105% value isn't bad for not being in the best country on earth, friend. Assuming OP pic is in Canabux. Also, $800 on a card that isn't even released yet is great.

>>340600543
That's not the only reason it's expensive.
Memes aside, Canadian currency sucks massive ass. It's recently been getting devalued which means foreign goods will be more expensive. Canada is an oil nation, and the lowering oil price hit it hard.
Because Canada's economy is going down the drain. Trudy is too busy jerking off refugees and LGBT to even bother trying to fix it. Shocking how high is approval rate is, even though he is making things worse economically.

>>340601579
We've been a resource based economy for a long time now and if you understood economics you'd know that the leader of a country does not dictate the direction the economy takes. More often than not, their policies fail to have any real impact on the economy. We have a petro dollar because we have nothing to offer except things extracted from the ground. We're reliant on oil by default, not because one PM decided to make us so.

Naw, this is what we get with 10 years of no competition to the Conservative party and a robot in office. The state of Canadian politics is abysmal right now.
People will tell you it's Trudeau's fault the dollar fell despite the dollar being on the decline for the past 3-4 years and oil hitting the floor recently. Same fucking thing happened to every oil based economy and the dollar has been on the rise since the price drop. Don't listen to fucking idiots on this board.

Yes, we are reliant on oil but the government 100% has an effect on the economy and Harper's inflation of our dollar by making oil our most relied on resource is fault for out dollar being at 80 cents US.
>>340602176
Trudeau became Prime minister in late October 2015, you really expect him to fix everything in half a year? I don't expect any serious change until a couple years from now and you shouldn't either. The dollar has been on the rise since his time in office.
>>340602061

>>340602840
I don't expect the dude to fix it all in a year, it's just how he's currently handling things doesn't seem ideal. For example the lack help Fort Mac gets, weed legalization mess, and
>>340602301
the cabinet thing is pretty dumb, who knows. If I'm proven wrong that's a great thing though
>>340602840
>Harper's inflation of our dollar by making oil our most relied on resource is fault for out dollar being at 80 cents US.
Tell me Anon, what could Harper have done differently so as to significantly impact our economic distribution? You seem to think the federal government has the power to dictate how our resources are segregated and who gets to set up shop there.
>>340600718
What about loli?
>>340602840
>you really expect him to fix everything in half a year?
I expect him to make logical, if not good progress.
What I don't expect him to do is blunder the whole weed legalization thing, import hundreds of thousands of refugees, and have zero plan on how to rebuild our economy other than 'spend'.
Protip: Our economy isn't one where you spend your way out of.
>>340602840
>>Harper loosens restrictions of oil companies setting up shop
It was already incredibly easy. The notion that Canada is some kind of econ friendly green nation was always a myth. He was merely getting more of the same as we had many companies trying to get into Alberta as the price of oil was at an all time high.
>>Tries to set up new trans national pipelines
Failed.
>>Tries to strongarm THE FUCKING US into the new pipeline he wanted
Failed.
As I said, and as historical facts support, leaders throughout history have had very little to do with the economies in their nations. It's far more dependent on where in the cycle we are and how the overall world economy is doing. Things are so interconnected that one leader, especially in a medium sized, export dependent country like Canada, can't possibly hope to have any real influence on his country's economy. The only exception to this rule would be the US president as he's at the head of the world's only superpower and by far the world's largest economy.

>>340603138
Fort Mac got the help it needed and the fire is under control.
Part of the reason weed legalization is going poorly is because other countries are raising a big stink about it. We're part of international treaties that ensure it stays illegal. Besides that we'd have to set up systems to regulate it's use. If it's not legalized by the end of his first term then sure he fucked up but jesus christ you all expect things to be done in record breaking time.
>>340602710
Idk, as crazy as it is to have such a military centres economy, I think it's all but impossible for us to get off this track. At this point there's so much national pride tied to our military, to our troops, etc, anybody even suggesting cutting back will be seen as insane despite the fact that the military budgets so big even a billion dollar cut would be a drop in the bucket

A drastic reduction to military spending would still easily yield the world's most powerful military. It's far beyond overkill right now, especially considering today's enemies.

Trudeau's alright but people expect him to be some kind of savior of Canada. Harper was mediocre and generally did some questionable things that people really didn't like.
Things like pushing the TPP, getting rid of the census, passing a new law that made people with dual citizenship second class citizens, trying to force the US into trade deals it didn't want and the Senate scandal.
To be honest the real reason Trudeau has the majority he does is because all the progressive types didn't trust the party they wanted to win to clinch the election. They all wanted to NDP to win but voted Liberal to keep Harper out of office. I'd rather not see 100,000 refugees in the country but I don't really care about having 50/50 men and women in cabinet if they're good at their jobs. It's still to early to tell if Trudeau will fuck us forever or not.
Another reason the Liberals won is because they promised more military spending and an expansion of the Navy and since the Maritimes depend on that they jumped to support him.
>>340604176
Definitely, but the idea of making a cut, as in literally the notion itself, is abhorrent to the public. Like politically speaking it's unamerican to suggest it
>>340603967
Harper was crazy, but Trudeau is also crazy on the other end of the political spectrum.
>>340604472
>100,000
try 500,000
>>340599794
>>340600170
Or if you know someone stateside send them the maplebucks and have them buy it from you then just mail it.
>>340604486
Yeah, very true.
>>340603320
Wait, that fucking pipeline was a Canadia idea?
Fucking hell. I though you people were better than this.
>The only exception to this rule would be the US president
Nah. He and congress answer to those who funded their campaigns, and lobby for their way. If you think the American leaders are the exception, you really mean their corporate backers are the ones in charge.Which is mostly true. See the world economy, circa 2008.
>>340604624
Their promises and projections were all for 100,000. We're not even at 25,000 yet I don't think.
>>340604472
>I don't really care about having 50/50 men and women in cabinet if they're good at their jobs
Neither do most people. Problem is that they were chosen first and foremost because they were women, not because of ability.
In case anyone cares on the Canadian Amazon FFXV is like 49.99 for pre order for whatever reason.

>>340604694
I don't think that spending 4% of the GDP on military spending is overkill
>>340604751
Yes, the pipeline is something the Conservatives really wanted. We're sorry.
>>340604472
>Another reason the Liberals won is because they promised more military spending and an expansion of the Navy and since the Maritimes depend on that they jumped to support him.
This was the dumbest thing
I mean I don't want the maritimes to be poor but the answer to that in the long term isn't "well if we just build infinite ships they'll be fine"
We're just forcing them to continue to focus their provincial budgets around that shit and then in 20 years when everyone goes "okay cool it a second we've got enough goddamned boats" they get effed again>>340604751
>Fucking hell. I though you people were better than this.
Shitting on our principles to appeal to Alberta, another thing we've got our last prime minister to thank for
>>340603490
To be fair, Ontario and Quebec had some huge investigations a few years back for peddling tax money through their friends and/or mafia owned company's, massively overpaying for "work" and lining every-ones pockets in the process.
>>340604751
>Fucking hell. I though you people were better than this.
That's the myth.
>Nah. He and congress answer to those who funded their campaigns, and lobby for their way. If you think the American leaders are the exception, you really mean their corporate backers are the ones in charge.
Like any other democratically elected leader, there are hurdles between his ideas and making them a reality. Ultimately though, if there is a single democratically elected leader who can have the most influence on their country's economy it's the US president because of that country's sheer economic strength. Policies in the US change policies worldwide but the reverse is rarely true.
This has something to do with it
>>340603821
>I think it's all but impossible for us to get off this track.
I'm the guy you were responding to.
I fucking agree. That's the issue. I really don't think anything will change. We will watch our country crumble from the inside out, not because of the dirty Mexicans and niggers, but because of our own people's incompetence and emotional reactions, and our government corruption.
I'm ready for WW3. I'm so tired of everything.
>>340605071
As an isolated figure maybe that seems reasonable
But when you look at our healthcare system, education system, etc, to contextualise it you get a different picture
>>340605086
I've worked in the construction industry. Believe me, any company will tell you that there's literally nothing sweeter than a government contract.
>>340605086
Shit that's right, and the bidding system in mtl for government contracts is still completely insane as a result
>>340604783
If they're good at their jobs their gender doesn't really matter does it. People focus on their gender but we've seen an increase in the dollar from it's fall earlier in the year. I doubt we'll ever see it reach parity with the US again and 80 US is actually pretty fucking good.
I don't want the refugees but if people actually wrote to their MP you might be able to convince them it's a bad idea.

It is when it equates to more than the rest of the world's military spending combined when there are no legitimate threats. If we want security from our enemies we simply need to make sure they don't smuggle themselves in to perform some kind of small scale attack on civilians as they have no hope of a traditional invasion or attack.

Totally agreed, but you really start on the left foot when you begin your search for cabinet ministers based on whether they have a penis or vagina and not how well they can actually do the job.
>>340605597
>the left foot when you begin your search for cabinet ministers based on whether they have a penis or vagina
No, you start on a retarded foot. It turns out you can't let any human group into power, left or right, lest it turn fucking retarded. Because people are retarded. We are doomed.
>>340600797
>How can I get down to the US and live somewhere that I can actually do something with a handgun?
Whatever you do, you better do it soon. Hillary could easily be president in a few months, and then things are going to be fucked, expect general bans on firearms in pretty much any city or town with more than 1000 people in it.
>>340605082
He didn't promise infinite ships, he promised more military spending which the Conservatives cut. You also have to remember it was the Conservatives that wanted the F35 so badly. WHERE ARE OUR F35S AMERICA?
Part of the reason the Maritimes are doing so badly is because of their own policies and the brain drain. We could honestly use more ships since our Navy is in a pretty fucking weak state.
>>340605267
Honestly part of the reason our economies are weakening is because of shipping manufacturing overseas. I really fucking hope Trump can actually follow through on his promise of bringing manufacturing back because we could use ours back too. Right now it seems like a lot of the US's problems are spending money on do nothing programs.
I honestly don't know how to fix your education system but I don't think throwing more money at it will fix it. It's probably sick at it's core and needs a philosophy change.
>>340605468
>no legitimate threats.
China slinging it's micro dick across the South China Sea is a considerable threat. Russia annexing Crimea and threatening NATO is a legitimate threat. Not saying a spending cut isn't warranted, but let's not pretend like there are no heavy hitters out there.
>>340605837
>general bans on firearms in pretty much any city or town with more than 1000 people in it.
I am as leftist as it gets.
If you really expect gun culture to suddenly disappear in the grand ol' USA, you are a fucking retard. If you expect Hilary of all people to enact that change, you are even more retarded.
Fucking kill yourself.
>>340605837
Obama is more antigun than her and after 8 years in office every gun grabbing piece of legislation he tried to force was knocked down by the people. I don't see Clinton doing any better.
>>340605468
True, and I think part of the problem is trying to invent a new global threat. Trying to turn Russia into an enemy again is retarded and the Obama administration's destabilizing of the Middle East is making everything worse for everyone.
Please god vote Trump in the coming election.
>>340605901
Neither of those two examples of failing economies exerting their influence over powerless neighbours pose and real threat the the United States in any way.
>>340605597
Completely fair point.
I worked in the house of commons for a year, though, and honestly this isn't meant to be a disparaging content or a cynical jab at government, but like 100% of working in parliament relies on two skills that can be found literally anywhere: time management and networking. Three skills if you count being a workaholic.
It doesn't matter where they went to school, what they studied, where they worked before. Nothing. What matters is that they put in stupid hours, have to meet with all manner of people constantly while marking a bunch of decisions for their subordinates. Anybody could work in that capacity for one day, there's no special knowledge they possess. The trick is they're able to keep it up for months at a time without (or before) burning out

Not for everything and there are import duties you have to pay for a lot of things. I ordered a helmet from the US and the import duties ended up jacking up the price by a third of the cost of the thing.

>>340606475

So what were you saying exactly? That these countries aren't major threats if they exert major control over one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world? Or steal territory from US allies? How is that anything but a threat?

This is weird, in the EU, we actually get lower prices for products from other EU members, not higher, what the actual fuck?

Look up what the 13th amendment is and then come back.
>>340606587
I dunno anon, but the Maritimes voted overwhelmingly Liberal. I have two relatives in the Navy and they both really wanted an increase in Navy spending.

>>340606651

You really should start by asking for clarification when you clearly don't understand what you're reading.
The subject was threats to American security, not our commitment to our allies or the possible economic implications of foreign countries making a push into territory that isn't ours. These two situations pose absolutely no threat to American safety whatsoever.

The price isn't much higher than it should be. Purely based on exchange rates the price should be about 890 but it's at 930 at Best Buy. On Newegg you can get them for about 900 and the EVGA one is 820.

Ran an mp's office, which mostly entailed scheduling shit, herding a handful of paid interns (awful because the only thing they cared about was what tasks they could glom onto so it would look good on their CV while dodging any work they had to actually do) and a handful of volunteers to take care if day to day shit like responding to constituents etc, and organising functions and meetings with lobbyists or special interest groups
Also not that hard a job to do. All you need is a couple suits, an erratic sleep schedule and a willingness to keep a work phone on your person that you never turn off. Pays decently though

She's not going to go through the people, she's going to go through SCOTUS for that shit.
On top of that, you're probably going see a big shift and see Democrats take the Senate, and gain big in the house.
>>340605970
Yeah dude, San Diego definetly didn't just say you have no right for CC, and combine that with an open carry ban and then it's households only.
Hillary definitely hasn't also thought that an Australian-style mass confiscation was a great idea.
Oh wait, but also you can't have a whole slew of rifles, magazines getting banned, ect. Then there's taxes and everything.
Yeah, gun culture maybe won't be dead, technically England has a gun culture as well.
Yeah, the 2nd amendment will be alive and well when you can pretty much only have some target 22LR and shit. I'm sure there will be some hold out states in the south and shit, but the vast majority of the country is going to be SOL. It also doesn't help that you've got straight up propaganda hitpieces for any remotely pro gun person or organization, to continue to push it.
I'm hoping the House manages to hold out, but all I'm saying to you Canada is you might want to do this sooner rather than later.
>>340602436
Politics aside. This is the real pleague in Canada. So many Canadians care about being perceived as the nice guy country. The fucked up thing is that I know for a fact Canadians take pleasure in feeling superior to the US even though the US couldn't care less. As a whole Canada has some kind of an inferiority complex.
>>340607672
That doesn't make the Emancipation Proclamation legal and it sure as fuck didn't fix the precedent that he set making the president above the law and allowing the president to make laws for whatever retarded reason.
>>340607528
Do you really not understand that China doesn't represent a military threat to America? The US fleet in the Pacific is stationed at bases to protect Korea and Japan, not the US. You're spending a fuckton of money defending countries and they're cutting their military budgets because they rely on you to do it.
If you honestly think any shitter country in South East Asia is going to attack the US you're retarded. China attacking the US is a death sentence for them.
>>340607784

It's Commiefornia, what do you expect? One city does not represent the entire country.

Jesus christ anon. Read.
>>340606774
>Haha remember when Obama was elected and gun sales went through the roof in anticipation of bans that never came?
Obama tried and failed, doesn't mean he didn't make a huge effort to try to enact bans and it wasn't unreasonable for people to purchase guns because it was very possible those could have passed and then they'd be shit out of luck, especially people who were around for the first AWB. Bans can and do happen, and it only happened to work out that Congress said no, but don't pretend that Obama, his administration, and most of the democrats made a huge attempt to do exactly that.
>>340607889
Do countries pay the us to protect them?
Non American here
The fuck is happening in this thread?
>>340608039
It made slavery illegal. It didn't make bullshit "executive actions" legal. Nobody challenges them because of the bullshit precedent by Abe Lincoln because in doing so, you'd be arguing he fucked up horribly, which would be political suicide AND it would remove power from those already in power. Why the fuck would they argue against something that makes them more powerful? Presidents do not have the authority for executive actions and everybody knows it but nobody seems to give a shit.
>>340608146
>Do countries pay the us to protect them?
Yes, and America gets benefits from having military bases stationed around the world, no matter what liberal 14 year olds think.

>She doesn't have that power and would be crucified if she tried it.
No, but she can make a huge push for it and get it through Congress, especially if there's a big shift, which is likely.
On top of that, you could propose literally any gun regulation you want, you can straight up say people have no right to self defense, no right for lethal force, whatever, and no one of any importance or concern will crucify you for it.
Who's going to say anything, the NRA? Who cares, they've been impotent for years on the federal level. Fox News maybe? No one takes them seriously, they're a joke, literally everyone considers them a joke. The Onion and the National Enquierer are taken more seriously than those two. And that's it, hell, the NRA and Fox News would be more likely to be crucified for opposing it than Clinton would be for proposing it.

>>340607889
Yielding free reign of the South China Sea, international waters mind you, to China, who will no doubt restrict access to others whenever it benefits them, will compromise American security. If you're thinking just in terms of attacking land borders, you have some serious misconceptions about what constitutes security.
>>340607919
Because that case will move up to the SCOTUS and will a few new judges in place, it's a perfect case to castrate the 2nd out of any meaningfulness. They're going to get another bite at the apple soon because of it, and that will set standards across all 50 states.
>>340608473

Everyone you stupid fuck. Were you not paying attention during the last rodeo? It wasn't just the NRA, it was gun rights groups and grassroots protests and organization out the wazoo.
>>340608683
>The dollar has only been shit since Trudeau was elected
Is this a ruse or are you actually that oblivious
>>340608730
So how would it compromise US security? The only thing it would do is limit US force projection which doesn't mean a loss of US security. It just means a lack of American power in the area. It's not the same fucking thing.
>>340608146
In some cases yes, and the US is desperately trying to tell people that Russia and China are credible military threats. In a lot of cases countries are cutting their military budgets and relying on the US to pick up the slack with their military. It's an unneeded drain on the US economy to protect against powerless boogeymen.
Russia and China are not credible threats to the US in any way.

Of which, again, are not taken seriously in any context outside of right wing circle jerks like Breitbart or something. For the other 98% of media outlets, the NRA, gun owners and gun rights advocates are only one tier above the KKK and the Westburo Baptist Church in mainstream public perception. You can literally shit on them whenever you want, as much as you want, and no one will say anything against it, and if they retort, they're hounded and vilified.
They are literally brought out to be publicly shamed. NRA, gun rights leaders, whatever, they pretty much get invited to CNN, ABC, whoever to get tarred and feathered and laughed at. That was the last rodeo after Newtown. It was a massive, 24/7 PR campaign mostly around laughing and demonizing gun owners and gun rights advocates, one that continues to this day. It was only by a fucking miracle those things didn't come to pass from other shitty systems in place, and it even killed off the one reform that was any good (universal background checks).

Not directly, it's sort of a mutualistic thing, but you could point out a direct "US Protection Payment" thing for a countries budget, but it's like lowering trade tariffs and preferable trade agreements between them and shit.
