I mean Canadians could blame you, along with Liberals, but I doubt you’re going to say that.
How long until someone calls Harper a fascist for saying this?
Edit: Took 18 minutes after this post for someone to call him a fascist.
I don’t think anyone is seriously claiming otherwise.
Housing crisis and rampant contemporary foreign slavery are neither trumps doings. 100% elbows up made in canada
Yes. Some can be blamed on decades of catering to industries in thrall to US market too.
Step forward Justin Trudeau, Mr. Sunny Ways Socks.
And he is correct. Trump was just a huge wake up call.
I have stage 12 TDS but he’s not wrong. The fact that we’re in a position where Trump/USA can bend us over and demand concessions is due to decades of inaction, complacency, and naivety that USA was a benevolent and reliable actor.
I mean no shit. Anyone who thinks Canada wasn’t already having economic challenges prior to January 2025 needs to give their head a shake.
Why are we hearing so much from Harper. Maybe trying to make himself relevant for a leadership bid if Pierre fails to turn public opinion around
He is very correct
He is correct. Harper is also to blame.
I mean, he isn’t wrong. Trump is just the latest problem and wake up call we needed.
Yes. The problem is the trade barriers weakening the country.
Trump just caught us with our pants down that’s all
100%. I don’t like the fact that many people seem to be giving our government an out for our woes. Our unchecked immigration, housing crisis and wage suppression was happening before Trump, and are still our biggest issues.
To be fair I think most people would agree the last administration was economically inept. No one has forgotten 10 years of zero growth in one of the easily resource richest countries in the world. For some reason woke identity politics and virtue signalling were more important than actually growing our country.
Harper is fully correct with this…but his government -which I supported- played a large part in getting us as dependent as we are. I’m not blaming him…who could have imagined a country we’ve been allied with for so long, and that we were actively fighting alongside, could threaten our sovereignty and wage an aggressive economic war against us.
There’s been multiple times in our history that we have had the opportunity to choose closer ties with the U.S. or diversification. This is, perhaps, the catalyst we need to force the latter.
Diversifying our economy away from US dependence will not be easy and will create hard times. But this is this generations time to sacrifice for the greater good. Let’s be real…this is not our ‘Normandy,’ not even close. It is however our opportunity to decide the future of our nation.
Harper had a vision for Canada to be an energy superpower over 10 years ago and then we got Trudeau and Jagmeet. We lost 10 years because of them. Fortunately Carney is at least saying the right things. Hope he can actually deliver.
Aaaaand there it is. It begins again. ABCs of Conservative politics. Always Be Campaigning.
3 things the CPC realized last election. 1. Pp is unpopular outside of his party. 2. Trump ensured a liberal win. 3. The CPC utilizing trump style politics doesnt work for Canadians.
So theyre trying something new or rather old. Now PP is giving off bipartisan willing to work vibes while Harper is campaigning on his behalf. That way PP is in the news less, the CPC can change campaign strategies, Harper takes the heat for their politics and they can cut him out if they want, and they can slowly start the disinformation campaign to make trump look better.
All of this because the CPC donators are old money. And old money has ties to US industry and they want us to continue being attached to the hip of the US.
Get ready folks pp is back and bitching in a different way.
I think Trudeau govt had no clue or any pragmatic plan on to how to grow the economy.
I am a liberal but we should recognize the wrong, accept the reality and held them accountable, putting aside the partisan bias.
They found a shortcut in immigration. Uncontrolled unskilled mass immigration resulted in overall gdp growth (also a major boost to real estate and diploma mills boom); but trudeau govt didn’t give two cents to decline in productivity, per capita growth and stress on public infrastructure.
On paper Canada may show highly educated/skilled workforce but in practice, majority of latest workforce is just diploma mill people with 6-12 months pg certificates with no real skills. Thus the productivity growth is going to be immensely difficult.
Such a short sighted and incompetent leadership that was.
Now whats done is done and Canada will have to face consequences for at least a decade to come
Harper is solid in his recent speeches, wow.
No, but they can be blamed on Harper for a decade of mismanagement. And Mulroney for another decade before that.
Groceries and housing are domestic issues that the government can address, but choose not to in order to appease the 1%
Canada’s difficulty? Compared to who?
Some of those fingers point at him, he allowed for the sell off of CDN owned press, and numerous crown corps. He accelerated the interdependence of the US and Canada.
Oh go back to the US and hang with your buddies.
Pretty sure dropping inter-provincial barriers is a responsibility of the provinces…
Harper was in power 9 years but I fail to think about his major achievements. Yes he navigated us through the GFC but that was thanks to Chretien/Martin balancing the budget for a decade. He was a mediocre PM.
