Mad_Cyril The stars aligned, basically. Conservative leader was awful (he lost his seat in his own riding), but people were sick of the the Trudeau liberals for good reason. Trudeau stepped down, Trump is a cunt, Trump created an economic and sovereignty threat which pulled Canadians together against him, Carney steps in with a strong economic background, Conservatives double down on anti-woke rhetoric and looked like they were going to be more sympathetic to Trump’s bullshit —> liberal minority.

That’s it in a nutshell. Probably a best case scenario given the options.

      Carney comes across as not being one to fuck around too, which is useful currently

          Apparently Ontario who control off licences in their state (or whatever it is) have banned US alcohol. Like it.

            Mad_Cyril That’s the impression I get. He’s calm, speaks in comprehensible sentences, has a strong background in economics. Plus with a minority, he’ll have to prove that he can do the job before he gets full control.

            Along_the_Wire Most provinces have done the same. Tourism to the US is way down too, seems like most people are trying to at least limit purchases from american companies. We’re a generally pissed off bunch at the moment.

                        Smallman1 You’re right. I need to up my strategisationism and focus on the FTSE low cost index numbers, they were peaking at 0.58% only last week which means the market has said NO to the whales, think small but also think big.

                          Lol!

                          You got it!

                          Trump playing 5D level 7 dementia chess has got me STOKED for the future!

                                  This is a great listen, its a pity DuScurvy isnt around to critique it from another dimension

                                  Wtf

                                  We can blame Trump all we want and he deserves it, but the Republican Party is entirely complicit in everything that’s happening.

                                    It’s like there all frightened to stand up and say anything against him. Is he really that thin skinned

                                        Dubman I think they’re scared of getting primaried out in 2026 by the crazies in the base if they go against him. Until either Trump is so unpopular that his base starts to revolt or the democrats take the house and senate in the mid-terms, it’ll just be more of the same. They seem to be happy with power, the constitution and people’s quality of life don’t factor in.

                                          Looks like Waltz is out after 102 days as National Security Advisor. At least he got passed the high bar of 27 days set by Flynn in Trump’s first term.

                                          Taking up back to our glorious past!
