And that's exactly why the liberals don't want pipelines... they want the country to go completely bankrupt so they can sell the place to India and China for next to nothing.

Trudeau spent ten years building a country that the most capable Canadians didn't want to live in. The voters just replaced him with the former Governor of the Bank of Canada — an architect of the same economic regime — and called it change.

Canada doesn't have a GDP problem. It has a trust problem. And talented people vote with their feet.

Including myself, this governments excessive intervention is creating barriers for individuals and businesses trying to grow.
This is counterproductive, as it puts those working to get ahead at a disadvantage rather than enabling their success.

Why stay to have nothing? High earners. Like do just that or leave.

Wake up.

A new Bank of Canada study confirms what many have been warning about for years. The GDP per capita collapse isn't just about bad policy or pandemic math. It's about who is leaving.

Roughly 40% of Canadians who would rank in the top 1% of earners have emigrated to the United States. Another 30 to 50% of the next tier? Gone too. These aren't people who left because they failed. They are more educated than native-born Americans. They earn more. They cluster disproportionately in the top income brackets of every city they move to.

Here's what that flight left behind. GDP per capita that grew 3.2% over ten years while the United States grew 20.2%. Canada fell below the OECD average for the first time in recorded history. Food bank usage doubled since 2019. Healthcare wait times hit 28.6 weeks — the second-longest ever recorded. Canada's World Happiness ranking collapsed from 5th in 2012 to 25th today. Young Canadians under 25 rank 71st globally in happiness.

And the government's response to a decade of this? Expand public spending from 38% to 45% of GDP. More bureaucrats. More transfers. More deficit financing. More government with fewer results — because the people whose taxes once funded all of it have moved to Austin and Miami and Seattle.

Is this what "elbows up" was all about?

Canada has failed the next generation. In the 2026 World Happiness Report, people under 25 in Canada fell to 71st out of 136 countries.

Mark Carney's has an uncanny ability to trick people into believing he is fiscally responsible as well as a shrewd negotiator. Nothing could be further from the turth.

Carney is as irresponsible with our money as his predecessor. Actually he is more incompetant than Trudeau. And he has Canada on a path similar to what we were in during the early 1990's facing a debt reckoning.

Study accuses Carney Liberals of 'substantially' worsening federal finances
Combined deficits from 2025-26 to 2029-30 will total $321.7 billion, compared to $154.4 billion projected by Trudeau

Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to spend more and run deficits more than twice as large over the next five years compared to those planned by the previous Liberal government, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

As a result, Carney's combined deficits are projected to total $321.7 billion from 2025-26 to 2029-30 — $167.3 billion higher than the $154.4 billion former prime minister Justin Trudeau was projected to spend during the same period, according to the report by the fiscally conservative think-tank.

The study says that will increase the total federal debt to a projected $2.9 trillion in 2029-30 or 79% of GDP.

In addition to running higher deficits, the Fraser Institute report says the Carney government plans to increase spending by $67.6 billion over five years compared to the Trudeau government's projections — $47.8 billion more for new programs and $19.8 billion more for servicing the debt.

Carney vowed 'different approach' to spending
This despite expecting slower total annual revenue growth from 2024-25 to 2029-30 of 14.2% or $72.3 billion, compared to 19.9% or $101.8 billion projected under Trudeau.

The study — "Comparing Federal Fiscal Plans: Is the Carney Government Truly Taking a Different Approach than its Predecessor? — is based on a comparison of the Trudeau government's last fall economic statement or "mini-budget" in December 2024 and Carney's first budget in November 2025.

"During the 2025 election, the Carney government promised to take a very different approach to federal finances than its predecessor," said study co-author Jake Fuss, noting Carney criticized Trudeau for "spending too much."

"But based on his first budget, spending is higher and deficits are double what even Trudeau planned to spend, which substantially worsens the state of federal finances."

Spending 'inappropriately' shifted?
The study is also critical of how Carney's budget divides government spending into operational spending — the cost of running the government — and capital spending on new infrastructure, while projecting a balanced operating budget by 2028-29.

While this is sensible in theory, the Fraser Institute study notes, the Parliamentary Budget Office has reported that 30% or $94 billion of the capital spending proposed in Carney's budget isn't, in fact, capital spending, but increased operating spending that may or may not lead to the creation of new assets.

"Simply put, nearly a third of the Carney government's planned capital investments should not be considered as such and instead represent operating spending or tax credits that have been inappropriately shifted over to the capital side of the budget," the Fraser Institute report says.

"Correcting this miscalculation shows that the Carney government is set to fall short of its commitment to balance operating spending against revenues."

Canadians know they live in a country that has embraced big government as the path to economic prosperity, but just how big it has become is alarming, and a new study says it is curtailing economic growth.

The fiscally conservative Fraser Institute, in a report released Thursday, estimates total public spending by federal, provincial and municipal governments grew to 43.6% of Canada's GDP in 2024, up from 37.4% in 2007 and far higher than the optimal level for economic growth of 26% to 30%.

"Put simply, the size of government in every Canadian province is above the optimal size to maximize economic growth," said Jake Fuss, co-author of the study, The Size of Government in Canada, 2024.

"In some provinces, it is twice as large as the optimal size."

In 2024, the only province where total government spending was close to 30% of GDP was Alberta, at 30.4%.

From 2007 to 2024, the size of government relative to the economy increased in nine of 10 provinces (except for P.E.I.), while from 2019 to 2024 it increased in every province.

In many provinces, government spending as a percentage of GDP is staggering — 61.2% in Nova Scotia in 2024; 60.6% in New Brunswick; 58.7% in P.E.I.; 52.7% in Manitoba; 50.1% in Quebec; 49.7% in Newfoundland and Labrador; 43.4% in Ontario; 40% in B.C.; 39.7% in Saskatchewan; 30.4% in Alberta.

At the same time, public sector employment steadily increased to 21.5% of all Canadian workers in 2024 and is now at its highest level since 2007, when it was 19.2%.

During that period, public sector employment in every province increased as a share of total employment.

As for what effect this rapid growth in the size and cost of government had on our economy, Prime Minister Mark Carney, when he was campaigning for Liberal leader, cited the high operational costs of the federal government as one of the reasons our economy was weak before U.S. President Donald Trump launched his global tariff war.

Over the past decade, Canada experienced the worst record of economic growth as defined by real GDP per capita, a widely accepted metric of the standard of living, of any federal government since that of R.B. Bennett during the Great Depression.

Neither Carney nor any premier is learning their lesson. They keep growing the size of their government. They keep spending more money, hiring more unnecessary employees, adding new bureaucracies and creating new red tape.

Millions of Americans can now claim Canadian citizenship by descent under Bill C-3.
Hopefully they're all conservatives.

This is a complete lie by Mark Carney.

Responding to the disastrous February job loss of 84k, Carney claims Canada gained NET 80,000 jobs:

"If you look at the performance of the labour market over the course of the last 6 months, we have created over 80,000 jobs net."

Here are the facts, over the last 6 months:
(September - February)

Total employed went from 21.039M to 20.783K = 255.8K job loss.

Private Sector went from 13.748M to 13.479M = 269.2k job loss.

Public Sector went from 4.598M to 4.623M = 25.7k job gain.

Either Mark Carney is lying or completely clueless to what is going on in Canada. Both are equally alarming.

This Liberal Party's obsession with our emissions is a big part of why Canada is losing it's developed country status.

Every Goddamn Liberal and NDP MP.
