As some other countries already did, it seems it has come time for Canada to dissolve this dysfunctional union and form two to three new countries. Our 13 governments just can’t find the way to prosperity for Canada as a whole. We are getting poorer and poorer, while our leaders tell us everything is going well.

Nice going, baby boomers
For all those selfish baby boomers who voted for Mark Carney because they had an irrational fear of Donald Trump, they have screwed over their children, their grandchildren and, in some cases, their great grandchildren. The spending spree and the debt incurred by PM Carney will be paid down over the lifetime of several generations.

It’s Mark Carney’s dream dystopia where you’ll own nothing and be happy. As Carney, the man with the plan, goes on a spending spree, one thing he never says is how he’ll pay for it all or from where the revenue will come.
