Calm down. This was the same tactic sheinbaum uses every day. Manufactured chaos over a nothing tax that wasn’t even enforced for years.it was a throw away deal to distract Donald cuz he’s so dumb and easily distracted. ‘I won!’ Meanwhile the export market and Canada stocks took a sweet uptick. Donald is none the wiser as to why. He’s just running off to admire himself in the mirror again.
So does no one here understand the concept of manufactured chaos as a distraction ?
The service tax was put in place ages ago but was never enforced. It’s the same trick with the whole border czar bullshit where Donald needs to feel big about something as a distraction despite its a throw away card and often something that was already agreed upon even without the US.
Carney only kicked it up for Donald’s ego to feel like he made a deal. Why? Cuz Cheeto thrives on drama. Meanwhile Canada stole the wheat export market from right under the nose of trump. As well as a few other things no doubt.
Canada is slowly disempowering US but needs some keys to periodically dangle in Donald’s face while they do it.
Sheinbaum is a pro at this game and has been playing it cleanly for 7 months. Carney’s simply following suit.
So you’re not even acknowledging the full fledged racism that is the topic in this little whataboutism speech you put together there?
Nothing about the racism. Not one word to nod to the overarching story here.
So which part of you missed that? The rural part?
US is currently burning wheat farms cuz the world has shifted off of cheap wheat for something more stable.
And the world knows which ones are the red states and are boycotting.
So You have two choices: take it personally or acknowledge a consequence of ignoring racism and self interest replacing it with apathy and revenge. Just know this: Neither will make a difference in the long run. You’re still headed to the same destination. So even now with at this point you’re begging to ignore it. Noted.
You’re just echoing the overall problem here by not even acknowledging the topic.
It drives those undereducated and uninvolved people to identify more with this asshole
They are trying for over 300 b. The entirety of Canada is 400b. Meanwhile they (westerners) work in Alberta (contributing to it from there ) and retire in bc and Toronto(collecting it there as they age).
The actual amount they contribute is approx closer 100b ( which still seems like a lot but that is only because of work age is usually in Alberta over in the west so a bunch of people influx to work there and pay into cpp while they are in Alberta at that point) and now Alberta wants to try to grift it from the average Canadian who should be allowed to maintain it regardless of where they live over the course of their life.
And then they got even more greedy and lopped on a tonne of made up interest (which isn’t allowed to exist anywhere else in Canada but Alberta apparently) and blatantly ignored shifted population per province(maintaining nobody moves provinces as they age out of work) which makes this an illegally inflated imaginary number they think they are owed off the backs of all Canadians expected to pay an interest to Alberta who may not even end up collecting cpp ever in their lifetime either as it’s only ensured when you take from it. And as we know with life: there is no insurance a person makes it to pension age.
They are trying to use this to manipulate all of Canada in which they want to lower the pension for old age making it less return. It’s already too low for inflated cost of living as it is. Like $700 a month. Which is really nothing. Impossible to live near a city or anywhere close to facilities on that.
I would add a side note on CPP that it’s complete horse shit that anyone pays into a cpp via tax on their income but then gets taxed by the CRA again as income when they pull it out like some sort of dismissing return but I’ll admit that might be off topic and more for a stern letter for the MP to focus on that glaring problem instead.
It attracts bears and this is dangerous to both bears and humans. Bears get killed just for foraging. It’s not even political so it’s weird how it even went there. You live in Canada. There are bears here.
This is essentially what the royals did back in trinity days in Ireland
That’s how we got Australia.
