It's not like the rest of Canada has much to contribute either, to be fair. Sending SNC-Lavalin over to help rebuild is just plain cruel, and I don't think they have much use for Hootsuite either.

That's the really sad thing, we're not really good at anything. We don't have any actual major competitive industries or products of note. We dig holes and cut down trees. We're apparently too stupid to be trusted to even distribute our own loving grain. We can't build ferries anymore and if Vancouver is any measure we don't even know how to build roofs. So we sit around trading houses with each other.

So we sit around trading houses with each other. I have frequently used the refrain that we are the Russia of North America, but frankly even Russia has a more diversified economy and skilled labor force than we do. It's pretty terrifying to be living in a country worse than Russia in many ways, kept afloat economically only because of our proximity to America. Perhaps it is that proximity that has gotten us into this mess, that we've grown soft in the post-colonial era and come to expect Uncle Sam to support us when we gently caress up badly enough? There doesn't seem to be a strong desire in Canada, collectively, to solve things independently anymore. We just sell what we have left to the neighbors and hope it keeps us warm for another winter. #GrimChristmasEve

A Typical Goon posted:There's really no point debating with someone who unironically thinks that Russia has a more diversified economy than Canada   Shall we discuss that Russia has a more diversified and capable heavy industry sector? Which the USA buys all their rockets from? That they beat us bloody on volume of raw material exports? That they have a vastly more competitive telecoms industry? Notice how their economy isn't nearly 40% Real Estate and Oil. It's a post-apocalyptic gang-run frozen hellhole, which despite that still has a more diversified economy than Canada. This should make your blood run cold, but instead you two prefer to toss out a lol Russia and shrug off reality. gently caress along now, children, we talk about raw data in here.

Let's check again next year when Russia's economy collapses due to ~80% of their exports being energy+metals. It will probably be ~more diversfied~ oh and also Russia' GDP will likely drop below Canada's, for a country with 4 times the population and crippling social problems. But tell us more about all the other ways that Russia is a better country than Canada.

Turns out a country can have a diversified economy in comparison to ours and still be a failed-state basket case socially. It's like they're entirely separate metrics, who knew?

It would be pretty silly if the landlord can't ask you to leave after the contract period is over with proper notice. Google says valid reasons include family/friends needing to move in and repurposing the house. Anyways its not like it would be comfortable staying somewhere when you are no longer welcomed.

Apparently not you retards. Yeah sure they're separate metrics, and they will continue to be until around 1-2 years from now, which is when Russia's reserve fund will be depleted, leaving them unable to cover their deficit (6-7% of GDP). This won't happen in Canada because natural resources are not anywhere near 80% of the country's exports, unlike in Russia. Although if you want to go ahead and argue that the Canadian economy's recent malaise is anything near as bad as is Russia's, well, you're more than welcome.

Kafka Esq. posted:It's true, I heard a joke about the Russian military just the other day. Jokes aside, they are bad and only capable of beating up on failed states like Ukraine and Syria. The only reason anyone should consider them more than a regional power is because of their poorly maintained nuclear arsenal. That aside, though, the Russian economy is in awful shape and its collapse will probably be even worse than Canada's.

Canada, Russia and Australia are all going to be in a pretty poor state because they are all run by different types of the same morons, does it really matter whose is worse? Its not a race to the bottom.  I, for one, cant wait until tomorrow to hear about how much sales are down on boxing day this year and all the  small business JOB CREATORS are struggling to cope with it.
