party's voters are highly motivated. The race isn't even close. Then your guy has a terrible debate, where his dementia can't be hidden, so he has to go. It's 4 months from the election, everyone knows your guy is leaving, so you put up poll numbers that show the other guy at 70%. HE'S SOARING. It doesn't matter because like I said, the election is 4 months away. Not one ballot is being cast. (remember, the polls are really peaking at 54%, because 45% of voters are cultists who aren't going to budge even if their leader says they need to be nuked). Then you bring in a new candidate, and she's a complete dunce with a proven track record of whorishness and failure, but you say "OMG CANDIDATE C IS SO AMAZING!" and then your fake polls come in, and lo and behold "THE POLLS SAY THAT CANDIDATE C IS AMAZING, JUST LIKE WE SAID!!! CANDIDATE C HAS TAKEN THE LEAD, WITH 55%!!! THIS IS ALSO PROOF THAT EVERYONE HATES CANDIDATE A!!!" (so the polls are at about 53% for Candidate A, but you're workin' it hard) "LOOK AT C JUST CRUSHING IT! SHE COMES FROM A MIDDLE-CLASS NEIGHBOURHOOD, DID YOU KNOW THAT? EVERYBODY LOVES THAT, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT SHE CARES ABOUT THEM!" Awwwwww. Now as you get closer to the election, you have to dial in your accuracy so that you still have credibility for the next election cycle, so you say 53-47 for C a week out. Then by election night you say 51-49 for C. Then the election goes like this: "Oh, wow. Our polling was just off by 1.5% for Candidate A and 3.1% for Candidate C. That's pretty good. Well within the margin of error, on average. Clearly what happened on election night is the misogynists and racists came out in force, so the really nice people were scared to go to the polling stations." The MSM got to use fake polling to back their massively false narratives and pump up Candidate C for 4 months. CBC: "You lead those dumb-ass horses to water if you want to WCM, but they ain't gonna drink it, cuz these horses only drink Kool-aid 😉."

The pollsters, in my estimation, have not really caught up to the times. They rely too much on traditional polling methods. It's why they've been off in the US. They don't account for social media.

Not when you have to double the margin of error to get yourself there! Let's see now... Difference between 42.6 - 37.1 = 5.5 Margin of Error = 2.7 QUICK! What's 5.5 - 2.7? 🤡🤡🤡

He fails to point out the exact same thing in the USA, that current prosperity has not been made by manufacturing things. Apple is a good example, it makes things elsewhere and made it's money owning the rights to those things. Music & streaming are not 'manufactured' items, nor are health, real estate, banking and trading services.

YES IT IS. Prove me wrong.

The media is out to get you... they're just a bunch of liars.

Carney gets called out for a gaping flaw in his costed platform by a journalist. “Based on your platform, Canada would still be more than 60 billion dollars in the red.” Carney’s response? Don’t worry “I’m an economist”.

Nope, and Trump was out there again recently repeating that Ukraine started the war! He's showing his true colors, as expected.

Thanks for demonstrating you STILL KNOW NOTHING about real DEBATE. Kirk and his propaganda campaign is NOT DEBATE.
