    2026 Wildfire Season

    Would be nice to stand up a federal firefighting service. The military shouldn't need to be doing this. Royal Canadian Wildfire Service, RCWS?

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    You can say the house is on fire all you want, but you're doing a disservice if you don't inform people the fire is out. Again, post all you like, it's a free country. But don't think you're above ridicule when people call out the garbage (<----the videos, not your actual posting) you're...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    Yeah, that's not news. Who is talking about celebrating? I'm talking about reporting it. Again, posting a video about how canada gained 75k jobs isn't celebrating. It's news. The fact the channels you watch don't do it means they are simply rage farms, built to keep people angry and...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    I can post a dozen articles where the CBC is critical of the government. Is there a slant, yes, clearly so. But they also report the NEWS. Hey, Canada's GDP is up. Hey, Canadas GDP is down. Hey, Canada gained 75k jobs. Hey, Canada lost 100k jobs. I have been looking for weeks, Juno news, Rebel...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    I'm still waiting for any of these news youtube channels to post about anything good happening in canada. Because all of them were posting videos about recession, yet conspicuously none have posted a single video about recent good economic performances. It's almost like....they aren't news...

    The only give is to cut sectoral tariffs down to the lowest levels in American trading world, but thats not a really big give. And it sets the precedent for CUSMA that tariffs are acceptable. I mean, if he can get a deal, get it, I guess, but I wouldnt lose sleep if either side decides to...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    My guess. USA is done with this, pulls back, pretends it didn't happen, Iran doesn't strike anything else, the Oman Iran strait deal goes into effect, and life goes on, except Iran is in a better financial situation going forward.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    They could but lets be real here. Lets evaluate. And most of them have not struck back. They always have, since 79. More importantly they have shruged off the might of American air power so what is the USA left with? Russia might be losing blood but as long as they can supply Iran with...

    How much of that is due to the bump in GDP due to the Iran war? Assuming that war doesn't go on forever, I imagine oil prices will go back down, as will aluminium and potash. Which isn't to say Canada is screwed as a result but slower growth might want to be factored in.

    3ish is probably a little too optimistic, anything above 2 I would consider a success. As for the opposition....something something, committees.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I don't know where you are getting your polling, but according to the aggregators the Dems are not struggling at all. And Trump is historically unpopular, so I doubt republicans will even come out to vote. MAGA yes, but republicans on a whole? Independents? No.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Yeah, if Trump goes ahead with these tariffs on the 19th, Carney is flat out saying there can be no further negotiations going forward, that Canada and Canadians will not give any more concessions or negotiate. I almost hope we do not get a deal.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Booze bans were in response to sectoral tariffs. If Carney is able to negotiate the sectoral tariffs down to the lowest tariff rate of any of Americas trade partners it might be enough for the provinces to get on board, however reluctantly.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-u-s-booze-bans-trade-negotiations-9.7299529 So from what this says, and what I've gleamed from Katie Simpson, Canada is looking to offer booze bans, auto tariffs and dairy quotas in return for the new tariffs not coming into effect and getting sectoral...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Canada added 75k jobs. America just lost 23k jobs. Seems like those tariffs are not having the effect the Americans seem to think they are having.

    Okay, so we are officially running hot in every economic metric that can possibly be measured. I think this starts going past being circumstances and starts entering the realm of those in charge of the economy getting results. I think the only part we are not doing the best is inflation being...

    I like how you frame the narrative to get the response you like. Maybe ask google AI the benefits of decreasing the value. Or maybe ask google AI the risks in increasing the value. Or maybe don't outsource your critical thinking to AI, that would be cool too. Yet exports rose more in...
