Real GDP shrank by 0.05% from March 2025 (Carney's election) through Q1 2026, marking the worst debut of any Canadian leader in six decades.
However, a recent Nanos poll reveals 60% of Canadians rate Carney's economic stewardship as good or very good.
I for one say Supreme Leader Carney is doing a great and masterful job. Can you imagine how bad things would be for Canada due to Orange Man's economic tyranny? We just need to ride things out under the steady and capable hand of Supreme Leader Carney until 2028 when a President that understands what friendship means is elected. Hopefully we don't all starve between now and then but if we do let it be known for all of history it was not our fault, it was Trumps fault.
What's a Canada?
A frozen land with 40M people that for some reason sucks at almost all winter sports.
What were the golds even in? Not men's hockey.
Cool sports like curling.
That is a pretty cool sport
Much cooler than that weird soccer sport you Americans seem so obsessed with lately.
You must have us confused with someone else. I've never heard of this socker or saucer or whatever that is.
Hahaha burn
All I heard was "sucks"
Oooh-kaaay
😂
Not enough pain felt with common Canadians?
Oh they are feeling the pain but they are all brainwashed to think it is Trump's fault and would be worse if the central banker wasn't in charge. This is what happens when you have state funded media.
Well, let's be honest: if the previous guy was still in charge then it would probably be worse. So you gotta look on the bright side here. ~lol
That's not saying much but probably true.
"... but the people are retarded." On full display.
I had a gathering with a couple of my friends last night and I was telling them how we should be rich as fuck as a nation because of the recent oil price surge. But through stupidity in government policies, we as Canadians are just fucked, economically, socially, and any other way. I guess this will only speed up the collapse and bring us the much needed rest? This is a good thing, right?
How did your friends respond?
They pretty much agreed to what I said, and went on to wonder why we do not refine our own crude, but sells them out for cheap, then goes on to import refined products at much elevated prices.
I told them our refineries built ages ago were not built to be able to process the thick shale crude produced from the Alberta oil sands. "Then why not build our own refineries to process our own crude?" And we went into the flip flopping of government policies, how a newly elected government can change/put on hold/cancel previously approved permits, construction projects, long term investment projects, etc. on a whim, in the name of saving the environment. A new refinery is a capital intensive, long long term investment that no sane investor will commit to a nation with this kind of unpredictable political climate.
Then we went on to discuss how Canada is a democratic communism. How it's tyranny of the majority. How the unproductive are voting to take from the productive through force enforced by the government. How the system is incentivising more people to be lazy, to take from the productive ones; and driving away prodctive people. So yea, in summary, we're fucked.
One of my biggest frustrations is how much influence public sector unions have in elections. Any entity that gets the majority of its financing from the government should not be able to donate to any politician, party or advertise in support of any politician or party. If they want to get together with all their members and tell them who to vote for that’s their business but they shouldn’t be able to run attack ads 24/7 slandering the parties they don’t think will give them the most money.
I share your frustration. Never a fan of unions.
It's a sad fall from the great nation that brought us Terrance and Phillip.
