Hopefully not. We need a loan like Haiti got got from France 250 years ago. They now have independence as long as they are shunned worse than Cuba and Iceland combined. The majority there say it was worth it.
Perhaps we should take in the UK as the 11teenth Province, the red-headed step-child if you will.

Nobody likes taxes and the carbon tax is an economy killer.

Without question.

I can see that Trudeau and the Liberals are sacrificing the environment (and taxpayers) for big business but I do not think it will be enough to bring back foreign investment and Canada is dependent on that at this time.

Carbon Taxes are economy killers... nailed it Pete.

The doggie enjoys his order of Dried Ribs so there is a silver lining when the check doesn't bounce.

If the quarterly carbon-tax gift payment comes through as promised the dog gets something as a treat that she would not get without said deposit being made. Full stop.

I think I know why all the school textbooks have the US and Canada and Mexico are missing. They don'y want us to find out that we exist for fear we might start talking and that is never good for sheep's owners.

Forgot his pills...........................again!
Of course I did Dear. You should try it sometime.

Remember the song "We are the World"? One helluva lot of them believe that.

Foreign investment in Canada is on the decline.


“Canada is relying on the kindness of strangers to plug that current account deficit and you can see that the portfolio flows are moving in the wrong direction,” said Mark McCormick, North American head of FX strategy at TD Securities.

Apparently Putin has enough Tundra so there goes any hope of annexation back to our country of origin. Not many options left.

Canada needs more than Tundra.... it needs Foreign Investment.

The news out of the Great White North is that Foreign Investors are pulling up stakes in disastrous numbers.

Does Justin have a plan?

Crash us so hard we will apply to be repatriated to, . . . wait for it, . . . France.


Jack Frost is still the king above the 55th.

Smoke a joint and let the economy wander aimlessly.
Which came first?

It appears they quit singing too soon, we still lose 25,000 children a day needlessly.

In a progressive dream world maybe
Not really what this place is about, progress seem to be a timed event. How long can you stay in one spot without learning anything new. So far we 'own' the top 5 spots.
