Budget day

[chuckChuck]

Oh shit Crop! the United States has a worse fiscal debt and deficit situation than Canada and they have been downgraded as well. But you still think Trump is better than Carney? LOL

The United States has had its credit rating downgraded by all three major credit rating agencies:
Standard & Poor's (S&P) in 2011, Fitch Ratings in 2023, and most recently, Moody's Ratings in May 2025. The primary reasons cited for these downgrades are the persistent large federal budget deficits, the growing national debt, rising interest costs, and political polarization surrounding fiscal policy.??

And Ireland has a much higher GDP per capita than Canada but they are no better off when looking at wages, health and poverty! Whats up with that Crop?

"Ireland, for example, has recorded the fastest growth of real GDP per capita of any OECD country over the last decade and its GDP per capita is purportedly twice Canada’s.
Ireland is a wonderful, fascinating place. But any visitor can immediately confirm it is not rich. Average living standards (evidenced by wages, housing, health and poverty) are no higher and, by some measures lower, than Canada’s.?"

The perils of per capita GDP: No, Canada is not poorer than Alabama
Despite lower economic growth per person, most Canadians earn more, live longer and fare better than Americans.

Honest answer is i don't know , certainly would not be canada , here people vote for a decreased standard of living , and pay far more attention to the blue jays than the destruction of their own country

Your answer proves what most of us on Agriville realized from the get go, there's no country on the planet you'd be happy living in.

Funny how it bothers you so much about how other Canadians rallied behind the Blue Jays.

Ab5, since baseball was mentioned in Crop's post, what a softball question on your part.

"Bread and circuses" is a phrase referring to the superficial appeasement of the public through a combination of basic provisions (bread) and distracting entertainment (circuses) to prevent political unrest. Coined by the Roman poet Juvenal, the term criticizes a strategy where a populace is pacified with food and spectacles instead of addressing systemic problems or engaging in civic duties.

Thank you to forage for providing a prime example of a citizen distracted by circuses, and refusing to even acknowledge the systemic problems.

When the proposed bills get passed Canada will be same as UK
Heartbreaking when a 100 year old veteran says on live TV in England the sacrifice of his friends was not worth it
I will be forever thankful , but what they fought for must be preserved
If you are happy forage to live in a country where the charter is ignored and rights and freedoms slowly being lost good luck

Do we really know what a 100 year old veteran is unhappy about in the UK? Maybe but most have lost their reasoning and faculties and ability to comprehend the world by then.

At that age the change over the years is massive and they are facing their mortality head on.

The world almost never looks great when you are worn out, old and preparing to die!

But no doubt Crop thinks Nigel Farage will fix it by getting rid of all those brown and black immigrants that came from the former British empire countries and putting the LGBQT+ community back in the closet!

Watched the entire 8 min clip.
No elaboration for context on that singular remark.

[fjlip]

But real easy to see who has lost his reasoning and faculties…unable to see anything but lefty libtarded evil shyt!

[chuckChuck]

In other words BP we don't know what he is talking about? Maybe its the food at his long term care residence? Or the decline of the Royal family?

Same with Flipper, its hard to know what goes on in his addled mind! And in it's not worth trying to understand anyway! LOL

Occasionally read before logging in.
Then I see enough ignorance to last me the rest of the day.
I was stating a fact after watching the entire vid. One sentence out of 8 minutes. Interviewers talk over him most of the time.
There is no position that justifies disrespect like Chuck's. No bigger hypocrite here. Hate the only process. Too ignorant to keep it to himself.
