Canada is screwed. Consumer and public debt are reaching crisis levels.

Time for Alberta and Saskatchewan to bail before the ship sinks to the bottom.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/canadas-rising-debt-crisis-surging-133000324.html
TORONTO, May 6, 2025 /CNW/ - A new national study from Money.ca reveals that Canada is facing a mounting debt and delinquency crisis, with average non-mortgage debt rising and delinquency rates spiking sharply across the country. The findings from Canada's Rising Debt Crisis shed light on growing financial vulnerability among Canadians, fueled by inflationary pressures, high housing costs, and rising interest rates.

No wonder the government is getting behind programs like MAID. When people's backs are to the wall, a few timely injections can stifle much of the wails of anguish and the government can tax the shit out of the deceased estates.

So glad I got out when I did.

Canada is becoming a world leader for some dubious distinctions like medical assistance in dying.

The core of Canada's financial predicament lies in its staggering household debt. Canada's debt to household disposable income ratio has been nearly 200 per cent for years now. A figure that places it in first place among G7 countries.

As bad as Canadian health care is, it will get much worse. It is unsustainable.

I have clients that have or will go to the US or abroad to get the care they cannot receive in Canada. It does not have to be this way, but collectively we would rather bankrupt the system rather than reform the Canada Health Act. And I mean all the federal parties including the Conservatives.

Canada is the only country in the G7 with more consumer debt than our GDP.

Sweetie, remember I explained to you this morning after you blew me that it is people in Canada that will need guns and know how to grow their own food.

Mr Carney and the Liberals have sacrificed Canada's economy on the WEF alter. Canadians can't afford to eat properly.

Meanwhile Mr Trump's American economy is growing faster, producing jobs while Canada sheds jobs and economic growth.

Each day Canadians give up and are counted among the ranks of the homeless because Mr Carney and the Liberals have sold out Canada to globalists.

I don't suspect hard times are coming for Canada because they are already there. Will Canadians pour across the border in search of jobs and a better life because Mr Carney has taken it all away? I would not be surprised Sweetie.

This was written by a former Liberal strategist who is disgusted with today's Liberal Party.

Carney's stunning plan now to actually increase spending will both accelerate inflation and push the international value of our currency down once more.

"This spending spree means Canadians' kids and grandkids will be making payments on Ottawa's debt for the rest of their lives."

Unlike the US where Congress and the president are trying to make life cheaper and put more money in the hands of Americans, Carney's does the opposite and will slow our pitiful growth even further.

A Liberal friendly economist is recommending the Carney government increase the GST to pay for the mountain of debt he plans on adding. This is in addition to their economic advisors recommending an appreciation tax on Canadian homes.

The US is lowering taxes and encouraging investment to spur rapid economic growth to pay the bills. Canada is doing the opposite. Which path do you think will lift more boats.

Quote from: Herman on July 08, 2025, 02:18:13 PMThe past ten years have been expensive for folks. Conman Carney aint changing that.

He is going to accelerate it with more crony cash, higher taxes and sluggish growth.

Mark Carney wants to ban new gas and diesel vehicle sales by 2035 and you must act now before it's too late.

This ban could cost taxpayers like you nearly $300 billion by 2040, according to a federal report. And that doesn't even include the impact of the skyrocketing cost of electricity.

For families already struggling, this is the last thing they need. More taxes, bigger electricity bills, less affordable options at the car dealerships.

The CEOs of Ford, GM and Stellantis say families will be stuck with fewer, more expensive and less reliable options, especially since Ottawa wants one in five cars sold to be electric by 2026.

Carney is charging ahead anyway.

Opposition MP Melissa Lantsman tried to scrap the ban by pushing a motion in Parliament, but government MPs shut it down.

Carney is so deceitful. He is going to run two budgets to hide the massive deficits he will be adding to our national debt over the next four years.

Meanwhile, South on the border President Trump's tariffs which I supported produced a surplus in the month of June. It was not just the tariffs. The DOGE cuts to waste helped too.

QuotePart of the Liberal campaign platform was a plan to split the federal budget into two budgets — an operating budget and a capital budget.   

Carney may very well be seeking savings on the operating side, but he has also signalled plans to ramp up capital spending, which could still mean major increases in the federal debt. 

The C.D. Howe Institute is wary of that exact possibility.   

"The large deficits projected...cannot be downplayed or disguised by dividing the budget into two new categories — operating and capital — and targeting a balanced operating budget only, as proposed in the election platform."   

Among the many problems created by presenting two separate budgets is that it would allow Carney to add all kinds of new spending over the next four years and simply label it capital spending, all the while pointing to operational spending cuts and an improving picture there.   

But that's like cutting back on spending on one credit card but spending more on a second. 

Ultimately, the bill must be paid, no matter which taxpayer credit card Carney chooses to use.   

Ahead of this fall's budget, Carney would be wise to drop his plan for budget gimmicks and stick to a single plan that includes real savings and clear spending cuts. It's time to end the party with taxpayer money and return to the Chretien consensus that balanced budgets matter.

Quote from: Shen Li on July 14, 2025, 08:44:55 PMIs it ever. How the fuck does Carney get away with this.

Propaganda I'm guessing. I also wouldn't rule out election interference.

If the Trudeau years were remarkable for anything, it was the speed and carelessness with which the Liberal government spent money — taxpayers' money.

The Liberals increased the size of the federal budget to well over $500 billion in just 10 years from $281 billion in 2015 — a staggering 93 per cent increase.

If they had allowed federal spending to increase by just the amount of population growth and inflation during that decade, the figure today would be about $363 billion, but it's closer to $540 billion.

So even after accounting for inflation and population growth, the Trudeau government increased the size of the federal government by well over 40 per cent. That even includes the way they let immigration and rising prices both get way out of control.

So when federal public-sector unions, like PSAC (the Public Service Alliance of Canada) start threatening that essential services will be cut if the Carney government touches even a dollar of public spending, don't listen.

Carney is an elitist who hates the entire working class so I expect he will cut transfers to provinces for health care instead of firing prog civil servants who serve no purpose for Canadian workers.

Most nations are heavily in debt Shen Li Shen or have leveraged their economies.

Only perhaps a handful like Norway, Switzerland & Singapore have stellar balance sheets with AAA credit ratings.

Maybe Canada still makes that list because of its abundance of natural resources and a relatively small population to support.

But as you point out Canada might not be as well managed as the top 3.

Australia is also AAA and its debt to gdp ratio 8s considerably lower.

This topic is about Canadians being among the most indebted consumers in the first world. After a decade and counting of Liberal mismanagement Canadians are among the most indebted consumers in the developed world.

The consequences of this are that Americans are now about forty percent richer than Canadians. About twelve years ago they were roughly equal.

Rapidly growing debt without growing the economy is a one way ticket to developing world status. Just ask Argentina about that. And this is why Canada's problems are particularly acute.

I also should mention Canada is not honest about how they account for debt. Liberal Party governments offload federal debt to the provinces in the form of reduced transfers.

Understand now Honeybuns or should we jump in the sack first.

Another reason why Canadians are broke.

Trudeau blocked an investigation into some of his MP's who were getting election help from China.

Our country has become a joke.

This Liberal regime is trying to destroy middle class prosperity. Mr Carney was appointed to make a lot of money for himself and his fellow investors and then he will be gone. Mark my words.

No Carney is trying to deliver the pipelines & natural resource extraction you want so they can benefit people like you,  hey Herman Herm?

It's a middle class destroying carbon tax in all but name.

That was pretty obvious Pete, but the Liberals did not care then and they do not care now.

Younger working age Canadians are going to hate old white Canadians for giving this awful regime a fourth term.

I think the RCMP is spot on that there is going to be mass social upheaval in Canada as Ottawa continues to destroy the economic and social fabric that held Canada together.

Not even a change of government in Ottawa will make much difference anymore. It's too late for that now. The Canadian dream we immigrated to Canada for in the 90's is over and it'll never come back. I'm sooooooo fucking glad we got out when we did.

That's why older Canadians like myself have decided to retire now 'stead a later, eh Shen Li Shen?

Somehow me thinks this retirement honeymoon caint last eh Shen?

Better ta git the benefits now rather than later.

Anyway people who think they kin sit around do nothin for 20 years & think theyll have enough in retirement are livin the pipe dream Shen.

Our Grandparents & ancestors used ta work till they dropped dead eh?

Carney made official what we all knew: he's not serious about approving a new pipeline. He effectively ruled it out when he said he's not going to amend the consultation process.

Bill C-5 which the Conservatives voted yes on will get some crony capitalism green projects built that benefit a very few wealthy friends of the pm but will not create jobs and build provincial and federal coffers. Canada's economic slide gains speed.

Kid I am glad I live on a farm and I am armed.
Old Lokmar talks about a civil war in the US. We are a lot closer to it than the US.
In about ten years every city will be like Buenos Aires twenty years ago.
Frustrated Canadians who cannot afford rent food transportation and clothing take it by force from those that can.

If I lived in Canada, I'd be buying as many Ar-15's and AK-47's as I could on the black market! I'd also be transporting ammo from America to Canada by any means!

In Ontario and Quebec gun crime is exploding and all of the firearms used in crime are black market. What did Mr Trudeau do about it and what is Mr Carney doing about it? They are banning legal firearms. :crazy:

All the rural folks I know are armed to the teeth. Mostly if any chugs show up uninvited on their properties. But, if shit goes South in Canada and it will, they are ready. Hopefully Alberta and Saskatchewan are out of Canada by then.
