I know I fucking am. Doesn't take a genius but sadly there's FAR too many morons out there

L take lol

Ouuuu that's genius! He really should say that us cancelling the industrial pricing on carbon would make us closer to the USA. That would take wind out of his sails lol

Well they're gunning for building affordable housing, a lot of it. I wouldn't say they have been left out no. A lot of Canadians decided that they dIdNt wAnT WoKe TrUdEaU and his spending and were actually prepared to go vote Pierre into office.... Like that would have fucking helped lol

Holy fuck man go home, read something other than Instagram comments on podcasts. The governor of a nation bank does not need to make decisions based on politics. They do not cut or raise interest rates due to politics nor should they. Look at the United States chair of the federal reserve, he won't cut rates because trump asked him to, and no politician should interfere with that.

Fent bot 9000 engage engines and gtfo of here

The governor of a national bank is simply not a politician... They are appointed by a politician, yes. But they aren't voted in... And to say that economics isn't a science is.... Fucking bold buddy. Gotta lay off the fent and brocasts

Buddy, all I'm saying is that a governor of a national bank SHOULDNT be influenced by politicians. It's not that deep

As you and the rest of us should to any politician. The most important thing about not voting for Pierre is that he has openly stated that he is not against using the not withstanding clause nationally just like the other conservative premiers across the country. For shit that isn't a national emergency at all

I hate it too. But goddamn we will be so much better off with the liberals at the helm then the conservatives. They are actively ruining their image for decades to come with all this bullshit and being similar to the USA conservatives (who are batshit insane). And with the conservatives coming out guns blazing with tax cuts, spening promises and protecting all the programs the liberals and NDP put into place (dental, pharma and childcare) when they voted hard against it....

Yes! This is what was so fascinating to me. He explains this very well and how we can make it profitable to advance our goals and be sustainable about it. Hence why he says that getting rid of the industrial carbon tax is a terrible idea because the EU requires it's trading partners to have some kind of carbon price in place to avoid tariffs. Pierre and the other conservatives in this country are showing their true colours to how much they are posing as "economic" minds

His book does a great job at explaining economics and how they work. As we look forward to expanding trade and beefing up our own infrastructure to reach other markets and expancld domestically, Carney has this exactbtype of mind to handle it while also championing progressive causes like climate change and helping turning them to profitable endeavours! Truely fascinating read and even if you could get an audiobook I highly recommend

That would be so fucking whack since the governor of a national bank is apolitical. They do not and should not comment on political matters and only focus on tuning the countries fiscal mechanisms in response to political decisions. That's why Pierre yapping about "firing" the governor of our bank is a big no no for me. The financial levers of your country should never be politicised or influences by politics because that how you get Zimbabwe dollars.

Clearly you've read his book🙄

He was governor of the BoE during Brexit.... There really isn't much you can do as a governor of the national bank in such stupidity. And Canada can absolutely be a super power, our landmass, resources and technical know-how can allow us to prosper and lead on the global stage. Canada is a great example of a country of the future, where we don't rely on wars to settle differences. Carney supports childcare, dental care, boosting the GIS for seniors, pharma care, and everything the liberals did under trudeau minus the consumer carbon tax. And he's replacing it.

Canada doesn't need nuclear weapons, does Iraq ring a bell to you how the USA straight up invaded and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people because of "rumors" of WMDs? And the weakest Intel? That kind of talk can gtfo

I don't think they are anti electric calls... I think they just honestly report the facts, they will state the electric cars really do struggle in our winters. Battery's runout and the charging grid isn't there yet, they definately don't say anything that's "anti ev" but they will state the truth: if you're buying a new car TODAY, depending on your driving habits, an EV in Canada, just isn't really viable ATM, give it 5 years

AND legal weed. Imagine being able to just being able to hop on a domestic flight with 30g of the best shit ever in your carry on and not having any problems lol

The conservatives don't believe in EI, period. The liberals have taken a fair stance on it and have in the past clearly shown that they support enhancing it and broadening it. As shown by what Carney has done so far

We still have to get out and vote. The moment early voting opens up I'm going. There's no playing around with this shit

Not when you guys can't even locate your own country on a map🤡

The liberals literally do have something to incentivize green energy and buying green products in their platform. The conservatives have nothing at all because the conservatives at their last leadership meeting voted no to acknowledge that climate change is real 🤡

Oh and the liberals are running on keeping the emissions cap in place??? So when you say no party has a climate plan are you talking about the cons, greens and NDP?
