Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

Germany is trying to find 500 BEuros to invest in defence. At the same time it is trying to miltarise its society, save its auto industry and convert it to weapons manufacture.

South Korea has been supplying the world with ships, cars, TVs and smartphones for years. Its population is highly miltarised. It is armed to the teeth and its domestic supply lines are all open and running efficiently. And people are willing to pay for wjat they have and they know.

Advantage South Korea.

All the more reason we should buy from them, subs, arty, tanks, etc the availability rate of K2s suggests we wouldn't have the supply chains issues we do with Leopard

Nor should they. A little bit of childish "he said/he said" isn't reason to disclose the details of private diplomatic discussions.

100% agree.

Carney admitted the first time he apologized to Trump for that article. If he said he didn't walk back anything he said I'm inclined to believe him.

which tax policies are you referring to? we have some of the lowest corporate and capital gains taxes in the G7. History also shows decreasing taxes on businesses has not translated into increased investment

of course not. When a country takes a decade to replicate what they did 40+ plus years before in (what) 9 months (the pipeline) and spends 10 times the original estimate in doing so, no responsible money manager is going to choose that country in which to invest. We invested in Canada and our investments barely kept up to the cost of living and those were the good years. 5 years ago we decided enough was enough and chose to invest off-shore. Since then we have averaged 14% real growth per annum. Our P.M. has burnt a lot of carbon jetting around the world and having his picture taken with foreign leaders. I have heard and read a lot of promises and plans but natives are still boiling water, there are no improvements being put in place between Winnipeg and Churchill, no pipelines going anywhere and no shovels in the ground. The only province with a positive housing market seems to be Alberta and the only projects being fast-tracked are the ones that were already approved. yada, yada, yada.

theres more to the world then mega projects, there are other investments, and the last time during the harper years, when corporate taxes were cut to where they are now. We saw no major increases in investment, thats just not how companies actually do things at all, infact unless theres a tax break, many dont. including areas that dont need environmental reviews etc it just doesn't materialize, long gov record or not

That ... is ... cool. Says the man just coming in from the 8th time this season that he's used his significantly less expensive but handraulic snowblower to clear his own driveway.

My electric leaf blower has done sterling work three times this year.

I have experienced both "dry cold" snow and "lake effect" snow.

Advantage -40.

 

[RangerRay]

and this is on businesses, using and in many cases exploiting things like the TFW program, lobbying government and other programs for cheap labour rather then investing in canadians or the business. The provinces haven't helped the situation either, but good on the gov to be finally trying to turn this around and focus on generating growth and jobs

FTFY

Unless you're outside in it.
