August1991 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 In this forum, when people speak of "Canada" in English - they are largely speaking of Toronto. Pierre Trudeau understood this distinction. Canada is a much larger place 1 3 1 Quote

ExFlyer Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 (edited) 11 hours ago, Nefarious Banana said: So what exactly does Toronto produce? What is their GDProduct? Treebeard is right... "The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is Canada's economic engine, with a GDP estimated around CA$522 billion (2022) to over $430 billion for the city proper (2020), representing approximately 20% of Canada's total GDP" " Alberta's economy is showing strong growth, with nominal GDP projected to have risen by 4.8% to 5.3% in 2024, following a robust performance in 2023 . GDP at basic prices reached approximately $352.1B in 2024" Edited February 15 by ExFlyer 1 1 Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.

So how does it have a larger GDP than all of Alberta if it’s just paper shufflers? Are you denying reality and facts because they don’t fit your narrative? Edited February 16 by TreeBeard 1 Quote

"Toronto is Canada's premier economic hub, producing a diverse mix of goods and services including financial services, advanced technology, film/television, and manufactured goods like food products, pharmaceuticals, and automotive parts. It is a global hub for tech, AI, and green energy, while supporting a massive film industry and serving as a major North American financial cente" 1 Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.

John Stone Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 ........odd how a Province advocating for independence, represented in Parliament by separatists, endorses language laws and shuns the so-called Constitution unless it suits, seems to have the power to make any Federal government pi$$ it's pants.

Nationalist Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 (edited) The economic hub of Canada is Toronto. Been here close to 30 years. Im retiring and leaving. Not back to Cowtown though. Toronto has quickly become a shithole. One o' my boys thinks he needs to be a cop here...I dont like the idea and hope some harmless small town takes him. The gangs here send kids out to rob and mug, because they're juvies. Slime that they are. Shootings and knifings nightly. Bed-bugs in the subway. The roadways are a mess. Property taxes are rising to stupid levels. They elected a woman who years ago, scammed welfare with her commie hubbie, Layton. The woman can hardly speak English. Toronto is full of stupid people. Socialists. Tweenkies. They've turned Toronto into a pit. Edited February 16 by Nationalist 1 Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Wellllll, maybe not so much...much of the land the money comes from belongs to the indigenous and they are very much against separation. "Oil sands development in Alberta significantly impacts Indigenous lands, particularly within the Athabasca, Cold Lake, and Peace River regions, which fall under Treaty 8 territory. While major energy companies (such as Imperial Oil, Suncor, and Cenovus) operate on these lands—sometimes in partnership with local communities—these projects have resulted in, and continue to cause, substantial environmental, health, and cultural challenges for First Nations and Métis communities" "The entire province is covered by 3 treaty areas (Treaties 6, 7, and 8)," "Almost all of Alberta is covered by traditional, unceded, or treaty territory" "The three largest reserves in Canada are located in Alberta (Treaty 7), including the Blood No. 148, Siksika No. 146, and Piikani."

Hmmm, parking in any hospital in Canada is outrageous. Potholed roads are just a way of life, especially in Ontario I visit Vancouver area frequently...it takes forever to get anywhere and hopefully you don't need to get into the city in the morning or out of it in the afternoon LOL Oh and I am not a fan of the GTA Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.
