Most Competitive Economies Ranking Puts Canada Ahead Of U.S. For 1st Time
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/most-competitive-economies-canada-us-164713746.html

MONTREAL ― Canada has beaten the U.S. for the first time ever in a ranking of the world’s most competitive economies, in part because of U.S. President Donald Trump’s damaging trade war with China.

Canada rose to 8th place from 13th last year in Swiss-based business school IMD’s annual ranking. The U.S. fell to 10th place, from 3rd place last year.

That’s the country’s worst performance in a ranking it dominated for decades, and marks the first time Canada scored higher in the survey that has been running since 1989.

Canada’s coronavirus deficit soaring to $343B as feds warn of ‘permanent change’ to economy

The challenge of our lifetime': Federal deficit to hit $343 billion this year

Ol' blackface banana-stuffing cottage dweller sure screwed us good, not that it's much of a surprise. Some of us predicted a bad outcome with an entitled, mentally deficient clown at the helm...but maybe not this bad. Not only did the budget not balance itself, it ended up costing us big!!

I'm sure Trudeau will try and blame the annihilation of our economy on the wu-flu, but unfortunately his performance is easily comparable to the other G7 countries. Canada spent more, yet reached the highest unemployment than any other country in the G7. sure doesn't look good for Gropey.

Don't worry revenue from oil will pay for it all.
But oil is dead . Who or what will come to Canada’s rescue . Tourism has shut down Banff and Niagara Falls so they are out .

Some good deals online right now for Banff. $350 3 days at a 4 star hotel can be booked now and used anytime in the next two years. Its usually around $1200.

I think even Bozo the banana-stuffer has closed the door on ever balancing anything or being accountable for anything. he knows full well that Canadians don't give a shit and he can get away with literally anything.

Maybe he thinks interest rates will stay low forever...the question most people ask nowadays isn't how much it costs, it's what are the monthly payments? Maybe he's under some illusion that he has as much power as the US Federal Reserve and can somehow make currency appear from thin air. Maybe he's waiting for the big global currency reset, where all global debt will be forgiven and we can all start over. Maybe he just doesn't give a rats ass.

Who knows what he's thinking? One thing that's undeniable, as long as Canadians keep enabling his insanity and supporting him our country will continue going down a very dark path. As long as the media worries more about reporting on Scheer not wearing a freaking mask at an airport than reporting about Trudeau scandal after Trudeau scandal after Trudeau scandal....we will never have even a chance to repair our broken country.

Buying them a $4.5 billion pipeline.

Ouch.

You mean the pipeline that private interest was more than willing to finance and build until Trudeau in all his incompetence intentionally kneecapped the project and caused said private interest to walk away, who was then forced to spend 12.6 billion taxpayer dollars we can't afford to save it because he's an idiot who couldn't find his a**hole with his finger, let alone protect and oversee a nations resource economy? You mean that pipe?
