Well, Trump's country is not going down an abyss of recession, falling Canadian Dollar and mass layoffs any time soon.

Carney's is.

I guess the estimate of 340,000 manufacturing jobs lost south of the border is just a figment of someone's imagination, along with a 0.4% decline in US GDP.

Canada is leaving the US in the dust. This is the difference between having a real leader and......the opposite.

"With 181,000 new jobs created since May, Canada is outpacing the U.S. in job creation, at a rate of almost one per cent employment growth this year to the U.S.’s 0.2 per cent in the same period. The Canadian economy is growing faster than its U.S. counterpart, on track to outpace all G7 economies next year. Between April and June, Canadian GDP grew at an annualized rate of 3.4 per cent, besting the U.S. rate of 1.5 per cent in that time, and Canada has been more successful than the U.S. in suppressing inflation, the issue that most concerns American voters."

When it does, the US will have 65 billion barrels. It only imports 1.5 billion barrels from Canada each year.

Trump is showing Carney how it's done. Once US money and expertise gets those oil fields going, the US won't need Canadian oil. At all.

And how is Canada's drive to secure an alternative market for 70% of its exports going?

But yah, Carney, Harvard, Oxford, Goldman Sachs, me have man crush on Carney...lol...

$40 trillion in debt, bond yields at record levels, inflation, job losses, a war against Iran he can't extricate himself from.

Nearly forgot - the serious business of renaming Lake Ontario.

Yeah, Trump is showing the world he's a <deleted> genius.

Economists Boost US Growth Forecasts for Third Quarter

Economists raised their forecasts for US economic growth in the third quarter, reflecting upward adjustments to consumer spending as well as private investment that includes capital outlays on artificial intelligence.

Gross domestic product is now seen expanding at a 2.5% annualized rate in the third quarter, up from 2% in the previous survey, according to the latest Bloomberg News monthly survey of economists.

When the investments in AI are finalized and the Venezuelan oil starts flowing the US will be the envy of the world.

How about this? This isn't about some small money .

AI Overview

Trump Tower Moscow was a proposed skyscraper project that never got built. [1]

The Project

• Donald Trump’s company tried to build a tower in Moscow starting as early as the 1990s.

• Plans included luxury condos, a hotel, and a spa.

• Talks picked up again in 2015 while Trump was running for president.

• His lawyer, Michael Cohen, signed a non-binding letter of intent with a Russian developer.

• The plans even floated a $50 million penthouse for Russian President Vladimir Putin to help market the building. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Lazy AI BS is not worth replying if it's starts "tried to build".

Difference between democrats selling their country vs. business.

Why does America need wars at all? Two oceans protecting it east and west, friendly ( or were friendly before Trump ) nations north and south. It's probably the safest place on the planet to be, in terms of invasion risk.

Freeloader UK still needs to pay it's share.

Same for all other NATO freeloaders, incl. Germany.

That's your argument? “Trump is competent” is ridiculous? The guy who got three Supreme Court justices, crushed ISIS’s caliphate, brokered the Abraham Accords, and forced NATO freeloaders to pay up while the last guy couldn’t even remember what day it was.

Keep coping.

And just signed a deal with Venezuela worth 65 billion barrels of oil, making Canada redundant.

The Venezuelan oil is not insignificant.

But people are desperate to make Trump look like an idiot.

That oil may fuel the AI revolution maybe.

Really not sure where Canada is headed.

As should Venezuela's natural resources be left to Venezuela.

Of course Trump has been busy shouting about increasing defence spending until he realised that Europe would be spending nearly all that money on European arms manufacturers.

Even Lockheed Martin has panicked and now opened an office in London.

Plenty of people make serious money off the homeless industrial complex. NGOs, activists, city contractors so the last thing they want is the problem actually solved. Just see what happened with Nick Shirley who was trying to expose it. They actually made a law to prevent it. Insane!

But I don’t remember Canada being a full-blown open-air drug den and government-sponsored euthanasia clinic either. That part is new and it’s not “personal choice.”

It’s policy.

Signed a deal, you mean he nicked them, and he first has to find companies that want to invest hundreds of billions of dollars to extract them.

So far there are no takers because they know who they are dealing with, and they have already lost hundreds of billions of dollars in Venezuela in the past because of Trump

Bond rates rising.

Inflation (PCE) @ 3.7%

23,000 jobs lost, previous jobs data revised down by 103,000.

Financial institutions increasingly utilizing Fed Repo facilities.

Personal Bankruptcies up 12% on the year.

Business bankruptcies up 13% on the year.

National Debt $40 Trillion

On the cusp of fiscal dominance.

While the idiot in the White House thinks it’s time to cut interest rates.

A big surge in imports—partly driven by computer chips and tech investments for artificial intelligence—slowed down the official GDP number because GDP only counts domestic production.

Companies continue to spend heavily on technology and AI infrastructure.

Strong Spending: Consumer spending accelerated to a healthy 3.2% annual growth rate in Q2, up sharply from 0.5% in Q1.

Cooling Inflation: The annual inflation rate slowed slightly to 3.4% in July.

The unemployment rate remains steady and low, hovering around 4.1% to 4.3%.

Despite the "sluggish" headline GDP print, market indicators tracking Polymarket consensus data assign a 92.5% probability against a US recession hitting before the end of the year, signalling confidence in the structural floor of domestic consumer demand.

So, all steady and good.

Carney threatening to make more trade deals with the EU, India, and .... (drum roll) ... ASEAN !!
