Canada’s deficit went from 78B to 66B.
How come nobody is talking about this?
Canada is literally winning right now and all I’m hearing is @MarkJCarney is putting us in a deficit hole.
Canada is a resource rich country. This gets better.
Canada is long term bullish. 🚀

@CanadianCoffey As they should. Voting for deferred taxation (debt funded tax cuts) purely for vote buying would be a truly dumb idea.
English
Fun Fact:
95 conservative MP’s voted against the middle class tax cut last year.
230 Liberal, NDP, and Bloc MP’s voted for it.
Pee-tear-griffin@peterFethersto6
@CanadianCoffey Everyone knows liberal policies hurt the lower middle class the most. They just gas light them hand them a few pennies back to them, not rocket science
English
@CanadianCoffey Who needs pensions, mortgage insurance, bond debentures when they can dip into federal coffers.
English
Who needs a credit card when you can dip into conservative donations at a rate never seen before?
Pierre has spent more than every other party leader every year since he became the opposition leader.
This is an indication of how expensive his government would be:
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre
Is there any limit on the Liberal credit card?

@Lprochon @Smileyyeg The budget is the proof. "The deficit is increasing shockingly and rapidly"
English
@Smileyyeg Why are you saying that? It is not true, and you know it. You have zero integrity, you just say lies without any proof.
English
Even this is being kind since, in fact, the deficit is increasing shockingly and rapidly.

The liberal govt is investing $6 billion in trades programs to get people ticketed. Both the NDP and the CPC are ignoring this because they don’t actually give a fuck about blue collar workers.

@Myself9752465 They're measured differently. Also, you buy on prices, not inflation. Canada is dead beat in that regard.
English
HELLO CONSERVATIVES
US inflation 3.5%
Canada inflation 2.4%

@CurtisDer Americans haven't made their relationship with Canada their core personality. Their decency towards us is unaffected. On the other hand.........
English
Americans don't get this. The average Canadian is a proud Canadian and hates when other countries threaten our sovereignty.
Nearly 50% of American voters voted for Trump - who is categorically a terrible person. How can "decent" person look at him and go "yeah, that's my guy".
Chris Tomlinson@TomlinsonCJ
Canadians don’t get this. The average American is a fundamentally decent person.
English
@Smileyyeg Revealing yourself so willingly isn't a virtue.
English
Of course we would not jump in to sing the American anthem. There are consequences to what they have done to us, said about us.
Fuck off with that.
English
@ManyBeenRinsed @MarkJCarney Make up huge number. Come in at double the previous deficit, but lower then made up number. Have the media discuss how the deficit shrank. Lib comms 101.

“Canada looks first to the European Union to build a better world.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney
The European Union is the world’s most successful project of peace, prosperity, and cooperation.
English
@patgagnon_75 Depends on his values and track record. Certificate adoration is a weird fetish.
English
I'm going to be blunt here. When it comes to the economy. I don't know about you, but don't you think it makes more sense to follow and trust the advice of a qualified economist ( PM Carney ) over following the advice of a guy who pretends to be one on TV ( Pierre Poilievre ) ?

@CaptainDick12 Air Canada studying the terrible notion of expanding airports? Any idea why that might be?
English
2 studies done by Air Canada and a consulting firm have proven expansion of Billy Bishop Airport is a terrible idea. It would increase traffic by 400% in downtown Toronto, destroy the harbour front inside and outside the island, increase pollution and devalue condos further.

@redsnoopy69 As if that has anything to do with modern Liberalism
English
So, yes Stephen Harper and the CPC had six consecutive deficits and added ≈$150 billion to Canada's debt from 2006 to 2015.
Jean Chrétiein had nine consecutive surpluses and removed ≈$90 billion from Canada's debt...
Jason Grant@BigJGrant
@redsnoopy69 Canada weathered the World Financial crisis in 2008 because of Harper. Every year after that year the deficit lowered until Harper was voted out with a small surplus. Context is everything and you either ignorantly or purposefully left it out. Which is it?

@secondnamemean @Lopmariaz @CoryBMorgan Tiens ! Un suprémaciste US🇺🇸
Bienvenue quand même au Canada.

Has putting French on cereal boxes in Western Canada increased national unity?
Yes or no?

Canada's New Sovereign Wealth/Debt/Slush Fund
Wow just Wow: what's next Digital Currency?
Turns out Carney proposed this Fund idea to Trudeau 2 years ago when he was at Brookfield
I believe this is a dumb idea: let me break it down
English
@CanadianCoffey @dogmatta Tell me more about these spare taxes already being collected. I could have sworn we were running deficits.
English
@dogmatta The initial seed money $25 billion comes from taxes already being collected and will be invested in Canadian mining, agriculture and energy projects.
Which would have happened anyway.
Future voluntary investment would be no different than investing in a government bond.
English
“It’s actually a debt fund that’s going to be paid by Canadians against their will.”
Somebody put Lantsman’s helmet on too tight.
This is a blatant lie.
It’s really all they have at this point.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
Melissa Lantsman: "It's not really a sovereign wealth fund. In order to have a sovereign wealth fund, you've got to run a surplus. It's actually a debt fund that's going to be paid for by Canadians against their will."
English
Sassy social media commentary aside, Canada has fought harder and more successfully - often at higher cost - to defend its national sovereignty from invasive Trump demands than has Mexico under President Claudia Sheinbaum. wsj.com/world/americas…
English
You know who else ran on never running a deficit? Yes, Stephen Harper, who ran deficits every year, after blowing through the surpluses left him by Chretien and Martin.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
Pierre Poilievre on the deficit: "Let's figure out how big a mess the Liberals have made, and then I can tell you how long it will take me to clean it up ... They should have a balanced budget all the time, except for in massive national emergencies."
English
@niccruzpatane Right. And at $0.391/kWh peak, you'd better be certain not to heat your home, water, or run appliances outside of the 11pm-7am window.
Plus if everyone did this, expecting prices to remain low, the tariff would simply adjust. OEB is in the business of maintaining averaged income.
English
If you live in Ontario, Canada it honestly doesn’t make sense to drive anything else but an EV. It should be the only vehicle you should be considering right now.
With the Ultra-Low Overnight plan you can charge for just $0.039 (CDN) per kWh before taxes and delivery.
Besides using Solar, this is one of the cheapest electricity rates in the entire world.
Charging an EV at home would be practically free compared to filling up gas in a comparable vehicle.
