Poilievre's narrative isn't always 100% truth and in this video I look at the claim that over $400 Billion in CAPITAL investment is leaving Canada for the USA due to Carney.

It will help you to combat misinformation from PP's minions.

Poilievre Tells Canadians Investment is Leaving Canada - is he lying or telling the truth?

If any of the Japanese or South Korea carmakers would like to make cars here, for both Canada and some of the European markets they have, there could be money to be made. Not as much as the US market has been, but we know the issues there.

And there would be little to no tariffs to deal with.

Social media (why don't we have our own in Canada?). Pharmaceuticals & vaccines. Electronics. Non-synthetic textiles (linen, hemp, & wool) & clothing.

Except then it makes an environment for a larger US or global company to come in and buy them up.

That's an interesting take on the situation

For what market is the question. Is our market large enough to support an all Canadian car and would the cost be higher?

We need to break the big communications with more competition at the same level they are at otherwise they will continue to swollow up the small businesses that pop up to compete with them.

Recent NANOS POLL

4 out of 5 Canadians believe it is helpful to boycott US made goods and avoid travel to the US

Most Canadians believe our efforts give Canadians a stronger position in this Trade War

Your thoughts?

What types of industries would you like to see more large companies develop and create more competition?

This action says a lot about the leader and the trust BCers can have in that party

I think Carney stepped into a situation that can only be managed

He has so much to fix all at once and in the process some will think he didn’t do the right thing, go far enough, or did nothing on the issues they care about

Shannon Peel 🇨🇦 @shannonpeel.bsky.social · 17h

I agree

Either way he’s still waaaaaaaay better than anyone else around the world to lead a country during this time in history

The poorest I. The US continue to have weaker consumer confidence while the rest of the US keeps shopping

I would like to see manufacturing higher than Real Estate and more distribution of the wealth

Having so much in Resl estate explains why it’s unaffordable to live

O&G isn't even close to being our largest industry, even when grouped with mining. Strategic resources like O&G are important but Canada is clearly not a one trick pony, economically speaking.

Definitely. But an army does better w/ coordination, training, & systems of support. Canada needs to imitate the Finnish government's efforts to 'draft' ordinary citizens into combating the online campaigns of bad actors.

Until then you can go to my profile and join my efforts to coordinate something

A govt funded effort would be best though

Shannon Peel 🇨🇦 @shannonpeel.bsky.social · 17h

Good

It’s rubbish anyway and focused on pipelines

I get your concerns about Carney - I have some too

Most Canadians aren’t paying attention but those who are are seeing the bloom fade

Still he is better than pp

MC isn’t a politician - He needs to do more Barbara Walthers style interview - I keep the PMO and asking them to set them up

The economist interview today is a good start

He should have his own daily podcast

Canada sees the effects of ignoring the trolls and allowing them to take over media with misinformation and fake news

Trump understands how they used media, which is why he is trying to restrict it so the other side can’t beat him
