    The gov'ts idea for more defence spending is to fund the program to collect Canadians' firearms and ship them to Ukraine in support of the war against Russia...... pathetic is the word that comes to mind.

      Weapons that are all unfit for war, because they're all semi-automatic. They can't even fire 3-round bursts or full auto.
      Some combination of Trumpian casual disregard for reality and smelling their own farts.

    Are you kidding me Amanda? How is mass immigration good for Canada? How much is demographics really a problem in Canada that economists keep beating the drum about it?! On wages, only the PS and unions have gotten the wage increases, private sector is still lagging, how can you justify a chef making $28/hr to make ends meet? The reality is Canada needs an overhaul in policy from line to line. There is way too much complacency in this country. Everyone start doing their jobs, and we will do great.

      The people who go to econ classes in university usually go into finance, where people make their money more from interest and rent and profit than from wages. They tend to see wages as a cost rather than their livelihood.
      It's difficult to teach woman something when her salary depends on not understanding it, and Lang's salary is improved by crushing wages at the bottom.

      Almost all sectors of the economy - from retail and restaurants to high tech and financial services to healthcare - are having trouble finding qualified people to fill vacancies. Mass immigration could be good as long as we are bringing in people who have the qualifications that employers need, not just bodies. The problem we’ve had in the past few years is a lack of coordination between the feds who control immigration and the provinces who are responsible for housing and infrastructure. Plus the provinces are underfunding post secondary institutions so in response the schools want to import foreign students who pay 4x the tuition. And some of those immigrants coming in on student visas don’t actually go to school.

    I agree with you Amanda. I think Mark Carney would be a fantastic PM, but he might not survive the pissant Canadian political garbage fire we currently have. I don't care which party he would run with. Getting a real statesman/person as a PM would be great.

    • @pin65371

      I'm not sure how I feel about him but I know he would be better than Trudeau. Trudeau is an activist that managed to become PM. You need someone who actually understands how the world works. I'll be voting for Pierre but I'm not too thrilled about him either. I dont totally trust anyone who has spent their life in politics. He has some good ideas and is pro energy though which would be the easiest way to get us out of this mess. I think that Canada exporting our energy to the world is better than a lot of the other countries which use oil and gas revenue to build up their military to use for offensive reasons instead of just for defensive reasons. If we can keep oil prices around $65 a barrel that starts to put a few countries in a tight spot when it comes to their budgeting.

You can tell you two have never run a business in your entire lives. The herele burly would do well to get better guests to explain the implications of huge levies be imposed on the Canadian economy.

    Easy solution to the trade deficit problem. Build more oil pipelines to the BC coast. If we cut back on how much oil we were sending to the US that problem would sort itself out.

    As an environmental specialist, the problem with climate change are the policies which cause far more damage to the environment and prosperity of humans and our ecosystem than will be caused by man made climate change. Climate related deaths are down 95% over that last 100 years, crop growth across the board continue to see increases in yields globally due to CO2 fertilization and nitrogen based fertilizers, NASA confirms a 15% greening of planet earth due largely to CO2 fertilization, we are now able to feed the world's population using less land for agriculture. Contrary to the propaganda promoted by the ignorant, even the politically driven beraucracy called the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes in their most recent assessment report AR6 that there are no increases in draughts and floods, extreme winds and weather including tornadoes/cyclones and hurricanes, and forest fires are on the decline globally, in the US and Canada, despite Canada's 45 year record high in 2023 (the 45 record low was in 2020). 10 times more people die of cold than heat. The planet has been in the Pleistocene ice age for about 2.5M years, and we are still in it!
    But facts do not matter.

      Not to mention that Canada’s grid is quite clean and that DAC (direct air capture) of CO2 is a possibility from the world, and Canada could store all of it in just Western Canada’s landscape. Canada also is 40% forest. The rest of the world needs to keep planting trees and everything will be good.

      @@bluefalcon0001 I support keeping the industrial carbon tax. That is the area we should be focusing anyways and in Alberta the money from the industrial carbon tax goes into a fund where a crown corporation decides where to invest. Unlike the federal green slush fund the Emissions Reductions Alberta program has actually been successful. For every dollar they have put in there has been 7 dollars of private investment. Lots of first of a kind projects have come from it where they provided funding to derisk them.

    I disagree with a number of her assertions, especially that Canada can manage this tariff issue by looking back at our previous dealing with trump in office. We can't. Exhibit A: Project 2025. To see trump as anything other than a puppet for the far right christian national conservative movement led by the Federalist Society is insane. Both Amanda and Kevin parrot the same talking points but I am glad Trudeau went down to see trump. We'll see how trump deals with the less conciliatory Mexican president.
