IF he continues? Dude, he's spending vastly more than Trudeau did. He's already off that leash, across the yard, over the fence and into the neighbour's chicken coop. I don't know. i just don't see the paths you're mentioning. I think even if carney did things right which he absolutely is NOT doing or going to do we're in trouble for a long time. What paths do you see to resolving the issues? They're fundamentally interconnected, You can't solve our manufacturing without creating investment, no investment without better economy, no better economy without moar investment, etc etc.

LOL well look who worked up the courage to address me directly! Well done, i know that wasn't easy for you, i can be very intimidating to your kind I don't think that any one, former trade partner or otherwise, is excited about dumping the bonds and precipitating a crisis that would massively impact them as well. There's no good reason to do that and tonnes of bad ones. The whole world went into a massive recession the last time the us financial markets crashed due to the Democrat created housing bubble burst... nobody is eager to repeat that. Well no. That would not be entirely accurate. It would create a credit crisis and it would definitely have a significant impact. But I doubt we'd see skyrocketing interest rates, and we almost certainly wouldn't see high inflation. Which makes sense, those two go hand in hand. What we would see is another round of quantitative easing, the dollar would weaken against other currencies and we'd likely see the supply of money available to lenders around the world dry up, which would likely trigger a recession globally. Generally recessions mean LOWER inflation. But... that's slim comfort of course. For those reasons nobody is going to be mass dumping us bonds at all. Now just to save time, i know you're not going to be able to refute any of that logically or from a position of knowledge, so you'll attack me and say "You think you're smarter than whatever economist i just read who confirms my bias?!?!!?" Yes. I'm smarter. Oh, and uh... thanks for "schooling" me LOLOL I always love LEARING from Democrats

None of those are actually the Israeli government So you can't think of one single case of where the Israeli government substantially disputed the numbers, you're just lying to prop up your narrative Ok well sorry that it turned out you were wrong about that but.....

It's literally what you were replying to LOLOLOL Holy shit kid ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!! Oh you don't see ANYONE talking about batteries huh? This was YOUR reply kiddo Nope...we are still a gross importer. Over 68% of our food is imported. You replied to MY POST ABOUT BATTERIES with "WE IMPORT THIS MUCH FOOD" and you were STILL wrong about that too!!! "DERP!! I can't see ANYONE talking about batteries in the post i just quoted and replied to!!! DERP!!!!" How the hell do you manage to get your pants on in the morning or brush your teeth without stabbing yourself in the eye? .LOLOL HOLY SHIT This just keeps getting better.... How is 'food' an example of ev's!!!!!!! You FORGOT WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT You QUOTED me but then managed to get confused! Every single person reading this is laughing their ass off at you kid Holy crap! I literally had to put my coffee down for a minute i was laughing so hard!

So you have no point and you can't articulate any point. So in other words you just blathering like a twat again. Fair enough It's literally what you said so I'm entirely prepared to believe it's bonkers. You're still a little drunk this morning I see Maybe go back and read that again LOL Uhhhh.... we already covered this. You're replying to the same thing you did before. LOL you got confused and forgot what post you were replying to didn't you That is freakin' hilarious! I know that you don't like elections and don't believe in democracy but it would seem like other people on the left are against elections as well if they are free and fair Rigged and stolen seems okay with them as long as it's their candidate

Oh it was a lot later than that. I remember as a kid, would have been about the seventies, listening to my parents talk about one of the parties showing up at a polling station With a bus load of homeless people and giving out free donuts. In those days you didn't have to provide any evidence of residency or citizenship

White right leaning voters are smart enough to get ID. Are you suggesting that non-white left-wing voters are too stupid to be able to acquire ID? Or is it that you're saying they're too lazy to and just don't care. In which case why would we want them voting? The ones who really don't tend to have the appropriate ID are people who shouldn't be voting at all because they're not citizens Let's be clear. Canada has had this for years. It is not a barrier to entry, traditionally our voter turnout is as high or higher than America's

Kicking police vehicles is more than just being really mad. Well it doesn't make someone absolutely crazy it does show massively poor impulse control, serious anger management issues and poor judgment. Which means he had a mental health issue at the very least.

You said the exact opposite when we were talking about trump's indictments. You stated that the indictments were fact and proof that trump had broken the law. You are such a lying sack of crap

Prove him wrong. Post examples of the IDF making these claims that you say they did You guys on the left are sure making an awful lot of statements about how israel always does this and that and strangely you can't find an example!!!!! Why it's almost as if you're lying.

No, you said refugees And we didn't. And your whole point was that we should not complain about the refugees today because we accepted refugees then. But they weren't refugees. They're just people that wanted to live in another country same as any immigrant. That's not what a refugee is Your argument seems to be that if somebody comes to our country using our normal immigration system that there are refugee. That is a lie. As you well know.

You didn't really say a point. He said you might as well say this, when in actuality that is what they said. So again what was your point? The left wing seems to think that fair and free elections are voter suppression Fair and free elections? Well that's true, I guess thinking about it for a moment you've never been a proponent of that and you've been quite vocal about that. I apologize, but I was kind of talking about the left in general rather than you specifically

Not even a little bit. I know that's a lie that you liberals and lefties love to try it out but it's absolutely a lie. The kids see it here in Canada. They know they're screwed. They're frustrated and they're sad. Kids in other countries think that they are going to have it rough but they think that they can get through it and it's not a complete disaster. But in Canada they know they are lost No. It's not other countries. It's here

It's long so i bolded the key points for those who wish to skim it. Sure, I remember. And it was the late 80s more than anything when they said it was going to be almost impossible to recover financially and we were talking about the "plague of the black debt" And sure, thanks to mulroney's gST and free trade agreement we dodged a bullet. The liberals would take credit for it of course but at the end of the day we recovered. But this is substantially worse than that. Business never gave up on Canada during that time and when things got going business investment flooded back. Well we suffered we suffered along with the world and we didn't lose ground to them. Now we are falling so far behind that catching up seems almost impossible. And while there are countries with worse debt to gdps when you actually take a look at the provincial debt and the federal debt combined we are in bad shape. And worse it's accelerating under carney, not getting better. The problem between this and a regular downturn is that with a regular downturn it's like a fire that's starting to burn down. But the Embers are still there and if you throw a little wood on when times get better it flares right back up. But our Embers are dying. Look up what we've lost and where we're at We're losing manufacturing and there's no replacement. That's one of the major economic drivers for Canada. We are severely overtaxed and it will be extremely difficult to back that off, and I don't just mean federal. Write down to the municipal level taxes are an impediment to business We don't like each other. Quebec doesn't want anything to do with the rest of Canada, BC is mad at Alberta, Alberta is mad at everybody except Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan will happily cut the throat of any of its neighbors to satisfy its own needs, ontario has always been one of the most stuck-up self-centered places in the entire known universe and I'm including black holes with that, and the maritimes are both clueless and powerless Our resource business has been crippled by the liberals and there is nothing we can do to fix that without taking the next 10 to 20 years to do so and frankly I don't think carney has any interest in actually moving any of that forward soon. I will bet you dollars to Donuts there are no shovels going into the ground this year for a pipeline. Build baby build was a lie Now add to that that we've lost our largest trading partner substantially and nobody else anywhere around the world is showing any real interest and taking us on as a major partner except possibly for china who just basically wants to own us And backing all of this is a debt level so high across all of the provincial and federal levels that a very large and substantial portion of our tax income has to go just to service interest on the debt. And god help us if interest rates go up again, because if we ever saw 7 or 10% like we did in the 80s it would absolutely cripple and destroy our ability to deliver services regardless of our tax rates within 5 years And business investment is fleeing the country. Not just coming in slower but exiting. We've been through tough times before. But the liberals have left us so crippled and so hurt and so unable to respond That even if we do the right things now recovery is probably 10 to 20 years away. And that's just to get us back to where we were. And what do you think the chances are during those 10 to 20 years that the liberals get back into power and spend their time siphoning the money away from Canada like they did during the last 10 years I don't know that this is recoverable but I wish to hell I was wrong but I just don't see the path

You need a timeline for that? She became laughable so long ago you'd be better off with an archaeologist

Not to mention the fact that Canada weather the recession better than almost any other country and recovered faster. When you look at the path of recovery it made Obama look like he was standing still.

I just want to start off by saying that in my opinion doom and Bloomers was more exciting Moving on to the topic at hand, we're not really talking about specifically whether or not tariffs will wind up being a good thing. We were actually talking about the fed rate and inflation. Tariffs may turn out to be a wonderful thing. Let's assume that they are for the sake of this discussion. But even if the long-term net benefit is good one thing that is 100% undeniable is that tariffs will have an upward pressure on inflation. And as I mentioned it's not the only thing, the current level of government spending will also have a strong upwards pressure on inflation. You cannot spend that much and not have an upward pressure on inflation, I can explain that in detail but at the end of the day it's the way it is. So that's two major pressures on inflation. And let's assume the economy starts actually heating up as you postulate. As I'm sure you're aware a thriving economy also puts upward pressure on inflation. If the fed were to lower its rates that would also put a great deal of upward pressure on inflation. We're talking big time, interest rates are one of the primary methods of controlling inflation. So the point is lowering the fed rate now could very easily be like striking a match to the powder keg of inflation that the country is already sitting on. That's why they're reluctant to do so

Well First off it takes a solid six months for that to show up fully as inflation. So those inflation pressures are going to be going up anyway. In addition a number of suppliers admitted that they were eating the tariff essentially initially but have stopped doing so so there is going to be increases. And in fact it's worth nothing that inflationary pressures right now are above target and are a concern. Which is why the bank he's reluctant. Inflation isn't rampant like it was under Biden but it is high and unfortunately that inflation is occurring on those already inflated prices from Biden. So people are struggling.

And here's the thing. It's not like the laws being proposed aren't in use in other countries including Canada. And there's this strange idea that somehow nobody should ever have to expend any energy whatsoever in order to vote. With making you get personal I D It is so discouraging to these people that they couldn't possibly imagine doing it in order to vote then I've seriously questioned whether they should be voting in the first place. If they were genuinely concerned they would be out there forming groups to make it easy for people to get any ID they need. The fact is the Democrats see this I was being away to weed out illegals and illegals have always benefited them

I think they are probably saying that and they're probably not wrong. So what's your point? Fair an free elections? Well.... sort of i guess. Isn't it supposed to be a left wing thing as well?

Something I've said here a million times. If the left doesn't like the law, then they should have changed the law and should be aiming for change now. That is how things are done. Obama should have changed the law, or biden should have. IF you want these people to be legal. And whenever that is brought up the left wing posters here run and hide. They are well aware americans by and large do NOT want the law changed. So they don't want to bring it up. They just want to leave the laws in place BUT ignore them. "NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW! Except people we like" - the left

Bit of a lie. Just like people on your side of the fence insisted that he claimed there would be blood in the streets if he lost but that's not really what was said

The UN is largely about grift and optics. I mean seriously when was the last time it did something actually extremely useful and productive? It's basically become the Facebook of Nations Those who are not getting sufficient grift from it are uninterested in spending their country's money on it and currently that includes America. I doubt the grift is going to stop anytime soon so I suspect magically they'll find a way to continue

But that's trump. And to be blunt his tendency to go outside of diplomatic norms is one of the things that got him elected especially the first time. It's to be expected, it's baked into the cake

If they lower interest rates it will drive inflation pressures up substantially. That's why they're resistant. The massive amounts of government spending happening right now already put a lot of upward pressure on inflation, and whether you agree with them or not the tariffs also put a certain pressure on inflation and that's just starting to have a serious impact now because it takes a while for that to show up in the supply chain If they lower interest rates I think you would see inflation becoming extremely serious and that's not good for America or Trump
