Salmonrook, you obviously don’t understand that just because PP has never had a real job his experience as a career politician makes him way, way more qualified to run this economy

   Sorry but I dont think if you compare the 2 then anyone would say that PP has more experience in Finance than Carney .
Career politician , his only job is to see that gets re elected , not  someone with real world experience in finance.

I understand the budget and I was surprised it was that high but that includes help for our auto industry, forestry in BC and making sure we are spending to our NATO committment of 2% of GDP .
 
 The Conservatives would be running a deficit  as well  , when asked PP didnt even have a solid platform before the election , just a bunch of rhetoric. He was leading in the polls as well until Carney came along .
 Its clear that people thought Carney was a better man because they elected him , people could have voted either way and they chose. FACT
 Not claiming to be in finance but everyone understands deficits and debt , you seem to think that your income tax rate is rising $8000 next year , I think its you that doesnt understand . That debt is on future generations , not saying its right but it is reality .
Canada, USA and most countries have run deficits since WWII .

 When Harper under the Cons was in power , he muzzled DFO and stripped the laws safeguarding our National and provincial parks , basically allowing mining and logging inside them .   
  They have a poor record for this .
Our environment is in better shape because we DIDNT have a conservative government, trying to carve it up for profit .
Will NEVER vote conservative
Along with the basically useless Con MP's we had in our riding for 15 years , people finally wised up and elected a better person .
Yup he ran under the Liberal banner....but he was a better choice , mirroring what happened federally

While I am not sure if this was directed at me but at no point and no time did I describe Carney that way.

FWIW Accounting really is not about math. Like a lot of disciplines such as engineering, it uses math as a tool.

That comment was not directed at you

As for you my friend, I hope no business out there ever hires you to do their financial planning.......you're clueless if you think Carney is a good business man

  Are you ?
 He was the governor of both the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada and guided them thru some tough economic events .
Why he was elected , he was viewed as the best choice .
Some chose to stay in there conservative headspace to vote regardless ,even if the candidate or leader  prove to be a poor choice .
PP is that choice , if the conservatives had a better leader, there I have no doubt they would be in power .

 I'll put on my tin foil hat and start googling elections results that align with my theory about why PP wasnt elected.
Or I'll just use my own judgement to see that they had a better choice in that riding and the guy is just unlikeable.
He passes as a leader of the opposition , barely

You need Accountant Ralphy to help you. Do you understand that Carney is going to add approx 80 billion to our debt in 1 year? If you don't believe me, then do a real study on the budget he is proposing.
I'm not an accountant like Ralpy, but I'm good at math so let me help you out.

80 billion / 40 million people is $2000 dollars per person FOR 1 FREAKING YEAR. Do you have to ability to calculate the that and then understand the ensuing economic disaster from that? A working man with a wife and 2 kids at home....that's 8000 for 1 family for 1 year.....

But of course that debt is going to plague future generations as well when you take into the fact that we aren't paying it back but there is interest on that.

Even Ralphy the accountant isn't going to argue with that.

As for you my friend, salmonrook.... I hope no business out there ever hires you to do their financial planning.......you're clueless if you think Carney is a good business man.
Any private business anywhere would fire his @$$ instantly for incompetency.

I agree that politics is a tough and demanding job. For most it's hard work work and long hours much of it away from home. Every few years oemployers have a vote to see if you will be retained or fired without any severance pay.  Most of them are decent people who got into politics for what they think are good reasons. For a party leader, cabinet minister etc it's a 24 hour day 7 day week. When people say a career politician never had a a 'real job' usually mean a labour or trade type job. Its true they are different worlds as are management jobs and office jobs. I have had a few in each category and they are different worlds. I put myself through University working as a janitor. I was probably happier on the job doing that than any other position I had.

Salmonrook, you obviously don’t understand that just because PP has never had a real job his experience as a career politician makes him way, way more qualified to run this economy. The fact that the people in his caucus are running away from him (really? A Conservative crossing the floor?) doesn’t mean that he is not a good leader. And don’t try to describe him as a mini Trump because he was never given an inheritance to lose so he is not like Trump at all. Wouldn’t you like to see him and trump meeting to discuss the tariffs or the fighters jet purchase? It will be nice to have him kiss King Joffery’s butt instead of Carney reminding Joffrey that “the owners have decided that Canada is not for sale” or whatever it was that he said.

Whatever happened to Daniel Krentz? He used to post on here all the time. His wife Kitty was Rods video fishing partner.

Dan's website outdoor addictions is still online at wordpress. There is a link to his instagram account there as well.

Carney has a proven track record as a business man and thats  why they voted for him after the mess that Trudeau left

This comment almost made me throw up in my mouth. Are you living under a rock?

PP is a professional politician who can't even get elected in his own riding

Do some research on the corruption of how they did the ballot in his riding. And no, it is nowhere to be found on CBC and Global.

I think most people voted for who they thought the best leader would be .

Too many people just vote conservative because they are touted as  the right wing business party
Fact is we had conservative MPs in our riding who were completely useless just collecting a fat paycheque.
I applaud people who saw Carney as the best leader and elected him inspite of the Trudeau liberals history
It sure is telling how people view PP ,what a mouthpiece .
My 2 cents
