Can't we just change the definition of recession like the US did? Economy fixed.

Edit: I guess I'm wrong about that: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/white-house-definition-recession/

Still waiting on the definition of an “Assault Style Firearm” not to be confused with an Assault Rifle or Militarized Rifle, which have been prohibited for private ownership in Canada since the 70’s.

We've already changed the definition of competition to mean the word "duopoly" or "cartel"

2 telecos

2 rail companies

2 effective grocers (80% goes to presidents choice)

Like 5 banks, that are all owned by the same people

I think all of our media is owned by maybe 3 people?

3 media corpos telling us the definition of competition.

I thought electing the bank guy was supposed to fix the economy?

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 hours ago

Electing the banker stopped the pseudo-president from getting in power. It didn't fix the fact that canada has, and always will be, a collection of corporations assembled to extract resources and labour from north america.

I think we're doing pretty good still considering the most powerful country in the world has been attacking our country's economy relentlessly for a year and a half and still it's only a technical recession.

Not only that, the orange pedophile has committed so many international blunders that the entire global economy is shaken

It would have been 100x worse without him.

A Keynesian economist would be getting the government to employ more people. Carney is firing civil servants by the tens of thousands and eroding the social supports that keep more people from falling through the cracks. I would take nearly anyone over Mark Carney

Take PP? But otherwise yeah.

[-] villasv@lemmy.ca 6 points 20 hours ago

I thought electing the bank guy was supposedly less worse than electing the demagogue; which still seems to be the case considering what's happening down south when they failed to do so.

I hate that this election was just a choice between 2 different flavours of conservative. I guess cherry conservative is slightly better than blu razzberry conservative.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 hours ago

More like dingleberry.

[-] villasv@lemmy.ca 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Me too, but unfortunately it just gets worse and worse as both flavours of conservative have little incentives to implement proportional representation, ranked ballots etc

No, he was elected to keep the fix going.
