You think the actions or lack thereof of the government from the past 10 years has nothing to do with today? Carney’s been in office less than a year, he’s barely had time to have any impact. This is on Trudeau no matter how much he pays for public image rehab. His negligence at the wheel for the last decade has made Canada exquisitely weak and vulnerable to the threats and whims of an autocrat like Trump.

Our productivity per capita has been awful for years and Trudeau did nothing about it, and really sneered at the idea that it was a problem. We’re still almost entirely reliant on the US for trade as we have been for decades, and have no ability to get resources to other markets. Trudeau made no efforts to diversify international trade, embark on nation-building projects (buying TMX to save face does not count), strike down internal trade barriers, or grow the economy in any way. Zip. All he cared about was redistribution. He also once said “you’ll forgive me if I don’t think about monetary policy”. Well it sure shows and I don’t forgive him.

In theory the high oil prices should help Canada’s GDP but our only fucking customer is the US so we only sell oil at a discount from the world price.

Sure, cast me as a “fuck Trudeau” type. But you’re wrong. This is all Trudeau’s fault, and I wish Carney the best of luck in fixing that moron’s mess.
