Why do you think the oil industry in Canada has suffered so much?

US dollar price per barrel

Also CAD is linked to to the US dollar when that strengthen CAD drops

With the US as Canadas largest trading partner, when times are good in the US, CAD weaker against it. When times are bad in the US, the Canadian dollar trades better against it.

And why hasn't the CAD strengthened when the oil industry in other countries picked up after Russias invasion of Ukraine?

US economy has been strong under Biden, fastest global recovery, fastest global growth rate

You keep proving my point of not having a clue of what you are putting out here

I have countered your above points

By the way Canada is 3rd in G7 on gdp growth and 2nd in terms of lowest income inequality, so measuring against other countries it’s not doing badly

Canada is feeling the effects of post covid inflation and supply chain damage,


You think Trump was the best candidate for USA……let’s see how that pans out, it’s seems Trump isn’t going to be great for Canada, maybe you should’ve been rooting for Kamala

Trump isn't a politician therefore he is more likely to look at the issue from a business perspective rather than political one.

Given the bloke has bankrupted three casinos, im not sure his business acumen should be held in very high esteem.

Trump is basically the wayward manchild of a billionaire.

Trumps Steaks, Trump University etc.

also currently being sued by Gibson for making selling knock off overpriced, chinese? guitars. If they aren't being made in the US (which is highly likely given most of his products aren't) then he is actively acting against American industries, in this case an incredibly long standing iconic guitar manufacturer.

...but he's just become the president elect of the most powerful nation in the world, even winning the popular vote so I would call that an achievement in itself, wouldn't you?
Anyway I'm sure you and others will not look for anything remotely positive with regard to Trump so it's really pointless debating with you, so as I've said previously we should wait and see!

You are so right. Trudeau has ruined Canada. If you lived here you would know! And he has increased our debt by an astronomical amount our great greatgrand children will still be paying it off.

People like you who live their lives in Canada and experience everything first hand on a daily basis just can't simply come on here and tell people who've never lived there or don't live under the regime that they're wrong!

What they've read on the internet trumps your first hand knowledge and daily experiences and is akin to someone reading the Bible or Quoran! It's all true and those who don't agree or believe what is written are heretics.

Why should we? He is a vile person who has been shown numerous times by his own words that he is a liar and has disgusting behaviour towards women, including claiming he is entitled to 'grab them by the ...', boasted that he was allowed to go and watch the 16yr old beauty pagent girls changing rooms, said numerous times that he'd date his own daughter if he wasn't related, and is a convicted rapist amongst 100's of other things.

Jimmy Saville was pretty popular back in the day, should we just look at the positive things he did? Epstein was a pretty good business man, surely he isn't all bad... right?

I'm not against many of the true republican ideals e.g. Encouraging strong families and respect for law and order. The trouble is Trump does not give a ..... about any of those as long as he is making money. He'll say and do anything for power.

So we should base our thoughts on 1 person's experiences? I think they would term that 'anecdotal' evidence.

Most people I know have a house and a job, so you can't tell me there is a problem in the UK with housing or job market as that is my lived experience. I must be right.

I would suggest it was Covid that increased Canada’s debt not Trudeau.

Makes me laugh. With Canada, it's got to be the fault of Covid but in the UK, it's all the fault of Brexit. Why the difference? Ah yes, one's led by a cult member and the other wasn't.

You could, but only if you don't actually understand the difference between movements (MAGA, Brexit, religion) and economic/political philosophies such as Socialism, Communism, and Capitalism.

Several times (just on this thread) I and others have noted that the damage caused to the UK by Brexit has been muddied by the huge impact of Covid. Your post is the first one I've seen that's mentioned the idea that people discount Covid and blame all the UK's recent economic pains on Brexit.

I'm pretty sure you can't blame the Canadian economy on Brexit. The clue is in the name

Exactly. It's easy to say that things in <insert my country here> are <good/bad>; based purely on what I personally see in my surroundings. Doesn't mean that's true of the country as a whole. That's why data is important, rather than personal anecdotes.

Okay let me spell it out. @RobinBHM blames the state of Canada's economy on Covid but the blame for the state of the UK economy goes to Brexit, Canada has a socialist cabal member as leader and so can't possibly be to blame. Over here, Brexit was the fault of nasty Tories, idiots and racists so it can't have been anything to do with Covid.
