That’s exactly this. They used covid manufacturing stoppages and shipping bottlenecks as excuse. Now they will do this again.
Let them get very serious about separation. and its consequences. Only when they face it will they realize what they’ll have. Or not have. I can tell you one thing - once they have their own currency, it will appreciate. It’ll make oil production costs more expensive, make their oil and gas less profitable. Further, their currency becomes directly pegged to the oil price, with little to no stability which makes doing business and trade-dependent economy like theirs and ours more difficult and costly. They will ask to continue to use Canadian dollar and we should absolutely refuse it - they want the benefits without the costs.
Equalization payments are there for economic imbalances. Look at EU. Once Germany joined EU and uses Euro, it is like a currency depreciation making their goods more cost effective in the world market. Thus Germany enjoys a huge trade surplus. It’s not a coincidence Germany has had huge trade surpluses since they went to a common currency. This surplus would shrink if they went back to their own currency, as the Mark will appreciate due to the trade surplus vs other currencies making their goods less competitive in global market.
This is Trump messing with our food.
The day started with Trump warmly welcoming Carney to the Oval Office, saying there were some “tough points” to discuss while also praising the former central banker as “a very talented, very good person” who deserved to win the recent federal election. Trump praised Carney’s election victory
I think Carney’s charmed Trump. Well done.
Thank you. That is nuts. Is it a conservative government ruling Denmark?
Toronto has a much bigger GDP than Alberta.
are you serious? post an article!
I don’t believe he’s stating this to “appease” his cult. This is an extension of his ego, the same way he admires Putin. He wants to be known as the president who expanded the US.
We need to be looking for alternatives to the US when it comes to defense equipment and developing some local manufacturing capacity as well.
Trump’s auto tariff relief isn’t much of a relief. This crap is still very much damaging to the Canadian auto manufacturing ecosystem.
Huge sigh of relief
He implied PP, but he’s talking about himself.
I just have no patience to listen to “what if” the whole night.
If enough people saw Trump’s rant this morning, Carney and Libs get a majority. If they didn’t, it could be tight.
While the article stated that the statement was FALSE, It’s actually NOT FALSE.
There was no housing minister in Harper’s cabinet at the time. Many housing issues got rolled into Poilievre’s domain under the title of social development. The six houses number stems from non-profit housing built by the government in the 2015-16 fiscal year, when Poiliever had the file. Under Harper, Canada had less social housing per capita than many other countries.
Housing was under PP’s portfolio, and PP made it very small.
I wonder if they can catch people on their way back at the border. I can see a whole bunch of retirees unaware of this and the border immigrations says you didn’t register so off to jail.
Snowbirds better hurry home! lol
That’s the kind of votes he wants!
But, there are also indications that the doctors also don’t want the competition, and lobby the government to limit the number of residency spots it pays for, and by doing that, limits the number of doctors.
It’s this. It’s been the tactic of medical associations in different countries (e.g. US, etc) to work to administratively or legally limit the residency and make it difficult for foreign doctors to practice here to keep their salaries up.
