CdnFox Posted October 17, 2025 Report Posted October 17, 2025 3 hours ago, I am Groot said: Another Liberal party recession is upon us - aided by Trump. The EDC points out that beyond this year’s poor GDP numbers, in the medium-term Canada will continue to be held back by low productivity, which is the result of lagging investment. C.D. Howe Institute economists noted recently in FP Comment that in Q2 2025, machinery and equipment investment per worker in Canada was less than one-third of what it was in the U.S., and new investment “is falling short of depreciation and population growth, so the stock per worker is falling.” A decade of bad tax policy, expanding regulation, and unchecked government spending will do that. https://archive.is/q7L1P And it's getting worse. Productivity was already in the crapper for the last half decade and now it's just going to nose dive. And we can't make more money as employees with poor productivity, it just doesn't work that way. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

I think that you should be the one that stays indoors because you appear to be an uneducated buffoon who probably hurts yourself every time you go out. Just saying. LOLOLOL. 2 1 Quote

It’s almost like that was their goal or something. This is the point that I'm at, too. There's been sooooo much damage done to our country at every level - healthcare, immigration, the justice system, housing, the economy, the covid over-reaction, scandal after scandal after scandal - it's too much to be just chalked up to simple incompetence. It has to be deliberate. And the gaslighting - MSM relays the Liberal government's mantra that "Everything is great!" "Canada is doing better than ever!" If I heard "Triple A credit rating!" one more time, I'm gonna stab myself in the throat. All that tells the Liberals is that they can continue borrowing and printing money. For the last 5+ years, I feel like I'm living in bizarro world. 19 hours ago, CdnFox said: Productivity was already in the crapper for the last half decade and now it's just going to nose dive.

Goddess Posted October 18, 2025 Report Posted October 18, 2025 I watched the Liberal press conference the other day about forking over $283 million to fix a Toronto sewer line. Feds announce $283M for Toronto sewer upgrades in Black Creek | CBC News This is how low the Liberals are setting the bar for government competence and most Canadians will clap like seals for this. They want applause and accolades FOR DOING THEIR DAMN JOBS! Your job is literally maintaining Canada's infrastructure by using OUR tax dollars. That money doesn't come from the Liberal gov't. The gov't has no money. It's YOUR money. 1 Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~

Sometimes looking at dramatic fail points speaks to the motivation (or possible motivation) behind what appears (at first glance) to be madness. Policing is an example of what I mean. No sensible person defunds police, increases felony theft amounts and legislates easy bail conditions without realizing the consequence of doing so... especially when all of those things are done at the same time. It was deliberate (especially in the US) and the question is why? IMO again, it's an effort to make things so bad that federalizing municipal police (and intelligence services) under one umbrella with loyalty and tasking priorities under the purview of a centralized federal authority becomes seen as something to applaud. A victory of sorts for the common man who would never (and I mean N E V E R) have supported the idea otherwise. You had to scare him into it. The fun part is that this particular strategy requires a concerted effort to control short term election outcomes for a period that's long enough to reap the benefits that comes with it. We certainly saw that in spades with the democrats... I think Trump came as an unwelcome surprise and I laugh every time I see him capitalizing on what the democrats worked hard at inventing. In any case, the end state is the amalgamation of government, media and security forces (which includes intelligence) under one cohesive umbrella. I call it the unholy trinity. Legitimate refugees should be extensively interviewed in a public forum for all to see, they know the pattern... that's why they're here. Ironically, liberals and democrats expect them to be on their side and support what (and how) they're doing things. That's usually not the case though, same thing with veterans who served in the locations where legitimate refugees typically hail from. It's kind of fun to watch and overall it speaks to the notion that knowing what you don't want is every bit as important as thinking you know what you might maybe want. Dictators for life have the benefit of time and political parties don't. The mighty see-saw can easily get out of phase with what either party initially planned... Trump was unplanned and progressives should have known better than to risk it. Conservatives are celebrating now and progressives are screaming Hitler. In the fullness of time the see-saw will have its way with both groups in turn and the reversal of fortunes (at least in my household) will be measured in popcorn consumption.

They did it with Capital Gains and the Liberal party commissioned studies in the last few years on how much money they could get from Canadian's home equity. Next, they will be coming after the ones who voted for them because they had enough assets to not be affected by the economic and housing upheavals.

I think you two have some excellent points. but i think you're missing a very important one. There doesn't need to be malice to drive the country into the ground, a car is going to crash if the driver stops driving whether he wants it to or not. I think the problem is the liberals are entirely focused on milking the system to put massive amounts of money into their own pockets. I think the only thought they give to the economy is that it has to be strong enough to provide the billions they funnel into special interest groups, international charities, consultants and businesses all of which will provide them with vast wealth when they're out of office, and also spending hundreds of millions in taxpayer money on their own perks and benefits while in office and to make connections for when they leave , I think they just stopped driving the economic car, and if it crashed oh well, as long as it was still strong enough to pay for justin's 1000 dollars a plate airline food etc I think the only time they bothered with policy was the minimum they had to do to avoid being thrown out. In other words, they're more like vampires than overlords - they want to keep the country barely alive and not fighting back so they can enjoy their meal ticket. I'm sure they wouldn't be mad if we were more successful, they're just not prepared to put any energy into making that happen. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
Goddess Posted October 18, 2025 Report Posted October 18, 2025 15 minutes ago, CdnFox said: There doesn't need to be malice to drive the country into the ground, I agree with you to an extent. But these people have power and they are paid handsomely to, in many cases, make life and death decisions for Canadians. Canada's politicians are the second highest paid on the planet, second only to Singapore. Malice does not have to imply intent. It can also be inferred by willful negligence and disregard for others' rights and safety. In law, when negligence is so egregious that it shows a conscious indifference to consequences, courts may infer a malicious mindset. You are more generous in your assessment of them than I am. I do agree that they have no intentions to govern Canada to success and are only in it to line their own pockets. Everything they do is nothing but virtue-signaling. Like holding a press conference to announce they are fixing a sewer line.

Goddess Posted October 18, 2025 Report Posted October 18, 2025 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Goddess said: they are paid handsomely to, in many cases, make life and death decisions for Canadians. Eby has recently come out and admitted the "safe supply" experiment was a mistake. The devastation and deaths to Canadian families from that decision alone.....there needs to be accountability. But the Canadian public has always been apathetic to holding our very-highly-paid politicians accountable for policies that everyone knew were going to have bad, or even horrific, outcomes. Look at the extreme case of the vapors all the Liberals have right now because Polievre dared to say that Trudeau should be in jail for some of his scandals and that the RCMP helped cover them up. He's not wrong. He's absolutely correct. Democracy Watch is still fighting to bring the SNC Lavalin case to justice. In fact, they were successful in getting the documentation released that Trudeau tried to prevent and the RCMP could have gotten, but refused to try. Most Canadians don't know that the RCMP Commissioner is appointed by the Prime Minister and serves at his pleasure. Their job security is dependent on pleasing the PM. In this case, Duheme had only been appointed as INTERIM commissioner, so his job security was doubly in jeopardy if he chose to charge Trudeau. Democracy Watch forwarded all the documents to media outlets and offered interviews and they were roundly ignored by MSM. Only APTN has done stories on it.

The NDP should be the party that balances out both the other ones, whichever one is in power. They didn't do that with Trudeau. They cheered him on and helped him steer us off the cliff. I had an NDP guy come to my door before the last election and he asked if they could count on my support and I couldn't help it but I laughed and said, "Fuque, NO!" He didn't say anything, just walked away.
