How do you work out carney to be a dictator?

For starters, dictators like to seize power without being voted in.

 

[rgraham666]

I corrected an honest mistake..............go fuck yourself you mealy mouth shit eater.

You did not correct a mistake. You changed the base of your argument.

The proper response to making a mistake is to apologize and then shut the fuck up, you microcephalic australopithecine.

You are aware that Carney won the election in his riding?

You are aware he did not have a majority government from the election and now he does, no voting needed?

He won by by-elections.

TST is upset that Canada’s economy is performing well (he’s unpatriotic), so he’s whining about Carney.

Why are MapleMAGAs and MAGAs so obsessed with Carney? It’s weird.

Probably the same reason Petter Pollyanna of the Conservatives managed to still be a politician after he lost in his own riding...by-elections

No, five floor crossings happened without by-elections. Voters didn't get to decide.

Carney's government seized majority power without voter process or approval. Simple fact.

You don't get more dictator than that.

They're obsessed because Carney is the wrong type of dictator.

**Canada's Key Economic and Social Challenges (as of early 2026)**

### 1. Stagnant/Declining GDP Per Capita
Total GDP growth (~1.7% in 2025) masks weak per-person performance due to rapid prior population growth. Per capita GDP declined in 2023–2024 and only modestly recovered in 2025 (~0.6%). Long-term growth lags peers (e.g., far below U.S.). This better reflects living standards.

### 2. Severe Housing Affordability Crisis
Skyrocketing prices/rents have made ownership/renting unaffordable in major cities. House-price-to-income ratios elevated; shelter costs up sharply (~26% in recent years). Contributes to homelessness and diverts capital from productive investments.

### 3. Surging Homelessness
Unsheltered homelessness more than doubled in recent counts. Ontario: ~85,000 experienced homelessness in 2025 (up 8% YoY, 50% since 2021). National rates elevated through early 2026; visible crisis with encampments and deaths.

### 4. Record Food Insecurity and Food Bank Demand
~24% of Canadians (~9.8 million people, including 2.4 million children) in food-insecure households in 2025. Food bank visits near 2.2 million/month (nearly double pre-pandemic). Many users employed; food prices +25–27% over ~5 years.

### 5. Elevated Unemployment, Especially Youth
Overall ~6.7%. Youth (15–24): 13.8% in March 2026 (more than double national average; hit 14.6% peak in 2025). Youth account for disproportionate job losses; scarring effects likely.

### 6. Weak Productivity Growth
Chronic issue: low business investment, slow tech adoption, poor capital allocation (much flows to housing). Linked to housing crisis (prevents scaling productive cities) and low competition. Limits wage growth and competitiveness.

### 7. Persistent Cost-of-Living Pressures
Cumulative inflation hit essentials hard (food + shelter). Real wages recovered somewhat recently but many households still strained adjusting to higher price levels. High household debt compounds vulnerability.

### 8. High Household Debt and Fiscal Strain
Elevated debt levels amid affordability issues. Federal deficits remain significant; interest costs rising. Limits policy flexibility.

### 9. Regional and Demographic Disparities
Worse outcomes for youth, Indigenous, racialized groups, and certain provinces. Labour market weakness concentrated; food insecurity/homelessness over-represented in vulnerable populations.

Canada's so called "performing well" economy.

Floor crossings have gone on since literally the 1860's

here's a list

Yeah, lots of terrible things have historical precedent.

So what's the alternative? An american style system where politicians become all but unaccountable once getting into office?

And yours are? I see no evidence of that.

We can hold referendums and byelections to get rid of our politicians..it's why Canadian politics are famous for being boring, no one wants to lose their job

The sitting president of the US is a convicted felon

What is less accountable than getting elected by one side and then just crossing over to the other without voter approval or process?

If Conservatives hadn't consistently voted against recall petition's for MP's, you might have a better option than referendums

Government corruption, tyranny, stupidity, wastefulness, etc is not a political aisle issue.

But....ya don't

Then maybe the Conservative platform should have been more than..." Grrr Trudeau BADDDDD!"

Trudeau is without a doubt one of the worst PMs we ever had. He's probably happy Carney is showing strong potential to be even worse.

He is THE worst PM ever

 

[phtlc]

He won by by-elections.

And by floor crossings. Individual MP's who made a personal decision to over-ride the outcome of a democratic election.
