He’s “announced” a lot of plans. It’s imperative to keep an open mind, but at some point results need to be seen. As food inflation numbers out today show, the most important part of sustaining human life is becoming ridiculously more expensive by the month. Carney is already sending 12 million Canadians extra money, borrowed money, mind you, to help people feed themselves. This announcement today is yet another that will require billions of dollars to implement without providing any indication where the money will come from. Speeches and announcements show a government trying to project optimism but without tangible results soon, all they are is fodder for a campaign brochure.
Sadly, the beautiful people of Cuba have been increasingly and progressively victims of the communist revolution of 1959. I have visited Cuba many times over the years, and the staff on the resorts reveal that what is seen on resorts is Not what the Cubans live and experience off the resorts in poverty. They are afraid of reprisal if they disclose the repressive and oppressive regime that they have been suffering under. So many have tried to Flee over the years in the hope of a better life and opportunity. Communist China is integrally embedded in Cuba. Do you really want Communist China infiltrating Canada under Carney whose first loyalty is not Canadians?
Everybody wants a handout. If you have to work for something, and earn it, it has value. That is especially true of an education.When I went to university, I took a degree that actually led to a professional designation and a career. I worked 2 jobs in the summer and 2 part-time jobs during the school year at the university. OSAP loans paid for the balance. And, on graduating, I paid back those student loans with interest. Life turned out just fine. There are many others out there who did similar things. It's just how people did it. And most of us were first generation Canadians, whose families worked hard and had little to nothing in savings or "extra" cash.They would all tell you it was difficult at times, but whining about not being given a handout (i.e. a grant) didn't accomplish anything.Quit complaining about not being given everything for "free" - because nothing is "free".
I have a different view about Carney. He is not in this for the money or power. He did not need the job and stepped in to save Canada. At least the money being spent are investments within Canada. Unlike Trudeau where he was throwing our money around the world trying to buy himself a seat on the UN council.
Carney is all talk no action. The only action Mark Carney has taken is to enrich Brookfield. Remember when Carney said judge him by grocery prices, I'm sure you all go to the grocery stores. Remember when he said he was the best negotiator, he said he would get us the best deal with the US. than he'd told young people they just have to make sacrifices. All talk and no action. He's doing nothing but promises and MOUs, Sorry but talking doesn't pay the bills, doesn't enrich a Country. Liberals have been promising for 10 years we'd have the strongest economy in the G7. What are they waiting for? Zero results. A country that has to give rebates for food is not a strong country.
Name what Carney has done to move Canada forward? Make life more affordable? Lower the price of groceries, housing? Make companies want to invest in Canada? Have companies come/stay in Canada to create jobs? What is Carney actually done? half prices on a bridge out east? 10 dollars rebate for groceries that most of Canadians don't get.
It snowed less than 3 cm and is not expected to get any more than another 2-3This is Northern OntarioThis is not A SIGNIFICANT WEATHER event no matter what the City Board of Works wants us to believe
Since the 1960's, various Liberal governments have neglected defence spending and the Canadian military. This was never more true than under either Trudeau prime ministers. Heck, we even had issues selling a few troop carriers abroad a few years ago - becuase of objections from the Left including many Liberals.Now Carney wants us to believe that they (he) has had an epiphany. He wants us to believe that Liberals are going to spend billions on defence and sell our capabilities to the world. Sorry, not buying it.It makes for great phot-ops (I can hardly wait for Sheehan's talking points to be regurgitated by him any time now). But let's be honest. Carney is still a Globalist and still harbors their beliefs. He still believes in open borders, keeping oil in the ground and disarming the civilian population. The new leopard has not changed his spots. There will be a bunch of tax dollars that end up being spent - but I doubt it will translate into new Canadian jobs.
Taxing the wealthy seems like a great concept for those who chose to do nothing and blame everyone else. No government should take more than 50% of a person’s income.
I'd like to downsize, but the cost of smaller homes and condos is almost as much as what I have now.If the equity in your home is part of your retirement funding strategy you may find it hard to put money in your pocket when you sell and downsize.
I didn’t qualify for a single loan or grant when I was student, my father on strike the summer before I started college. I worked while I went to school, and I saved every penny in the summer when I worked full time. You know what I didn’t do? Complain I wasn’t getting government help.
