He's right. Except in a few edge cases, everything good (health, education, rule of law, tolerance) is downstream of economic growth.

Economic growth is literally everything. People fondly remember the times of high GDP growth and treat the ones with low growth as the dark ages. Growth means positive sum thinking becomes the optimal strategy and this is the bedrock of civic society. We must build more

This line of thinking drives me crazy because it's just a bunch of reasoning errors stacked on one another. First of all, History doesn't start with colonialism. There's about 6000 years of world history, and for pretty much 90% of that time, White people(specifically Northern

White people are not superior. They just historically played the game of power and dominance better than others. That doesn’t make them more moral, more intelligent, or better. just more ruthless at winning. Ruthless.

This is the most important video of 2025. Everything comes down to our ability to build housing and infrastructure. Dems have lost the plot and it’s time to retool. Watch the entire thing and share it with your representatives. If they scoff, primary them.

Every study out there by both Canadian and American economists shows that the harm to Canada will be much greater than it is to the US, with Canada retaliating. In effect, we will be doubly hurt with almost a zero impact on the US. How is this putting Canada First? I fully

Trudeau was strong today on a Canadian tariff response. What I wished I had heard, and what I haven't heard from any Liberal, is a plan for shifting our economy to deal with the new reality. Where are the plans to boost the Canadian economy with deregulation? Expand energy?

Best to apply reciprocal tariffs and focus energy on how to restructure the economy for the new reality. But the Liberals are enjoying the surge in polls and they get pandemic-era nanny-state powers, so an unwinnable trade war that will crush the Canadian economy it shall be.

Can’t see how Canada wins a trade war. Whatever Canada tries, US just has too much leverage for it to work. Want to stop US NE electricity supply? Well, US could order cloud providers to cut services to your banks. Want to stop selling oil? Huh, how will Alberta survive?

Canada will never fully realize its potential as long as we have insane climate ideology controlling our oil pipeline infrastructure and decision making. All of these individuals need to go.

Americans on X and Canadians on X are in two completely different worlds right now. Americans are seeing instant and rapid results of a clear election mandate being fulfilled day one. Canadians on X are witnessing the final gasps of a dying regime trying to buy itself time.

It's not just the Trump tariffs that will hit Canada's economy hard, it's that he is about to massively deregulate critical industries when we are going in the opposite direction and making it harder to do business.

Eliminates the EV mandate. Poof. Canada spent $50b + in subsidies to build unwanted products for a market that just vanished. Unbelievable stupidity on the part of Trudeau, Ford and our other moron leaders.

The number of Canadian politicians who see the economy as zero-sum is concerning. That they make these kinds of statements everyday and still get [some] votes is depressing

Why are Trump-loving billionaires like Elon Musk backing Poilievre? Simple: They know he'll prioritize their interests, not yours. Poilievre's offering more for billionaires — and workers will pay for it.
