The definition of madness is doing the same thing multiple times and expecting a different result. Nowhere to rent. No houses under $1mil. Skyrocketing gas and grocery prices.

That’s exactly why Carney picked her.. to cause further failure and create problems that he can blame on someone else. .. all the while over populate Canada with rejected immigrants causing further failure to legal, medical, housing , food and employment problems.. he fixes it by giving more of our billions to the Ukraine.. meanwhile 6 million people dont have doctors and tens of thousands of Canadians are dying waiting for surgery.. and 2 million people a month go to food banks.

The trucking industry is being run to the ground. And ottawa is sleeping at the wheel.
