A country ruined
A comment from Garth Turners blog that I have been reading for years.
While everyone is counting their money, here is some words from the young Canadians struggling to come up with a reason to live and work here.
“What’s the point living here?
I am a young person born and raised in Ontario.
Maybe 5 years ago myself and all my friends had 0% chance of ever living elsewhere and now all of us are eyeing America. All of us have decent enough white collar jobs.
All of us would rather fight for the US if WW3 broke out. I would feel like a traitor fighting “for Canada”.
What is Canada anymore? Not what I was born into and raised in.
Every decision this country has made has made my life harder EVERY single year. I work hard everyday, got my first job at 14 at timmies, saved money, went to school, got educated, and now I won’t be able to afford my own home, my own piece of land…
What’s the point in staying here?
Who turned Canada into a tax farm?”
“Canada is a scam POS place to live now. Full of greed.
The world is taking advantage of our lax immigration laws, immigrants coming here are multiplying like gremlins destroying our health care and available jobs.
People glorify real estate and think it’s a good thing for it to go up faster than the rate of inflation.
The scam government controls supply and demand of real estate by turning up and down the immigration taps.
Canada no longer receives my business, no gifts, no eating out, no tipping, etc….”
“I am grooming my adult kids to leave; I’m leaving. Canada has changed from a place for educated immigrants to a place for desperate refugees/asylum seekers. We are following Frances model. Wich means taxes go way, way up and riots and chaos go up with them.
What the frak do you think is gonna happen when 4 or 5 hundred thousand brown dudes in one city are freezing and hungry and have no work?
So Canada is great…. if you’re looking for a free ride on the tax payer dollar. If you’re trying to build wealth? Go south.”

Mark Carney and his international agreements
Here is a concluding thought not raised in legacy media, as the PM prepares his next world tour to Australia and beyond. There is a recognizable pattern to the manner in which Mark Carney unilaterally makes international commitments, whether it be signed agreements, MOUs, or consensual arrangements. In essence, Carney is flying solo – adhering to his own counsel and working with his own network. Without parliamentary debate or public discussion, and one can surmise without even the Liberal caucus knowledge, Carney is forging ahead to sign significant international agreements. These agreements are profoundly realigning Canada’s place in the global community and its standing with its traditional allies. As Canadians will come to appreciate in the passing of time, the devil is sure to be in the details of those CCP, Qatar, and EU agreements.

Checked out MSM this morning as was curious to vote (When it was Carney it was "breaking news" ) and nothing so went to my old faithful SDA. Good comments.
