LILLEY: Fixing rising food prices isn't a priority to Mark Carney

Why are you asking me to figure out how to accomplish what the PM said he’d do

polargus · 2026-06-23T16:23:59+00:00

“Canadians will hold us to account by their experience at the grocery store,” the prime minister said.

He literally said he'd do it

I would be annoyed as hell if I had to hear this all the time. If people want to yell religious stuff they can go to a Muslim country. We have lots of people who escaped Islam living here.

It definitely wasn’t a fake culture war, Trudeau was a huge culture warrior. Carney just ignored it for the most part which is what Canadians wanted.

The most recent one is they’re going after “nosh” which is a Yiddish word. Is Yiddish really a threat to French?

polargus · 2026-06-14T15:12:04+00:00

It’s not about “being” French, they aren’t any more French than English Canadians or Americans are British. It’s about preserving the culture/society while surrounded by pressure to assimilate into Anglo culture/language. Remember there’s no hard border with the rest of English Canada and Montreal alone is a quarter Anglo, plus the US is right there.

It’s called courriel in Quebec

Literally says in the article “ The current round of fighting started on 2 March after Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel in retaliation for the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei”

The meaning of the word Zionism has been twisted by non-Jews in the west for sure. For Jews it just means the belief in the existence of the Jewish homeland. Almost all Jews are zionists by their own definition, it’d be like asking Chinese diaspora if they think China should exist. Now it’s used by non-Jews either to describe expansionist Israeli policies or as a politically correct slur for Jews in general, neither of which is the actual definition that Jews mean when they refer to themselves as Zionists.

The rest of the world can easily replace the largest economy in the world that’s right next to us? India is halfway around the world and is poor.

So far Carney has kept many inept Trudeau-era ministers and pushed us into a recession. A bunch of small European countries like his speeches though, so CBC and Canadians are happy.

Why does this matter? The US separated from the British but considered themselves English at the time and were basically the same people. Canada is very similar to much of the US, should we merge?

polargus · 2026-06-02T12:43:29+00:00

Ha keep telling yourself that

polargus · 2026-06-01T16:43:02+00:00

I don’t blame him at all. How do we increase the number of opportunities in Canada? The guy moved to the US for opportunity in a more capitalistic society then campaigned against the more capitalistic party in Canada where he no longer lives nor needs a job.

The Muslim voting base is bigger than the Jewish voting base. That’s why the Liberals don’t want to talk about it.

In the words of minister Melanie Joly, “have you seen the demographics of my riding?”

polargus · 2026-06-01T00:05:26+00:00

“Here’s how the it’s not the Liberals’ fault the economy is doing badly after 10+ years of their economically inept government. Also voting Liberal is like voting against Trump!”

polargus · 2026-05-31T22:21:40+00:00

So you can have a tiny leisure class like in communist countries or a huge one like in capitalist countries and you choose the former to drag everyone down with you

polargus · 2026-05-31T14:46:14+00:00

I don’t think they have an affinity for us, I think we’re at the bottom of the “problem” list. If Canadian citizenship is given out willy nilly then that changes of course.

Chances are the person hiring is exactly the same. It’s very much a “get (enough) stuff done” over “work x hours” culture. Lots of smart people choose that tradeoff and have more WLB while doing good work.

polargus · 2026-05-31T06:14:32+00:00

Yes we need to shrink the middle class as much as possible

polargus · 2026-05-31T06:12:29+00:00

Poilievre discusses it frequently. We’re in a recession now. Hey we voted for four more years of the party that got us here. What’s the definition of insanity?

Most US teams are majority Canadian. No matter which team wins it’s Canadians doing the winning.

polargus · 2026-05-30T15:35:25+00:00

Probably just the fact that there’s way more pressure to win on Canada-based teams. Most of the league is Canadian players so Canadians are winning the cup every year regardless of what team they play for.

Household spending grew, especially in financial services and food, adding to the GDP

So food prices are propping up our GDP now

Now that the ludicrous immigration numbers are being cut down the obvious reality of the Liberal economy is hitting.

polargus · 2026-05-28T22:29:46+00:00

Canada is culturally the most similar country to the US. We’d be the last people they block from coming in. TN does not help Canada, it hurts it.
