We’re like Mississippi and Kentucky, right? I think?

Things have been getting steadily worse here.

Everywhere.

I just asked Grok if it thinks Carney or Poilevre will win the next election.

 

Grok didn't know Carney was just minted Canada's new PM, and suggested Carney may run against Poilevre, or may not.

 

 

I stopped reading Grok's musings after that.

Carney will win a majority. Poilievre didn’t adapt to the not-Trudeau candidate.

Quick election period. Liberal majority. More of the same. Then annexation.

The campaign hasn't started yet, we will see how Poilievre adapts then.

 

Carney will lose badly in any debate.

I don't see this happening but if Poilievre manages to fumble this election it would be an all-time political faceplant. Even a con minority would be pretty funny with the hand he's been dealt.

I fear this but have some hope Carney fumbles.

338 currently has LPC winning 178 seats and the CPC 129.

They give the cons only 8% chance of forming government.

No matter who wins, the loser will have completed the greatest fumble of all time.

Virginia all year round is starting to make sense. At least I have a family doctor there.

If a large number of the people  causing population increases are students and not employed  at all or only part time then the GDP per person would be expected to decline?

If a large number of the people  causing population increases are students and not employed  at all 

The chart says “GDP per worker"

[Tony]

Good point  per worker.       It would effect GDP per capita.

 

Full time equivalent? Is it prorated data?

 

Any country/province etc. with a larger than average part time working population would show a lower GDP per worker if it is not prorated? The participation rate especially for young and partially retired workers would also impact the results.

The loser, if it's the CPC didn't fumble, the Canadian electorate did.

What a three months it's been.

Looks like a lib minority with NDP. Just about were we started.

Nope, the liberals know they don't have to form a partnership with anyone, the NDP is broke and cannot afford to have the government fall and create another election. The libs will just perform as if they have a majority.

[lanforod]

Yeah, though I could see them attempt to get a few NDP to cross floors.
