The main benefit of the doubt is being given by a compliant media. That will continue, as journalists know which side their bread is buttered on, but Canadians will see continued decay in quality of life. The true hope for the Liberals is to make enough new citizens who have no knowledge of pre-2015 Canada. And to stay focused on the boomers, who have no knowledge of 2026 Canada.

Eventually, Canadians are going to stop believing that all our problems are caused by uncontrollable outside forces and start putting the blame where it belongs - on bad government here at home. Inflation, capital flight, stalled infrastructure, falling productivity and a devalued dollar are all homegrown problems and all we have to deal with them is The Carney running up the debt and flooding the zone with immigrants. As for Trump's tariffs, Carney isn't to blame for them but neither has he fixed them as he so famously promised. We can only hope that the country wakes up in October and Poilievere gets back in the saddle and musters up an effective opposition.

Carney and his acolytes have an agenda which relies on complacency and creating some myth that he’s our best option. Unfortunately that agenda when it starts to manifest itself in more open ways may lead to a betrayal of Canada and far too much government and far too little real world investment and productive employment. Complacency is an excellent word to describe the sheep like mentality of so many Canadians who have come to believe that big brother will look after them.

So we’ve determined Jen is the only one who gets free time at the cottage and goes to the dark places?

Spot on. I think we have faith in Carney because there are no other options. We're on something of a national Titanic, and Carney is the only lifeboat available. I don't envy him that. He is the only adult in the room....there are none in the American one. And no, we can't make concessions to them for reasons outlined by Matt and Jen several times. Time to find out what we're dealing with. I expect a 60-day extension is coming. If it doesn't, we'll cross that bridge together. The ocean is getting rougher....maybe we're Forrest in the hurricane.

Yep. Extension after extension… AKA the death of a thousand cuts. Ask any Canadian gun owner. (Paper cuts seem to be the Civil Service’s preferred torture instrument)
