Mad_Cyril If it isn’t obvious already, I have very little faith in any of our leaders. I’ll be voting for Carney, but I’m not sure he’s got any legitimate chance of winning. More likely we’ll end up with Trump-lite and then we’re really fucked. It seems to me that Canadian politics is just a decade behind the Americans and we know how that story goes.
Trump seems hellbent on destroying the North American economy, so we’d better be prepared to pivot really quickly (and when I say we, I mean Canada, Europe, Australia, etc.) when it comes to trade agreements. If the US is going to fully isolate themselves, it seems like a logical solution to me.
Canada has really failed to invest in itself over the last several decades. With our resources, we should have a sovereign wealth fund that is unrivaled, but we chose and continue to allow so much privatization that it undermines our future security. Once again, the problems come back to incompetent leadership and I have no idea how to fix that. When you look at what Trump is doing and the support he has for it, I really think we’re in trouble. I wish people were smarter.
