GoC announcement on a GST credit to offset rising grocery prices:
www.pm.gc.ca
Remains to be seen if this will help, or if Loblaws will just price the increase into goods by raising food prices faster than planned.
Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to make groceries and other essentials more affordable for Canadians
Our plan is moving Canada’s economy from reliance to resilience, though some of the biggest long-term payoffs of this transformation will take time to be felt.
Remains to be seen if this will help, or if Loblaws will just price the increase into goods by raising food prices faster than planned.

I have become an avid watcher of the House of El on Youtube due to the references backing up claims mentioned on the channel by El.

I didn't say the CDN was surging except that it is doing so only against the U.S. dollar. I made no other reference to its position against other currencies. Like Ken you make unstated references.

What reference did I make to something you said that you didn’t say?

As in many previous instances arguing with you leads to a nothing burger, so it is now up to you to figure it out... I quit!

Just as I thought. There aren't any here (or previously for that matter as far as I'm aware).
If you can actually find any instead of throwing out another straw man in order not to answer, I'll apologize for them.

Strange way to say thank you for adding clarity to the discussion.
It's important to know whether or not the Loonie is standing pat while the greenback falls, or if our dollar is actually getting stronger relative to global activity.

^ The Loonie has receded in value in relation to other world currencies of note over the past year (essentially following the fate of the U.S. dollar) except for very recently since Mark Carney's Davos speech where it has begun to surge vis-a-vis the U.S. Dollar. According to Economic Analysts, the Canadian dollar (CAD) is a major, stable world currency, ranking as the 5th most-held reserve currency and 7th most-traded currency globally. Often called the "loonie," its value is strongly influenced by commodity prices, particularly oil. The point that I was trying to make is that Mark Carney's Davos speech seams to have triggered new respect for Canada and that fact is evidenced by the very recent (past week) market reaction relative to the loonie. The other point I was trying to make was that Billionaire Warren Buffett has stated via numerous sources that he is going to reinvest in Canada over the growing chaos evident in the U.S. economy. He has ceded as of January 1, 2026 the CEO position of Berkshire Hathaway to Canadian and Edmontonian (University of Alberta Alumnus) Greg Abel. I am connected to the organization through business dealings with Buffett-owned BNSF Rail in California, springing off my dealings with an altogether separate company -- CPKC Rail -- for a project in Alberta.

Just now the Lede Story in The New Yorker Magazine -- story is behind a paywall so a subscription is required. I like the cover story... it kind of reinforces my previous points.

There are currently three separtists movements in Canada. Very soon Quebec will be represented by separatists federally and provincially. Growing alienation is Sask and Alberta. Canada is not a strong country - it has faced very little adversity in it's short history and become frantic at things most other countries would deal with much more calmly. Case in point - so many Canadians actually believed the US marines are going to invade that they voted for New York City banker / technocrat / slimeball Mark Carney. For many Canadians the mantra "we are better than America" is the nation's identity. Canada has become a very weak, unconfident country and one person (Trump) is living rent free in its head. Its pathetic. So yes, Canada could very well cease to exist - its future as a federation is very tenuous. Maybe many posters on this forum with such severe TDS that they want to jump into bed with communist China should "turn it down a bit".

Tone it down, your rhetoric is at 11. Likely the Floride causing such emotional instability i would guess.

Yeah
The US is an innovation, manufacturing, soft and hard power superpower. They will remain the world's largest economy for the foreseeable future. Canada will continue to see its standard of living drop in relation to the USA's GDP growth until more pragmatic government can take power in this country. The Liberals stoke fear and division - that is their playbook for electoral success and too many Canadians get suckered in by it - Like I said before the Boomer generation is keeping them in power - almost every other demographic in Canada wants change but the large Boomer demographic that watches Pravda (I mean the CBC) and lives in fear and believes the Liberals lies will keep this rotten government in power. Its killing Canada and shows how weak a nation we have become.
