Everyone makes good and bad decisions, including your mom.

Let’s not pretend we didn’t call it during his first election. Then he proved us right. We elected him again so it became his democratic mandate.

Vote for Biff Tannen, get his corrupt distopia.

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.

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.

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 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.

Reposting from same post on world news:

The Globe and Mail actively fights against Canada’s and Canadians interests by distorting stories to suit conservative attack dog communications strategies.

It is owned by Woodbridge a holding company led by the Thompsons a Canadian aristocratic family (hereditary peer Baron of Fleet) and literally the voice of billionaires. Additional holdings include Thompson Reuters who is also in the news recently for enabling Palantir and ICE execute a fascist takeover in the states.

Various members are on record donating to the Conservative Party as well as funding partisan think tanks like the Fraser Institute.

In addition, this is a clear attempt to sabotage Carney’s realpolitik attempts to diversify away from the US, including growing trade with China, by forcing domestic politics to virtue signal like Trudeau as a wedge with China. I.e. Force Carney to insult China publicly, to refreeze relations.

This line of action serves US interests in an attempt to subjugate and annex Canada. Thinly veiled treason.

Let’s be honest here. None of this is journalism that speaks truth to power. This is conservative owned and backed media playing up nothingburgers to stink-palm the Liberals according to conservative communications strategies. Just like the Carney quip to the grassy narrows protestor.

Its derision politics. Our media landscape blows.

Rob Ford was 1000 times less harmful to his constituents than Doug is. Let that sink in.

Unclear. Yeah.

Whatever causes ASPD.

He didn’t. We do. All the time.

They understand everything well. They are hardwired to value this over the alternatives.

Maybe the real treasure were the assholes we’ve been the whole time?
