The last decade really has been a lost decade for us, every economic metric and many social metrics prove that. Stating facts does not automatically mean that someone is obsessed with Trudeau.

It’s also funny to see comments like this because you’re defending and almost celebrating government policy that has made each and every one of us poorer.

I'm trying to highlight the same rhetoric that just keeps getting regurgitated with little thought on what they are saying.

Throw in the word oil or LNG in the news article title and you will have people saying "but there was no business case".

My networth actually increased by a substantial amount under JT. It has slowed down since the Trump tariffs came into place

That has nothing to do with anything. I bought 50k worth of Meta in my tfsa in fall of 2022 for 92$ per share and sold it for 785$ a share in 2025. That has literally nothing to do with Joe Bidens presidency.
