@jppl1979 @lamphieryeg So set the calendar to 2065 and then I can criticize? They certainly take a bow whenever there is good news.
English
@mattwing1973 @lamphieryeg It depends on which policy… if you are talking of personal residence and real estate being so much of our economy, you might have to go back to the tax reform of 1972… different Trudeau back then.
English
So you're saying the same Liberal party that delivered this ⬇️over the past decade can fix it by connecting cities that have a lower GDP per capita than Alabama? Sorry. Your math isn't mathing. 😉
English
@jppl1979 @lamphieryeg It's only been 11 years and 4 elections. When can we start blaming them directly for these outcomes? Can you give me a date so I can book it in my calendar?
English
What you fail to grasp Gary is that a decline in GDP was in part due to the liberals but also in part due to policies put in motion long before Q1 of 2015… just like the growth in the 1990s was in large part due to sound economic policies of the Mulroney years.
Were the Trudeau years good for the Canadian economy? No, absolutely no doubt. Was it the only contributing factors? No. We have collectively failed to address productivity for 40 years.
The economics of a country the size of Canada is like a cruise ship, takes a while to turn.

@ItsDeanBlundell Isn't it more efficient for the "grocery lobby" to give to the party that's in charge for the last 11 years?
English
Andrew Scheer and the Conservative Party of Canada take millions of dollars in donations from the grocery lobby and Canada’s Grocery Oligarchs to oppose feeding Canadians for less.
Worth fucking remembering.
God, I hate this disingenuous, gooey, lying fuck.
Andrew Scheer@AndrewScheer
Images from the last time someone thought it would be a good idea for the government to run grocery stores: Breadlines, and empty shelves. But I’m sure this time will be different, right comrades?

@jppl1979 @MarcLevesqueEco @RomanFisher__ A sole proprietor might disagree. Having to do a income tax return and then a GST return is added overhead. Lots of people have gotten in trouble for GST issues via ignorance or poor education. My minimal GST reporting is an extra nuisance. But overall you are prob correct.
English
@mattwing1973 @MarcLevesqueEco @RomanFisher__ Still serves US well, way less expensive to administer and less litigation and audit costs than income tax or corporate tax… it way more simple
English
@jppl1979 @MarcLevesqueEco @RomanFisher__ Flat tax proponents include Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. Good company indeed!

@mattwing1973 @MarcLevesqueEco @RomanFisher__ That an example of a conservative tax policy that isnt a populist enough for reformist idiots

@CanadasLeafs @Verbalfury unfortunately I think its more people than you believe.
English
@Verbalfury The NDP could write the book in making yourself unelectable. I have often thought the far right is way out of touch with regular people but these guys are every bit as out of touch or more. Like, don’t they know any regular working people? Nobody normal thinks this way.
English
This honestly looks like a satirical skit. These people are out of their minds and thoroughly unelectable. Keep playing your little equity games, donkeys. 😂

HAPPENING NOW: Thus ends Day One of the 2026 NDP leadership election convention. The party delegates' primary concern — up to the very last speaker — remained the "equity cards." I am excited to see what modifications are made to the system and how this unfolds on Day Two.

@Citizen004 @TorontoStar @CommunityNotes Bartlett relocated to LA. So I guess its technically true to call it a US podcast. But its spirit is UK. Bartlett is a curious guy I listen to it from time to time.
English
If the @TorontoStar doesn't get @CommunityNotes attention, I'll eat my hat.
The Diary of a CEO is a UK-produced podcast hosted by British entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, not a U.S. one. This episode was recorded in Los Angeles during Poilievre's U.S. tour.

@jppl1979 @MarcLevesqueEco @RomanFisher__ Too much of a good thing 😉? The GST was a superior tax vs the old manufacturer's tax it replaced. I am not sure if we should call it "good". But spending requires revenues and it probably served us well before 2020.
English
@MarcLevesqueEco @jppl1979 @RomanFisher__ I agree. The politics around the GST is fascinating. Harper lowering it was good politics but perhaps not good econs. Raising the GST 4-5% points would go a long way to balancing the budget and I expect this to happen at some point given spending promises (Rail/Military).

@MarcLevesqueEco He may have done it, and was the first PM, but I bet it was there was someone else who started the rhetoric and we copied it. Chat GPT implies the idea started with FDR, but the term started to show up in Reagan/Clinton speaches. If it was Martin, he would deserve this:

1. Corporate subsidies are not « investments ». Picking winners at the expense of others is not « investing » 2. Most job creation claims are seriously inflated because they assume that the labour falls out of thin air — that the people would otherwise be unemployed.

@jppl1979 @RomanFisher__ LOL I didn't and if they called her that, its great, it's still funny!
English
@mattwing1973 @RomanFisher__ Do you remember what happened to his minister who resigned over it… also referred to as Tequila Sheila
English
@jppl1979 @RomanFisher__ I remember what happened to the last Liberal who promised to abolish the GST. He got a majority, didn't abolish it, apologized for not doing it and got another majority.
English
@RomanFisher__ You seem to forget what happened to the last conservative who suggested that?

@AntiTrumpCanada I was reliably told high gas prices is good for the environment, as it forces people to use less fossil fuel and choose eco friendly alternatives

On behalf of Canada, just wanna say: great job Donald Trump, you fucking piece of shit.
