Lets look at the Facts why is Canada in Last Place. Trudeau is the Problem!

Wow you really have it tough Sask. You have already paid this years and next years US holidays! You thrill us with you multiple combine purchase stories all the while complaining how our dollar is dropping. You blame this government for the drop in the dollar yet it is within 0.02 cents of where it was in 2015 before Trudeau (0.782 - 2015, 0.768 - 2017). You cry about input costs going up yet do not acknowledge, on exchange rate alone, our commodity prices also go up. You are making generalized statements about how bad Canada is and lay it all at the feet of Trudeau. Well I call BS. Here is just a few surveys of how other see us:

USA today Mar 2017 ranks Canada the second best country in the world to live in: [URL="https://www.today.com/money/2017-best-countries-world-switzerland-tops-us-news-world-report-t108890"]https://www.today.com/money/2017-best-countries-world-switzerland-tops-us-news-world-report-t108890[/URL]
Business Insider in 2017 reported on UN rankings of best countries to live in and Canada made the top 10 list out of 200 countries [URL="http://www.businessinsider.com/best-countries-to-live-in-2017-3/#11-the-united-states-the-us-ranks-high-in-financial-wealth-americans-earn-an-average-of-53245-per-year-1"]http://www.businessinsider.com/best-countries-to-live-in-2017-3/#11-the-united-states-the-us-ranks-high-in-financial-wealth-americans-earn-an-average-of-53245-per-year-1[/URL]
UK's Telegraph places Canada in 7th place when rated for "happy countries" [URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/galleries/worlds-happiest-countries/"]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/galleries/worlds-happiest-countries/[/URL]

You ask how Trudeau can be so stupid. The question you should be asking is why was a person this stupid, elected. Apparently the answer is the majority of people found him more qualified to be PM than the leaders of the other parties. Doesn't say much for the other leaders does it! Instead of blaming Trudeau, maybe it is time to look in the mirror.

Thank u SF3. Go buy some equipment. U will shit your pants. Way out of hand. Criminal in fact. We need 20 canola to pay for that shit. Dealers just say take it over a longer period. Who the **** are we working for. We shud be alot closer in value than 20 cents. But a dummy like Trudope wouldnt have a clue or care.

Klaluse: Interesting choice of products to compare to GDP. Why not wheat or canola? And have done the exercise you want me to do for all other countries or even the G7 nations? If not, how can you say we are worse off than other countries without doing a comparative analysis?

Instead consider the following from Kevin Milligan, University of British Columbia


"Government’s share of GDP has shrunk"

“Questions about the ultimate size and role of government lingered in the background in 2015 policy debates ranging from pensions to childcare to infrastructure. The answer will depend on one’s views on the competence and efficiency of government actions over different kinds of economic activity. But the debate should be informed by fact—and the fact is that government’s share of economic output has shrunk over the last 20 years.

You can do all countries. I'm not saying ones better than the other. I picked consumer Staples. Inflation is way hogher than fake news will tell you, cost of everything going up wages aren't which drops standard of living.


43% of people in Vancouver can't afford the houses they are living in.


Add 1+2.

All the "red hot" growth in Canada has been from real estate and government spending... The first will crash thr economy the second is going to put our children's children in the poor house.



Compare to the US numbers for the past 6 months that everybody in the media wants to so desperately run down...


3% growth from real estate and government or 3% from hiring factory orders and increased production. You pick.


And now I'm not saying the USA is great they are in a major bubble with their stock market and QE but we are worse off right now and actually need to take heed.

Wow dmlr

This is for you and your lovely liberal party that fills their pockets on the backs of hard working Canadians.

Yea it’s called planning ahead and when we had another Trudeau you had to really plan ahead.

[shtferbrains]

I can see the Paul Martin and Steven Harper part of the chart dml, but what happens when Justin shows up?

It only goes to 2014 when Canada was considered a leader in responsible budgets and we were back down to around 38% tax.

Hot of the presses...
