The "LOLCANADA" thread...again
So what's new?
I've noticed the Liberals are now ahead in all major polls and Trudeau hasn't even started to campaign yet...i'd be shocked if they lost the election now.
Just shows just how incompetent Conservatives are.
Yes, did you have questions about Canada's resources? Happy to answer if you need some info.
Alberta is rich in oil & gas but has seriously mismanaged their opportunities and there is a lot of doubt about the future potential of that industry beyond the next ~20 years. Independence to prioritize the short-term exploitation of O&G would make a few people quite rich and then leave the province in rough shape. Joining the states would provide some opportunity most development and quality of life in
Oh I don’t disagree Alberta has mismanaged it . I still think there is 50-100 years left .
huh? I'm saying PP doesn't deserve to be connected to Trump the way he is being.
I'm also saying that Trump's "endorsement" of Carney was transparently backhanded and that it was clearly in response to Danielle and the Maple MAGATs (note: not PP or most of his base but certainly a subset that endorses him) saying WTF are you doing daddy donald!?
So sure PP doesn't deserve the stick but unfortunately his crew of backers includes the magats. Suggesting Trump really "endorsed" Carney is hilarious.
Clearly.
lol at your semantic BS. His actions are launching a tariff trade war. Call that "what's best for the country" or whatever you want, but the point is nobody believes (except, apparently you?) that the reason for the tariffs are to SECURE THE BORDER.
As you chanted.
And as anyone could tell you was an obvious pretext.
Yes, chanted. So Trudeau and Carney got played then, or did they thread the needle perfectly as you CHANTED when tariffs were postponed.

Lol "thread the needle" really triggered you huh. When I said "threaded the needle" was that the 155B countertariff package that "threaded the needle" between being large enough to sting, but targeted to industries that minimized as much as possible the harm to Canadians. I still think this is true. You seem to have thought that "threaded the needle" meant that this guaranteed some total victory by Trudeau. Nobody thought that.
Hopefully that finally puts that earworm to bed, and we can get back to focusing on the political doofuses who got so confused by Trump they thought chanting his SECURE THE BORDER line was actually related to why he was putting on tariffs and not just a pretext.
WTF is this new TFSA bit from poilievre. As we long saw with Harper, expanding TFSA room is pretty pointless, mostly because only a couple percent of people actually max it out. And I say that as someone who loves TFSA and maxes it out Jan 1st every year and believes strongly Canadians should do a much better job of saving their money and government policies to encourage that are good. But the increases don't focus on the slice of population that needs more incentives to save. The weird part though is adding this patriotic flair of the extra 5k can ONLY be invested in Canadian things, which, uh, I'm not even sure how they plan to track that. I don't even know it is necessarily bad, but it seems like a weak sauce attempt to grab some canadian patriotism points
You do realize Canada is resource rich . Those resources pay for our welfare province Quebec
Why targeting quebec ?
Is Quebec the only one benefiting from the equalization program ?
I guess u just try to find another target to hate on for your unhappy life on someone else once Trudeau is gone ?
good read .. Kory Teneycke outlining what PP needs to do.
I do think its possible trump does want carney to win. He would prefer a left winger it would make annexing and bullying us to his base much more easy. his goal is not to be diplomatic with us so having a right winger serves no purpose. but most likely he does not care all that much

He's said he doesn't care, multiple times. Canada is in such a bad position after the last decade it doesn't matter who's in charge because it will take years to get back on track.
I just had a thought. Wouldn't it be awesome if Canada annexed Greenland?
Hey Canada... LEARN TO BUDGET and stop Suckling off the American tax payer TIT.
Trump endorsing Carney again.
National Debt per capita
Canada 76K (with universal, publicly funded, health care and reasonable university tuition)
USA 106K (with private health care and a 2nd mortgage needed to send your 1st kid to university)
LOL... Canada again.

I have lived in NS, NB, BC, NWT, ON, and and now retired in AB.
The cross-country sentiment in my experience is that Quebec is not looked upon favourably my many Canadians.
There is a general feeling that Quebec wants the best of both worlds. On one hand they are seen to want some "quasi state-like" autonomy that gives them special privileges to make their own rules. This, as if if they had some sovereignty within our sovereign nation of Canada. On the other hand Quebec benefits greatly from equalization payments, but does not seem to support important things that are in the National interests of "Canada" - like an east/west pipeline.
Also, there was a time (and perhaps there still is ) when every major Canadian gov project seemed to have to find some balance where Quebec got a chunk of something, and some other Canadian province or provinces got a chunk. How come there was so much pressure on that particular balance? Politics?? Why the Quebec/others or English/French need to balance things?
I don't agree with about 80% of Alberta politics, but one sentiment I do share is that Alberta does not have enough national leverage as they "economically" deserve, and that Quebec seems to have some sacred and long-standing leverage that does not seem to be grounded on their economic clout within the country.
At this point I don't even know what mindreading and spinning you are even alluding to. I guess this is supposed to be you being mad that Carney did that funny Mike Myers bit with "elbows up" and despite your dude being the slogan king that this is a slogan is...uh....bad....so....uh...you try to make fun of it over and over?

Elbows up!!! The liberals are going to stand-up and beat big meanie Trump and they are going to get the elbows up!!! Because you know Canadians like hockey and are tough!
But Trump and Carney agree on many things and it's going to be a great deal for Canada and USA after the election.
It was an extremely productive call, did he get his elbows up....I wonder.
So not much correlation then …
It was different time too with lot of risk for Quebec and not much reward in return…
There was the Megantic lac tragic accident about oil too at that period.
And
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Eas....
There were a number of factors that contributed to TransCanada's October 5, 2017 decision to cancel the Energy East project, including "politics, the energy market and the economics of the energy industry."[7] During the time between the announcement of the project (Aug 1st, 2013) and the cancellation (Oct 5th 2017) the price of oil had fallen from $106.57 USD/barrel to $39.40 USD/barrel. [12]
So blaming all on Quebec is fine I suppose in your world .

ah yes, so you ARE just really mad that the liberals use a slogan in an election campaign despite being utterly silent on 2 years of relentless Poilievre sloganeering, got it.
Who knows whether it lasts more than a minute with Trump (you're the Trump mindreader - you tell us!) but it seems like a possibly good sign that Trump is signaling respect and an ability to work with Carney. I'm not sure why you are being pissy about it.

- How ?
Show it to me …
- Alberta represent around 11-12% of Canada population .
They got tremendous leverage with such a low population lol.
The problem is Alberta expect to be the heart of Canada which they aren’t ….
And fwiw, Funding of that program :
“The program is funded entirely by the federal government through general revenues, and provinces do not contribute financially.”
That whole narrative is just a bad political representation of what it is and how it works ….
