carney's inaction on the tariffs and lack of communication with the Trump administration is what is going to sink him.
People care about actions, not words or stupid phrases like "elbows up." What is carney doing now to negotiate with the trump administration? Absolutely nothing. There is no plan. 75% of Canadian exports go to the USA. | lol all that action from PP. 21 years in politics and not a single bill passed. No catchphrases either. Bring it home and axe the tax are real concrete actions he's made huge progress on. I know I've "brought it home" since his campaign started.

Supafamous doesn't want help and that's why I respect him so much. He's good. He wants people who aren't to be in a better spot.

When you have no power and you're stuggling, you realize, if you stay true to who you are, that if the system wants you to succeed, things will fall into place easy.
If you are talking shit that works against the system, you will be punished so fucking hard. I never took the "vaccine" and lost everything. Did you take it?
You've been reading my book, you know the current system is 100% rigged against happy relationships and men and women supporting and loving each other to produce happy and healthy kids, the system flourishes on dependence and weakness, justifying a management class to care for people who can't care for themselves. In a bizarre twist of how we were brought up to believe life was, everything is basically upside-down to the values we were raised on.
I find it insulting, and ironic that you use the term "brokies" when the rich people are typically, in 2025, the type of fucking geeks that suck the dick of the system so hard. Because the harder you lick the balls of the system, the easier it is to be rich. It doesn't matter if you are "left" or "right" wing, as long as you play nicely within the window.
So weird, I went from making soooooooo much money soooooooo easily, and now I am kind of proud to be a brokie, because I know the system rewards cowards and punishes the brave. Selling porn will get me rich again, while if I tried to work jobs to help other people I'd make fuck all money and never be able to afford fuck all. My evil endeavors will get me fat paid again, while being selfless and caring for people will just lead me deeper into total poverty.
Everything is so fucked in 2025 Canada because it makes so much better financial sense to just go along with the program and the total corporate control of society, because if you ask questions and you do anything to question the system, you're simply cancelled and removed from society. I've experienced this first hand, I'm not even allowed to be an artist, I'm completely wiped from society for resisting the immense power, money, and influence of the people in charge. Search for "Jason Bryan writers / Jason Bryan books / Jason Bryan novel / Jason Bryan artist" you won't find fuck all, I'm removed from everywhere and people trolling my reviews is the only shit you'll find.
Even if I'm right about sex and dating ( hint: I am ) it doesn't matter. The system is in complete control and you will follow the corporate / government narrative or your life is going to get fucking smashed and your balls crushed under the combined power of the entire system. Comply or get fucked.
Elbows up!
Sell drugs, pimp women, rugpull crypto... it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters in 2025 Canada is if you have money or you don't. Shit on the faces of the poor, they're worthless people, but if you have 7 figures liquid, you're a fucking GOD in our society.

Shameful | That track record of cons focusing on the poors. Maybe he would vote for them if PP even released a fucking platform in the last 2 years he had to do it.

Shameful | Way back, in my youth, I was an occasional Conservative voter. I thought Preston Manning was pretty cool and I was a BC Liberal voter - Gordon Wilson was a hit with me and I was a big Gordon Campbell fan (still am) (Jean Chretien is still my favourite though). But today's Conservatives are unserious about governing and unserious about the biggest problems we have to address. They've become beholden to far right extremists who only seek to hurt others.
As a voter today, I can choose to make my vote about punishing the party in power for their failures of which there have been quite a few. Or I can make my vote about the future I want and the choice there is pretty straightforward.
I'm choosing to vote for the future over the past this time. My confidence in the guy with the Ph.D in Economics, two leadership terms with the BoC and BoE, and years in the best banks in the private sector is much higher than the guy who seems to be little more than 3 word slogans who has never worked a private sector job. I think one understands better than the other how a functional economy should look, I think one has the resume, pedigree, and references (even from Conservatives!) that's best suited to lead us.
I think we need a leader who is serious about (and who has ideas for them):
- Economic growth
- Income inequality
- Climate change
- Democracy
I've only read about 20 pages of Carney's book and it's obvious the guy is super smart and that he's thought about these problems in detail for years and has actual experience working at the highest levels of gov't and business to address them.
Edit: When it comes to who would be better at defending our sovereignty the answer is hands down Carney and not the guy who's aligned himself with the guy who's threatening our sovereignty who took weeks before he started his tough talk against the US.

Polymarket, the prediction market that was the only "poll" that predictes Trump to win by a significant margin, is now tracking Liberals over Cons by a significant margin https://polymarket.com/event/next-pr...=1743173698389
For those who aren't familiar prediction markets are like stock exchanges but instead of businesses participants buy and sell contracts based on the outcomes of future events.
Proponents say it's more accurate than polls because unlike polls, prediction markets dynamically adjust to new information, including breaking news, shifts in public mood, and insider knowledge.

Keep believing all of the shit that the system puts in front of the faces of the gullible... "crisis this, crisis that" all to give government more power and completely crush any dissent. Bet you wore the mask and took your vaccine because you were so scared like 90% of the population that is completely beguiled by the bought-and-paid-for media. (Remember, they were funded to the tune of 600+ million dollars in 2018.) https://www.ctvnews.ca/lifestyle/art...news-industry/
Shit like the above is why, if you are high IQ, you have to simply let go of the idea of being "Canadian" or having any loyalty to your fellow citizen. Simply focus on getting money by whatever means neccessary because your fellow citizens are completely mind-rotted to the point where this country is 100% being marched into a totalitarian future based on fear and lies. Trump's in on it, Carney is in on it, none of the billionaires are worried at all, you can be assured of that.
Whenever you see 70 IQ boomers, especially women, buy into the "elbows up" nonsense while the establishment is fully on board with whatever the current_thing is, you can be sure that you're dealing with coordinated mass manipulation that works on 90% of the completely asleep population.
Oh yeah, Carney, globalist elite, totally on the side of the average Canadian.
COVID enabled billionaires to double, triple, or in Elon's case, 10x their wealth. You really think it was completely not exaggerated and not coordinated by the elites? The low IQ people still wear masks and take their boosters, still believing in the lies and fakery they were fed like good human cattle.
Buckle up friends, the road to 2030 is going to be fucking rough. Just watch.

^ Someday Vryalt3r3d will realize that the entire political system we have is simply theatre, and every politician in Canada works for the crown.
Little PP is a career politician. A fucking nerd. A life-long professional liar. Everything he does is fake as fuck. He is the exact same as Trudeau, but in blue flavour. I bet Little PP wouldn't even say "a man in a dress is not a woman" because he is just a puppet for the establishment, and the establishment is woke as fuck.

Dude you're just another "whatever happens I'll just say it's bad even when it's good" it takes absolutely ZERO talent, thinking or education to play that game.
I haven't seen you answer a single post on here about PP's complete lack of credentials, policy or plans for anything. I know it's hard because he hasn't done anything and has no plan so all you can do is be exactly like him.
What are you even saying to people you're supposedly knocking on doors for? "Vote for change!" "He's not the liberals!" "Axe the tax!" Oh wait that one is done. Let's bring it home? Still using that one?
I have no idea whether Carney is the right leader or not, but even a fool has to admit to himself at this point that PP is a loser one trick pony that's cooked.
Voting Conservative at this point = believing in your local representative of which there actually are some competent ones. I voted Con when I was in Richmond because the guy was actually really good and responsive. PP ain't it as a leader tho.

trump called him prime minister and said he would talk to him after the election. | - Carney starts with a trip to France/UK as his first foreign visit breaking the tradition of going to the US first - makes a point to make Europe a key partner.
- Carney then jumps the line (ahead of the US) and buys Australian's radar system.
- Carney then says he'll only speak to the Trump if and when he shows Canada the respect we deserve including dropping the nonsense of the 51st state
- Trump gets mad on social media about Canada and EU partnering up - calls Canada a country and threatens more tariffs in retaliation of more tariffs.
- Trump calls for a talk.
- Trump calls Carney Prime Minister and doesn't mention the 51st state.
VRYALT: Carney's a cuck!
