The Republicans have a long history of screwing up the economy. We are about to experience a historic downturn.

Every study since forever yields the same results... 🧠 🤔 www.zmescience.com/science/news...

how are you liking Mark Carney so far? He did a pretty good job at the first ministers conference today didn’t he? Pierre Poilievre could never pull that off.
