More evidence that Canadians got played in the last election.
Canada’s economy shrank 0.1 per cent on a monthly basis in April, Statistics Canada said on Friday, a slower pace than analysts had expected. The contraction was largely the result of broad-based weakness in the manufacturing sector during a month characterized by heightened trade tensions with the U.S.

My qqq ETF basket of Nasdaq stocks are UP UP 26% since the artificially institutionalized stock market sell off to symbolically show Trump’s tariffs were gonna drive the USA into a “Smoot Hawley” DEPRESSION! That’s +26% in less than 2 months. And your savant PM has driven your economy DOWN in the same period of time! Why is he STILL running your country!?
But unlike your IDIOT Socialist far-Left PM … I am a TRUE “Trump Whisperer” … and a “BIG Institutional Whisperer” … I know when TDS has addled their brains into pure stupidity
Kenji, you’re in California, aren’t you? You’re going to need those stock wins to pay for gasoline going forward. I believe you guys get .65 added to each gallon starting Tuesday. Additionally, vehicle registration costs are going up….and if you have an EV, you end up paying a road charge per mile.
I find it interesting that they slammed the ICE people with new taxes to make up for those lost to EV owners no longer buying gasoline, but then turn right around and nail the EV owners with a brand new tax to make up for something they already are about to collect from ICE owners.
And, let’s not forget that Ottaway borrowed California’s conservation program on all appliances (word for word).
Most of the sane US looks at California as a playpen of idiots with really good ideas if they were 7 years old and learning disabled. Glass houses and all that.
We already cannot pay outrageous utility costs which have spiked UP UP UP at twice the rate of inflation: Electric, Nat. Gas, Water, Sewer, and Trash are all unaffordable. I welcome the massive increases in all the taxes, fees, and PUC-authorized Rate increases.
Perhaps THEN … the people of CA will wake from their woke trance. Some say it took 4 years of the Biden shitshow to remind Americans just how much we NEEDED Trump to set things right. I’m counting on the IDIOTS in CA finally figuring it out.
However … I suspect the sheep in this State actually BELIEVE they are somehow more virtuous when they’re paying PUNISHING Taxes and Fees for their “sinful” lifestyles. Sadly … that’s more likely than anyone WAKING the hell up in this State.
Yes … I NEED the dough
Played? Au contraire. They are getting exactly what they willfully and knowingly voted for.
If only someone could have told them what morons they were being….
Performative empathy and stupidity combined with TDS is lethal. No recorded cases of recovery.
Canadians are getting exactly what they deserve, no more, no less. I’m investing in popcorn futures.
This tune is on my Sunday playlist rotation … and made me think of your PM who has to be simply Thick as a Brick
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
The tidal destruction
The moral malaise.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers
The newfangled way.
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
Your suntan does rapidly peel and
Your wise men don’t know how it feels
To be thick as a brick.
Yeah … your wise men are Thick as Bricks
How will governor Kamala do?
Booyah!
If you are questioning Kamela … then you must be a racist or sexist. Excuse me! SHE’S talking! Don’t interrupt a STRONG woman! She’s talking about how important it is to communicate and speak with one another when we talk. And that we must talk things out, such as hold peace talks with Iran. Only through speaking, can we talk about important issues confronting the marginalized in our society, such as trans athletes.
You’re right … we’re screwed … almost as badly as Canadians. Which is why I love you my Canadian brothers and sisters.
