    1. The Juice Oh come on! No answer to my question! It was simply why socialism will work this time. Are we gonna eliminate Canada’s 2% of the worlds carbon emissions and save the planet! Can’t wait to run my car on pixie dust and unicorn farts!

    2. @Mongo Like Candy I’m not endorsing the NDP because of anything socialist but I find it funny you make that argument when Canada itself is a socialist system.

      The NDP was willing to start building an entire new economy routed in green energy. That had the potential in creating MILLIONS of new jobs. They were the only party that understood our old way of doing things is OVER, hence why the entire world right now is either protesting, at war, or their economy is in recession

    3. The Juice We continue to use it millions or even billions die! We stop using it, keep in mind the amount of food we can produce is dependent on fossil fuels, millions or even billions die! Could you start compiling a list of the billions of volunteers who are willing to off themselves to save the planet!!

    4. The Juice Hey I know you mean well! How about carbon capture, carbon storage, carbon repurposing? For that we’re gonna need money!

  1. Thank the voters who voted for Blackface Trudeau and don’t expect anything to get done in Ottawa with a minority govt. The job losses will continue.

    1. @Agent Orange They should have voted NDP. But they won’t get it until they feel it. The second great depression is here! To hell with you Liberals and Conservatives

    2. @The Juice All we need is the SPEND DP running up trillions in deficit. You should take your comedy act on the road 😂😂😂😂

  2. the difference between the united states economy and the Canadian is …. deregulation ….come on Canada we don’t need more regulation we need less …

    1. Agent Orange
      Wow. You do know that only USA could be out of debt tomorrow. There money is the world currency and the petrodollar. They get one time chance at it. They can print or type the debt gone Then the world will not except there money no more. Canadians don’t get that option. We really have to pay it back. We can’t default on it as of now we pay $39 billion dollars a year in interest payments. When interest payments are bigger than the economy. Then the world bank steps in does austerity cuts to the bone. Then we will be a Third World country

    2. @Darrell we are already on the path to become the first nation on the modern history, going from one end to another. From one of the wealthiest, to one of the poorest..thanks to liberals.

  3. MOST ECONOMISTS ARE IDIOT’S if they were so smart they would all be rich. Canada is going down the crapper listening to Obama and pretty boy TRUDEAU.

  4. It was clear 6 months ago that these numbers were going to come out. It was also clear that these numbers were going to come out shortly after the election. We’re heading towards a negative gdp and ecomists were calling for small gains in jobs. Makes me wonder if economists are the weathermen of economics.

  5. We are addicted to low interest rates/ debt and mass migration.. Anyone who knows anything about finance knew this was happening.

  6. Must be easy to keep watching Canada’s economy go down the toilet in the lakes and rivers by continuing to vote Liberal government.

  7. no that was the budget that had the miraculous never before ever in the history of this country to balance itself, that is what a drama teacher believes in his make belief world.

  8. Bet we see an even bigger drop in jobs over the coming months. I’ll even predict why. PM Blackface’s big mouth at the NATO summit.
