Wouldn't it be more awesome if you regaled us with tales of Canadian success?
Personally i'd like to hear about it.
I love canada, been there many times and always had a great time.
But i don't tell canadians how they should run their country.
Here is a list of some of what Carney has actually done in 12 months, just to clear a few things up.
______________________________________________
1) He killed the carbon tax.
Gone. Day one. The thing you've been posting about for five years. He ended it. You're welcome.
______________________________________________
2) He scrapped the EV mandate.
No more government forcing you to buy an electric car. Replaced it with a $5,000 rebate if you want one. Your choice.
______________________________________________
3) He reversed the capital gains tax hike.
The one that had every doctor, investor, and small business owner looking at the exit door. Reversed.
______________________________________________
4) He passed the One Canadian Economy Act.
Tore down interprovincial trade barriers that have been strangling this country since Confederation. Passed with Conservative support by the way. Nobody talks about that part. CMHC says this alone could unlock 30,000 new housing starts a year.
______________________________________________
5) He launched Build Canada Homes.
Not a press conference. An actual federal agency building 45,000+ homes on government land across six cities.
______________________________________________
6) He dropped $51 billion on real infrastructure.
The Build Communities Strong Fund. Hospitals. Bridges. Water systems. Transit. Universities. Stuff you can walk into and touch.
______________________________________________
7) He cut 40,000 government jobs.
Trimmed the federal machine and committed to balancing operational spending by 2029. With a plan. On paper.
______________________________________________
8 ) He slashed temporary resident admissions.
From 673,000 down to 385,000. Because he understood what the last government refused to accept: you can't add people without adding capacity.
______________________________________________
9) He hit the NATO 2% defense target.
Something every PM has dodged for decades. Canada just made the biggest defense spending jump in generations. Over $63 billion. Then at the NATO summit he committed to 3.5% of GDP by 2035.
______________________________________________
10) He flew to the UAE and came back with $70 billion.
A $70 billion investment pledge into Canadian infrastructure. Not a handshake. A signed agreement.
______________________________________________
11) He went to China and played hardball.
Got tariffs on Canadian canola dropped from 85% to 15%. Cut EV tariffs from 100% to 6.1%. That's not weakness. That's someone who knows what leverage looks like.
______________________________________________
12) He signed Canada's first bilateral free trade deal with an ASEAN country.
Indonesia. New market. New money. New doors.
______________________________________________
He's made 26 international trips in one year.
Building trade relationships, signing deals, and putting Canada back in rooms we got quietly removed from (yes by Trudeau ...)
Read that list again.
Carbon tax gone. EV mandate gone. Capital gains hike gone. Immigration reduced. Defense spending up. Government jobs cut. Trade barriers removed. Foreign investment pouring in.
