Can't disagree more. Canada extracts resources and cuts trees and grows weed, period. That is it. Nothing else. All else is services: Telecoms, banks, and house flipping. Basically services that are priced through government blessings to exploit Canadians and produce nothing of value other than keeping the Canadian population connected and alive. Regarding Canada's value to the outside of the world, its basically commodities, that is it. All else is domestic transfer from the middle class to a few monopolistic corporations that are tightly connected to the government and get away with charging whatever they choose. The empty pockets of the middle class are then on a frequent basis refilled by taking on ever more debt and distributing it through all sorts of handouts.
For those who can't figure out why markets don't crash ...

Grab any Canadian investing book, and they first thing a newbie learns is that Canadian banks charge the highest fees in the world.
How do they get away with it in this day and age? Simple, the Government doesn't want to risk its banks competing with foreign banks. Therefore, you're stuck with only a handful to choose from in the monopoly.

I blocked you because you are a loser who is constantly trolling on here. You posted the worst analysis of ATH when it was $1.61 not very long ago and now its $2.04 ( touched $2.17 today ). Most of your posts are dripping with negativity, otherwise I could overlook your lack of good judgement. Surely there is more to you then what you've been posting the last month.
We Canadians are some of the most complacent and easy going creatures in the Western world. I would not be surprised to hear that more Canadians died from a heart attack when they learned of the trucker protests than those who died from covid. Protesting and speaking one's mind and expressing anger about wrongdoing seems to be a sin in this country, at least for a long time now...sticking to the queue and ducking one's head is the mode of the day...that is why bad actors in this country get away with virtually anything. Drug dealers that get found with massive amounts of dope and illegal weapons in this country are not arrested but released and free until their day in court. Most crimes are committed by repeat offenders. Yet, nobody utters a word, nobody expresses their bewilderment and outrage.
We pay the highest fees for almost any service in the Western developed world (except skate rink fees) because nobody expresses their desire to want it any other way.

You're a wordy, cynical, and mostly clueless idiot that's for sure. Funny how well Canadians compete on the global stage but you are projecting your own weaknesses in detail on here. With a new account no less. Not even a creative troll job just a long drawn out bunch of whining.
So what do you think? As the leading Canadian poster here, do you think M.W. is a true genuine Canadian, or a CINO?
How about you refer to the message instead of attacking the person. Which part of the economy reflects Canadian greatness? Why don't you enlighten all of us? none of my comments above were meant to be cynical. If you turned off your radio station tuned to Justin then perhaps you would have a little more visibility about the true state of the economy.
By the way are you talking about the recent winter Olympic games where we Canadians were beaten by a nation in central Europe with very little snow or the tiny nation in Scandinavia that has a small fraction of the people compared to Canada and an even tinier fraction of land? How left really are you?

Sorry, but someone has to let you know you're dumb; perhaps your family tired of doing so. Are you referring to the Olympics that Canada got more medals then the US and were 3rd or 4th in the world ? Yes, Canada is proud of their athletes and their excellent showing. Why are so obsessed with Justin and the "left" ? That's a dead give away actually that you are American. Oooops you blew your cover dumb ass.
You started the national pride thing about Canada clearly referring to the recent Olympics, not I. Obsessed with Trudeau? That was one of my first post in this forum, how do you know what I am obsessed about? And I am not American. Debate the issue or stay out or put me on ignore.

I never referred to the recent Olympics, dumb ass, until you did. Not your first post on this forum, dumb ass. Please do ignore me, dumb ass. It's my thread, dumb ass, not yours, so you can get lost. Run along now.
