This seems impossible considering we have the greatest economist and central banker the world has ever known as our Supreme Leader.
Must be far right fake news.

Youd be amazed how many Canadians I see who actually believed in #ElbowsUp.
And not just in a "Were gonna hold our own and stand strong" kind of way, but in a "We're STRONGER and we will DESTROY the US and Trump!" kind of way
Like complete delusion. These are the people who followed arrows at the supermarket and wrote walls of text throwing a fit on Facebook if you didn't because you forgot peanut butter in aisle 6 real quick

Unfortunately, I doubt I'd be even a little bit shocked. I mostly work with Americans who are cut from exactly the same cloth.
Just yesterday I heard them freaking out about RFK cutting the funding for mRNA vaccine research. They still think those things are necessary for Covid!

The US pays more for its imports at the end of the day Trump is a protectionist bully and is implicitly admitting that the US economy is uncompetitive.
Canada will be forced to turn to China.

Carney is another banker elected to power due to the wests obsession with financialisation and worship of its agents.
He is no less a gangster and symptom of the wests disease than Trump is.
