Canada Is Digging Its Own Grave Economically


People walking on a city sidewalk near the Bank of Canada building, which has a stone facade. Trees and flags line the street.

Canada is at a breaking point, and we have no one to blame but ourselves. We have chased away industry, stifled our economy with reckless policies, and let ideology take priority over common sense. Now, we stand on the edge of a decision that will either set us on a path to recovery or push us further into economic decline. The choice is clear: We either reverse course or collapse under the weight of bad policy and political fantasy.


We have allowed our leaders to dictate an energy and economic agenda that cripples our own industries while the biggest polluters in the world—China, India, and Russia—continue full steam ahead, laughing at our self-imposed restrictions. We have killed pipeline projects that could have provided secure, affordable energy to our own citizens and trading partners. We have burdened businesses with regulations and taxes that make it impossible to invest in our own country. We have turned our back on the resource wealth that built this nation. And now, we are expected to believe that more of the same will somehow fix the problem?


It won’t.


A Deliberate Destruction of Canada’s Economy


Since 2015, Canada has lost more than $225 billion in capital investment—money that could have created jobs, built infrastructure, and secured our future. But instead of addressing why businesses are leaving, our leaders have doubled down on anti-growth policies, making it harder for companies to operate. We’ve seen massive investments in the energy sector go elsewhere, not because Canada lacks resources but because we have made it clear that investment here isn’t welcome.


Take our oil and gas industry—one of the cleanest and most ethical in the world. It has been vilified and squeezed, while foreign oil from dictatorships with no environmental standards continues to flow into our ports. It’s insanity. Natural gas, one of the cleanest and most efficient energy sources, is being demonized by activists who don’t seem to care that other nations are expanding their use of coal. Meanwhile, we get lectured on carbon footprints while countries like China build two new coal plants per week. Does anyone truly believe Canada’s tiny fraction of global emissions is the problem?


This isn’t about the environment anymore—it’s about control. The same people who want to shut down the oil and gas industry refuse to acknowledge that wind and solar are unreliable without a massive, stable energy backup. Instead of investing in practical, balanced energy solutions—including nuclear and cleaner fossil fuel technologies—our government is obsessed with eliminating fossil fuels entirely, no matter the cost.


Mark Carney and the Path to Economic Ruin


Now, we are watching as Mark Carney prepares to take over the Liberal Party and push Canada even further down this dead-end road. His plan? Spend another $80 billion per year chasing climate perfectionism, all while the country’s economic foundation crumbles. Carney and his allies in Ottawa want you to believe this is an “opportunity.” In reality, it is an economic suicide mission.


Other countries have already figured this out. The U.S., Germany, and Italy are reversing course, bringing back reliable energy sources and cutting back on their green policies that have failed. But Canada? We’re digging in deeper, ignoring the warning signs, and pretending that we are leading the world when in reality, we are falling behind.


We are losing manufacturing because we made it too expensive to operate here. We are losing energy investment because we have strangled it with regulations. We are watching our national debt skyrocket because we spend billions on programs that do nothing to grow our economy.


We have done this to ourselves.


We Need to Reverse Course—Now


The solution is not complicated. We need to reverse the damaging policies that have driven businesses, jobs, and investment out of this country. That does not mean abandoning environmental responsibility—it means balancing it with economic survival.

We need pipelines, natural gas, and responsible resource development. We need to support industries that provide jobs and generate revenue instead of punishing them with ever-increasing taxes and regulations. We need to encourage investment by making Canada competitive again, not by pushing businesses to the U.S. and beyond.


Most importantly, we need leaders who put Canada first—not activists, global bureaucrats, or radical environmental groups. Real people, real businesses, and real workers need sensible policies. The country cannot survive on slogans and wishful thinking; it needs a functioning economy.


The Choice Is Ours


This is not just about politics. This is about whether Canada can survive as a prosperous nation. If we continue down the current path, we will not recover. The economy will shrink, our debt will balloon, and the industries that once made this country strong will be gone for good.

The next election will be a defining moment. Should we choose common sense or continue to let ideology drive us deeper into economic chaos? The answer should be obvious.


It’s time to stop digging. It’s time to rebuild. And it starts with reversing the mistakes that got us here in the first place.
