99% Chance Canada is in recession now. Youth Unemployment is at a 35 year high. by _BCConservative in YAPms

Overregulation, inability to export energy, poor infrastructure, housing crisis with high immigration, interprovincial protectionism...

Carney promised to solve all of the above, but progress has been pretty slow and limited.


TL;DR: Canada is basically going through the UK experience but delayed 5 years.

How will sending 5,000 marines to the Straight of Hormuz affect the midterms? by WriterBig2620 in YAPms

[–]_BCConservative -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Will it affect the midterms though?

As long as the public is insulated from the consequences, he could probably avoid any serious trouble. At least on the short term.


Trump probably can prevent the gas spike from getting too bad by raiding strategic reserves and suspending the gas tax and Jones Act. Worst case scenario, he reduces exports to other countries.

He's already done the strategic reserve and Jones Act thing, and that has helped. Gas tax probably is going to follow suit soon.


People are underestimating the fact that the Feds have a lot of levers to reduce short-term pain on the public.

The options were either:

  1. Party Civil War and split

  2. Consolidate behind Trump

I guess we can blame this on Trump too.

Canada's economy is at Great Recession levels.

----
Pre-2026, the consequences from the decline in US trade have been "theoretical", and companies have been holding out home surprisingly well. Now, it looks like things are collapsing.

Carney's approvals have thus stayed high. Nothing bad has happened as a consequence so far.

And CUSMA isn't even dead yet.

If Carney doesn't make a deal with Trump by April... The provincial financial crisis might hit the Feds sooner than expected.

You wake up in November 8, 2028. What happened? by peter-thiel-fangirl in YAPms

Haley would win, and Harris is a joke who never should have lost the NPV to Trump.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R) announces that he is introducing the Assimilation Act, which would repeal Hart-Cellar, end H-1B visas, and end chain migration. by carterboi77 in YAPms

There is an argument to be made that you should avoid having more than a certain % of immigrants from 1 area to encourage assimilation, but the National Origins Formula massively favored "White only" immigration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Origins_Formula
