  1. Meanwhile the leading party in the polls for the upcoming Quebec provincial election is pushing a hard line of separatism (even though the majority of quebecers want nothing to do with separation right now). They’re living in fantasy land out there saying things like Quebec should cozy up to Trump to survive.

    It is his party and his government that are driving new surge in separatist movement in both Quebec and Alberta.
    Wish Quebec left decades ago. Imagine how much wealthier the rest of Canada would be without them sucking almost 50% of transfer payments year over year.

  3. Will Mark Carney personally sacrifice or will he continue to live a life of luxury. We know the answer to that.

  4. Nothing says national unity like “voting for anyone else but us is a vote for traitors”.

    We’re in, but stop the profits from oil, gas, lumber, wheat, uranium going out of country.

    Canada should have a wealth fund far greater than Norway! Its a crime how Canada is being raped like a third world country.

  6. The ruling class is scrambling to shift the narrative. Canadians have never been more proud of their prime minister.

    Yea, the LPC stance on the gun buyback is stupid but I’ll take that over any other party by a longshot.

  7. He wants national unity while giving special interest voters in Quebec a gun confiscation program, and stalling on Alberta’s bitumen pipeline. He can’t have it both ways, we’re either united or we aren’t.

  8. Calls for National unity? Really?

    Tell me, why should we? We have International students, mainly from India (Check the Facts) frauding our immigration and asylum system, food prices are through the roof, Canada’s youth cannot find work because of said international students, Canadian families cant find affordable homes even with a dual income.

    So why should we unify? Canadians are demanding change, however neither party care. So fuck Unifying.

  9. This is something everyone of every political stripe shouldn’t have issue with. But I’d bet there is disagreement across political lines.

    National unity but cannot get premiers to agree on the basics. He needs to start putting pressure on the premiers to get rid of internal trade barriers and we need to act like one big country otherwise this is hot air.

    Tough road ahead. But we fight as one, and we ain’t giving up until the end.

    You mean the economic challenges created by the liberal party over the past 10 years. Oh, fun times.

  13. As a consumer I am already supporting as much of Canada and boycotting America as possible.

    However, our own Canadian companies are doing everything possible to outsource employment, or onshore cheap labour.

    Why am I expected to carry the water, but companies get to prevent foreign companies entering our market to complete with Canadian companies (every telecom you know). Or they’re importing as much cheap labour as possible? (Every food service company you know).

    Or how about our housing being sold to the highest bidder for the longest time?

  14. Unity? They’ve run on division and still are. Self inflicted economic crises is what we have. What a bunch of BS. Hollow words by a hollow man.

  15. Scrap the gun ban, tremendous waste of money. Aside from that Carney is leading us in the right direction.

    Within minutes of this being posted it’s flooded with hateful comments all saying extremely similar things. Hmmm.

  17. Meanwhile we are about to get a separatist government in Quebec which is promising a referendum, and Alberta is toying with their own movement.

    National unity? He and his supporters want to kick in my door, when I don’t comply with them stealing my stuff.

    He has to give some if he wants some.

  19. This is the perfect opportunity for Carney to simply get rid of nonsensical programs. His speech was excellent and he’s showing Canada’s metal, but things like the gun buyback program are 100% what people are going to push back on. Even though it’s not really a big issue, it’s a small issue that does affect a unity message. As they say, actions speak louder than words.

  20. Sorry but I’m tired of this. He was elected on the back of fixing last spring’s economic challenges and has shown no progress.

    Stop angling for yet another election and work with the Parliament voters gave you to do what you said you would do (which, to be clear, is un-fucking the mess the Liberals helped create).

    The man is trying to save the country from an attack by the US while the fucktard’s in Alberta scream for a referendum.

    We buyin across the board. The working class needs something specific. If you make under $60k you should get the first 10hrs of overtime with minimal tax. Not zexy but would be effective. Have a look.

  23. Does he mean the economic challenges the Libs caused? More of the create a problem, sell the solution from the Libs.

    Just a thought.

    “Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

  25. Canada is a nothing country and it’s own problems are self-inflicted. Fuck these companies that are continuously fucking us over and making it difficult to live.
