I watched Batra’s Burning Question and Kinsella’s comment that the liberals have miscalculated was great. The liberals are so convinced of their moral superiority and virtue that they were sure the EU and Mexico would stand up to the US along with us and Trump would bow but the EU and Mexico are clearly not suicidal. So there we are left holding our fake virtue and superiority while the country circles the drain. Will they ever recognize pride comes before a fall and humble themselves?

Q: “Will they ever recognize pride comes before a fall and humble themselves?”

A: No

Trade seems a little inconsequential to US policy at present doesn’t it?

I have concluded that parachuting a PM into Canada who left his central banking jobs before their terms expired, twice, is an indicator that Carney's job is to unwind Canada's economy, with plausible deniability that it was deliberate.

No one is this dumb or incompetent by accident.

To wit: this tariff battle strikes me as WWE style Kayfabe to distract the populace in a two sided mirage whilst a third maneuver takes place right before their eyes but completely unnoticed. This is the essence of misdirection as Penn and Teller illustrate:

He’s not stupid. He is just executing the EU Globalist plan for Canadian self destruction

I get angry every time I see a clip of Freeland breaking the law and infringing on our charter rights, while she boasts of seizing bank accounts back in the freedom convoy days.

I abhor the lies Carney repeats and cringe when I realize some of my well educated friends were completely taken by Carneys deception.

We have been in a recession for months. Only lies and fraudulent accounting is a cover up.

And the continued printing verbatim of government press releases , even in the Toronto Sun, telling us how good the government is treating us, makes me ill.

Mr Lilley you do your best to be even handed but this fact remains:

Carney is a pathological liar

Carole Saville's avatar

Thank you John. The fact that Carney is a liar should be mentioned in every article written about him.

Liars lie. That is what Carney does every day.

Blinkered nonsense

Thinking that things change over night.

I agree that if we DO NOT pull resources out AND process then he has not done what is required.

Let's see how he gets along shall we? Jumping up and down demanding signs of progress constantly is immature.

We’re in a crisis yet he’s running around going to gay pride parades! Get to work fixing this problem!

Not a serious comment...

We have been in a recession for years, not months. $90B budget deficits mask it. Our per capita wealth has gone down when inflation is factored in. I am guessing Canadian families are about 25% poorer than they were eight years ago.

It’s going to be a long 5 years, if Canada lasts that long.

kRockit's avatar

What plan. The plan to set up offices and more bureaucrats? He has done nothing.

I made the same comment on an article about the shortage of housing construction in Canada:

The federal government is RUINING the country intentionally.

It just proves to me how the “elbows up” crowd and the Liberal’s do not care about Canada or Canadian’s. Canada is a ridiculous country. I mean that whole heartedly. It’s become a complete disaster and a joke to say the least, as those in Liberal camps cheer on the countries financial demise. I don’t understand people, least of all those from the Eastern Provinces, as they seem to like to be controlled and manipulated to destroy themselves as well as all others. It’s absurd and they are too.

These retirees (and laptop riders) that are still backing Carney. Do they have kids, grandkids? Do they care at all what kind of country they want to leave to their descendants? Crime? Debt? Poverty?

They watch global news, cititv, cbx msnvc and cnn so as far as they know everything is just peachy, propaganda is alive and still working well on the feeble minded of which Canada has many.

All good points Mr Lilly

K Brooker's avatar

Yeah but Ford says Carney’s great! What planet is he on?

Verna Scott's avatar

Talk is cheap and on a personal level they click. Right he could tone that down. Or maybe hes trying to help him in a ligit way. He might know something we dont. Like hes not into fighting for our rights like Ford. Jmo

He is on a much needed vacation..hope he stays wherever he is..

PRAIRIESUN615530's avatar

He's just like Justin...runs away when the kitchen gets hot. I agree Carney should get out of Canada and STAY OUT.

Darlene Haggerty's avatar

Couldn’t agree more

LC's avatar

Trump is doing what he was Elected to do!! Carney the Canadian CLOWN pump your arms & see if you can fly...is spending Canadians MONEY like Water. While Carney is profiting! Canadians debt is ONE point SEVEN TRILLION Dollars...what is it that these chickens don't understand. They are dispensable when the gov't see fit to pull the plug on them!

K Brooker's avatar

Agreed with everything you said!

Pauline Uruski's avatar

Tariffs are not the large problem. PM Carney and his agenda is!

About the only comfort to be found in this rotten tariff storyline of 2025 is the solid support that the Conservative Party is holding in the national polls. This is pretty amazing considering that the MSM is having a great time lampooning 200 candidate ballots and Poilievre’s retreat to Alberta with cap in hand to regain a path to Parliament. Also, the Conservatives have pretty much abandoned the national narrative leaving the Liberals to control the action (which is currently the abandoning of elbows up and downsizing expectations).

I have a feeling that Canadians are on a slow burn and short on patience with a Liberal Machine that oversold its ability to save our economy from the orange menace but is underdelivering. There is lots of room for the Conservatives in this game if they abandon the slick slogans and start talking in full sentences that Canadians want to hear.
