I guess we should do stupid corrupt things because Trump exists.

What’s Trump got to do with this? If you invest anything in the Canadian market you probably hold some Brookfield. Carney’s investments are in a blind trust. What more could be done, in your view?

  Perhaps I would have simply had someone different represent Canadians. Is this too much to ask?
  - lwansbrough 5mo ago
    Apparently!

    Yes, considering everyone else was either utterly incompetent, didn't want the job, or screwed the pooch under pressure.

      Look, I checked my email everyday and didnt see anything.

        Might've gotten lost during a Canada Post strike.

    So you were just complaining because you don’t like the guy?
    - petermcneeley 5mo ago
      Your response is the quality of argument that I have come to expect in Canada.
      - lovich 5mo ago
        Well I’m from the US so you’re wrong on that point. Your quality of comment is what I expect from conservatives who think their feelings are reality and complain about shit without making solid inferences or connections. It’s a sovereign wealth fund and you’re complaining that one of the larger Canadian companies is included in it because Carney worked there. Then when pressed you say you wish someone else represented your(presumably you’re Canadian) people. That’s just kvetching.

        > Perhaps I would have simply had someone different represent Canadians. Is this too much to ask? This was in reference to Carney. I dont think Carney represents the people very well. It is not a sovereign wealth fund. The name is intended to clash with a real sovereign wealth fund like say Norway has. Basically you need wealth and Canada has the inverse of wealth it has deficits. The fund was created (of course) by debt. It is a bit like borrowing to invest in the stock market rather than trying to invest your savings/income. Canada already has massive federal debt due to insane levels of mismanagment. So why would Canada create such a bizarre 'fund'. Well it is what happens when you put a banker in charge of a country. You get banking solutions to country problems. So now you see why Carney's career path matters. This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to know more I can link you to many facets that you might find interesting.

So far I'm batting 11/12 for going down the rabbit hole with anti Carney Canadians before i find out they were in support of the trucker convoy. Benefit of the doubt is gone if you don't open up with actual thought out critique.
