Canada has now endured a decade of virtual stagnation in real per-capita incomes, productivity and growth in the private-sector capital stock, as well as unprecedented net direct investment outflows. Productivity in Canada is in a secular decline — that is not on Trump.

Productivity growth is basically flat over the past year, and that compares to two per cent in the U.S. and, get this, almost 10 per cent in Ireland. The Canadian government has built up such a machinery that it represents 26 per cent of GDP. The business sector now commands around a 10 per cent share, which is about three-quarters of what it is in the U.S.

I wonder if most Canadians know, or even care, that business taxation in this country amounts to nearly five per cent of GDP. It is barely more than two per cent in the U.S., less than three per cent for many countries in Europe, and we have the dubious honour of being the highest in that respect for all G-10 countries.

Mark Carney talks about initiatives to drive internal demand dynamics, but this is really all just a case of nibbling around the edges and smoke and mirrors. One year it’s a temporary GST holiday, and now it’s tax breaks on electric vehicles. Talk about bringing a butter knife to a gunfight.

Canada has a pattern of running to China to remedy trade woes, and every time it fails miserably. Ottawa still hasn't learned its lesson

“An economic slump in the U.S. was going to affect Canada’s financial health, and so trade diversification again became a driving consideration. But instead of diversifying trade with like-minded democracies, Canada went begging at the doorstep of the Communist state that had been engaged in foreign interference and espionage against Canada and the U.S. for the past 30 years.”

How well has trade diversification with the PRC worked out?

What should be glaringly apparent is that for nearly 30 years, China has repeatedly targeted Canadian canola. Diversification was required in that sector, away from dependence on the PRC.

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/dennis-molinaro-diversifying-trade-with-china-is-a-losing-play

How many Prime Ministers have fallen into the same trap with China, thinking that the CCP is going to play fair with Canada?

I don't think you understand what's going on.

Canada didn't go running anywhere. Carney did.

He already had a well-established relationship with china. China went Brookfield the money that they used to finance the loan they provided to elon musk to buy twitter. Carney had already developed close ties with china's financial communities during his time working as an agent for Trudeau.

When carney steps down he will be looking to retire on kickbacks and selling his access for hundreds of millions per year.

He is developing those ties right now and if Canada suffers as a result that's really not his problem

You need to understand the motivation before you can criticize it. The members of the liberal party are seeking to set themselves up for life and this is part of that, it is not part of doing the right thing for Canada

Food inflation in Canada at 7% now.  It’s clear after sever years the Liberals have no idea how to fix this problem.

Canada is by far the worst in the G7.

https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/economics/2026/02/17/food-inflation-spiked-73-in-january-heres-whats-driving-the-increase/

Yeah, it's basically a crisis.  People simply cannot afford to have their food costs going up that much. it's not really a discretionary expenditure, you can cut back on the luxuries but i think people are at that point already and they're STILL spending 100 dollars a person per week to feed themselves and that's if they're scrimping hard. 

And while rent isn't shooting up at the moment it's still stuck at ridiculous heights and wages are not keeping up. 


"Inflation" doesn't really represent reality if things you can live without are down but the things you MUST buy are up. 

And our inflation rate fell to 2.4 or thereabouts because of the gst cut last April - that skewed the gas price comparison between last January and this one, but that's already been absorbed and so real inflation is actually higher.  When that gst drop catches up in a few months inflation will 'magically' go up again. 

And that all puts a strain on the rest of the economy.

No prosperous nation needs to give its citizens a rebate so they can afford the necessities of life.

The "grocery rebate" is a huge admission of failure.

Worse it will actually make food inflation as well as other inflation go up. Whenever you randomly dump large amounts of money onto the public that's what happens

Of course, that has nothing to do with food costs LOL LOL LOL

At least Alberta and BC have the sense to ignore dumb federal regulations and build an oil pipeline straight south to the States.

Canada is going to continue to fall apart. Alberta will lead as the western provinces do what they must for their own prosperity.

Lol, and it’s Liberals that gave us the weak dollar.  Regardless, our food inflation never used to be this bad, even when the dollar was low.

Brutal.

 There has been another floor crosser to the Liberals so now this is going to dominate the news cycle for weeks on end.

Too many Canadians just don't seem to care what's happening to this country, or else they're perfectly fine with mediocrity.

Not by me andit makes sense

"Can we stop pretending the Prime Minister is standing at the cash register setting the price of lettuce?
Canada’s grocery inflation spikes are mostly coming from import cost reality: a weaker dollar, global food shocks, climate hits, shipping, packaging, fertilizer, the stuff that raises costs before your food even lands on a shelf. Even the Bank of Canada has pointed to import cost pressures as a major driver behind the resurgence.
But here’s where it gets disgusting: While Canadians are getting cooked at checkout, Galen G. Weston’s Loblaw empire is still the biggest player in the room… and certain politicians are out here acting like they’re “fighting for you” while keeping the corporate backchannels warm.
Let’s talk about Pierre Poilievre’s circle.
Jenni Byrne is one of Poilievre’s key political operators, and her firm, Jenni Byrne + Associates, has been registered to lobby the Ontario government on behalf of Loblaw, according to provincial lobby records.
So when Poilievre, Melissa Lantsman, and the Byrne machine start doing the “we care about grocery prices” routine, ask the only question that matters:
If you’re really on the side of working people… why are the people closest to you tied to the grocery giant’s lobbying ecosystem?
And here’s the part the rage bait crowd hates: You can be mad at grocery bills AND be honest about the causes. It’s not “Carney controls prices.” That’s toddler level economics.
But it is true that market concentration can make price drops slower and pain stickier, which is why serious policy means: more competition, fewer barriers to new entrants, and less corporate gatekeeping.
So yeah, I’ll be fair: The Liberal government doesn’t control global food prices or the Canadian dollar like a thermostat. But they can keep doing the adult work: competition reform, supply chain resilience, affordability measures that actually move the needle.
And to anyone still falling for Poilievre’s “I’m your grocery warrior” cosplay…
If your ‘anti gouging’ hero’s inner circle is orbiting Loblaw’s lobbying world, you’re not watching a solution."

Thing is...Carney is way ahead for who Canadians think would be the best PM.

It is leadership that is the problem... Canadians may not like what is going on but they think Polievere is not the one to run this country  and here we sit.

Results from the party that always goes on and on about sustainability.

The PBO released its Personnel Expenditure Analysis today.

The federal bureaucracy cost taxpayers $71.4 billion in 2024-25, according to the PBO. The bureaucracy cost taxpayers $39.6 billion in 2015-16. That means the cost of the federal bureaucracy increased 80 per cent in 10 years.

I suppose we have to get used to this sort of thing for those of us resigned to many more years of Liberal governance.

It's not just our oil & gas and minerals sectors.  Liberals want ZERO industry in Canada.

Carney has just closed 7 agricultural research centers that deliver leading innovations to farmers.  650 jobs lost in agricultural research.

But he's giving $19 Billion to his consultant cronies.

$8 million for gender-sensitive rice in Viet Nam.

$22 million for to empower women bean farmers in the Congo.

Farmers are pi$$ed.  This is a huge blow to the agricultural sector.

You think this is news?

Let me save you some time for the next few years,  "Carney acts to line his own pocket and the pockets of his friends and funnel taxpayer money into outside organizations who will pay him back when he leaves office, and racks up unreasonable expenses for his own pleasure while in office"

I know. 😢

I saw this today, it's full of facts I've already verified:

Mark Carney isn’t “diversifying” Canada’s trade to save the country from Trump’s tariffs—he’s architecting a giant new economic playground where his old Wall Street empire, Brookfield Asset Management, gets first dibs on the spoils.

This EU-CPTPP “bridge” he’s hawking? It’s sold as a noble 1.5-billion-person rules-based bloc standing up to American bullying. Bullshit. It’s a supply-chain rerouting scheme that funnels critical minerals, green infrastructure, modular housing, renewables, and critical battery/EV-adjacent plays straight into the laps of the exact sectors Brookfield has been loading up on for years—while Carney sat in the chairman’s seat raking in performance fees and deferred millions.

He parked most of his Brookfield holdings in a so-called “blind trust” when he became PM?   Cute. That screen conveniently excludes 95% of Brookfield’s 2,000+ subsidiaries and affiliates. The same Brookfield that already pocketed wins on Westinghouse nuclear deals, green-energy grids, carbon-credit systems, and infrastructure funds that magically align with every Liberal priority Carney now rams through cabinet. Coincidence? Please.

The timing is naked: Davos speech → immediate exploratory talks → Canada “championing” the linkage while food inflation hits 7.3%, restaurant prices spike 12%, and ordinary Canadians get crushed under the cost-of-living hammer he helped build.

Meanwhile, he jets to China for “strategic partnerships,” opens doors to Chinese EVs, joins EU defense slush funds, and quietly sets up Brookfield-friendly procurement rules—all while lecturing the world about “great power rivalry” and “economic coercion.”

This isn’t leadership. It’s a cash-out.

A Davos-finance-bro-turned-PM using the highest office in the land as a launchpad to supercharge his carried-interest billions (estimates run $250M–$1B+ from green-transition plays alone) and lock in global supply chains that benefit his network far more than they ever will the average trucker in Regina or nurse in Halifax.

Canadians aren’t getting a middle-power alliance. They’re getting sold out—again—by a guy who’s spent his career turning public policy into private windfalls. The “rules-based order” he preaches only applies until it hits his portfolio. If it walks like manipulation for profit, talks like manipulation for profit, and smells like manipulation for profit… it’s exactly what it looks like.

Wake the hell up, Canada. This isn’t diversification. It’s divestment—of your sovereignty, your wallet, and your future—straight into Mark Carney’s Cayman-adjacent retirement fund.

Canada has a hidden asylum-policy problem - The Globe and Mail

 

The IRB developed a policy called “File Review,” which allowed asylum claims to be rapidly accepted in large numbers from a list of countries on the basis of the untested written application and documents in each file, and without refugees being questioned at a hearing. The policy appears to have been implemented unilaterally, without the approval of ministers or cabinet. For example, between January, 2019, and February, 2023, 24,599 asylum claimants were accepted without being asked a single question.

More broadly, the IRB’s recognition rate for asylum claims has climbed to 80 per cent of claims decided on their merits, excluding files summarily closed where the claim was withdrawn or abandoned. In comparison, in 2024 Ireland accepted 30 per cent of claims on the merits, Sweden 40 per cent, and Germany 59 per cent. Research suggests that acceptance rates are a significant factor in asylum seekers’ choice of a destination country.

it is worth noting that the number of new asylum claims in Canada has increased since the IRB began rapidly accepting claims. A backlog of 17,000 claims in 2016 has grown to nearly 300,000 in 2025. Policies such as File Review, intended to reduce the backlog, have not only failed to do so, but may have reinforced perceptions of speed, success, and reduced scrutiny, signaling to the world that Canada’s asylum system is easy.
