If Pierre Poilievre ever gets elected
And fired our central bank
The markets would nose dive
Canada would nose dive
Canada's financial system would be destroyed
Our triple AAA credit rating would disappear
There would be a run on banks
Our dollar would plummet in value.

So is this Trump's "golden age" he's been talking about?
Empty shelves just like the covid pandemic, disrupted supply chains, higher prices on everything.

I've worked in finance, government and for corporations and let me tell you -without a regulated financial system a country can go bankrupt, it happened in 2008. This man is brilliant. #CarneyforPM is the only choice.
Bay Street bankers are sweating Mark Carney’s rise.
Why?
Back in ’08, when U.S. banks tanked on risky loans and shady deals, Carney tightened the screws on banks, kept lending in check, and made damn sure their execs didn’t drown in bonuses while the economy burned. #cdnpoli

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.

Literary history is filled with authors who oncee shaped public opinion. As public intellectuals their voice on current affairs was widely sought. George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Albert Camus, James Baldwin, George Orwell to name a few such authors. And today where are they? Fermi's paradox?

Mutiny brews in French bookshops over Hachette owner’s media grip
Booksellers take stand against influence of conservative billionaire by limiting orders of his company’s books and placing them on lower shelves
A conservative Catholic billionaire and media owner is facing an independent bookshop rebellion in France over his influence in the publishing world.
Dozens of independent booksellers are trying to counter the growing influence of Vincent Bolloré, whose vast cultural empire includes television, radio, the Sunday paper Le Journal du Dimanche, and also, since 2023, the biggest book publishing and distribution conglomerate in France, Hachette Livre.

Visit the USA at your peril. You aren't safe.
ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
