  • Counter-tariffs just raise prices here. They were a terrible idea to start with, just like tariffs are in general

    No they aren’t, blanket tariffs the way Trump is doing it is stupid, but counter-tariffs on American products that can be replaced with made-in-Canada products works and helps keep jobs in Canada.

    The digital services tax was on its way out even before Trump was elected

    This is also wrong… the Digital Services tax was introduced as a Liberal priority all the way back in 2020 and passed in 2024. It probably would have been repealed by Pollievre if he won, but Liberals repealing their own years-in-the-making policy, a day before going into effect as an act of appeasement to Donald Trump was definitely not inevitable.

    China likes kicking people when they’re down so we got restrictions on ag products just to twist the knife.

    Their tariffs on us are counter-tariffs in response to us imposing a 100% tax on Chinese-made solar panels.


  • True, it’s like a hostage situation. Conservatives threaten to harm trans kids, or immigrants or whatever, and Liberals say “you’ll have the vote for us if you want $(minority group) to live, but don’t worry, you can vote your conscience next election”, then never do anything to actually protect those minority groups in law, so the cycle repeats next election.

    Liberals will never give real protection to vulnerable people because they want them to be constantly under threat of the Conservatives to keep the left from voting for the actual left-wing parties that WOULD give those groups protection that isn’t subject to the whims of whatever party is in charge. Diabolical.





  • Liberals got elected on a platform of divorcing the Canadian economy from the Americans and rejuvenating the Canadian economy through nation-building megaprojects from coast to coast built with Canadian natural resources. What do we have so far?

    • No announcements on any megaprojects

    • No homes built, instead just a big tax giveaway to developers

    • all counter-tariffs on the US dropped to appease trump

    • digital services tax repealed to appease trump

    • despite appeasement, no end in sight to US trade war

    • Also started a trade war with China for no reason, so we’re getting spitroasted by tariffs from both superpowers

    • austerity programs at Canada Post leading to the 2nd strike in a year

    Unfortunately I don’t think the NDP or BQ have the balls to topple the government this early, but Carney came into office looking like a MVP and he’s a big fat bust.
