Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

[The Bread Guy]

He was always there. Just filtered through media.

... A CPC that represent his ideals is always going to be on its back foot against the Canadian media, not to mention the Canadian electorate.

Was it the same media that was filtering during that bit (approximately September 2022 through around March 2025) where Team Blue was way ahead in the polls, too?

That's a solid pinky promise.

it will definitely help with investor confidence, if even half of these agreements we have signed bare fruit this year, the economy will be in good shape

Is there any actual evidence of malfeasance, or evidence of exceptional performance relative to any other company? 2 minute google search shows that Brookfield Corporation and Brookfield Asset Management combined would be the 3rd largest Canadian firm by market cap. They're in the top ten for assets under management in Canada, with broad portfolios. Any positive news and growth for Canada would benefit them, the same as every other major bank and asset manager.

But if you want to get real into the weeds, Brookfield Corporation is down 6.8% YTD and and Brookfield Asset Management is down a little more than 11%. I don't know how that squares with gangbusters. Please share actual evidence of corruption (are trade deals which the majority of Canadians have been asking for corruption because a major financial player may theoretically benefit like literally every major financial player?). Or try to back away from the cancer of tribalism in politics, which I'm convinced is 90% of the reason for his harshest critics on here hating on him. If he were blue they'd be singing his praises and we can all do better to be aware of that and try to be more objective.

EDIT: YTD was probably a poor choice since it's only the beginning of march. Brookfield Corporation is actually up over 7% over the last year, though BAM is down even more, 15% over the last year.

of course there is no evidence of malfeasance. I wouldn't expect there to be apparent evidence even if there was some skullduggery. Both Brookfield and Carney have been around far too long to get caught up in that kind of scandal. The fact that Brookfield has numerous lobbyists working Ottawa who have been in direct contact with Carney on several occasions is just smoke, the result of their being old business mates wanting to meet over a social drink, and events are pure coincidence if they work in Brookfield's favour. But if all of the liberal (do nothing wrong) group can spend their time castigating Pierre when the very leader they are fawning over is drawing heavily from the conservative platform and rising in the polls as a direct result then I am certainly entitled to create my own rumours regarding the lack of moral turpitude evidenced (to my mind which is all that counts) by his actions: in particular with reference China and news where Brookfield's name just happens (strictly coincidental I am sure) to come up. As far as hating the man, consider this: he is a liberal and was chosen by the Laurentian Elite to be the new leader. That group has never changed.

My understanding is even when those agreements are signed, which seems to be the exception rather than the norm, it's just symbolic. Nothing about them is legally binding in any sence.

MOUs are never legally binding usually, its a notice of intent essentially

Sort of how it’s supposed to start…
