  1. The last auction was a disaster… the question is, is it going to affect other countries, like canada who are offering less

  2. The sad part is that anyone running for higher office that offered a realistic solution would be unelectable. This is the part of the Tytler cycle where democracies come to their inevitable conclusion.

    1. Exactly! The majority of voters are going to vote for whoever promises the most free stuff. Gimmmeeee, gimmmeeee, gimmmeeee!!!!!

    2. Amen. There was a time – as recently as 1939 – when Canada’s adult population could accept bad news and make years of unbelievable (certainly by today’s standards) sacrifices. Those days are long gone.

      We are in our present dismal state because of greedy and selfish childishness, and that’s what is going to ensure things won’t get better.

    3. I would suggest that the western world is in the apathy frame of the cycle.
      Most of the plebeians don’t care. They get their free stuff. What happens tomorrow is a promissory note.
      They are hoping that it will last until they expire.
      Me thinks they are not much interested in what is happening.
      It’s a good day for the socialists, fascists, communists and other such ‘ists. They are in the bullpen ready to dicktate (sic).
      The recovery is going to be bloody.

  3. This is what happens when the MIC the moron in charge doesn t want to be bothered about financial matters, and hires ” tinker Bell as a Finance Minister. The town drunk will soon have a better credit rating than Canada does.

    1. With respect, no. This is what happens when a society is infantilized by big government where they make all the hard choices, i.e. healthcare etc. etc. Failure is rewarded, or at least subsidized,while success is taxed away. What else but a nation of brats would that produce?

  4. How could it be otherwise? I’m old enough to remember when the dot.com bubble burst and sub-prime mortgage market melted down; everything was “great”, right up until the moment it wasn’t. Methinks this will be even bigger than either of those.

  5. The Communist Democrats have spent us into oblivion… while welcoming 10 million new dependents. Yes … they have crashed the system. Cloward-Piven. And what’s really gonna bake their noodle is that all those w-o-n-d-e-f-u-l Green New Deal and “Infrastructure” projects you got hired for? Well … you won’t have that job soon. Poof. Gone. Broke. You’ve gamed the system till it’s gone TILT …

  7. Then (2018) CDN$100 = JPY 8522.00 (avg)
    Now CDN$100 = JPY 10,988.09

    Autos, pianos, electronics and other products from the industrious, now indigenous, ingenious, racist, delicate, and refined islands of Japan are now less costly, relative to the moribund CDN$, than they were 5 years ago.
    Hence, stored (even if involuntary) natural resources are increasing in value relative to goods actually produced from natural resources.

    The question remains – For who(m) are Canadian resources being stored ?
    Answer – Canada is a ‘native’ reservation for the EID State of America.

  8. Catching Wild Pigs
    WELL, AND TRULY SAID…THEY KEEP NIBBLING AWAY UNTIL THEY
    HAVE EATEN THE WHOLE COUNTRY…
    Catching Wild Pigs Karl Marx once said, “Remove one freedom per
    generation, and soon you will have no freedoms and no one will have
    noticed.” There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had
    some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the
    lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept
    rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor
    asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a
    bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in
    his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government
    and install a new communist regime.
    Then, the student looked at the professor and asked a strange question,
    “Do you know how to catch wild pigs?”
    The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch
    line. The young man said that it was no joke. “You catch wild pigs by
    finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The
    pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free food. When they
    are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place
    where they are used to coming. At first they are scared, but when they get
    used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another
    side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again.
    You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the
    last side. The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate onthem and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom.
    They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.
    Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that
    they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they
    accept their captivity.” The young man then told the professor that is
    exactly what he sees happening in America & Canada. The government keeps
    pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn
    out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for
    unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies,
    payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs,
    etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a
    time. One should always remember two truths: 1 There is no such thing as
    a free lunch, and 2 You can never hire someone to provide a service for
    you cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you see that all of this
    wonderful government “help” is a problem confronting the future of
    democracy in America & Canada, you might want to share this with your
    friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life,
    then you will probably not share this. BUT, God help us all when the gate
    slams shut. Think about this:
    “Most of the problems we face as a country today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living.”
    Why can’t Seattle or any other city control the rioters and looters? https://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-186432-1.html

  10. Inflation remains high yet the US and Canadian governments continue to print money.
