He didn't even give a statement amount it? The economist has nothing to say about the critical state of our economy?

I think he needs to fly to Europe a few more times.

That will fix things.

Plus ordering ultra expensive food while on those flights will help remind us lowly plebs that we should accept the sacrifices he's made to get us here /s

Let's be reminded that Carney also said, in April of this year, that 'affordability has been the best its been in over a decade'. I guess those people now needing to rely on the Food Bank should just cancel their Disney+ memberships

Seriously. Cut out the billions spent on "consultants" while we're at it.

You'd definitely get fully OrzBlue'd and bred'd and someone with talentz would ensure it's permanent. From an anonymous mod mail account, of course.

Per Se!

Don’t worry, guys, he’ll sign an MOU and release a few videos of him walking around a construction site.

As if the aristocrats we call politicians care in the least. The bread is getting stale, the circus is boring and tedious, and they won't care until it affects them personally.

Why did Doug ford do this??

u/MZM204 5h ago

No bro, it was Stephen Harper, he set all this up. And Pierre Pollievre somehow did it too, despite not having any power. He got in the way!!!

It depends, if the recession is from firing government employees and foreigners leaving it's a win.

u/JohnDorian0506 9h ago

That means that our last ten years’ pathetic growth was propped by imported foreign labour and an expanding number of public servants .

u/MinuteCampaign7843 6h ago

Nailed it. It’s all artificial BS

u/GoodResident2000 Alberta 9h ago

Eh it’s ok. We swapped one person leading the whole circus, so everything has changed

u/SirBobPeel 6h ago

And borrowed money.

u/ImABadSpellerOkay 8h ago

Foreigners barely even left, if this little amount of foreigners leaving caused a recession then we are FUCKED. No W’s to be found.

u/SirBobPeel 6h ago

Foreigners aren't leaving, and they've hardly fired anyone. A lot of public servants have taken early retirement with no penalty to their pensions. I've seen no major programs curtailed or cut, though.

And remember, this deficit is WITH a tens of billions of borrowed dollars injected into the economy.
