That’s exactly what you did. You are willfully basking in ignorance. The only reason to do that is, at this point, because you would rather be racist than uncomfortable.

This isn’t true. Harper relax the rules in 2006 but it was late in the game so Canada wasn’t as badly impacted. Many Conservatives at the time and since, agree that Carney (who became Governor of the BofC in 2008), was instrumental in advocating for a re-tightening of the regs.
The financial stability Canada enjoyed in that period was built on measures put in place before the Harper government came to power. Since the late 1980s, the supervisory regime in the financial sector had evolved and improved to include clearer goals, improved incentives and more accountability as well as increased flexibility for relevant financial authorities to intervene earlier with troubled institutions. At the outset of the global financial crisis, Canadian banks held fewer toxic assets and had strong capital ratios, higher levels of liquid assets as a share of total assets and a high ratio of depository funding compared with their international competitors. the quality of verification and documentation demanded by lenders was high; and mortgage lending standards were relatively high until the mid-2000s. Mortgage insurance standards were inappropriately allowed to get looser in 2006 but too late for a significant subprime market to develop. The Harper government reversed course and tightened these standards between 2008 and 2012 as the global financial crisis unfolded.

Every time someone wishes he was simply gone, thinking things will go back to ‘normal’, these are the truths I speak. Particularly, as a Canadian, it’s too easy to think of him as some anomaly, because it allows us to think it can’t/won’t happen here. And that is the thinking that will get us this.
A photo of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her quote, which states, “He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached or voted out. But removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him, the online radicalization that drummed his army; nor the racism he amplified and reanimated “

Here’s mine.
A screenshot of the CBC form giving my thoughts. “This framing coming from USAians is bad enough, but coming from the CBC, it borders on treasonous. This ONLY happens with an invasion and the US would be dealing with a decades long insurgency with 40million people they share an 8800 km border with — think IRA. To be clear, I’m disgusted that you’ve chosen to address this threat as if it’s cocktail party thought experiment. Do better. “

I couldn’t resist sharing. Barbara Levesque told no lies. #ONPoli
Brian Lilley writes, “You sound like the last bastion of TruAnon. Let me guess. You are over55 and either worked in the civil service or a government supported job and are now comfortably retired.“ Barbara Levesque replies, “Let me guess. You’re a fake Catholic Conservative who left his wife and kids to boink the press secretary for a former drug dealer who was floated to a Premiership by real estate moguls with mob connections and now makes a comfortable living. Amirite?” Yes people, Barbara Levesque told no lies.

I don’t know who Stoller is, but I have the same message for him as I do for Trump.

She’s delusional. Any Liberal thinking we should tack right is also delusional eg Crombie in Ontario. As @fagankara.bsky.social said when considering Carney…
“In short - he needs to Bernie the fuck out of his message and hope someone hears him. And we’ve got to hope he’s got the courage to act.“

For your sake, and ours, I wish for your country to come to its senses soon. A quote from Trudeau senior’s 1969 Washington Press Club speech. A two minute snippet of the speech can be found here. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
Pierre Trudeau quote from 1969, “Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt. “
