What should Carney do differently?

MicheaD:
Falling house prices aren’t some “discount sale” to celebrate !they’re a direct hit on people’s life savings. For most people in canada and Canadians, their home is the only tangible asset they count on, especially for retirement. A price drop means lost equity, shattered financial security, and wiped-out investments. And don’t fool yourself about buyers rushing in when purchasing power is weak, even cheap homes won’t move. That’s not a healthy market; that’s a broken economy.

slydog:
Repeal the law limiting massive oil and gas and other mineral exploration.

Kill any rubbish carbon nonsense.
Minimize immigration for a while

IT'S NOW OBVIOUS CANADA IS ON ITS WAY TO SELF DESTRUCT, SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY BROKEN.

A homeowner is facing assault charges for allegedly injuring an intruder at his home in Lindsay, Ont., according to local police.

The Kawartha Lakes Police Service says it responded to a call on Kent Street at about 3:20 a.m. on Monday.

According to police, the resident had woken up to find an intruder inside his apartment. The two had an "altercation" and the intruder suffered life-threatening injuries, police say, and was later airlifted to a Toronto hospital.

Police say the homeowner is facing charges for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.

The alleged intruder, 41, is also facing charges, including breaking and entering and possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes. Police say the intruder was also already wanted for unrelated offences.

Self-defence: What's acceptable under Canadian law?
While people do have the right to defend themselves and their property if they believe they are facing a threat under Canadian law, those rights "are not unlimited in Canada," Kawartha Lake Police Chief Kirk Robertson issued a statement.

"The law requires that any defensive action be proportionate to the threat faced," Robertson said.

"This means that while homeowners do have the right to protect themselves and their property, the use of force must be reasonable given the circumstances."


In his statement, Robertson also acknowledged that the case has generated "significant public interest and emotional responses."

"The Kawartha Lakes Police Service appreciates the community's engagement and concern. However, the negative commentary about the officers and their actions is unjust and inaccurate," Robertson said.

So someone with a gun breaks into my home and canada police is telling me I'm expected to show restrain and be careful how I deal with the intruder!!!

These weak, political correct laws are the root cause anarchy and civil disobedience in the west. This was how UK started, now that country is on the brink of a civil war.
I can only pray for Canada because they just dont know what they are inviting on their head.

steroid:
The court has to explain how someone who is threatened, first needs to determine what's reasonable before defending themselves. This is ridiculous.

Greetings house. Am in a very difficult situation that I don't know what to do.

I applied for a students study permit(Canada) through an agency who issued a backdated bank statement from a commercial bank.
I have gone for my biometrics since early July 2025.
I have been waiting for response from the embassy only for me to have a feedback that the account statement i submitted was fraudulent which will attract 5 years ban,hence I was given 7 days to make an explanation to it which will elapse on Wednesday being 27th.

They stated clearly that if I keep mute,a free the 7 days , they will take a decision based on the documents I submitted.

Please, what do I do at this point? I am devastated at this point.

Your advise please?

Mark Carney pretends he was “matching” tariffs with the United States, trying to fool Canadians into thinking he forced concessions from Trump by removing tariffs on CUSMA goods.
The truth is Trump’s tariffs never touched CUSMA goods.
Carney scrapped tariffs for absolutely nothing a fake victory dressed up as negotiation. It shows just how easy it is to mislead Canadians with empty politics.

NuCypher:
Poilievre wouldn't have done any better. Let's be honest with ourselves. Poilievre had or has a greater tendency to kow-tow to Donald Trump than Carney did. If Carney is behaving like this now, it's because it was always inevitable. The US has a much stronger economy than Canada, and with Canada's continued dependence on the US and a sitting US president who is hell bent on playing God, there isn't that much of a good choice than to play ball.

Please,I have a question: why is Canada committing billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine including Mark Carney’s recent $2 billion pledge and the earlier $20 billion while Canadians are still facing unresolved crises in housing, healthcare, and affordability at home?”

Efetobore1980:

Because it is their nature. Americans (USA & Canada) are not selfish, regardless of their own personal issues. That is why you and I and others are able to apply for immigrant visas. Otherwise, why would they bring more people into their countries if they needed to manage money ?

Forget about Canada unresolved crisis because the crisis will never be resolved. Tell us one country in this world with perfect economy and zero lapses area ?

Canada will remain the top 10 index of the best countries to live in till the end of the world. 👍

I believe Canada has all the capacity and resources to make all Canadians and immigrants comfortable/stable but human life can never be balanced if there is no rich, middle class and poor.....

Inshort there must be certain numbers of poor people needed in a nation.

It is what it is....😁😁😁

uchennay:
Personally, I disagree and believe this amounts to money laundering. A wise government would not ignore its own problems while pouring billions into a baseless war that cannot be won, instead of pursuing a peaceful resolution!!

Sheron50:
Trump is not “playing God” he is defending U.S. interests, period. That’s what a real leader does: put his country first. Meanwhile, Canada under CUSMA behaves like a weak state, not prioritizing its people or building a strong economy. Instead, it leans almost entirely on immigration as a revenue stream, which is unsustainable and already showing cracks.

He has weakened the US economy. Job losses has increased, prices has drastically increased, and a lot of essential benefits are being clawed back in not erased. He's now firing reserve governers, begging Jerome Powel to reduce interest rates, and even fired head of labour statistics Erika, when she reported how bad the economy has got since Trump took over with undeniable evidence. This is defending US interests ? This is a "real leader" ? He's putting his country or ego first ? The US is currently a laughing stock.

Carney's strategy is clear. Buy time. Canada is 1/10 the size of the US. Obviously the US has an advantage. 85% of trade is protected under CUSMA. There's still tariffs under steel and Aluminum. The other items are tarrfied at a lower percentage in comparison to other countries. Canada has one of the best, if not the best trade deal, with the US, the world's biggest market. That's a fact.

In the meantime other markets are being explored and traded with. Provinces are now united, creating free trade among provinces. Carney has formed military alliance with other European countries and unions, as the US is not as reliable anymore. And so forth. Carney is working behind the scene to diversify different Canadian sectors, mainly trade though. Immigration has been drastically reduced, making it more difficult to even migrate to Canada. I don't know where you're getting the Immigration angle from.

I've always wondered why many posts on this thread bother on a far-right, anti-immigrant sentiment. Folks calling themselves 'third world', hating on other brown folks and constantly berating the country they live in etc. Reminds me of the recent Mehdi Hassan interview with far-right folks where a Latino dude got an awakening.

There's little in terms of substance on the actual reality of living in Canada here. I initially thought the Nigerian community in Canada is relatively not as robust but thats hardly the case. If not that I'm in Canada, I'd have mistaken the sentiment here for the reality. Folks I interract with have little bother about most of this.
The question becomes, why has this place become a venting ground for Nigerians fed up with Canada? Also, why is there little substance in terms of the wider reality of navigating Canada here?
