Given our dollar tracks the price of oil I’d say that then makes up screwed. I hope the poor didn’t need anything from the government.

We can’t even fund our basic healthcare after 10 years of the Liberals. How many citizens don’t have a doctor, and what is the wait time at the ER?

That’s a good argument with yourself there.

WWII was caused by global populism and tariffs just as we are seeing now. I think it makes sense to assume rapid changes in the financial market can cause populism, price controls, tariffs, etc…

Maybe you’re right that the political instability isn’t due to the global financial markets though. I just thought we could be reliving some form of history.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but the article seems to imply the tariffs are malicious, or part of the annexation goal. I’m just saying through an apolitical lens that I’m starting to see the tariffs as a means of raising taxes in the US, and due to the reasons I listed.

The article is extremely emotionally charged.

Well you’re feeding a lot of words into my mouth that I can’t really digest.

Well I just find it ironic that one is spreading hate by saying gender can be fluid and manipulated, which gender being a fluid construct sounds exactly like the far left as well.

Maybe I’m just not smart enough to determine what the difference is.

I kind of think Ubuntu or Fedora with Gnome or KDE will be the best, given the support and development.

How much do they fund of these tens of billions we give to indigenous groups? Income tax in Alberta is 63% higher than average due to higher salaries.

Go ahead and destroy the industry but expect austerity.

Someone else will export their energy and you’ll be displaced.

Making ourselves poor while also having to deal with climate change sounds worse.

I think the real problem with the world right now is aging demographics, which lead to higher interest rates, which threatens the ponzi scheme we have created in finance and housing.

The US is dealing with it using tariffs, Europe is using carbon border adjustments to do the same thing with a green veneer. Carney has said we would be joining Europe in tariffing foreign emitters.

How about he invests in proper forest managery. Its not as if fires are perpetually preventable by just putting them out every time.

How about rezone housing and using the maintenance budget from urban sprawl.

Carney never seemed to care when a Liberal MP told people to kidnap a Canadian citizen for criticizing China when tweeting in Canada.

You’re not solving climate change, China opened 300 coal plants this year. You’re cosplaying as captain planet to the detriment of the poor who will be most affected.

Well respond to his points in the video, I doubt you have any idea about his actual platform or world view.

We did it to build our highways. Do you regret that decision?

We need oil exports due to making up a massive amount of our current account balance that we use to fund our government.

Productivity per worker for oil production is also massive relative to other industries, and Canada already has alarm level productivity according to the BoC.

But this is why we have been second last next to Luxembourg in the 38 countries of the OECD in per capita productivity growth since 2015; Canadians love making ourselves poorer for no reason, and the rich love investing outside of Canada.

The housing bubble is fueled by QE, the BoC buying half of all mortgage bonds, and cheap mortgage debt.

The entire system is already a ponzi scheme. We made cantillionaires out of home owners as we lead to crisis levels in productive investment.

The problem I see is an overall lack of infrastructure. People want cars to have room because with mass immigration and a lack of high speed rail it’s now congested to hell.

Still the only country in the G7 without high speed rail, but we subsidize the rich to replace their 3 year old Lexus with a Tesla cybertruck.

What currency do we trade our oil in, who accepts Canadian dollars?
