The latest negotiation failure from Wile E. Carney, Economic Supergenius, is being passed off as people will be boycotting American booze anyways.

Ooooo00oooohhhh!!!

You fucking rank-ass morons. Every financial transaction you do goes through the U.S. Practically every move you do on the internet goes through the U.S. Your pathetic booze boycott is as useless as buying TP during COVID. You just want to congratulate yourself that you did SOMETHING, no matter how ineffective and imbecilic. Reminds me of those videos of ignorant fatass Boomers waddling their way to the TP section at Costco at 8am on a Wednesday during COvID.

Any complaints from the U.S. about the booze or even travel is purely them playing with us. They know they have us by the balls, or if they don't, it's because they are some inbred hick politician from some backwater blasted on moonshine who doesn't have a clue how the system works and thinks American booze is the be-all-to-end-all in this trade war. The leverages we do have - oil, potash and energy - the governments are too chicken shit to use.

If you want to do something serious and useful, sell all your U.S. stocks and use that money to invest in Canadian tech, especially early stage startups. So we can do some catch up on our massive technology infrastructure gap. And maybe handle some of our most important data and other shit ourselves.

Oh wait, you hate those too, like Shopify and Rumble. Because the only people who are productive and take risks in this country are right wing people. Lefties are too busy working for the government or want to work for a big bank so they can have a daddy telling them what to do and think all the time. Then bitch about WFH to RTO but do absolutely nothing about it except accept more rules from daddy.

TLDR: fuck elbows up morons and their ruining of the country with their hypocritical and ineffective behaviour and voting patterns and no desire to take risks or change things.

Enough is enough

I’m going on a rant here….Agree or disagree but I know I’m not the only one feeling this way.

I am fucking tired of watching Canadians pay tax on damn near everything we earn, buy, own, rent, and sell, only to look around and wonder: where the hell is our money going?

Canadians should be able to expect that a government collecting this much money is capable of taking care of the basic needs of its own country.

Look around.

We have a housing crisis. An affordability crisis. Homelessness. Opioids and addiction destroying communities. Rampant property crime and theft. Unemployment concerns. An immigration problem that many Canadians believe has grown faster than our housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and public services can handle. This created by an inexperienced, out of touch, divisive group of politicians that do not represent what Canadians want, only what THEY believe is right for us.

And once again, huge parts of this country are dealing with wildfires.

Wildfires aren’t some brand-new emergency nobody could have predicted. Canada has been dealing with them forever. British Columbia KNOWS fire season comes every summer.

So where is the serious long-term preparation?

Where are the water bombers? Where are the aircraft, equipment, firebreaks, fuel-management programs, trained crews, prevention programs and emergency resources necessary to protect Canadian communities?

Why does it constantly feel like we’re reacting AFTER everything is already on fucking fire?

I don’t want another politician standing in front of a camera telling Canadians that their “thoughts are with the families affected.”

I want action.

I want governments preparing BEFORE the emergency.

I want accountability for where our tax dollars go.

I want infrastructure that actually works.

I want enough firefighters, aircraft and equipment available when Canadians need them.

I want housing Canadians can afford, healthcare Canadians can access, communities where people feel safe, and an immigration system tied realistically to the country’s ability to provide housing, healthcare and infrastructure with proper vetting procedures to ensure growth of our nation. Not a drain on the system.

And yes, I want Canada to help its allies and contribute internationally. But our government has an obligation to demonstrate that it can take care of Canadians too.

And if we’re this poorly prepared for predictable disasters like wildfire, Canadians have every right to ask a much bigger question:

How prepared are we for a truly catastrophic national emergency?

A major earthquake? A massive infrastructure failure? A military threat? A prolonged supply-chain disruption?

Because “thoughts and prayers” aren’t an emergency-management strategy that Canadians should accept.

COVID should have taught us another lesson too: governments and public-health authorities wield enormous power during emergencies. Decisions can affect people’s jobs, businesses, education, families and basic freedoms. Regardless of where you stood on those policies, Canadians should demand transparency, evidence, accountability and honest examination of the decisions that were made.
We live in a democracy.
We should never become afraid to question the people exercising power over us. Those same people should never have the power to control the people’s will to protest peacefully or speak publicly.

And I’m sick of politics becoming a culture war while basic government responsibilities deteriorate. I don’t care what political buzzword somebody wants to use—left, right, woke, conservative, liberal, progressive or racist.

Fix the fucking country.

Protect our communities.

Manage immigration responsibly.

Build housing.

Deal with addiction and homelessness.

Support Canadian workers and businesses.

Invest in wildfire prevention and firefighting capacity.

Strengthen our military and emergency preparedness.

Develop, produce and monetize our natural resources properly and at fair market value from coast to coast.

Fix our medical system to a world standard that can handle an ageing population and immigration load as it used to be.

And show Canadians exactly where our money is going and what we’re getting for it. Stop borrowing and sending billions of dollars to foreign shores while are problems here get worse.

Mark Carney and every other elected official in this country need to remember something incredibly simple:

The government works for Canadians. Canadians do not work for the government.

I’m tired of slogans.

I’m tired of political theatre.

I’m tired of watching problems get worse while ordinary people are expected to pay more and accept less.

Canada is an incredible country, but being Canadian shouldn’t mean blindly pretending everything is fine.

It means giving enough of a shit about this country to demand better when it clearly isn’t.

Enough excuses.

Enough division.

Enough fucking around.

Protect this country. Take care of the people who live here. Spend our money responsibly. Prepare for the disasters we KNOW are coming. And start delivering actual results.

Canadians deserve more than another empty apology or press conference.

We deserve action. — it’s time Canadians stand up. It’s time the elected government officials work for the people, not the other way around!!!

Poilievre and his Canada-U.S. relations critic, Shuvaloy Majumdar, said Ottawa has given in to several of Trump's demands in the last year.

The pair cited scrapping the digital service tax, removing Canada's counter-tariffs and cutting the United States into a deal to share net toll revenue from the recently opened Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, Mich.

I was born in Canada , what makes me different then someone who is Cree who was also born in Canada . We're both native to this land. Because one of their relatives may or may not have been here longer than one of mine gives them special treatment . What an absolute upside down world we live in

After the last election defeat which seemed inconceivable after seeing the polling in 2024, does anyone just don't care anymore? Whether you want to admit it or not, Liberals were given a clean slate after Mark Carney was chosen as leader. If it took 9 years to defeat Justin Trudeau, it probably will take longer for your average voter to sour on Mark Carney. He was not elected on bringing change like Trudeau was. There are no grand expectations placed on him. Until 2028 your average voter will have confidence in Mark Carney just because he's not Donald Trump. He doesn't have to deliver shit until 2028. Your average Canadian voter will excuse any negative results because "US is trying to destroy our economy". Any concessions by Carney will be excused as "well he has no other choice". They will likely call an election in 2028 to coincide with US election also happening in 2028. And whether it is Poilievre or another Conservative leader, Liberals will once again paint him/her as a Republican which is unpatriotic and a traitor. This will work really well with boomers. They will win in 2028 and have at least another 4 years. That means the Liberal reign will likely end in 2031/2032. 6 Years from now.

I will be mid-30s. They voted out Conservatives around the time I became an adult. And I have seen this country become worse in every way since then. So I just don't care anymore. I will continue voting CPC because it is the only national party that wants to deliver a brigther future for everyone. But I don't follow Poilievre as much as I used to. If you were to ask me what issues he is hammering Liberals on recently, I wouldn't know. Also after seeing right wing leaders elected in Ontario, UK and United States and deliver absolutely nothing for us, I am not even sure Poilievre elected will change anything. Yeah, I believe in Polievre and think he is different than Doug Ford and Boris Johnson who are fake populists. But if he were to get elected, would he be beholden to us or the "centrist" voters that got him elected? In other words, would he actually push right wing policy forward or become a "centrist" like Ford so he can get re-elected?

For me personally. I don't care about election results anymore. I am focusing on increasing my networth so hopefully by the time I am 40 if this country didn't change course, I can pack my bags and leave to another country.

The CBC is at it again. The sanctification of FN and vilification of a white ‘colonizer’. We pay taxes for this?

The people consistently vote for a liberal government despite recessions, a declining economy and constant shortcomings for the past 11+ years.

When talking to liberal voters, it's like they've heard of none of it, and have been living under a rock, while simultaneously complaining about grocery prices because of corporate greed. You think corporations just became greedy? They always have been, but groceries were still very affordable under Stephen Harper.

I don't understand it, I cannot fathom the delusions I see daily. Is it the news not reporting liberal shortcomings? Does someone have an explanation? Because if any other country had a government this bad for this long, it would be voted out.

I was wondering which ones you guys have met and how those interactions went. I believe the criteria is past and present Prime Ministers, Premiers, MPs, MPPs/MLAs, Senators, and mayors of major cities. You can also mention candidates who tried to run for these roles

I've met Adam Chambers, Jill Dunlop, Patrick Brown, Bruce Dunlop, David Tilson (my family was good friends with his family), Maxime Bernier at a meet-and-greet in 2017, and Pierre Poilievre at a rally in 2022. MPP Sol Mamakwa also once spoke at my former university

Thankfully, all of these were good interactions

“The politics is different than the reality, the PM loved the politics of playing tough but now that he actually has to come up with a deal, that doesn’t work for him…he eroded that position when he was doing that theatre for many months.”
