Lol... sure it is. I'm not rewriting history... I'm just citing what history says and taking my bias out of it. It's black and white....try reading something even if you don't agree with it. It has everything to do with me knowing that industry and how intertwined and reliant it is on the auto industry. Are you really this fücking stupid, or do you have to work at it?

Like your equally stunned little friend... he can't show me the cites, can you?

You might be surprised... I grew up literally about 5 miles from Cavalier tool & die, had a number of friends in the industry back then, and have a nephew today who owns a tool & die shop in Windsor. You.... X? Great, you watch committee meetings, but for the 4th time now..... tell me how they plan to save themselves with the US bent on lessening our auto industry.

That's why there are search engines dumbfûck... Is your twisted little mind all squared up on what happened 5 and 10 years ago? Of course it is....you have X as your guiding influence in life.

Another case of you knowing better than the majority of economists... You never did get back on this form a week or two ago but what again is your work experience and education background that gives you this type of insight? Yes, been through the food inflation thing. A ~$0.72/1.38 dollar will certainly impact prices. Sorry little fella but he's all we got right now so rather than hoping for the country to fail, maybe try reading both sides to form better opinions.

There was nothing to refute. BTW... still waiting for the cites of how affordable metro Van was in 2015.

So like your little friend, you can't prove what I said is wrong, can you... 😂 You're a whack job... In your mind the rest of the world is out of step as you spend your waking moments crying and complaining about the past while relying on random and think-alike posts on X to fuel your narratives and conspiracies. That's not what 'normal thinking' people do...

You know jackshît about the tool & die industry. Again, it is heavily geared to the auto sector so why don't you just answer the question of how that industry will 'save itself' if 25% tariffs are meant to lessen our auto sector? You talk a lot, but fail to see the reality of things and can't answer simple questions. Lol... this coming from and X junkie... Where are the cites? They don't exist, do they.... 😂

I certainly don't specifically remember, but below is a s=imple search result. Looks like he wasn't the only economist that was wrong... but you know better don't you kiddo 😂 In 2020 and early 2021, the consensus among many economists, central bank officials, and international institutions (like the IMF) was that the pandemic would create a massive "negative demand shock" similar to the 2008 financial crisis, driving prices down. Wrong Prediction: In 2020, many feared a "deflationary trap" due to businesses shutting down and consumption plunging. "Transitory" Inflation Call: When prices began rising in 2021, top U.S. economists—including Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen—initially called the rising prices "transitory". Nobel Economists: In 2021, 16 of 36 living American Nobel economists incorrectly declared there was no threat of inflation from new government stimulus. Missed Supply Constraints: Most models failed to predict that the combination of massive stimulus (demand boost) and severe supply chain disruptions would cause 40-year high inflation, rather than deflation. It absolutely does have merit...with oil demand projected to peak around 2030 Won't even try to convince your uneducated and bias mind otherwise... You should probably look at the pipeline MOU with Alberta for details and where it stands. News today actually that the federal government favours a southern route through BC that would face fewer environmental hurdles and less resistance from FN's. If in your mind it's all smoke and mirrors, so be it... personally don't care, and would prefer not to see a northern bitumen pipeline built.

Yes, 2010... Are you that uneducated to believe that housing markets only changed during one year... Again, cite some data to back up your claim.

Sure kid... Why don't you cite some links to back those comments.

Interesting.... Smith believes the federal government is working with them. Guess you know more from your X sources. How is the tool & die industry going to 'save itself'... It's mainly geared to the auto industry and if we have a trade partner that wants auto production to be happening in their country with 25% tariffs supporting that, how does that industry save themselves? That's your opinion which is fine. Approval ratings show the majority of Canadians think otherwise, and similar to Poilievre's disapproval rating. Sounds about right...

Sure, all your friends on X and Facebook are dialed in to the real world with no bias whatsoever.... Yes, that industry expressed frustration early last year. How exactly are they going to get 25% tariffs removed.... short answer, they're not. Ever thought of why this industry and others with high tariffs are struggling right now? No, your reliance of X posts is laughable because that's what you do... You're bias as they come so only look for news from your think-alike friends on X and FB, so of course MSM doesn't fit your world of reality. Regarding housing and your think-alike friend Fxx... I asked you yesterday to prove me wrong. Guessing you can't, can you... You have the market cornered on idi0cy... From your one track mind of crying and complaining all day long about the past, to your X 'news', to your imagined conspiracies... is not what most sane people do on a daily basis.

Lol... that's mini-Poilievre speak. I suppose he was just a DEI hire who has just skated through the positions he's held... Yes, him and many other economists were wrong about covid and deflation. There is nothing hidden about the industrial carbon tax. Net-zero bankruptcy is not accurate. A lot of pressure from US lawmakers who threatened lawsuit against firms boycotting fossil fuel companies so investors do what they always do.... protect capital. The alliance was dissolved, it did not 'go bankrupt' in a financial sense. Keeping the oil in the ground still has a lot of merit, but things change. Again, things change and why he is now working with Alberta on a pipeline project. Regarding Brexit... Carney had nothing to do with government policy of trade and the frictions in Europe around Brexit, labour shortages with lesser free movement of workers from EU countries, lower foreign investment, or political leadership changes with Johnson and Truss. I get your head is up Poilievres âss and you're bias against anything left, but reading both sides of a story usually helps form more accurate opinions. Try it some time.

If you consider ~4M bpd of oil non-reliant, okay.... Correct, and why we're trying to attract more investment. As a reference, governments make policy, taxes, regulations, etc, etc... The capital comes from the private sector, or through private/public partnerships. Maybe we won't get a better deal, which means more inflation for you. Your off-shoring plan doesn't seem to be working all that well with 100K + lost manufacturing jobs since you guy took office again. I'll assume most Canadian's that invest have a sizeable part of these investments in US companies. Your point is...what? And yes, Carney was a central banker but also an investment banker with Goldman Sachs and Chair of transition investing at Brookfield. Again, your point is...what?

One of the world's least affordable cities in the early 2010's was affordable. Makes sense... Let's go with that... 😂

Lol... sure you were. I'm desperate and having a mental breakdown because you ignore facts. When all else fails, go with that kiddo.

Yes, those same businesses are still choosing to build, albeit less in Canada. Labor in Mexico is less expensive... you're kidding. It's still the plan, just not your leverage... you can't do without our energy, realistically or economically, and certainly want access to our raw materials. Elbows up was a lot more polite than 'fúck you', so we stuck with that. It's a Canadian thing...

There are options in the same to similar price point. Kia Lite, Fiat 500, Chevy Bolt, and bit more expensive Nissan Leaf. It's 3% of our total market sales... and sure we can make a lot of other cars, but those other cars head offices have either closed or downsized their Canadian footprint over time, and now to avoid US tariffs. We can learn more about their EV technology, manufacturing efficiency, how they manage their supply chain, how they control battery production so we can move up the value chain and start producing batteries in large scale, rather than exporting the raw materials, etc, etc.. Our auto industry has been under siege, or better said losing production and assembly for the last 20 years. Since 2000 the Big 3 has reduced their production in Canada by ~80% and we've lost ~1.7M jobs. Watching the industry and the jobs it supports fade away to nothing isn't an option. If the US wants to go another route with cars we have to think outside the box because I don't think a 'let's give the US everything they want' trade deal would go over well with the majority of Canadians...especially the ones employed in the auto industry. Our 'partner' changed the rules on deals that saw people lose their jobs, and you're of the opinion we kiss their âss. I have no idea why we haven't heard more from Canada except that they probably don't want to negotiate in the news, which the US likes to do. Whatever, agree to a deal if it's a good deal. If not, don't.

It's not an insult. I'm betting you still do. You certainly weren't in the market in metro Vancouver in 2015 if you don't know what happened with housing in the early 2010's. Our federal government at the time prioritized trade and investment with China and the amount of their capital that came into Vancouver and the region buying homes that drove up prices significantly and created a ripple effect on pricing that made it highly unaffordable for many. A simple google search will help you.... 'was metro Vancouver housing unaffordable in 2015', 'was the cost of housing in Metro Vancouver unaffordable in 2015', are any variation of wording you'd like. And so much for your facts, again.... In 2015, the median household income in Metro Vancouver was approximately $72,662. This income was largely insufficient to afford the average home with high-income households (earning over $100k) making up the largest segment, yet home prices rose significantly faster than wages. Rental affordability was also poor, with over three-quarters of households spending more than 30% of income on rent. Interested to hear how you'll spin that in 2015 was the second-least affordable city in the world behind Hong Kong, yet really affordable for the average family.... Your serve 🤡

Says the guy who probably still lives in his parents basement... Again, if you choose not to accept facts, that's your choice.

You need to pay better attention Uncle Sam... The US has the same 25% auto tariffs on Mexico that they do Canada, and like us Mexico has seen their auto industry significantly impacted. I'm not sure what you mean by 'pigheaded'... If the US doesn't want the NA auto sector to be as integrated as it is do you expect us to stand by watching people lose jobs. Not likely...

It's funny how you get these bits of info on X from your other simple minded friends, and next thing you know, it's gospel. The paperboy is a nursery rhyme machine... Enjoy him while he's still in politics. The conservative party and Canada deserves better than him. Maybe Carney just stumbled into all those positions...?

He's sure as hell a better option than the lifelong politician paperboy who is the butt end of US jokes...

Lol... fûck are you stupid! 😂 Try listening again kid. The paperboy is still trying to figure out what forward guidance is and how it's all Trudeau's fault... Prove it wrong....
