That Sinking Feeling

My advice to the Conservative Party of Canada: just be patient. Your time in the sun may be coming.

Statistics Canada says the economy stalled in November and early estimates suggest a decline in real gross domestic product for the final quarter of 2025.

November saw manufacturing of durable goods hit its lowest levels since 2011, outside the COVID-19 pandemic.

Update: Even the mainstream financial media is noticing that something is not right.

Canada’s main stock index fell 1,092.61 points or 3.3 per cent on Friday.

  1. It’s all Trump’s fault!! Fight the BadOrangeMan!! Even Pierre P. agrees! VOTE Liberal to SAVE Canada!
    Canada needs NEW markets and business partners Ching, Chong, ding dongs.

    Start THROWING those elbows!!

    1. There’s some truth in that. Trump’s policies have undoubtedly harmed Canada’s economy. Mocking the idea doesn’t make it untrue.

      But Trudeau’s wretched governance is the main culprit. Carney has reversed some of that, but it will take years for the Canadian economy to get back up to steam. And he still clings onto Trudeau’s environmental policies that hamstring the country.

      1. Give me a break. Carney has done nothing, if anything he has made it 1000x worse. Morons applaud his Davos speech, even though it did nothing for Canada but virtue signaling with failing Euro crap nations who can do nothing for Canada, and can do nothing for themselves but fail.

        1. Holy crap you people don’t pay attention. Carney has…

          1. Struck 12 trade deals around world, and is working on more.
          2. Made many tax cuts, including income tax marginal rate reduction.eliminating GST for first-time home buyers, and axing the consumer (but not corporate) carbon tax.
          3, Knocked down some provincial trade barriers.
          4. Is pushing and fast tracking major projects in energy, minerals, trade corridors, and so, although these will take time to unfold.

          I’m not trying to cheerlead for Carney here, but it’s far better than Trudeau, who thought you increased the nation’s wealth by hiring more government workers.

          1. Major projects in energy. That would be “green” energy. A total waste of taxpayer money that will hurt the people of Canada for decades to come.

          2. 1. He hasn’t done anything about the most important trade deal, because that would lose him credibility with the Elbows Up retard faction (count yourself among that crowd).
            2. He sees no issue with the capital gains tax increase. 2/3 of your returns belongs to the Hunchback of Davos and his bloated top-heavy bureaucracy. That’s sure to encourage investment in an already moribund economy.
            3. Lol, you’re starting to reach.
            4. Only you would include vague promises on future projects as some sort of great achievement. Of course, that’s all Climate Carney can do – talk a dull, uninspiring, lackluster, insipid vision, and listen to the adulation from all the usual clapping seals (and marmots, apparently).

          3. Yeah. Deals with China and Canada’s fellow “middle powers,” aka geopolitical has-beens, never-weres and never-will-bes. The only country he won’t deal with is the country Canada can least afford to annoy.

            Get back to us on how Canada’s moved on from Justin when Mark is sitting in a US prison telling his cellie how much he likes watching actors pretending to be gay hockey players and simulating anal sex on TV. That’s where he belongs and you know it.

          4. OK, LibTard.
            Trade Deals? No, word salad wish lists without firm PRIVATE deals.
            Tax Cuts? LOL. Enjoy that extra $10 a month, Rat.
            Provincial trade barriers? LOL, the provinces still seethe at each other.
            There is no “fast tracking” of projects. It’s just a song and dance.
            You really are an MSM brainwashed LIBERAL troll.
            Thanks for removing all doubt, LibTard.

          5. Energy initiatives by Carney:

            o Signed memorandum of agreement with Danielle Smith to build an oil pipeline to the west coast.
            o Streamlined pipeline review process for critical projects.
            o Scrapped a proposed oil and gas emissions cap intoduced by Trudeau.
            o Extended methane emissions compliance deadlines to 2035.

      2. I know we have been trading barbs a little bit over the last few days but I must give credit where credit is due. You are 100% correct.

        Not only has Le Dauphin absolutely destroyed our economy and any potential he had, he waved red meat in front of a very hungry dog when he admitted that his destruction of the economy would allow Trump to potentially administer the coup-de-grace.

        Mr. Carney’s rigid adherence to green ideology is well known, and as you said, continues to hamstring the economy. I honestly don’t think he has a real desire to actually do what needs to be done or that he can overcome the entrenched bureaucratic inertia in third-rate canaduh.

      3. Pssst … your Net Zero fetish and institutionalized de-industrialization is the PRIMARY culprit. THAT is what every Canadian should be mocking … but instead you all keep voting for your continued eco-virtue signaling.

        But go ahead … blame Trump … virtue signal ALL of your leftism.

  2. Stalled?
    Lol.
    Foreign investment has fled Canada for over a decade.
    Even Carney doesn’t invest in his Shithole.
    Plus economists (Idiots) always include federal debt spending with GDP.
    And Trump has only put a bit of wax on the toboggan headed toward the Dystopic cliff.

  3. The Conservative Party of Canada’s time in the sun is a long way off. Liberals are at 47% in the polls. Carney’s back into “defending” us from Trump, he’s handing out increases in GST rebates, he has that “deal” made with Alberta promising (sort of) pipelines to tidewater someday, he dropped the tariffs on Chinese EVs so they would drop tariffs on our ag. products. (Yeah that ticks off Ontario because it hurts their heavily subsidized, money losing EV industry but that’s OK because he has their votes in his pocket.)

    Spring election coming and there will be a Liberal majority. Count on it.

  4. Sold all Canadian stocks in October, Converted all of the equities to be denominated in USD. 85% of the holdings are US companies. So far so good. The 15% is gold, bitcoin and US cash.

  5. Maybe once the boomers finally take involuntary maid once their offspring have had enough of them but not until then.
