Cite what advice was given from Carney to Trudeau and acted on.  

Only in your simple mind would you see Carney as Trudeau as the same.

Cite??? Just look around, surely you're capable of that.

So tomorrow won't arrive on time unless there's a cite? What about sight?

It was Carney's idea for Trudeau to continue to be a greasy loser, which he did, so that Carney would fit right in after he got appointed.

It was all detailed in the memo that you can find here: www.linkisSOdumbhewillclickthis.com/whaddaret4rdheis

LMAO...  that's all you got?  Maybe I'll go to www.WestCanFool.com to check the latest news there....

There is a reason I think you're useless and a waste of time.  Thanks for confirming...

Report from the CD Howe Institute, out today.

Fiscal Fantasy: Believe It or Not, Fiscal Reality Hasn’t Gone Away – C.D. Howe Institute

 

• Canada can no longer pride itself on its fiscal discipline. With the economy operating near capacity and growth in productive capacity weak, governments continue to run deficits and project rising debt ratios, undermining growth and living standards rather than supporting them.
• Government projections understate the risks. Weak productivity, low business investment, and demographic pressures will hold back growth and revenues, while ageing, healthcare, and defense will push spending higher. Even modest changes in growth or interest rates could materially worsen the fiscal picture.
•  Restoring discipline will take a real change in direction. Governments must rein in spending, set a credible path to balance, and pursue reforms that boost investment and productivity, including shifting the tax mix away from income towards less distortionary taxes. The federal government must lead the way in its upcoming Spring Economic Update.
• Fiscal excess has already undermined economic growth and living standards. Without bold action to reduce the burden of public debt, government-fuelled consumption will continue to cut into the saving and investment needed to raise our incomes and purchasing power – and increase the risk of a borrowing crisis to boot. The federal government’s upcoming fiscal update needs to outline a change of direction – a profound and credible one.
• The 2025 federal budget projected that the ratio of federal debt³ to GDP would still exceed 37.2 percent in 30 years. This projection exemplifies current lack of concern about large debts and fantasy about addressing them.
• International comparisons of gross debt are not nearly as favourable to Canada as they appear. 
• Perhaps most conclusively, it is unconscionable to burden future generations for current consumption that they – living with an economy suffering from a decade of deficient saving and private investment – will not enjoy.

Governments talk about their spending as “investment” that will boost growth. But the issue is whether the government or the private sector is better placed to make investments that will yield an economic return. When the economy is at capacity, higher government spending and borrowing reduce the resources available for private sector investment (Robson and Bafale 2025).

The same amount Poilievre is paying you.

I helped vote in the old PM in2015,

 

Yeah. And despite your lies you kept supporting him. You didn't vote conservative

And now you're saying Carney's great, the guy who advised the previous guy and is basically doing the same things except worse

The new PM is a lightyear ahead in economic and business acumen of any alternative we had, so the best (and only) choice for the country, which the vast majority agree with.

He isn't. And liberals were told that just as they were told that a drama teacher does not make a good prime minister.

And let's take a look at the results.

Deal with USA? No

Build baby build? No

New major projects that weren't on the books already? No

Inter provincial trade improved? No

More homes being built? No

is our International trade up at all? No

Have we reduced deficits? No

 

We don't even have any substantial new trade deals for all his running around. The actual amount of pend deals that we have that specifically address trade he's worth less than the money he spent flying around to get them

Complete failure across the board.

All you're doing is lying to try and justify your bad choices and obvious failures

Given the billions that the Liberal government has lost in trying to "invest", I say let the private sector do it.

This level of economic incompetence borders on deliberate malfeasance.

Trump's approval rating is in the low 30%'s.... slightly higher than the US illiteracy rate of ~28%.  I see a correlation here...

You approve of his performance, right?

~28% of the US population was considered illiterate in 23/24.

Good to see you keep hoping for Canada's failure.  It's all the you idi0ts and the conservative leader has.

I'd suggest you read what has been done, but you're incapable.

BTW, where the hell are the affordability links kiddo?  I can only ask so many times...

Considering you never can, or will answer simple questions to the fantasy world make-ups you spew on a daily basis I'll humour you here...  and not very difficult to find on your own.

AI Overview

As of 2023–2024, approximately 21% to 28% of U.S. adults have low literacy or, functionally, are illiterate, struggling with tasks like comparing information or reading below a 6th-grade level. This affects roughly 43 million adults, with low-literacy rates rising by 9 percentage points between 2017 and 2023.

21% in 2023 was the figure I saw from Our World in Data. 

Interestingly, Canada in 2023 was not much better at 19%.

You might want to come up with a new factoid to hate Americans with.

I avoid AI.  You know it just tells you what you want to hear based on your own algorithms, right?
