The Eternal Stupidity of the Canadian Boomer Voter

Please look at facts, for God's sake, you aren't electing a drinking buddy. And Carney is actually a complete ass, known for his volcanic temper and his general contempt for inferiors (all of us)

This could end up being the biggest mistake in Canadian political history.

Analysis of the Top Five Stupidities of Carney’s "All-in-Canada" Car Idea

Ignoring Global Supply Chains

Carney’s vision of a fully Canadian-made car overlooks the reality of modern manufacturing. The auto industry relies on intricate, cost-efficient global supply chains—think semiconductors from Asia, steel from the U.S., or batteries from China.

Forcing every component to be made in Canada would skyrocket costs, making these cars uncompetitive against foreign brands. It’s a fantasy of autarky in a world that thrives on interdependence.

Underestimating Resource Dependency

Canada’s economy leans heavily on its resource sector—about 25% of GDP comes from oil, gas, mining, and forestry. Carney’s push for a green-focused auto industry dismisses this strength, betting instead on unproven "green jobs" in a sector lacking scale. It’s like trading a reliable workhorse for a shiny, untested pony.

Overlooking Market Demand

Canadians buy cars based on price, quality, and brand—not national pride. A "Made in Canada" car risks being a niche product nobody wants, especially if it’s pricier due to domestic-only production. Carney thinks patriotism will override wallets, a pipe dream in a free market.

Costly Climate Obsession

Carney’s a banker, not a politician or industrialist. He’s never run a government or built a factory. Proposing a radical overhaul of an industry he doesn’t fully grasp shows a disconnect from the gritty realities of manufacturing and policy-making.

It’s a rookie mistake dressed up as a bold vision.
