CARNEY STRIKES BACK AGAINST INCREASED US TARIFFS BY LOWERING OUR COUNTER TARIFFS EVEN FURTHER.

"Elbows up" is the mafia name for his strategy, like when they name a guy Jimmy no-nose because he has a huge schnozz.

When the carney says "elbows up" actually means "tits down, ass up". 

It's weird to watch, but not unexpected.

Blinded by their their lava hot hatred of Liberals, the traitors shout the same inanities over and over, louder and louder.

Baww! Cut off our noses to spite our own faces - that'll show 'em !

It's not good, it seems like mostly the youth that are getting pounded. We had a good June so this isn't as crippling as it looks but it's not good. 

what  concerns me is that so far the tariffs haven't really had a massive impact on manufacturing and those jobs are holding about steady, but that suggests to me that we may have a lot of room for losses there in the near future as the tariffs really hit home, and employment in other sectors including construction will already be weak. 

The kids seem to be really out of luck, there's just no jobs for young people.

Liberals have really f**ked over younger generations.  First doubling housing, and now brining in 3+ million new citizens over the last 2 years, completely destroying youth job opportunities.  I honestly don’t know how anyone can support these policies and think they’re beneficial for Canada.  It’s like they don’t even care at this point.

It's important to never underestimate the left's incredible powers of self delusion. 

They will convince themselves that it's not really true, but Carney will fix it in 5 minutes, or that nobody could possibly fix it and this has been happening for hundreds of years in the making so it's not their fault, or that it's like this all over the world and it's a global problem and has nothing to do with the liberals, or that it has nothing to do with the liberals it's all about trump and harper etc etc

When we look at some of the replies you see on this board. Do not just illogical, they're delusional. They insist that known facts which are easily demonstrable and provable are not true even when presented with evidence

It's very disappointing

Canada will become a failed state soon enough. It’s only a matter of time now before Alberta and Saskatchewan secede. When that happens, BC will lose any significance as there would be no land bridge east, no use for their superport and pointless capital flight destination. Quebec would also secede as the Ontarian are broke. Canada is quite literally up for sale at this point. You all just haven’t realized it yet.

Saskatchewan and Alberta will still need to ship their grain and oil, even if they become a separate country they're not moving to a separate planet  

Chances are given the circumstances PC might very well decide to join them. But whether they do or they don't if anything will be more important than ever

Everything is Justin's fault - always has been always will be.

Mark my words even Carney himself will be saying so one day.

Vancouver housing prices doubled under Harper as well and just kept on going under Trudeau. Trudeau did screw up immigration.

No, not really.  You can cherry pick your years to make it sort of look like that but no. 

When harper took over vancouver was coming off a long stretch of stagnation and even reducing housing prices. The ndp gov't which had been in power in british columbia didn't do a lot for the economy. 

So when that gov't changed AND harper came along things picked up but it was mostly catching up for lost time. 

And it had a spike at the end but it also had dips near the end too. 

It shot up at a vastly vastly higher rate under justin. it didn't just 'keep going up'. 

But it's pretty cheezy looking at one city in one province.  Lets be a little more real about it, 

In harper's time the average house price in CANADA, not just one part of it, went from $305,000 in 2007  to approximately $413,000.

During justin's time it went from $413,000, and in the end it had reached $811,700, with some areas experiencing small fluctuations and drops around 2023-4 but the national average not changing much. 

So it LITERALLY doubled under justin, under harper it went up maybe 25 percent on average. 

But what about rent? Hey if you can't buy at least you can rent so how'd that do?

Under harper it started about 774 to 996.  A significant increase, but still affordable.

Under justin it went from there to 2200.   MORE than double, and became unaffordable for many. 

There's no comparison. Period.  And harper was already beginning to take steps to keep pricing under control which justin threw out the window, 

 

Justin destroyed the economy, justin has made housing beyond the reach of most young people, justin drove investment out of the country and it's not coming back any time soon, justin created an overpopulation problem. 

He was EASILY the worst prime minister in history. And this is the party you voted for,

I don't think government policy was a major factor for either Harper or Trudeau although Trudeau's immigration policy certainly didn't help. Look at home price history and mortgage rate history and you will see that as interest rates declined, home prices increased. Almost free money and the ability to qualify for huge mortgages had as much to do with it as anything. That long period of stagnation was more a result of high interest rates than anything else.

I would agree that it's absolutely fair to say that in either case it wasn't the only policy or a factor that had an impact. Municipal and provincial gov'ts played a role as well for certain, becoming more and more drunk on the revenues from the fees associated with the approval and inspection process.

But they do play a role, harper suppressed the growth during his time with changes to the banking act to reduce the terms from 30 years or longer back down to 25, and made some other changes as well, but in fairness it just wasn't a real problem during his time.  Homes were affordable and rents reasonable even though they were higher and prices had grown a litlte more than inflation. 

I think the big thing was immigration.  And i think that's where justin failed horribly.  And it was reported that his people warned him about it, but they didn't change anything. 

We simply brought in too many people too fast and did not build enough to account for it.  And the moment that pressure was reduced housing prices and rents backed off a little.  The problem is that now the market will correct by radically reducing building and we're setting up for the same problem and worse shortly.
