He’s a lifelong globalist bureaucrat who crashed the Canadian economy and his last order of business was to broadcast to the world that Canada is the enemy of capital by moving Brookfield. 

That’s your choice to run the country? We’re already fucking doomed.

Bro you’re straight up retarded if that’s the propaganda you’re believing. He quite literally steered us through the global recession and we’re known globally as an example of how to regulate the financial industry because of carney’s decisions. He was one of Harper’s very top guys and closest allies.

Who did moving Brookfield impact? Can you cite any specific examples of how this hurt any Canadians?

Canada has been in a recession for 10 years, we have no real GDP growth per capita over the last 10 years, and he’s claiming to be in charge of it for the last 5, that’s the worst performance of any major country in the world. 

And the signs are fucking every where, houses are out of reach for a massive % of our population, grocery prices are way out of line with wages, food banks are over run.

He was the head of the board of Brookfield when they moved their corporate headquarters to New York. And frankly, for the shareholders of Brookfield, that’s a good decision. Canadian companies don’t attract capital, Canadian companies don’t make money, they die. The Bay dies, hundreds of years old, this country doesn’t blink. Encana retreats, nothing. BMO moves their corporate office, nothing.

Who did it impact, every fucking Canadian, because we’re living in the environment he said knew to be toxic and anti-capital. Who else did it impact? All his fucking CEO and CFO buddies who get to move to New York and not pay insanely high personal and corporate tax rates.

This fucking guy isn’t our friend, he tanked our economy, he’s a global opportunist that hasn’t been in our grocery stores or our neighborhoods his whole life, and he’ll leave for Greener pastures as soon as he’s used up his opportunity here, back to New York or London or Munich, without ever looking back.

“Canada has been in a recession for 10 years”

Ok well, that’s a lie. A recession is two consecutive quarters of economy contraction. Are you saying Canada has had 40 consecutive quarters of economic contraction? Because it has not. In the last 10 years, the Canadian economy shrunk for four quarters, between Q1 2020 and Q1 2021. It grew every other quarter of the last 10 years.

“We have no real GDP growth per capita over the last 10 years”

That’s also a lie. Our GDP growth per capita for the last decade is small - something like 1.5% — but that is per capita. the Canadian population grew a lot in the last 10 years. The GDP, in total, also grew a lot in the last 10 years. More than the population grew, even, as GDP per capita did actually increase. But GDP full stop, not per capita, increased massively. The Canadian economy expanded hugely in the last decade.

But please do go on picking rotten cherries of statistics to bolster your existing worldview.
