You know we can all grumble all we want about Carney but he is in power for at least 2 and probably 3 years. Thats an eternity for him to drive up our debt and deficit which may be enough to hide any weakness in our economy. I mean he seems to be heading towards an absolute orgy of spending..5 percent of GDP for Nato, huge projects across Canada, cutting income tax, removing carbon tax, and on and on. So the new normal will be like in the USA is that 60-80 billion dollar per year deficits..so another 200 billion or more added before we have a chance to kick him out.
But then we will wash rinse and repeat during the next election. What will the next boogeyman be that only the Liberals can save us from?? I mean boomers are in general completely mesmerized by Carney..its going to take an economic depression and huge real estate price drops for them not to vote for him..I think either is apossibility but probably not.
Trump has thrown DOGE to the wind after a few months..so he is back to massive deficits and it seems every western country is realizing thats the only option left before everythiing goes KaBoom. I mean any politician that tries to seriously cut spending now will never get re elected because it will cause an economic depression for years. Politicians are short term and they need to win so gotta keep people happy hence promising more and more goodies but less taxes. And they have gotten away with it for years but we all know one day it will end badly..but when??

Happy belated Canada Day, Trish. I spent yesterday reflecting on all the wonderful things that made me proud to be born 'n raised Canadian. I just watched our town's firework display from the comfort of my deck but, it's just after midnight and i'm back to the sad reality of what Canada has become. ;-(
In the European children's story of Henny Penny (Chicken Little in the USA), tells of a chick who believes that the sky is falling when an acorn falls on its head. The chick decides to tell the king and, on its journey, meets other animals which join it in the quest. It begins: "One day Henny-penny was picking up corn in the rickyard when—whack!—an acorn hit her upon the head. "Goodness gracious me!" said Henny-penny, "the sky's going to fall; I must go and tell the King." Henny Penny goes and tells others (Cocky-locky, Goosey-loosey, Turkey-lurkey...) that the sky is falling.
Fast forward to Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, during the Brexit debate. His prognostications resemble the overwrought Henny Penny. It's curious that PM Carney goes about telling us we are embarking on the biggest economic project since WWII. Telling Canadians that the historic old relationship with the USA "based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation, is over" is peculiar. As of August 2024, Canadian exports to the USA made up over 77 percent of our total exports. (And our top export which comprises of 25% of our total are categorized as oil, fuels & minerals - while our government in Ottawa seems to be against building pipelines for domestic energy security). While imports from the USA stood at 50.75 percent. Canadian exports to the EU last August stood at 4.1%, with exports to the UK at 3.81% and China at 3.79%. Mark Carney's economic leadership in Canada as our new Prime Minister may give Canadians reason to start telling each other "the economy is falling."
I think, Trish, that your analysis that Mark Carney is still angry that voters in the UK opted to exit from the UK is fueling his Canada-EU aspirations is correct. It may mesmerize the 'Elbows Up' crowd. But, it has the potential of wrecking our economy. Mark Carney may want to live in a castle, but his economics add up to nothing more than building castles in the air.
Interesting note, Vicki ! I wrote a comment saying I had more “Canadian Pride” when July 1st was Dominion Day. I accidentally posted it before proofreading and it was full of typos. Without the ability to edit, I simply deleted it. This “faux pride” display of Canadian flags and elbows up bs is laughable. Especially with all the Palestinian, Iranian, and Pride flags that wave in dominance in many streets. The addition of Pride colors to our Maple Leaf was, I believe, illegal as it would be to add anything else. I’m hoping that Carney and his/Trudeau’s sneak of weasels cabinet and caucus do the proverbial thing people do when they’re “given enough rope”. Carney and the Missus are not nor will they ever be Canadian, no matter what their passports may say, nor where they were born. (Yes, I know DF is British and from money). Happy Dominion Day to everyone but Liberal voters and politicians!
Don't know what will wake people up to Canada's massive decline in all areas of our lives. Ideology runs the country, policy, education, medicine- everything. We must "Be Kind" - do not criticize the swelling ranks of criminals, nor the drug deaths, nor the dead-eyed kids, no future to look to now. Carney is a globalist, a gucky, slimy, lizard of a wee man whose blank eyes betray his lack of inner awareness. If his censorship bills go through and everything we say on any site anywhere is recorded, gulp' the end of commentary, disagreement, opinions openly shared, jail.
It's simmering beneath the surface. Something has definitely changed about the mood of Canadians across the country since Trudeau came to power, and it coincides with the increasing economic desperation that many Canadians are experiencing. It's like a palpable anger that hasn't quite reached the tipping point, but watch out when it does.
The sanctimonious, virtue signalling cohort who have given us years of Liberal rule will be loathe to admit an error. Along with a compliant population and a complicit media, I see no tipping point in our immediate future. Trump will be replaced by other convenient scapegoats and the beat goes on. Call me skeptical but it took 10 years for Canadians to tire of Trudeau.
Usually, I would agree with you. However, as Carnage's cabinet of idiots and reheated Trudeau leftovers continues with the same ideological net-zero zealotry (especially the electric vehicle mandate), the economy and Canadians' personal economic situations will inevitably worsen. Add to that, the likely looming default crisis as people's mortgages reset at higher interest rates, and you have a powder keg ready to blow. Gerald Celente once said that when people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they "lose it". When people have finally suffered enough, they will turn on this government very quickly. In hindsight, maybe it was a blessing that Poilievre and the Conservatives didn't win the last election because, now, they can't be blamed when everything hits the fan. And because the Conservatives voted with the Liberals on the Bill to give the government more power to expedite "projects of national interest", when the time comes, the Liberals can't blame "those obstructionist" Conservatives for the Liberals' own failure to deliver on the pipeline to BC.
As I have posted elsewhere in response to one of Trish's podcasts, the Privy Council and RCMP's own reports have warned the government that the conditions are ripe for Canadians to revolt, especially when they realize how poor they are. The elites are well aware that something putrid is coming down the pipe, which is why they are focusing on disarming licensed, vetted, law-abiding firearm owners instead of going after criminals. This is not an issue of public safety, and it never was: It's an issue of THEIR safety. There are over 2.3 million licensed firearm owners in Canada compared to approximately just over 200,000 active police and military personnel. (I have posted links to these sources elsewhere under another one of Trish's podcasts). I have heard plenty through the grapevine that very few people will voluntarily comply with the compensated theft of their firearms without them doing anything to deserve it. If the government really wants to ignite the fuse on the powder keg, all they will have to do is start sending around the State thugs to kick in people's doors, then all bets are off.
Appreciate the thoughts. But when I look around this country (admittedly, Toronto-based), I don't see much of a chance of revolution, peaceful or otherwise. The sheep can't look away from their phones long enough to formulate an independent thought.
But maybe it starts in the hinterlands and sweeps TO and MTL from there.
Happy Canada day Trish! I agree. Exclude Dr Meat from Canada day greetings. He is a foreign agent, a Quisling and does not give a flying f___ about Canada as Canadians perceive it. I am surprised that he has not, as the last monstrosity did, found a reason to fly flags at half mast, though he is a good reason for doing so, if we want to. I would say that his lying, tit-tweaking electoral period insults to the HUGE Southern neighbour have ended rather well. In his complete, cowardly capitulation... but far too late. Trumplestain does not forgive or forget.
I rest my case about this monumental fraud!!!
You know we can all grumble all we want about Carney but he is in power for at least 2 and probably 3 years. Thats an eternity for him to drive up our debt and deficit which may be enough to hide any weakness in our economy.

I mean boomers are in general completely mesmerized by Carney..its going to take an economic depression and huge real estate price drops for them not to vote for him..I think either is apossibility but probably not.
Trump has thrown DOGE to the wind after a few months..so he is back to massive deficits and it seems every western country is realizing thats the only option left before everythiing goes KaBoom. I mean any politician that tries to seriously cut spending now will never get re elected because it will cause an economic depression for years. Politicians are short term and they need to win so gotta keep people happy hence promising more and more goodies but less taxes. And they have gotten away with it for years but we all know one day it will end badly..but when??

Happy Canada Day Trish! We appreciate the work and effort you make. Cheers
Marx Carnage. LOL.
Emperor Carnage is pleased to inform you that his Beijing masters have authorized him to wish everyone a happy ahh... umm... Chinada Day!
Everything that Carney has touched has gone to shit, prove me wrong.
Yeah, he definitely has the reverse Midas touch.
👍
Sevond tier politicians or worse is what many in Canada aver have been voted in for a ling time.
I join you Trish in your Happy Canada Day greetings.
This is by far the best Substack article title ever. 😂

If you think he's angry now, wait until Canadians have finally had enough of him and give him and his party of thieves the boot.
Hi Trish - I hope you do not mind if I attach this post from Candace Malcolm. Most of us need to look back at history. Thanks for your piece today.

Sounds like "Mr. Crisis Management" needs anger management.

If his censorship bills go through and everything we say on any site anywhere is recorded, gulp' the end of commentary, disagreement, opinions openly shared, jail.
There is not near enough anger at the leadership of this country and what they've done to this once proud Dominion.
And they're still doing it. Every day.
