I am so happy he was happy to be absolutely clear. Was that being clear? I am glad folks think he is good with math as English certainly is not the PM’s strong suit. God bless you Brian as you still give me hope for journalism.
Paul my comment was made in sarcasm. If it’s my respect for Brian Lilley, I have enjoyed his work for decades. I am not certain where you think my standards are but if you’d like to chat over coffee, I love to listen and am willing to learn.
Can we even imagine that if we had someone like Trump ruling here in Canada WOW! We’d definitely be an amazingly wealthy country!! He is kicking ass down there! And their economy has been givin a quick starter by his hard work.. let me reiterate… by Trumps hard work ..(compare to Carney’s travelling clown show!) he is helping the USA to flourish after the pathetic dem years.
US social security and Medicaid will be unfunded in two more terms (roughly 2032) so hope all the old timers saved up for their own pension and health care.
Although it is a problem that has been known for many years, nothing has been done, not is anything being done - US debt continues to climb and it looks like the response will be more debt.
US debt-to-GDP will be 125% end of year and the US depends on foreign buyers of that debt, stable coin scams notwithstanding.
Our country is on the brink of bankruptcy according to the PBO and Carney is cavorting around with leftists who only have a hate on for Donald Trump! It’s absolutely disgusting. I also 100% stand with Israel.
My Nice neighbours elected Mark Carney to be Justin Trudeau - but this time competent. So what we are seeing is the Woke agenda, now burdening the country with much greater intensity.
The profoundly worrying part is that most of what they think is based almost entirely on wilfully chosen misinformation. And thus they won't care about government control of media as long as they get their Two Minute Hate against Trump and similar targets. I am sure government can see to that.
The leader of the opposition always resides at Stornaway. Trudeau squatted at Harrington Lake for a decade spending something like 12 million without authorization of parliament to remodel it to his personal preference.
Carney is doing a lot of foolish things to antagonize President Trump. But there may be a method in his madness. As Canada’s economy continues to grow worse & our debt grows he will blame Trump once again.
That is Carneys whole strategy. The Liberals have come to realize that as long as they can keep the focus on Trump, use the “existential crisis” narrative they came up with, scare their voters into thinking that it’s a scary world and only they know how to deal with the bad actors out there, and make it seem like he is this incredible statesman who can regularly meet with leaders in the EU and Britain while making it look like he is getting deals left right and centre, - they will get re-elected. Thats all they care about - retaining power so they can push their agenda down our throats. Meanwhile they are personally enriching themselves at the expense of the taxpayer and there have been no significant trade deals made with anyone.The Liberals are deliberately not negotiating with Trump because they have figured out that if they do - the whole focus shifts away from Trump and tariffs to our domestic agenda at home - and that is a topic the Liberals would just as soon avoid - that’s why they were so far down in the polls at thus time last year before Trump became the issue.
Exactly. Just hope the “elbows up” crowd (I am in that senior age group but certainly did not vote Liberal) can see what is really going on cause they were fooled before.
I too am a senior Kat and all I can do is hope that somehow they see through the deception eventually. Part of the problem is that for a large swath of seniors who vote Liberal, they have failed to keep up with the times. They think this is the Center Left Liberal party of Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin - fiscally responsible individuals. They see the Conservatives as this slash and burn party, only interested in supporting business at the expense of taxpayers - a far right, anti- abortion agenda. Unfortunately that is not the reality today. Trudeau and Carney along with Guilbeault, Champagne and Gerald Butts have moved the Liberals over to the far left while Poilievre has become more of a populist Conservative and he has moved them into that centrist position the Liberals vacated. A good number of these voters just vote Liberal out of habit- not because of any belief in policy - they have no clue what their policy is.
What does Trumps speech at the UN have to do with the Canadian budget deficit accumulated over the past 10 years ? What does Trump’s speech have to do with high unemployment in Canada, the homeless encampments in every city in Canada, the price of food going up 40% and the Liberals raising the tariffs on it. What does Trumps speech have to do with the 4 million Canadians forced to use food banks just to eat in this once prosperous nation. What does Trumps speech have to do with the 20% raise in our electricity bills ( in a supposedly energy rich nation) ? Are you happy knowing that every day $ 150 million dollars of your tax money is being gobbled up just to pay the $ 50 billion dollars of interest payments a year on the $ 1.5 trillion dollars in debt the Liberals have saddled us with ? And what is Canada going to do to stop Russian aggression in the Ukraine ? You seem to have an totally outsized view of the power and influence of Canada - a country with a population about the size of Poland and a military that is far weaker than Polands. And what does the murder rate, assassinations and unlawful detainment in the US have to do with Canada ? Our crime rate here is through the roof, and you do not seem to be concerned in the least. You seem to be fixated entirely with Trump and the US. They have a term for that - it’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome. We live in Canada and we have our own issues that have nothing to do with Trump, although the longer Carney can keep people like you fixated on Trump - the less you pay attention to what is going on here. Wake up. You are being played like a fiddle, manipulated by the very party you so vehemently support. And you need to step away from watching Rosemary Barton and David Cochrane and the CBC itself. In closing - I do not watch FOX news ever. Do you know why ? Because I live in Canada so the US news is irrelevant to me. My God man, wake up.
Exactly!! 💯 👍 “Quit obsessing over the debt”Paul says. Of course why worry - our great-great-great grandchildren will be paying forever thanks to the reckless, destructive Liberal spending, and the ignorant people who keep voting them in.
That is rich coming from someone who ,let me guess, listens to CBC,CNN,MSNBC and the rest of the leftist garbage. Stick to yours and we'll stick to ours.
Are you watching the genocide being committed by Israel against Palestinians ? For the 73 years of my life I have listened to Israel lament the holocaust. Now the world looks on while innocent Palestinians are killed every day while Netanyahu
deliberately slaughters Palestinians . The UN is redundant. It has no power to halt this despicable annihilation of innocent lives.
Yeah the leftists have permanent red coloured glasses on, Trump makes them see red! they have been blinded to the truth and the red glasses prevent them from seeing clearly!
Carney is just an older version of Trudeau. His speeches are the same rambling jumble of words that say nothing. The man has the personality of a stop sign. Another world traveller on Trudeau's jumbo jet flitting about the world with his bucket list of countries he has yet to visit.
While Canada’s regulatory reform is a critical issue that must be addressed, it does not fully explain why TC Energy chooses to invest in the United States. TC Energy’s investments are driven by the reality that the U.S. market is the dominant energy market, producing nearly four times more oil and significantly more natural gas than Canada. The booming LNG exports in the U.S. create enormous demand for pipelines, making it the obvious choice for growth. Meanwhile, Canada’s smaller market and ongoing policy uncertainties limit its potential. The conclusion is clear: TC Energy follows where the demand is—and that is unmistakably south of the border.
Okay but ask yourself why the US is dominating this market and Canada isn’t when we have more oil and gas than they do?? Perhaps it’s our government?? Alberta would be a leader in the world if we didn’t have leftist dingdongs destroying everything.
In the ground oil true Canada has more reserves, but not so with gas. The US. is the world’s #1 producer of both oil and natural gas. It produces more than double Canada’s oil output and many times Canada’s natural gas.
Canada is in the top 5 for oil production, but still far behind the U.S. It’s production that counts when building pipelines.
Sorry Paul FYI - Canada has ~ 170 billion barrels and almost all of that is oil sands, that means oil sands in Canada make up around 9-11% of global proven oil reserves. (170 ÷ ~1,700 ≈ 0.10).
You appear to have many bad sources. And I will suggest that your love affair, smitten as you are with Mark Carney, will prove a big letdown. Just wait and see, then prove me wrong. Character analysis is not your strong suit based on how ready you are to show appeasement to the new PM. Bad mistake, and time will tell.
My mind is completely boggled. How is it that Liberal voters cannot see through the facade this guy puts forward ? And what’s worse, it is them he is lying to - not those who do not vote Liberal. They are totally being played by this guy and this government and yet they ask for more. I see their comments when Carney posts some nonsense on Facebook “ So proud to have Mark Carney as our PM” , or “ keep fighting for Canada”, or my personal favourite “ you are doing an excellent job”. I just want to say to them - what has he done that makes you think these things. The report by the PBO last week was a dire warning - we are about to become insolvent as a country in the next 5 years unless we turn this ship around in terms of these huge budget deficits within 2 years. Our debt will be unsustainable. As it is now just to pay the interest on the debt we have accumulated to date cost’s Canadian taxpayers $ 150 MILLION - A DAY. What government can operate when you have to start every day paying that first. It’s pathetic. I really fear for the future of this country.
Good article. Did you read Andrew Fox’s report “Who Was Really Behind the Recognition of Palestine”? It was Global Progress Action, part of pro-Qatar Center for American Progress. CAEF emailed this article.
Carney's trip to England was only to meet with Brookfield and the Qatar reps to go over their profits in the oil and gas industries that they're partners in. By the way, they're doing pretty good.
I am so happy he was happy to be absolutely clear. Was that being clear? I am glad folks think he is good with math as English certainly is not the PM’s strong suit. God bless you Brian as you still give me hope for journalism.

Carney has never been about enriching Canadians. This is just a gig to enrich his interests, and bring WEF control!
Can we even imagine that if we had someone like Trump ruling here in Canada WOW! We’d definitely be an amazingly wealthy country!! He is kicking ass down there! And their economy has been givin a quick starter by his hard work.. let me reiterate… by Trumps hard work ..(compare to Carney’s travelling clown show!) he is helping the USA to flourish after the pathetic dem years.

I've no idea what to do now.
Keep up the fight
I believe in prayer. It will get much worse before we see the light of day.
You clearly are illiterate or refuse to educate yourself.

100%
Do you think their position will change once the CUSMA deal is finished? What will we have to negotiate with?

A great and honest reply to a person with the same type of TDS as Rosie O’Donnell. Really sick, twisted people.

Sad little man brain

Hamas is the only source of news in Gaza. You choose to believe them, I don't.
Yeah the leftists have permanent red coloured glasses on, Trump makes them see red! they have been blinded to the truth and the red glasses prevent them from seeing clearly!
Carney is ONLY about enriching his own interests. This is his sole focus :(
Not deep just thinking like a Laurentian traitor and commie P.E.T :(
We owe $2.3 trillion, a shamed energy&mineral income with tariffed exports :(
Jeezus I thought Justin was bad in the umm, ohh, ahh category but Carney really takes home the prize.
Carney is just an older version of Trudeau. His speeches are the same rambling jumble of words that say nothing. The man has the personality of a stop sign. Another world traveller on Trudeau's jumbo jet flitting about the world with his bucket list of countries he has yet to visit.
Carnage is a graduate of "Kamala Harris School of Word Salad"
You said it all!
And then the lefties resort to pathetic personal assaults only bc they have only grey matter btw their ears and red glasses on their noses🤪!!
Do you know the difference between a Conservative and a Liberal ? By your comment it doesn't appear you do.
What is that supposed to mean?

I blame #voterfraud, and #Morons.
Um… um….. uh um…. Global green… um …. I went to a rugby game um.., i am elbows up…. Um… i am balancing the debt … um … i think!???
I hear Carney! Well done, Janice.
Excellent commentary here. Keep up the fine journalism Mr Lilley.

Tits Up! It’s all a facade/sham.
This is what journalism should be.
Makes the CBC look like the Liberal’s communications department. Budget is $1,250,000,000, but it’s really a bribe.
#WEF #Carney is not working for the benefit of #Canada, nor #Canadians?
