Canada is in a rough place, since a lot of our business and economy is tied into the value of our dollar vs USD. When our dollar was worth more than America’s, we started losing business from people who were buying shit at a discount up here (lumber, groceries, etc). We also started losing a lot of American Hollywood filming (tons of movies get filmed in Canada as stand ins for US cities, since we don’t look obviously Euro, and you don’t have to worry about Euro ads and stores in the background, we still rocking McD’s and Starbucks). So we had to actually DEVALUE our dollar, to force Americans to come back shopping here. Only now, our dollar is worthless, and our shitty corrupt government is still in power, since the fucking Bush days (no two term limits up here). And the only people who vote anymore are ass backwards hillbillies living in the prairie provinces, so they keep voting for their own.
It is very likely that this is a Howard Dean situation where he leads all the polls, media coverage is huge on him and then he later implodes. Either way Trump is making things hilariously entertaining.
Canada’s problem is that the their export economy economy is predominantly based on oil and OPEC is kinda fucking that market up for everybody right now by driving the prices so low. The yen was really strong against the dollar around the same time the Canadian dollar was, but the Japanese economy is more diverse and was better able to take advantage of the re-adjustment.
we’re having an election over that…three parties neck and neck, and a new one in the lead (GO GO GO NDP!). Our current government is corrupt (and proven, they’ve had tons of cabinet ministers arrested for corruption), and we’re supposed to just assume the dude in charge knew nothing…then he wants to abolish the senate…ummm yeah, time for an election, senator palpatine…
All the voting options in Canada are complete shit.
Mulcair already said he would double the amount of immigration we are already getting. And I’d rather not have my country turn into a shitty fusion of China and India. Not that Harper is any better.
And lol Trudeau, lol Green party.
Government’s only gonna get worse. Doesn’t even matter who wins out of this lot…Too much dark money between’em all to trust either of’em. Big Money already got the vibratin’ dildos in their asses. They just sittin’ stage side flippin switches and pressin’ buttons.
Trump is entertaining as hell to watch but him as president is a scary thought. I didn’t like his comments towards china and mexico, in fact i loathe the comment “they are taking our jobs” so much. Why can’t america realize that the reason why the Chinese and Mexicans are taking jobs is because of the fact that they worked hard to get it? You think companies rank nationality/ethnicity over a person who can assure money?
Not really, but they know it isn’t black and white as your question insinuated YOU do. They know that someone here illegally will do the same work for less, will demand fewer rights and less safety. In a while, nearly all their employees are illegals, and they only have to pay out what half their american workforce was getting annually. Said americans leave that job, and it beomes another “job americans won’t do”.
