Budget Watchdog Regrets Calling Canada’s Fiscal Position ‘Stupefying’

Canada’s budget watchdog is walking back his most charged criticisms of Mark Carney’s fiscal policy, but says the government’s decision to drop its debt-to-GDP guideline is a major shift that warrants more public debate.

What grates on the entitled masses of mostly left leaning people in this country is that all of that needs to now be earned. How dare the US not promote, respect, nor give preferential treatment to Canada (as we rely entirely on them for our economic and military survival).

The situation has changed. Time for everyone else to adapt. Choose the path carefully, but I doubt any other country has better intentions for us than the US does.

We rely mostly on them for our economic 'survival' BECAUSE of the FTA agreed upon by Mulroney and Reagan. Do you understand that? That agreement was made, by both sides, to tie the economies of BOTH countries together going forward.

Now, which side is in the process of screwing over the other? Which side re-negotiated the morphed FTA into this thing called 'USMCA' and stood in front of the American public and called it 'the greatest trade agreement ever'?

I have no doubt that even if we had been spending 2% or just beyond that at 2.2% way back in 2015 and every year since then till today that it would NOT have mattered one bit in our trade negotiations with Trump. None.

And it you mean 'lackey' or 'vassal' or 'compliant resource cupboard to exploit at will', than Yes, I agree.

That's because the money mangers in NYC and London gave their head a shake and said, 'have you looked around the room at the others?'
