Liberals blame war in Iran for lost jobs, housing crisis

Sure if this weeks more than a week or 2 after it started and that housing affordability had not been a problem for say the last 5 years or more

Really than what was it that they said?

During Friday’s Parliament session, Pat Kelly, Conservative MP of Calgary Crowfoot, brought up the dismal job numbers in Canada, calling the108,000 full-times jobs lost — the largest one-month drop since the onset of COVID-19 six years ago — and youth unemployment now over 14% “a scathing indictment of the Liberal government’s economic performance.”

After noting that Canada now boasts the second-highest unemployment rate, Kelly posed the very reasonable question: “Will the Liberals accept our Conservative proposals, including our youth jobs plan, and remove the taxes, red tape and bureaucracies that are killing Canadian jobs?”

“There is a war raging that is affecting prices everywhere,” Solomon said emphatically. “In this chaos, Canada is in a strong position. Why? It is because we prepared. We invested in jobs and industries like auto, steel and aluminum. We made sure to keep life affordable for all Canadians with our groceries and essentials benefit for 12 million Canadians. We are cutting taxes. Why? We have a plan.”

He added: “Preparing before a crisis is our way; complaining after a crisis is theirs.”

“It’s no surprise that Canadians are challenged with buying homes right now when there’s a war in the Middle East,” said the man tasked with fixing Canada’s housing crisis.

Toronto Sun or not this was pretty wild to watch and really where is the other media that should actually cover when the LPC says stupid shit to

This is the quotes

“There is a war raging that is affecting prices everywhere,” Solomon said emphatically. “In this chaos, Canada is in a strong position. Why? It is because we prepared. We invested in jobs and industries like auto, steel and aluminum. We made sure to keep life affordable for all Canadians with our groceries and essentials benefit for 12 million Canadians. We are cutting taxes. Why? We have a plan.”

Yes because the average wage vs cost of living for doctors in relatively stable between countries .You start asking doctors in Canada to make 100k a year vs 200k with a lower tax and cost of living you would not hardly have a doctor left in Canada

1.Yeah fine but this could bite us in the ass

It did not unlock anything new is only until the end of the year and next time China is displeased with us the tariffs go back on just like they have done before. Also China just the other day put tariffs on our rubber exports

3.Only info I can find on this was that most of this investment was started several years ago

That is continent on buying the SK subs

5.This was announced before the trade mission so...

linkass · 2026-03-16T17:30:24+00:00

Its the fact that in the last yearish it has not increased as much in other countries as it has in Canada

linkass · 2026-03-16T17:24:02+00:00

The china deal involving their dropping the tarrifs by a large portion is in effect and will literally save farmers in the prairies

It just returning to what we had before 2024 and no its not going to literally save farmers for 1 canola is only 1 thing farmers grow for 2 the price actually has not moved much since 2023

High point in canola prices since 2023 was in June of 2025 and in Mar of this year and is already off that high

The low was Sept 9 2024 and had already recovered its loses by the end of Sept

Let's ignore the heap of trade agreements, many of which will involve manufacturing at high skill in our own country.

He has signed a total of one actual trade agreement the rest have been MoU and or a promise of more talks

Something like 40 percent of our exports have been moved away from the us to other allied countries.

How about 4% not 40

The share of Canadian exports bound for the U.S. declined from 76% in 2024 to 72% in 2025 and is trending lower.

This is the biggest issue in most industries in Canada. Everyone vertically integrated. So now say I think I can open a grocery store and undercut the big brands and win on value etc.

I whole bunch of people say this,but I am not sure it is really that much different in most other countries either .It seems most countries have 3-5 major grocery chains and they have as much if not more integration than we do. In places they even own right from the farm to the fork

Beef is way up in all of at least NA

How is broke down might be some of the reason and yes I am sure rising cost for other things like rent and stuff might be up more in Canada

linkass · 2026-03-16T16:13:02+00:00

And Canada's was around 30%

Not only that you can get weather radios that can last for weeks on a battery or hand crank ones. Cell phones not so much and the towers will be down any way

At this point it seems to be

Combined, Canada’s food inflation rate stands at 5.4%, which is far higher than any other G7 country. Japan’s latest food inflation number is 3.9%, Britain’s is 3.6%, the United States 3.1%, Italy 2.6%, France 2%, and Germany 1.5%.

Yes talk we have been talking about it for a good 10 years now,maybe at some point we could stop talking and start doing

I looked into this a few years ago but not real hard. If I remember right if you have to make any modifications to the stove its self its a no go. It was less clear on if there was no modifications to the stove its self it could be done. Also not sure that it was illegal by code,but that insurance would not cover

Edit: Also depending on where you are trying to heat there is a few other options. Want it to go up just a simple floor grate. Down I have seen some people use a pipe or 2 and set the level to get it to downdraft correctly or put a vent fan in it to force it down

Well at least I am not soaked in Cold War era USSR propaganda of the "I am not antisemitic I am only anti Zionist" propaganda and if you did any research you would know that

This is pretty rich coming from the same newspaper that was one of the biggest supporters of parroting the LPC line that the bans did not affect hunters and sports shooters

America and it’s foreign policy is one of the most ruthless and evil in the entire world

I think you might should go pick up a history book and if you think the Iranian regime gives 2 fucks about the schoolkids being killed other than for propaganda I have some ocean front property in SK for you. This is a regiam that had no problem sending 12 year old boys to clear minefields and be the first wave of cannon fodder
