Our situation in Canada is dire and none of the political parties in Ottawa are taking it seriously.

Conrad Black: The nadir of our once great nation
We are, for the first time, in danger of losing our status as a prosperous and successful country

QuoteI think we should start by recognizing that this country, so rich in natural resources and with a skilled and law-abiding workforce and a generally stable social and political environment, is on the verge of losing its status as a prosperous and successful country. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) now predicts that Canada will be the poorest performing advanced economy in the world for the next 35 years if it continues on its present path. Under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada's per capita average income has increased by three per cent, from $54,154 in 2016, to $55,863 in 2022. In the same time the average per capita income in the United States rose by 12 per cent from $65,792 to $73,565. In approximately this same period, cash generated in Canada and invested outside Canada exceeded incoming investments in this country by nearly $300 billion. From the onset of COVID in February 2020 to June 2023, the number of private sector jobs in Canada increased by 3.3 per cent while public sector jobs increased in number by 11.8 per cent and public sector employees are paid 31 per cent more on average than those in the private sector. Canada now has 4.1 million public-sector employees, more than 10 per cent of our entire population. The corresponding percentage in the United States is slightly over six per cent despite that country's very large military establishment.

I like Mark. We have done business deals together. But, he does not want to make Canada great again. That is okay because his investments are making America great again.

Mr. Black is right as he usually is. Of course we can all see Canada's rapid decline. I mean everybody except my Jo Jo.

Here is another big reason why Canada will be kicked out of the rich countries club.

And another reason why our demomcracy is failing.

Thank God I live in a free country like Canada. I'm so grateful we have a competent & Democraticly minded Prime Minister like Mark Carney Mark Carney. Not like The DonaldT Trump.

I can only see your boyfriend's posts when you or Lokmar quote him. I gather he really doesn't like Canada or he doesn't care that it's first world status is in jeopardy. He supports everything that has pushed our beloved country to the edge of a cliff.

Ottawa has lost control of immigration.

Canada is on pace to bring in more than one million new people this year. Almost three million temporary residents are already here. And as many as 500,000 people are living in Canada illegally.

Ottawa refuses to count them honestly. Because of that failure, the provinces are left to pick up the pieces.

Their policies are putting more pressure on Ontario's health care, housing, jobs, education and public services.

Ontario has always welcomed newcomers. But immigration must be transparent, honest and sustainable.

Right now, it is none of those things.

This is the biggest reason the Canadian middle class is in danger of extinction. Carney is only here to make his rich friends richer.

I want to thank Joe and the entire elderly homosexual commmunity for their tremendous support.

That's cute Jo Jo.

Sweetie, when you are done counting your chocolate gold coins with the allowance I give you, look up Bill C-63 and then we will talk about democracy.

Don't forget all the closet homos in your own community at the Blue Cashew The DonaldT he Donald. They make your existence and job possible.

Does Hajdu know or care about how bad the job market is for young people? I say she doesn't give a shit and Conman Carney don't either.

This country lacks transparency too. I like Trump's DOGE office. It forced government departments to be transparent.
