The Official Toronto Discussion Thread

[Tom Foolery]

Youre being extremely hyperbolic and Canadas economic outlook is not even remotely comparable to Jamaica in 70s/80s.

This is a graph of deficit as a share of GDP in past decade. The differences arent as huge as you suggest, up till the clear outlier that was the pandemic year. The 2020 increase is very much the norm across the entire developed world, regardless of political party in power.

This graph shows the UK, which is run by a Conservative majority government (and has been for a decade). 2020 outlook looks identical.

But this goes exactly with what I'm saying. He ran a deficit for no reason.

Look at the 25 year version of that graph, Canada was running a surplus for 11 years until the crash in 2008. Gradually we lifted out of deficits to where we can start running surpluses again. All that shyt Justin jumped up and said we had to do, there was no need.

Canada wont turn into Jamaica, but he will be know as the PM that sunk the countries position.

Stop it. Justin came out the gate with large deficits. "The budget will balance itself"

What infrastructure has Trudeau built or improved since the first election? Where is the economic growth? Where is the stronger families? Why isn't social services helping these Junkies on the street?

All we have to show for this is weed. And we barely make any money off that too.

We could have got the same results with Harper, but with a much better budget.

all we got were cannabis dispensaries on every block separated by barely 300m apart and social services that will keep you waitlisted for months-years even

even im still struggling to find a therapist and my ass has a job with benefits. Whenever I peeped free counseling services and programs around the city, it was all the same. Had me thinking "imagine trying to access this shyt and you come from a low-income home"

Explosion of cannabis dispensaries in Ontario is because the Province scrapped their quotas when the Tories won in 2019. Federal Government has no control over how cannabis marketplace operates in Provinces, they only set out regulations for its legalization.

As for achievements of increased spending here is one tangible one that happened during Trudeaus term. Combining the child benefit into one program and increasing its payout was clearly a success:

Trudeau’s child benefit is helping drive poverty to new lows - BNN Bloomberg

As far as current status of economy, our employment recovery is going better than the US as well. Still a whole lot of issues, like the strain on health care services you mentioned and our crazy housing costs but its definitely not Michael Manleys Jamaica

I feel bad for the embarrassment he's brought to his mom....

imagine moving to Canada expecting to give your family a decent & safe life, and your son grows up to be Top 5

I read somewhere his mom had to relocate their family a few times because of all the beef he's causing...

I blame the authorities for allowing this shyt to go on...they really got a case against him, and this nikka is making IG live videos still? No conditions set against him even? This is making a mockery of the justice system.
