Which city in Maryland is the most powerful city on the planet ? Inquiring minds want to know .
That article failed to mention the .68 dollar . Just some of the reason for it .Poilievre held a rally at RBC Place London just hours before he was to learn who he’ll be facing in the next federal election, which could be called as early as this week.
It was clear from Poilievre’s remarks to a crowd of about 2,500 supporters that he believes his opponent will be Mark Carney, the former governor of the Bank of Canada who served as an economic advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Carney claims three more years of deficit to invest in growing the Canadian economy, and then we’ll get right back to balance. If Mark Carney’s pledge sounds like something you’ve heard before, that’s because Justin Trudeau made a very similar commitment a mere ten years ago.
We spent a ton of money and ran up debt at record rates under the Liberals to get our economy growing again. This year alone, the federal government expects to spend $48.3 billion more than it collects in revenues. Meanwhile, Canadians are still waiting patiently for that return to balanced budgets.

When the Trudeau government came into office at the end of 2015, our economy was producing $57,491 per person (in 2017 dollars). Today, nine years later, our economy is producing $58,951 per person (in those same 2017 dollars).
Boiled down, this means that Canadians are now a whopping 2.5 per cent richer, on average, then when Trudeau took office almost ten years ago. Wow. It would seem that the promised growth, much like the return to balanced budgets, somehow failed to materialize.
Have costs for pretty much everything increased in the last 10 years, including the carbon tax, which is…a tax on everything? While the government attempted to stimulate growth artificially by borrowing and spending money, tax hikes and new bureaucratic and regulatory hurdles countervailed this by slowing down private investment.
When we account for inflation, we find that the level of investment per person across all sectors of the economy (excepting the public sector) has fallen by 8%.
While Mark Carney may use different words to promote them, his plans to grow Canada’s economy with government spending and deficits are eerily similar to those put forward ten years earlier by the very prime minister he is now hoping to “replace.”

Proroquation . Who knows ? When will Justin give another tear filled goodbye ?
“Liberal establishment has installed Justin Trudeau’s economic advisor as the next Liberal leader, to trick Canadians into giving Liberals a fourth term in power,” he said.
“He’s just like Justin, he’s more of the same.”
Poilievre appeared unfazed by Carney’s convention-night promise to do away with the consumer carbon tax, explaining his government would do away with ALL forms of the contentious tax.
“We are going to have a carbon tax election because Mark Carney has proposed to add another industrial carbon tax on top of the existing one,” he said, referencing previous media interviews where the former top banker promised to develop and enact a new system of climate incentives funded by charging large industrial emitters.
“In days, Donald Trump could impose tariffs on Canadian steel at the same time Mark Carney says a new carbon tax on Canadian steel.”

Poilievre said to expect little change when Carney replaces outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, saying he’s got the same MPs, advisors and plans as the previous administration.
“Mark Carney is trying to hide from his record over the last five years, of advising Trudeau to raise carbon taxes, money-printing inflation and blocking resource projects — all while he moved his company’s headquarters and jobs to the United States,” Poilievre said, pointing out Carney’s reluctance to elaborate on his role in Brookfield Asset Management’s decision last year to relocate their head office from Canada to New York City.
“He’s just like Justin, he’s more of the same.”

AGAR: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss? — Toronto Sun
As Mark Carney assumes the reins of the Liberal party, what indications are there he is substantially different than Justin Trudeau? I see few. He will give lip service to his being different, but it is hard to see how. On the matter of carbon tax, he not only has indicated over the years that...
Poilievre said, “My priority is to stand up for our country and our interests over here. I want to sell our natural gas to India. National Bank did a study showing that with India’s growing electricity demand, if we sold them enough gas to supply half of that demand, we can reduce greenhouse gas emission by three times as much as the total emissions of Canada because we’ll displace dirtier coal.”
He said we have 1,300 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves.
His plan is to exploit that resource, which will up our carbon output, but reduce the carbon output of India to a greater degree for an over all win for the planet, for India and for Canada.
That is not a slogan. It is a plan, and it vastly outperforms that of the Liberals. It is a win, win.
The coming election is not a runaway win for the Conservatives, it’s going to be a fight. It is a fight that we need now though, so that we can have a functional government with a clear mandate.
LILLEY: Call an election now so Canada has a government with a mandate — Toronto Sun
Canada is about to get a new prime minister sometime this week, but what we really need is an election. That could come within days, but perhaps not as soon as this Sunday as had previously been discussed. The transition from the Trudeau administration to the Carney administration will take...
Does his "plan" include how that NG will be extracted and transported?
Maybe we just have different notions of what a "plan" is.
