    Sure, just announce we are doubling exports. Anyone else noticing how Carney says stuff without any real detail on how he plans to do it? The CDN government has thousands of people for decades trying to increase exports abroad. We have little manufacturing left to export, so we’re turned into a mining based economy.

    I’m pretty tired of politicians selling old ideas as new. We need some innovation.

    I’m unsure why you have so many downvotes. You have some fair points here. It’s not just Carney (remember too, it’s been like what just a few months now?), it’s all of them. Our governments of the past 20 years, that’s Liberals and Conservatives have let us down on the innovation front, and now we are desperately trying to tread water to catch up when faced with challenges like we are today. That’s all of their faults. I, too, am getting tired of politicians selling old ideas as new, and I, too, agree that we need to be developing new fields of innovation that are homegrown. We sure as shit have all the resources we would ever need.

      Ukrainian diaspora has a one sided political criteria, even if they are descendants of nazi war criminals fleeing prosecution for their war crimes

      You know there were Ukrainians in Canada long before WWII right? Or were they communist then ? 🙄

      There was a large anti-communist wave, ideologically aligned with ww2 nazis and the recent US sponsored resurgence, and puppet governments. Nazi ideology is/was first and foremost an anti-Communist ideology. US and its colonies have pursued geopolitical nazi ideology even prior to ww2. Last week, on same day, 2 oil refineries with Russian connections in Hungary and Romania were destroyed. Like Nordstream, either its NATO or the substantial Ukrainian refugee populations forcing the continued extermination of Ukrainians, and Russophobia inspired austerity/self-destruction on the NATO colonies. The quiet media on the subject is failure to detract from geopolitical nazi support.

      The anti-immigration/replacement theory movement views immigrants and their future babies an act of war against naziism because future nazi rightful rulership will want to genocide them and war-murder their home countries, and they might vote against that. “Immigrant compatible values” rewards those who will commit terrorist acts in favour of nazi warmongering rule.

      Canada can’t survive as an ideological nazi colony, where it’s master is openly subjugating it, as it has always diminished its anti-nazi targets. Enforcing zionist/nazi supremacy in immigration policy is just a small part of the complete corruption of democracy, but the fuller corruption is the ideological programming aligned with US evil.

        Who didn’t know that the US was the Mecca of bigotry, racism, homophobia, and corporate greed? Seriously, I can’t be the only person who saw this coming as soon as Trump’s name went on the ballot in 2016.

        I knew this in the 80s when I met one of their racist children while camping. That country was forged on exploitative practices and it’s never recanted or changed, just wallpapered over its flaws and failures with increasingly intricate excuses.

        We are finally seeing the effects of the rot below the veneer.

          I know exactly what it is and how it works. Go watch the Committee meetings that have been going on about Carney’s Conflict of Interests all ~104 of them. Remember during the election when he was asked about his conflicts and he said “What possible conflicts?” LOL https://youtube.com/shorts/P8uH7_gef4A

          No, you don’t know how it works.

          “The trustor does not know what investments are held or how they are managed. This separation helps ensure that the trustor’s decisions in their professional role remain unbiased.”

          They don’t know how they are managed so they can’t influence them.

          And that YT video is nothing but Carney saying he is following the rules. How does that prove anything? Don’t be a Conservative stooge and use your brain.

            Are you familiar with Moose on the lose on X and youtube? He has put a lot of work into tracking Mark Carney’s investments and you can have a look at the data here https://x.com/dsimieritsch/status/1968058733449375822

              Or, as was originally planned, Negotiate a global minimum tax with the EU and other major markets. Then better yet, remove DRM anti-circumvention legislation. That way Canadian companies can openly jailbreak our phones and offer alternative app stores on the devices we own -with no American middleman taking a third of the money we spend.

                He signed a big trade and defense pact with indonesia and a bilateral trade agreement with mexico, partially cutting the us out of north american trade. he’s only been pm for, like, 8 months.

                Not only has he signed multiple trade agreements, but the trade data is showing a solid shift way from the US to other countries already -despite the fact that most industry works on contracts that are longer than 8 months. The fact that it’s already moving is impressive. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/2025/canada-international-trade/

                  anyone can install f-droid. also jailbreaking isn’t up to Canadian companies, its up to the device manufacture allowing it and providing warranty for it (which they wont). If you want a phone like that, your best bet is buying a linux phone that is open out of the box, but no companies are canadian that produce it.

                    Yes, yes I do and I have been following the committee meetings about his COI and his screen What about the purchase of 26 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems? A “Carney conflict” refers to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s potential conflicts of interest related to his past financial holdings with the investment firm Brookfield, which includes investments in defense companies like Lockheed Martin. This was brought into focus with the Canadian government’s recent plans to purchase missile launcher systems from the U.S… You were saying something…

                                This is the only way to hurt Trump. Financially. It’s all a grifter knows. I wish ALL countries would blacklist America.

                                His reign won’t be stopped with arms and violence. It’ll be stopped by boycotts. And we’re now barreling towards a national labor strike. All we need is just to be pushed into the “nothing left to lose” category…

                                  No, you still don’t because having stock in Brookfield is something many people do, like Pierre Polievre. You’re making something from nothing and it’s funny because it just shows how little you know. If Pierre was Prime Minister, you wouldn’t care about him owning several houses and profiting by making policy that benefits him. You Conservatives are just bigly mad because the Liberals have someone well versed in finance and your leader is a career politician that has no policy and always resorts to name calling. Big please, keep telling us what a fiscal master you are.

                                      as long as its not relying on russia down the line, which is what they want to have the US weakened, by extension the rest of the western countries become disarrayed.

                                          Do you think we can go without trading with the US? They can go without us but we cannot go without them it is just not feasible

                                          I imagine that Russia was Ukraine’s biggest trading partner before 2012. Reducing trade with Russia probably didn’t seem feasible to some ukrainians before the war started.

                                          The newly authoritarian US is threatening our country. What choice do we have but to reduce trade with them? I know Canada will be much poorer now that we have been betrayed by our former ally, but i would rather be poor than under that shithead’s boot.
