This speech from Carney is intelligent, thoughtful, honest, direct and incredible. In many ways hard to hear, but I can’t fault him for being direct about what is happening.

The sad thing is that this speech will do nothing to convince a strong minority of Canadians who will continue to bury their heads in the sand about the way things are.

If he's gonna start planning for an election 3 years early again maybe he should work on writing an actual platform before worrying about jumping between ridings.

I can never seen him delivering a speech at Davo nor in that caliber (then again, maybe he'll chat gpt it all).
I would like him to prove me wrong, but he just doesn't give me the feeling he has the world view to do it. He's very much let's just focus on myself type of guy.
Well, it was Trump's turn, he made his speech at WEC in Davo. Lots of clip out there ... hard to listen to it from beginning to end though. Here are exercpts. Hitting back on Canada and Carney. But this fool is actually proving exactly what Carney said yesterday. Could be in the Trump post as well but to follow up with discussion on Carney's speech.

Right on brand, I wonder if anyone told him the main language spoken in Davos is German?
He also said that he doubts Nato Countries would ever be there for them if they needed help yet the US is the only Country to ever use article 5 during 911 and of course all allies answered the call. He's so far out of touch, this demented mashed potato brained, draft dodging idiot needs to read a book or better yet just go away and retire.

Carney’s speech to his cabinet ministers at a Liberal forum in Quebec City.
-liked this part of his speech. A reply to Cheeto:
Carney offered a reply to Trump in his cabinet speech.
“Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange. But Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.”

More good things for canadians. Not sure how he's going to pay for all of this, but yes, good good.
Quick facts
Today’s announcement builds on the following measures to lower costs for Canadians and protect essential programs, including:
Cutting taxes for 22 million middle-class Canadians by lowering the first marginal personal income tax rate from 15% to 14% as of July 1, 2025, providing tax relief of up to $420 a year per person, or up to $840 a year for two-income families.
Eliminating the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for first-time homebuyers on new homes up to $1 million and reducing the GST for first-time home buyers on new homes between $1 million and $1.5 million, to immediately make the goal of home ownership a reality for more Canadians, especially young families.
Cancelling the federal consumer carbon tax effective April 1, 2025, directly helping Canadians save money at the pump. The government also removed the requirement for provinces and territories to have a consumer-facing carbon price as of that date. This has helped reduce gas prices in most provinces and territories by up to 18 cents per litre in comparison to 2024-25, lowering headline inflation.
Budget 2025 also outlined concrete action to ensure Canadians receive the support they deserve, including targeted measures to strengthen food security and household affordability:
Making the National School Food Program permanent, providing school meals for up to 400,000 children each year, saving participating families with two children in school an estimated $800 annually on groceries.
Introducing Automatic Federal Benefits, starting in the 2026 tax year, to ensure up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians automatically receive the benefits they qualify for by the 2028 tax year, including the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit and the Canada Child Benefit.
Lowering costs and strengthening competition in essential services, including ambitious pro-competition measures in the telecom and financial sectors to reduce prices, make it easier for Canadians to switch providers, andlower banking and service fees.
