Nothing that corrupt was meant to last.

Disagree, but only in a matter of degree. I’m not saying carney isn’t blameworthy. I’m saying its the same blame as Canadian institutional foreign policy since the revolution.

Where to begin? Carney. Carney Carney carney. Is partial truth. Whole truth is Canada has has a hard hate-on for Iran since the CIA blowback that led to revolution. For no real reason than Anglo-American oil interests wanted a good hate for Iran for fucking up their plans. Was never really our business, nor in our interests. All governments since, both conservative and liberal have continued this hostile stance toward them. Why single out Carney? He is in a long list here, and our position under Carney didn’t change one bit.

Canada can and has made arguments about Iran’s opressive government, hostile treatment of its peoples, human rights violations and that too is a partial truth. We’re happy to look the other way elsewhere. Why is Saudi Arabia and ally and gets a pass when Iran gets a hate? If we really cared about human rights and democracy, SA and many others wouldn’t get such an easy diplomatic pass. SA lets in Anglo American oil companies and buys arms. Iran doesn’t. We don’t say this because the Canadian public prefers the half truths and the plausable sounding lies.

“Cheering”: He did speak of Canada support for US/ Israeli actions against the regime, not the war on its people, or the economic disruptions caused by US/Israeli shitting the bed. Another half truth. He calibrated that his support is " not a blank cheque" and does not support the war and won’t participate directly. That’s not cheering.

Just raise tarrifs on American goods and services! Poof! Money and deintegration asap.

Nothing more American than killing Americans.

In short, Dutch disease. The period of parity and beyond was oil driven, but also because Canadian non-energy economy was also humming, while the US was stumbling domestically.

Today, high oil prices exist, but we don’t have the export infra to fetch top dollar. (Not the US anyways). Plus our non-energy economy is taking a Trump tarrif induced shitkicking.

You are smart. I believe you can figure it out for yourself.

I am lazy and don’t want to rehash a bunch of sourced technical data with reasoned analysis and further explanations just to be dismissed with more bullshit.

I will give you one for free from memory. The decline in the Canadian Dollar from 1:1 to today. That start date was clearly cherry picked because a wider lens will show the historical norm for the Canadian to USD is around 70-something cents. Frequently moving in a band from mid 60s to low 80s. Feel free to look up 1950 to 2025.

If you want the data to fit your narrative of decline, that’s what you do. It pretends to be data driven analysis, but it drips of bullshit propaganda.

Partial truths. That’s some serious tinting on your glasses.

It might be because they didn’t let him grab them by the pussy. Kash probably did.

Impressive Cherry picking and selective framing. Bullshittery of the highest order from a 3 day old account.

This is an urgent matter of national security. Call Ann Murray, Rush, The Montreal Canadians, Rick Mercer and anyone still alive from SCTV to form an investigation squad. Mark Carney needs to invoke the notwithstanding clause to strip the perpetrators of their constitutional right to a fair trial and we’ll jump straight to summary execution.

Then we’ll apologize to Canadians and celebrate reconciliation with a pancake breakfast at a sugar shack.

I hear what you’re saying, but have you considered state violence? Quoting legal requirements at this stage seems quaint.

Aware is too strong a term.

Think is too strong a term here.

Before I answer that, look at everything in your posessions and confirm you have nothing made in China. You practice what you preach right? You’re not comitting hypocrisy right? Right?

No one wants close ties with China. “Calibrated trade” is a wise move to diversify away from greater threats. It is also a small part in building resilient supply chains the removes existing strategic dependence on China.

No, sorry, I got the spelling wrong. It slobluntu. My mistake. A portmanteau of slobbery blunt to you.

Too soon. :(

Maybe this is to reduce trade with a country that is threatening us (US), and actively supporting genocide (Israel) and is building concentration camps and abandoning democracy and causing wars of agression etc…

Try pragmatism before your purity tests make us the 51st.

Thats when the person to your right hands you a slobbery spliff during puff-puff-pass.

I don’t especially like Carney, but you lose all credibility with:

Carney is just a really shitty person who has no idea what he’s doing actually running a country.

He is literally and figuratively one of the most qualified people on the planet for the job. He quickly laid out a coherent plan that is not only right for Canada and generally approved by Canadians, but a bold, and soberingly accurate assessment for our friends and allies around the world.

I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

I rarely downvote just for disagreeing, but this stinks of bad faith.
