Carney Is Failing

Shady · September 6, 2025

Carney has not turned things around. Carney has not been much different than Trudeau. Canada continues to fall behind the rest of the G7.

It's all Trump's and Stephen Harper's fault.

Did you expect different GDP data with the tariff and trade pressure Trump is putting on us?

I'm curious what you think Poilievre would have done this quickly to get us a no tariff agreement?

You've avoided the question the last few times I've asked.... You're a Trump supporter of his policies and schtick but have an issue with our economy data that is a direct result of his trade policy, or that Carney hasn't been able to get us a no tariff deal with him yet. You see no conflict of argument there?

Yes. That's literally what carney promised. He swore he'd supercharge the economy to protect against this.

Of course that's the same guy who moved his own business to the states, so... grain of salt i guess

Carney said he could handle this. I don't think anyone expected record growth but I'm pretty sure none of us were looking for bottom of the pile

There is no conflict there. It is possible for a person to admire trump and the positive effect that trump's policies are having on America and still be angry that our leader is such a wet noodle.

I guess what we really needed was a trump.

I expected GDP to be down because we have a f'ing LPOC clown in the PMO again.

You're the one wearing the elbows-up panties, Link.

Trudeau didn't need any help from Obama to sewer our energy sector when he got elected, he did that all on his own, so why are you blaming Trump for that?

It's also because PP is so unpopular. I think one of the tariffs is because his eyes are so close together.

Wow, that's some promise alright. No wonder your're so pissed.

PP said Canada first. That guaranteed a low GDP. Everyone knows that

You think only christians can swear things? Don't be stupid. You swear at me all the time

Unfortunately it looks like he swore HIS vow on the book of trump. Or possibly the book of project 2025 seeing as he had the lead prophet scheduled to visit.

Any decent canadian would be. And by the polling more and more are realizing how badly he's already failing.

Of course, i'm sure it won't bother you Hell you liked Justin and spent all day defending him, no shock you'd defend carney.

Inflation rising, unemplyment rising, manufacturing dropping, soldiers in the streets, Huge geo-political losses, kissing Putin's ass, allowing Netenyahoo's genocide, bringing back measles, polio, rubella , etc..., declaring war on Democratic cities, gerrymandering on steroids, shutting down medical research...

And many other "positive" effects.

Says a lot about what you like in a politician.

You love Trump so much you would betray your country and even lie about the children he raped, saying they recanted their story.

Just think about that—-lying to protect paedophilia.

Policies take years to bear fruit and rarely has our country had to battle such external challenges. Even if Zhou En Lai was talking about 1968 rather than 1789 when he told Kissinger it was too early to say about the significance of events in France, that was still four years later.

https://mediamythalert.com/2011/06/14/too-early-to-say-zhou-was-speaking-about-1968-not-1789/

Many successful administrations start badly, eg Thatcher. I will give Carney two years.

Failing.

Can’t even get a trade deal done interprovincially. He said by Canada Day. It’s September. Wtf?

SO you're obviously talking about carney. Yeah, i think the guy's a jerk too

And youj've already supported rapists and pedophiles openly so maybe you and Carney can get along?

Well there are positive effects, he points to new manufacturing being set up there, there's a lot of examples, the economic situations you mentioned are all looking worse in Canada, we're probably about to be "officially' in a recession in a month and it won't change the quarter after that, many people think that if soldiers in the streets is what it takes to stop crime they'd like to see that here instead of the catch and release, our crime rates are still soaring while theirs are shrinking. We're still shipping weapons to isreal btw, soooo... And to claim trump 'brought back" polio etc is the height of stupidity.

I mean honestly i don't think long term or even mid term trump's strategy is going to pay off like he thinks it will. I think it's a dumb strategy. But it's still doing better than ours, which is basically to give trump whatever he wants.

The fact you can't see the simple truth and have to lie about 'bringing back disease' LOL says a lot about what you think about cocaine and lsd

The problem is many of the things he has announced are being seen as failures before he even moves forward.

The canola farmers are not happy. The liberal mPS have formed a separate caucus just about environmental issues because carney's perceived as being too weak on that front. Rolling back the EV mandate was a half-assed because he only did it for one year so people who care about the environment are mad at him and the car industry is saying this isn't good enough, this is just a delay and we needed decisive action. His housing plan is exciting nobody and the developers are already saying it's not of any value to them. And the one thing he said he would deliver over the summer, an end to interprovincial trade barriers, has just utterly and completely failed out right.

And looking at his situation and his skill set there's really no chance of him turning that around this fall or even into next spring. He would have to do major reversals on a bunch of things and that just simply isn't politically viable. And he's going to run into the same problem that Justin did, he can announce all the things he wants and make all the claims he wants but people will still be able to see that they can't afford their rent or their food and that crime is still up

I suspect that he's going to be down to about 28% by the end of the year or certainly by the beginning of April next year.

How many years are we going to give the Liberals to fix this? It’s been a decade for f**k sake.

Yep. Their “housing accelerator” doesn’t seem to be working.

It can't. It does not address the problem. It is NOT a case that the developers can't borrow money. So offering to lend them money is not going to do a damn thing.

If you understand the industry at all, and i mean at ALL, the solution that would have worked is very obvious and effective but carney didn't give a damn, his advisors who havne't had to worry about home or housing costs in their entire lives gave him bad advice because THEY don't get it, and so his plan is flawed by it's very design

The only people who will benefit are those developers who were already proceeding with projects and will now get a lower rate and be able to pocket more money. But they aren't going to build any extra houses or at the very least not a significant amount by any stretch

The Liberals are incapable of fixing problems.

Ipsos poll: With MPs returning, Carney government has decade-high approval

Posted September 13, 2025 4:00 am EST
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government will face the House of Commons next week for the first time since June. It begins the fall sitting of Parliament with an approval rating among Canadians that no government has seen in nearly a decade, according to new polling done exclusively for Global News by Ipsos.

Carney gets passing grade on dealing with Trump, poll shows

Published Yesterday
Mark Carney gets a passing grade from Canadians when it comes to handling Donald Trump on trade matters, despite the Prime Minister’s lack of success so far in persuading the U.S. President to cut punitive tariffs on goods such as steel, aluminum and autos, a new poll suggests. Fifty-six per cent of respondents to a survey by Nanos Research rated Mr. Carney’s performance in dealing with Mr. Trump as very good or good. Nineteen per cent said it’s been average and 18 per cent said it’s been poor or very poor. Another 3 per cent were unsure. In all, Canadians were more than twice as likely to rate the Prime Minister’s performance as good or very good instead of poor or very poor.
