Canada In-Recession

[grassfarmer]

..... it is cleverly, and purposefully deceitful, aiming at a target audience, who laps this stuff up because it fits their agenda,

Kinda like your graphic hey?

If you read the figures it's nothing like doubled, in fact it's increased by @72% yet the measurement of the growth wedge indicates a 10 fold increase from the left side to the right side would indicate @900% increase by my reckoning.

I think most farmers have been navigating purposefully inflated and chopped off graphs purporting to indicate massive yield ( or weight) gains, to comprehend how to read a Y axis on a graph.*




And in this case, it was only intended to show direction, not magnitude. Since the original cut and pate left the reader believing that China's demand was dropping. Whereas what it should have said was that the rate of increase is slowing.*




You see this same wordplay used repeatedly, especially regarding debt, deficit, renewable power, climate etc. *

Why I advocate separation now and not a decade or two ago. Well first I was younger. But my eyes are wide open now.

Secondly relates to what Peter Zeihan has pointed out about Canada now, that's its rapidly aging except for AB/SK and we are going to be the piggy bank for Quebec and now Ontario all while our resources are being restricted and actively attacked. The west will be drained dry to serve the east and destroy ourselves in the process. The govt is now using western money to buy off people to come and live here. (notice how newcomers flock to where social programs are the best, supported by wester equalization). So they are controlling the money and the votes. That's a no go for me and only one way out.

Jazz if your keeping up to Peter the usa doesn’t need or even want Canada, they are a self sufficient nation and economy, they would take Mexico before Canada

What you say sounds plausible, however those nasty little stats often get in the way

Agree. Errol why do you keep hammering on a recession in the USA. From what I see the economy there is going gang busters. Housing ownerships is on the way up lots of good numbers there and they seem to be doing much better then any other country

Not Canada, Alberta Sk parts of BC and MB and the north. Just the good parts. To us it s about our commodities but to the Americans its about security and creating a super state to counter the Chinese.

No doubt! The vacation industry alone there is reason enough. The u.s. military would have to go to war with the cartel's though. That would be a big problem. The cartel's are Mexican government.

That's a fitting self portrait you've drawn but I always find it distasteful when people "like" their own posts - it wasn't that good.

SF3 liking his own post? Hmmmmm. Maybe he it the wrong button?

But then again he may share his over inflated ego and need for for self adulation with his hero Donald?

Bank of Canada may be forced to cut rates into last half 2019 . . . .

Fallout in oil and gas, cooling housing and now outright recession likely to change the economic tune of BOC govenor Poloz (IMO).

U.S. Fed may also cut rates as U.S. economy also slowing in 1st quarter . . . .

Errol you forgot to mention the fall off in Agriculture business

Canuckistan is already in recession and that will be obvious once the Q4 data is revised in a couple of months. You can add now the declining ag industry to the fallout list. The B of C wants to cuts rates because the job of central banking is to produce as much inflation as possible without too much destabilization by keeping interest rates below market. With the current amount of debt out there, interest rates are no where near a market clearing rate but are suppressed continually. The question is will Poloz be able to cut rates in Canuckistan without running the loon so low that we cannot service our $USD denominated debt. For that reason, he may not be able to cut rates and may be forced to raise one more time yet this year.
