      To be fair I think she clearly meant in the OECD, where we are second to last behind Luxembourg in GDP per capita growth, falling well short of inflation.

      Meanwhile we are capping ourselves to lower our own standard of living and not even fighting climate change to do so, as we perform mass immigration to hide falling productive growth.

      This then largely falls on the poor whose rents doubled and who are overwhelming the food banks. The rich already own a home and they invest outside of Canada, which Caroline Rogers has then increasingly warned about our diminishing investment into Canada.

        I guess I’m tired of assuming what conservatives might have meant when they say things.

        There’s lots of legitimate criticisms, but we are far from the worst country in the world.

      It’s easy to get to Mogadishu too – parachute, clown cannon, cruise ship. Sorted.

      We could make a sport of it.

      Here’s the pattern as practiced by POTUS47, PP, Putin and Smith: describe all of your shortcomings and failures but pin it on the opposite side and you’re golden as nobody can blame you back in that same sh#t. Or so the thinking goes
