Lie? What lie??? Here is truth Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) moved its head office from Toronto to New York primarily to get listed on major U.S. stock indexes," "Very important to understand "BAM vs. Brookfield Corp.: Only the asset management arm (BAM) moved to New York; its parent company, Brookfield Corporation, remains headquartered in Toronto.""

Yes he did...then Trump changed his mind....and changed it again....and again.... then Ford pi$$ed him off and he changed his mind again. Kinda hard to deal with that. As I said, Carney is doing what he can with other counties and as you admit...deals do not happen overnight. Look, even you have complained how long it takes to get contracts for things you needed and how long it took to get those things. -

It is so obvious you know nothing about business. Even with proof, you cannot grasp the reality.

Making deals that will takes time to consummate. One needs to go to the countries to make deals. To speak with other leaders face to face. To make your case. You, as a fairly high ranking Army Guy must know it takes time for deals to consummate. Old deals have to expire before new ones can take effect. -

Yup and has been for a very long time. I use to do business in England in the 80's and there were security cams on almost every street corner even back then. Commercial adoption in the 1970s, the first home security patent in the late 1960s, and widespread digital/IP cameras in the late 1990s -

Of course you will, we would not expect anything else from a chronic complainer LOL Aww, the downvotes getting you down??? Something else to complain about?? I cannot imagine how a forum post can get you so upset and emotional LOL Corruption around every corner...says the conspiracy theorist HA HA HA Nope, can't complain if I voted....no matter who wins..... the population has chosen and gets what it wanted. -
The health system is run by the provinces......feds give money to all provinces and the provinces do with it as they see fit. As for "on diversion", and "not open", herbie needs to get a understanding of the other places in Canada, not just his little world. Most rural hospitals have closed emergency rooms for weekends and more in the last few years. As for doctors shortages, it has been decades in the making "Canada's significant doctor shortage began to manifest in themid-1990s". "Following recommendations from reports like the 1991 Barer-Stoddart paper, provinces reduced medical school admissions and capped residency spots, creating a "lost generation" of Canadian doctors."

Make Toronto a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Huh..... we knock down stautes and rename historic sites and building and parks because of our insecurity so why not knock down buildings too LOL -
Who knows but you seem to be a bittier bitter conservative though LOL As I just told goodness, your cohort "conservatives have done nothing but make proposals and complain for a very long time and Canadians are tired of it. If they keep electing the horrific liberals that must tell you the conservatives are tiring and have nothing to offer but complaints while the liberals are doing what they are elected to do. So, keep on whining and complaining..it obviously makes you feel better LOL" So, am I wrong LOL

Why the obsession with comparisons anyway??? Feeling insecure I guess LOL Boo Hoo...everyone is better then us... Boo Hoo we are so downtrodden. Boo Hoo ...we have social problems ""homelessness is a significant and worsening global crisis, affecting hundreds of millions worldwide, manifesting as a lack of shelter, inadequate housing (like slums), and housing insecurity, driven by conflict, inequality, economic factors, and climate change, and recognized as a serious human rights violation. While precise numbers vary due to differing definitions, estimates suggest hundreds of millions lack adequate housing, with over 100 million experiencing absolute homelessness," In the middle east, there are millions sleeping in tents. -

The conservatives can propose anything they want but the fact is...they are not in power (and Canadians chose to not have any one of the past 4 leaders lead them). But conservatives crap all over Carney for his proposals and whine he is doing nothing with the MOU's and agreements with other countries yet, all you have is proposals that have no chance of ever happening and even if they could win an election, have no guarantees that any of the rhetorical proposals would even be there. Blowing smoke up Canadian a$$es seems to be the conservative way Another tactic is to compare Canadas economy with American. Here are some facts to absorb: "America’s national debt just hit a number so massive it doesn't even feel real anymore: thirty-eight trillion dollars (U.S. Treasury). While most of us see that number and think "economic disaster," the truth is much more complicated. It’s not just a debt; it’s the foundation of a global system that Canada is deeply invested in. There’s a common myth that America’s rivals own all this debt, but that’s just not true. About seventy-six percent of it is actually owned by Americans themselves—their own banks and pension funds (Federal Reserve). But it’s that other twenty-four percent held by foreign nations that acts as the "fuel" for the global economy (U.S. Treasury TIC Data). Surprisingly, Canada is one of the biggest players here. We’re currently a top-five creditor to the United States, holding over four hundred and twenty-six billion dollars of their debt (U.S. Treasury). That works out to roughly ten thousand dollars for every single person living in Canada (Statistics Canada). We aren't just neighbours; we're one of the primary pillars holding up their financial house. So, why are we lending them so much? It’s because the U.S. relies on this global cash to keep its interest rates low. When countries like Canada buy their debt, it keeps the American economy—and our biggest export market—stable and predictable (International Monetary Fund). It’s a massive "recycling program" for the dollars we earn from selling them our oil and cars. But here’s the scary part. If the world suddenly stopped lending, the U.S. would have to spike interest rates to attract new money (Goldman Sachs Research). Because our economies are tethered, the Bank of Canada would likely have to follow suit to protect our currency (Bank of Canada). That means your mortgage in Toronto or Calgary could skyrocket because of a funding gap in Washington. It’s a giant, interconnected suspension bridge. The U.S. needs the world to keep the cables tight, and we need that bridge to stay level so we can keep trading. We don't just "lend" them money; we’re essentially buying an insurance policy on our own economic stability (World Bank)." -

How the Canadian Dental Care Plan shafted me.
ExFlyer replied to blackbird's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
So...it is the cost of your dental work...not the reimbursement of the CDCP or your union dental plan. All dental plans have annual limitations....first time you used it and found that out. That and if you have a dental plan...you are not eligible for the CDCP... -
Are you really saying it was Carney that devised, ordered and conducted the move of a portion of a huge conglomerate from one country to another??? Or perhaps it was a move decided upon and ordered by the board of directors? I think knowing the facts is quite important "Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) moved its head office from Toronto to New York primarily to get listed on major U.S. stock indexes, like the S&P 500, to attract a larger pool of U.S. investors and boost its stock value, as the U.S. holds most of its employees and revenue . This move, a technical change, aimed to simplify its corporate structure and gain visibility for broader global capital, allowing index funds tracking U.S. companies to buy its stock" VeryiImportant to understand "BAM vs. Brookfield Corp.: Only the asset management arm (BAM) moved to New York; its parent company, Brookfield Corporation, remains headquartered in Toronto." So, it is not what you think or thought.

The fact is, you have no idea how much Carney has invested and with whom. "Mark Carney's assets, subject to public disclosure as Canadian Prime Minister, include a diverse portfolio managed in a blind trust, featuring significant holdings in Brookfield Asset Management (options/shares) and other major international firms (Tesla, Google, Amazon, etc.)," "Most of his investments, including stock options and shares from his time at Brookfield and other firms, were placed into a blind trust managed by a third party to avoid conflicts of interest" "He disclosed these assets to the Ethics Commissioner within the mandated timeframe after becoming Prime Minister," " Carney held approximately 41,000 deferred share units (DSUs) and 303,049 stock options. As of late 2024/early 2025, unexercised stock options were valued at roughly $6.8 million USD. Stripe, Inc.: He held shares in the payments processor where he previously served as a board member. Diverse Stock Portfolio: His ethics disclosure included a 15-page list of shares in over 560 companies managed by a third party. Key holdings included: Technology/American Giants: Tesla, Alphabet (Google), Philip Morris International, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Walmart, and Fox." ." That statement is not entirely accurate; "Brookfield is a global investment firm with both Canadian and American roots and operations worldwide, and is not comprised solely of American companies. " "Brookfield Corporation is a Canadian multinational company headquartered in Toronto. Its primary subsidiary, Brookfield Asset Management, moved its headquarters to New York City in 2024 to simplify its financial reporting structure for U.S. investors, but it remains heavily linked to its Canadian parent." "Brookfield has over $1 trillion in assets under management across numerous countries and continents, focusing on real assets like real estate, infrastructure, renewable power, and private equity. It has a significant presence in the U.S., but also owns and operates assets in Brazil, India, Europe, Australia, and many other regions." "Brookfield is owned by a mix of major institutional investors, public shareholders, and its own parent company, Brookfield Corporation, which holds a significant controlling stake (nearly 73%), with Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) being a key part of the structure, overseen by CEO Bruce Flatt. Major institutional holders include Vanguard, while the public and other institutions own substantial portions, with recent insider activity showing mixed signals but overall stability from the parent company's control."

"While Canada and the United States have developed closely integrated economies, Canada has never been the economic equivalent of the U.S. in terms of overall size or average individual wealth. The U.S. economy has consistently been much larger and more powerful Key Economic Differences and Historical Context Overall Economic Size: The U.S. has a significantly larger population and a far more diversified, industrialized economy that developed earlier than Canada's. Canada, despite being the world's 10th largest economy as of the early 2000s, has a smaller population base than any other G7 member, and its economy is often characterized as a "branch-plant economy" relative to its large neighbor. Trade Dependency: Canada's economy is highly dependent on trade with the U.S.; approximately three-quarters of Canadian merchandise exports are sent south of the border. In contrast, trade with Canada makes up a much smaller percentage of the U.S. economy, a point that has given the U.S. significant leverage in trade negotiations."

Carney is Canadian and working for Canada. Living across the street from homes with mansions does not make you comparable. We are not as bad as some of you doomsayers are making it out. "Canada's economy is a strong, developed market (9th largest globally by GDP) with high immigration and stable growth but faces challenges in per capita GDP growth, falling behind peers like the U.S. due to lower labor productivitymeaning living standards aren't rising as fast as total economic output, despite strengths in stability, low debt (G7), and resource wealth." "Canada excels in overall economic size, stability, and government fiscal health within the G7 but struggles to translate its total economic growth into rising per person prosperity, largely due to lagging productivity and investment compared to leading developed economies"
