How much cash did Soros put into this one?
It won’t be long until Trudeau and his lefty cohorts screw things up north.
It’s a sad day. Harper made Canada look sane compared to the US. He also called evil by its name.
If Trudeau is promising 75 billion in ‘infrastructure’ over three years there were probably millions put down by Canadian interests who will get the kickbacks many fold with contracts to build the ‘infrastructure’.
Why oh why do people keep flirting with destructive liberalism? Dennis Prager is correct-—human history bends toward stupidity over the ages of time.
Canadians didn’t like Fiscal Sanity?
A very excellent analysis, it’s bang on.
If one was looking for a bit of humor in all this, the leader of the Bloc in Quebec (Gilles Duceppe) saw his party gain 10 seats, but he lost his own seat and won’t be joining them, lol
With the Canadian dollar trading at near par, wait for it to go back to $1.46CND to one USD under Trudeau. The Liberals will turn Canada back into a welfare state like it was.
Stephen Harper did not deal with the debt problem in his country just as sure as John Boehner and Paul Ryan haven’t in this country.
More money has been borrowed in both countries in the years all of the above have held positions of power.
So the socialists take over in Canada and will move so far left that Obama will have to race to catch up. Trudeau and Obama can have a big love fest and slide North America into the history books.
That is where Trump is strong
“Why oh why do people keep flirting with destructive liberalism?”
Because the lights still work, The cell phone still gets a signal, Food magically still appears at the grocery, and the toilet still flushes.
So as long as civilization doesn’t look like one of those Zombie TV shows, they think no harm done.
Wanna’ be a rock star...? Play politics; make the groupies swoon. It’s all about pop, not substance.
Canadian dollar trades at 77 US cents. It’s lost 25% of its value since 2011.
There was outside influence on both sides.. Steven Harper brought in John Howard’s (Australian) old campaign manager and he tried to stir the pot with a niqab issue. Obviously didn’t work.
Fact is, Canada is a resource-based economy, and like most resource based economies, it relied on exports to China. Blackberry was a great story, but it’s on a respirator. The housing market is in a bubble, particularly Vancouver, fueled by Chinese money trying to get out of that country. Don’t know how the auto makers are doing across the river from Detroit around Sarnia, I would guess they’re participating in the strong auto sales figures. Bombardier lost out on a big European contract recently.
But Canada isn’t that different from Russia— too many eggs in one basket. Western Canada has been subsidizing the eastern provinces for years. The welfare state never went away, it was just paid for with tax revenue off the exports to China.
today the Canadian dollar is at 77 cents (vs American $)
up north screwed themselves MULTIPLE ways here are a few:
1. Free medical- doctor shortage, and THEY TELL their patients to go to the U.S. if needing immediate or extensive treatment-
2. Bought into Kyoto big time- finally WITHDREW after the
goofy world communists wanted 14 Billion!! in fines!
So they now have signed on to Copenhagen accord!
3. accepting immigrants- who HATE Canada- gee where have
I heard this before?
Like the sheeple down here- the average Canadian has no
idea how their govt. is screwing their life- they blame it on the U.S.-
My worry is what is going to happen to us out here in the desert if the Canadians cannot afford to winter here. How is going to buy and fix up the abandoned and foreclosed houses? Who will clean up and fix up these properties?
Lawdy, they are what kept us running during the Bush/Obama Depression and if they no longer come all we will have left is old farts and wetbacks.
CDN Dollar now at 1.3009 to the USD! http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=CAD
Given that Canada's,like Australia's,economy is basically comodities-based it sounds to me that that could be a recipe for disaster.
Nobody likes Fiscal sanity. Everyone would love to throw a big spending party with other people's money, but people who aren't little children know this won't work for long and therefore they exercise responsibility.
