I love the left. Look here trump is bad every time skippy pisses away billions.

The left is a disease that needs to be wiped out.


This gay pride pisses me off. I had friends who were gay over the years doesn’t bother me. They didn’t push there lifestyle and I didn't push mine.

But Father’s Day and mother’s day is a day and gay pride is a month. That’s ****ed.

Can a new government stop the commitments Trudeau has made in the last few months?????

skippy has to drop the writ within about 2 weeks so there is no time to execute those commitments. Many are multi year so yes they can be repealed. But consider they are in liberal ridings or swing ridings. Sheer comes in and cuts like Ford and instantly hated. Trudeau might actually be staging a return for the liberals in 4 years time.

Most Canadians don't care about debt. They think that Alberta will pay for it.

For those of you who don't like Trudeau and his policies (and I have never voted Liberal), what is that Andrew Scheer will do that is significantly different? Not much. He has a plan to cut greenhouse gases, supports equalization, does not want to reopen thorny social issues, and is in favour of big agri-business, etc.

There is a tendency from the hyper partisans to blame everything on politicians when much of what is wrong with agriculture or the resource sector or the economy has more to do with the cyclical nature of commodity prices and the exploitation by the business sector.

Every oil producing region in the world has seen a significant downturn. Farmers are struggling in many countries.

Was Harper responsible for the unsustainable growth in China and the world that drove commodity prices very high? Nope.

The oil sands are going to become a stranded asset, as electrification of transportation takes over in the next decades. The writing is on the wall. Every major car company is delivering electric cars. Some are betting on hydrogen fuel cells.

The oil sands are uneconomic at current prices. Prices may go up and down but the trend towards electric and other forms of energy will eventually change demand for ever.

Give me an estimate on what percentage you think burning fossil fuel has contributed to the increase of climate change, I can't put a number on it, I think there may be a correlation between media [ television, radio, internet ] the more often you're told something,eventually you start to believe, a Katherinism so to speak, but I could be wrong. I don't think we will ever know for sure, there's just too many mirrors and fake noise clouding the facts.

Yea Choose Forward. How about fast forward to October so we can quit pissing away billions with this idiot.

yes jobs were lost in July. But one moment in time does not prove anything. Look at the trend. Unemployment has continued a downward trend through Trudeaus term. To claim otherwise or even to insinuate unemployment has "skyrocketed Trudeau is pure BS. Your posting of the unemployment numbers for one month would be equivalent to me thinking you must be an alcoholic because you have posted pictures of your drinks of the day. NOTE: I have never voted for Trudeau, the only party I have ever been a member of was the PCs. I am just sick of the hyperpartisonship and BS from both sides.

Our assets will only be stranded if we let them.

You obviously dont understand economics dml. If the employment rate dropped 2 pts under Trudeau and a million jobs were created, that would mean a roaring economy like the US. A roaring economy shows up instantly in the GDP. Ours has falled from 2% to 1% over the last 4 yrs. So its obvioulsy fake and manipulated or debt was used to mask it all.

Our GDP is less than inflation, means technical recession.

[blackpowder]

How can anyone truly believe that if all the world's wealthy stop using oil, without a cheaper replacement, all the poor will follow?

No one dares try and explain..

Then show me your "real" unemployment chart Jazz! You continually make claims but never back up a thing you say with verifiable data, just partisan BS.

If YOU understood economics you would know that GDP is not solely dependant on employment numbers. Employment is only one factor which effects GDP.

You would also realize that the "roaring" US economy is the result of the roughly US $ 1 trillion dollar budget deficit that Trump has run every year since taking office and now that the economic sugar high is wearing off of his tax cut which never did trickle down to the average consumer, the US is facing a recession. Odd how your economic wizardry sees no problem with the deficit in the US but it is a huge problem for Canada - especially when our debt to GDP (93%) is lower here than the US debt to GDP (107.2%). Please explain that too oh economic genius!

[blackpowder]

So tired of the delusional lie. That if North America and Europe stopped using oil, everyone else will.
Artificial incentives won't work if not universal. Only supply/demand will.

dml, use reason. When people hire, that means they have disposable income to do so and see an environment of expanded economic activity. When they hire that person, they immediatelly enter the economy and start consumer purchases. Consumer purchases are 70% of a modern economy. The resulting spin off economic activity is reflected in the exchange of goods and services. Its a direct corelation to GDP.

So either we hired a bunch of people who are still living at home or with relatives and never spend a dime or the jobs are fake, temporary, part time, seasonal, student whatever. They are a non factor in our economic growth. So debt was taken to create the illusion of work.

The exact opposite of the US who with every surge in job numbers sees a surge in quarter GDP. Exactly as predicted.

Forward Dr, forward...

Thanks for providing the verifiable facts and data I asked for.... NOT! Just more trickle down BS - what I expected from you.
You ignore the impact world commodity prices have on GDP and the fact that Canada is much more dependant on resource exports than US. You ignore the impact consumer debt has on purchase decisions. A new job does not mean that consumer suddenly has loads of cash to spend; especially if they are carrying large levels of debt already. You ignore the impact of public perception of the future. People are not going to spend money if they think the economy is slowing. You ignore the fact the US stats of 3.7% unemployment means the US is technically considered to be at full employment therefore there will be more of an impact price and wage wise than in Canada where we are 2% higher - much of it due to low world commodity prices and the slowdown in those industries as a result. You ignore the fact over 4 million people in the US are considered involuntary part time workers because they simply cannot find full time work. Why is part time workers a problem in your mind in Canada but not in US?

So put up some real facts to defend your claims of your economic brilliance are go back to school and learn some real economics
