That's what I thought was funny about it. Last I read, Ontario sells excess generation down south for something like 6 cents a kwh. A 25% exit tax is an extra 1.5 cents per kwh. Which is charged to the exporter which is most likely OPG. Which is a crown corporation. So he's taxing a crown corporation and in essence the government is taxing itself. Sure he's bilking some more money at the end of the day, but like with everything it's an anemic response.

For reference a quick search shows the flat rate for Minnesota is 9.4 cents per kwh.

I saw a video the other day that explained that because of internal regulations it’s often cheaper to export to other countries than to other provinces.

I've barely heard a peep from Canadians about the China tariffs, anyone informed that can give a rundown of the impact those will have? The timing seemed absolutely diabolical on China's part to pound a nail into Canada's coffin

Its a 100% tariff on various agricultural products, from pears to rapeseed oil,

with 10% on other things, etc.

Basically, its over Canada applying tariffs on Chinese EVs and technologies from a year+ ago?

For full transparency, its the same tariffs the US, and EU previously had on China, but China doesnt care that the EU has them.

From what I would guess, its likely because China, without the US, just wants to do away with North America entirely, so is pressuring diversification away from North America due to its own tariffs.

But yeah you wont hear about this in Canadian media

I remember one time in a "in store prices" thread on /pol/: canadian ham being cheaper in the US, even after exchange rate, than in Canada
Edit: I want to emphasize that it was the same brand, same type, and it was the price per pound, obviously

If Canada opens the floodgate to Chinese EV, America will put 100% tariff on Canadian automotive sector. It will be so fast you won't even hear about it ..

You western and conservative Canadians are alright. I’d welcome you all with open arms but I don’t want anything to do with Ontario. I’d rather be hit by lightning right now and die than share a country with Ontario or Quebec. I’d rather be sent to Brazil than Ontario or Quebec. I also like the way you all talk and I appreciate your war crimes.

This has been a long standing problem within Canada. If trade barriers are reduced within Canada, then Ontario and Quebec will lose industry. Both provinces are notoriously difficult to do business in. A reduced regulatory burden in either the Maritimes or Prairies, and with the ability to sell product tariff free in Ontario and Quebec would put both provinces into a recession. So when they talk about lowering trade barriers it is just that. Ontario and Quebec have too much to lose.

The Liberals have instilled that self hatred within whites for the past decade. They're the party of "Canada has no national identity" after all.

If you unironically think that any of their policies will change if they manage to win another election, you're beyond help, and you will be sent to the Canadian concentration camps when the US liberates us.

Imagine being this much of a doomer because no one talks to you so you have no idea what the majority opinion actually is. Carney won with 86% approval in his party. Pierre won at 67%. 338Canada is predicting 143 seats to CCP's 156, and this does not consider Carney as the new leader which had already caused swing voters and NDP loyalists to register as Liberal in order to vote Carney as the Liberal leader to go up against PP. The media is touting him as centrist where he is basically a 00s old school conservative - which will be great for the cons who don't base their entire livelihood on being racist. PP still wants to bring in 250k TFW, Carney suggests capping it at 500k which seems more reasonable given they want to invest in new industry and we literally do not have the population to work in these industries. PP's platform is very similar to Carney's but its not touted by a fucking imbecile who can only operate on catch phrases and insults.

The only real sticking points is the "culture war" and there's simply not enough of you to out vote the rest of the country who lives normal lives. The hubris to believe PP is going to win because... you don't like the Liberals is how people lose elections but you guys were already trying to get the 5 million dollar green card to the states anyways. Anything to own the libs, even though you have no leader nor platform to begin owning the libs. PP had nothing to say about the tariffs because it's not his job according to him, he's not the PM. But he is the official opposition so what is his job, what things matter to him and when can one expect him to give a shit without a photo op? When you put him on payroll?

I voted for Ford locally and will vote Liberal for Carney in the federal election because I honestly like Doug better than PP. A former Etobicoke drug dealer VS pansy nepo bitch, I'll take the dealer all day everyday. PP is just a loser leading losers. When PP loses, I wouldn't be surprised if Ford tried to take his place.

will vote Liberal for Carney

Canada is not a serious country.

It really isn't. Canadian so-called patriots constantly bring up British Canadians in the War of 1812 and both World Wars for clout.

Those were British Canadian soldiers fighting for Mother England under the British Red Ensign. We didn't have our own independent foreign policy until the 1960's.

They're trying to drum up Canadian patriotism in a country that is 25% neither Christian nor Westernized.

I can't stand it, it's so fake and gay.

That Harrison Faulker guy who did live interview with Jeet illegal protest and got labelled as "right wing" media is also larping as some kind of British loyalist. There is no such thing as Canadian nationalism. It's all fake and gay.

I will never take Canadian nationalism seriously until they throw out the parliamentary system as well as so called British heritage. It's dead.

The media is not touting him as a centrist, Look at his policies, he wont rock the boat (too much) on immigration. He'll continue allowing his party to be taken over by jeets, and he'll probably recant some other things before the election is called. You only believe that Pierre is a "true conservative " because liberal aligned attack ads are using every scare tactic in the book. Carney got into the game long after pierre so who's really copying who?

There is Merit to this, and that is why Canada is a failed state. It doesn't matter if the rest of the country burns as long as Ontario and Quebec are still propped up like the welfare states they are. The job of the Opposition is to hold the government of Canada to account. Being this anal about how we're "different" and "better" I thought you'd grasp that concept

No, you like Doug because he's a "progressive conservative" or what most people would call a Liberal. Your party ran a literal nepo baby for 12 years so those in glass houses and all that.

And this dear reader concludes the look into the mind of the Canadian livestock. "Vote Liberal even if it means destroying your country to spite Donald Drumpf" you should seek immediate MAID at a hospital near you @Totallyunknown

It's very clear to me you do not read.

Not only have I consistently said for months I am a moderate who voted across the board based on party platforms - not politicians. Carney did not get into "the game" long after Pierre - his first job in politics was in 2004 when he was barely in his thirties. In that same year, Carney, after working for big international banks for thirteen years, signed on to the Bank of Canada. Mark is in his 60s. Pierre is 45. This has to be the most ignorant argument you've made yet that is easily defeated by looking at either man's biography.

Currently, there are 70 Indian Conservative MP's holding seats. Which means over HALF OF THE PARTY ARE INDIANS. That's why Pierre is seen at a million Indian events - his voter base is Indians, not the white people you think he cares about. Here's some more information you'll never read:


Provincially and territorially, visible minorities have been elected to all 13 legislatures. As of December 2024, there are 117 visible minority politicians serving in 10 provincial/territorial legislatures. Of those members, 49 are New Democrats, 45 are Conservatives (24 Progressive Conservative, eight BC Conservative, six CAQ, five UCP, one Saskatchewan Party, one Yukon Party), 18 are Liberals (11 Liberal, seven Quebec Liberal), four represent Quebec sovereigntist parties (Québec Solidaire) and one is currently an independent (Sarah Jama).

Which means of the major parties, Liberals are the whitest by far. This is how fucking stupid you guys are, crying about Jeets taking over and you'll vote in the party with the most Jeets out of the entire electoral system. Fucking jeet lovers.

 

[Day of the Cope]

you cannot remotely educate yourself

Imagine unironically going "educate yourself" like this is fucking reddit or Tumblr.

Which means of the major parties, Liberals are the whitest by far.

And Liberals are the entire reason we're in the mess, so shut the fuck down.

I'm not a leaf or a yank, but as a pleb from a fellow commonwealth hellhole, and as someone who has family stuck in the great brown north allow me if I may:

In Carneys acceptance speech he gave today, he said absolutely nothing about emergency powers and said

Oh, I've seen this one before! Twice!
Horseface pulled the exact same stunt in 2020 and then proceeded to fuck over everyone with mandates despite claiming that she wouldn't. That lisping idiot who runs Australia did the same thing with the voice. Hell I can probably do this with every single leader my country has had all the way back to Governor Grey and Hongi Hika.
I'm sure the man who the British correctly call Mark Carnage its totes going to be honest this time though.

it will be forced closer to its UK/Commonwealth trading partners

in order to reinvigorate British hegemony
which has waned significantly since WW2

I wish. But our governments are all WEF stooges so we get fucked either way bud. We were born imperial subjects and we'll die imperial subjects. To which empire I cannot know.

No you won't as the PP side has decided the Libs cannot be trusted even when their Leader verbatim says everything you all wanted to hear him say in his acceptance speech while making immediate promises to cut taxes. If you all actually think this guy hung up all of his luxury jobs to get on TV just to lie to you fucking retards about the carbon tax, you're literally hopeless. To say this guy is lieing when he has no history at all and PP has decades of an abysmal career jumping on every right wing band wagon is just delusional cope.

I'm sure PP will be marginally less shite than the literal WEF plant. In the same way egghead is marginally less shite than horseface was, and chinless egghead will be marginally less shite the lisping idiot. We're aware the globohomo plants on the right side of the isle suck, but I'm not sure why you so rabidly think yours will be different from the last decade of accelerated decline.

PP is a literal fucking idiot supported by other literal fucking idiots. The Liberals have begun to clean house - the Conservatives need to get rid of PP for a chance in hell against Carney.

This might actually be the most retarded thing you've stated in this thread. I mean the second part is jeet tier delusion.

The fact that this is all you have as a response is why this thread is filled with faggots circlejerking each other over who can become second tier Americans first.

Did it take you long to type this with your left hand?

That's sad you hate yourself so much that you cannot remotely educate yourself on your issues that is not blaming everyone else but this whining is a you problem.

Ah, the last resort of a cornered redditor. How depressing.

@Totallyunknown - I hate to break it to you but the liberals are not going to change and not going to reform at all. In fact they will actively seek to divide , conquer and destroy everything you once held dear.

Anyone else across the anglosphere or europe with a modicum of commonsense can tell you this.
These people are not your friends or your allies and are not serving your interests. They serve themselves, the bankers, NGO's and whatever other corporate interests pay them. The centre right is not that much different in that they buy less into the id pol bullshit, but are the mostly the same breed of corrupt parasite.
The Americans aren't levying tarriffs because they seek to destroy your economy, they do it as they want you as a country to get your shit together and stop acting like the Billy Carter of the family, and yet your government triples down and continues to behave like the disappointing sibling,

Put down the cat hair covered dildo, go outside, get some fresh air and direct your rage at those who invaded your country at the behest of your precious liberal party and at the people who got your country into this mess.
