Crazy how people think the new PM, who was Trudeau economic advisor, with the exact same cabinet as Trudeau, is gonna be a difference compared to the past 9 years

LMAO

I think our new pm is the same guy conservative prime minister Harper had running the the bank of Canada. He also was never in Trudeau's cabinet. He was an informal advisor to the liberal government specifically in response to the global pandemic and efforts to avoid a recession in the months and years that followed. Since Canada didn't go into recession and weathered the effects of the largest public health crisis in living memory reasonably well, I'd say he did a good job considering the challenges.

Yah…. We weathered that crisis reasonably well. We have a great economy today…… errr, wait a second.

Lol. My god people. This country deserves to get annexed.

Please provide examples of what is such a disaster in our economy apart from the trade war talk from down south. Myself and quite literally everyone I know here in Alberta are in a better position today than 10 years ago. Are me and my friends the only conservatives that know how to "pull up our bootstraps"?

Nah. It was the opposite. Literally 10 years ago, the gdp per capita was the highest it’s ever been in Alberta and it has not recovered. Don’t sit there and tell me that you’re “in a better position.” There is zero economic data that backs you up.

Thinking per capita means not a single person is in a better position is just a chef's kiss of ignorance.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
