Justin Trudeau was bad, but Mark Carney will be far worse

Liberals are incapable from seeing that their viewpoint is not shared by everyone, they are in their own private little echo chambers, surrounded by people that validate their "feelings"

Um, and you think you are different?
How do you propose that we work together with these differences?

Hey John Larue - re post #92
Lots for me to try to cover there, and frankly, not really worth my time. But, a few things:

Good question - having actual face to face conversations is the only way - to break down stereotypes and understand another point of view.

There is an organization in the US which seeks to get both Democrats and Republicans to talk to each other, it is actually working.
The same can work here in Canada. Here is a link to their Website:

I get really pissed off when Radio Hosts go on about Doug Ford or PP and his "far right" supporters, who maybe just want accountability and fiscal responsibility and sustainable social programs.

Radio Hosts or CBC new anchors should just play music and talk, not get outside their lane, or be actual journalists and report the news from both perspectives.
Today's so called journalists know practically zero about economics, while complaining that social programs are under threat, so voting Liberal or NDP is seen as the only viable option, which is mind blowing, when the exact opposite is true.
As a taxpayer, as we all are, I am painfully aware of the waste and over taxation of the population.
Even at the local level Toronto is full of people that literally sit and do nothing. This has been reported and discovered with GPS tracking, which was halted due to privacy concerns.
Social programs are critical, but without a strong, growing tax base, that is all under threat. It pains me that we as a country spend far more on debt interest than on Health Care Transfer Payments, while complaining that DOFO is an evil man and somehow his crazy plans for the 401 tunnel or the SPA are soley responsible for long lines at the emergency, or no family doctors. That is completely misleading.
The problem goes much deeper.
No sane person runs a household and keeps increasing their debt payments every year on borrowed money, while running out of money to pay for groceries.

PS- I'm going to say this later to squeeze. If you get most of your economic understanding from journalistic sources, you will get a cursory view of the issues. Most journalists including those on business networks don't have much education in economics. I think I have heard more than one commentator say foreign trade was a boring subject of which most of the audience couldn't discern the issues.

Ah, I see, we're discrediting journalists now because foreign trade is just so complex and boring for the average mind, right? Well then, let me save you some time, or better yet, give you a chance to revise that take.

Riddle me this: does Trump, with his stellar economics background (you know, that one course at Wharton), really have the chops to craft a tariff policy without accidentally lighting the global economy on fire? I mean, we're already seeing 20–25% price hikes on phones, PlayStations, and basically anything with a microchip. But sure, in your view, he’s the economic oracle (sorry @The Oracle, no pun intended)—unlike those pesky journalists and business analysts who at least pretend to understand global markets.

Right?
