Certainly. But these are much slower moving things in the background compared to going from one of the fastest growing nations on earth to actively shrinking over the course of a year and a half.

We certainly can. On a whole, yes. Eh. Everything works in cycles. Trudeau was needed for when he was needed, until he wasn't. Then the country needed a Progressive conservative and the LPC gave us that in Carney and here we are. I'm sure there will come a time when we need a NDP lite PM again.

Slow moving metrics compared to headcounts.

Agreed. But we cannot have it both ways. We cannot support a shrinking population while at the same time complaining about slower economic growth.

Slowing down. It's simplified. And i agree, those issues were issues. And i agreed with it. But i cannot sit here in good faith and begrudge slower economic growth and a technical recession because of it. We are not growing. We are actively shrinking...

So Europe is meant to believe that America wouldn't fight and die for them, but would somehow be willing to trade nukes for them? Ya, okay.

If there is a rebellion... if people take up arms, when better than now to strike the IRGC as they fight the rebels? Or to shoot down any remaining air assets Iran May own? Or to tolerate a closure of the strait of Hormuz? It's already closed, nothing to lose. A closure in the future will...

If not now when? 3 months in. Yeah, forget about it.

They are actively being prevented from exporting oil, their leadership was decapitated, if not now when? Am i supposed to believe that when Iran is actively making money, and the IRGC is more entrenched that somehow that's when they will topple? Please.

Yeah, smaller pool paying for ever increasing services and whatnot. Or in this scenario, the bill for food comes due and everyone needs to pay more because that one person left. But we as Canadians decided that the LPC was bringing in way too many immigrants and throwing a bunch of other...

Did he reaaaaaaaly have any?

It's not a recession by usual metrics. This is like 10 people each having 10 dollars in a room. 100 dollars. 1 person leaves. 90 dollars in the room. Technically the room (GDP) is lower by 10 percent, but nobody is any less wealthy.

the comments in french are about the CUSMA negotiations. As for the first part, it's simple. Population growth has gone negative, population is smaller, GDP is smaller.

https://www.hilltimes.com/2026/06/02/u-s-state-department-looks-to-canada-to-offer-support-as-trump-eyes-cuba/506475/ Good freaking luck with that. No way the average canadian goes along with american expedition anymore, especially after the debacle in Iran. Especially if Europe and Mexico...

I dont think this is being discussed anywhere, but i think I'll bring it up here. I never want to hear about toppling the regime again. Iran being bombed and squeezed economically and the regime has not wobbled. It's top of the leadership pyramid taken out, the regime has not wobbled. If...

Using the handmaids tale as a manual.

Yup. Less people for the same size of pie means, in theory, more pie for everyone. Then you remember that gdp per capita is a horrible statistic that people only drag out when they think it makes the government look bad and doesnt actually reflect the wealth of the average canadian worth a...
