Just Not ready

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Yeah, it seems to be counterintuitive, even more so when the guy heading it has a resume boasting key positions in finance.

Pretty sure Carney is just a more educated Justin.

I have no doubt he is a globalist.

Break the backs of the people economically and force reliance on the elites who ultimately control the governments.

It's Petrocan across sectors.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

When asked where the $25 billion seed money for the fund would come from, Finance Minister Franky Bubbles squeaked, Canada has a AAA credit rating and can borrow cheaply.

This is Ebynomics that has had BC's credit rating downgraded five times making debt servicing the third highest budget item.

I like how Franky omitted that Canada actually lost its AAA rating with Fitch Ratings in 2020 due to fiscal challenges.

Only changes since 2020 are a doubling up of the annual deficit and a reduction in economic growth…..

Asshats, one and all.

What is the Canada Strong Fund going to invest in? Projects that the private sector has already passed on? And who is going to run those projects? The government? No thank you. The private sector that already passed on the project but now will do it with government funding? Sounds like a subsidy or future cost overruns to me.

And don't we already have a sovereign wealth fund of sorts, the CPP fund? $732 billion sitting right there. There's a reason those funds are not being invested in Canadian infrastructure projects.
