Trump has said that he will take Canada over economically.

I can't help but believe that all of the Trump rhetoric flying around the election of Canada's next Prime Minister to be nothing but distractive from the real issue.

Ok, so doesn't resisting that takeover mean we should have a strong stable economy?

Isn’t it true that we want that economy regardless of the Trump or climate issues?

Our attention has to be focused on reducing our staggering debt, very poor GDP per capita and building a sustainable economy.

A deeper dive would indicate that the root cause has been the overzealous, overreach to the net zero environmental cause.

Mark Carney has a good resume;

Note items 45 through 48. In April 2021, Carney launched the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero.

Canada bought into what is essentially Carney’s global position through the Trudeau, Gibeault, Liberals.

Recently though there's this, Canada's major banks leave the net zero alliance; https://thefinancialanalyst.net/2025/01/22/canadas-major-banks-exit-net-zero-alliance-rbc-stands-alone-amid-shift/

This is potentially a good thing.

Potentially? Only if the Conservatives are elected. Not if the Liberals are.

Why? Carney will maintain the status quo. Why would he support our resource based economy when it flies in the face of his green agenda, and btw that of Brookfield Asset Management?

Is it rational to assume that he will change? I think not.

I do not deny climate change. However, in the end, if we want to have a pot to piss in or a table to eat from we have to have a few extra dollars in our pockets.

If, and when we generate some wealth, policy decisions on how and where to spend that wealth can be made.

The Canadian election is on now be very careful who you choose.
