1
The credit card economy.
2
Buy now, pay more, a lot more, a lot later.
3
Until you can't pay at all.
4
That is Canada today.
5
And I'm not talking about the $1.2 trillion of national government debt or the deficit that Mark Carney doubled.
6
I'm talking about the household debt,
7
mortgages, credit cards, lines of credit, car loans and more.
8
Canadian households now owe $1.77 for every dollar they bring home.
9
That makes us by far the worst in the G7.
10
Look at this graph.
11
The UK, the next highest G7 country,
12
is $1.20 of debt per dollar of earnings.
13
France, $1.08.
14
The United States, just $0.92, half of what it is in Canada.
15
That means Canadians are carrying nearly twice the household debt burden of Americans.
16
It wasn't always this way.
17
Back in the year 2000,
18
Canadian families owed $1.10 for every dollar they earned.
19
Now, at close to $1.80, up 60% in just one generation.
20
people's debts are far outgrowing their incomes and here is why it matters to you.
21
Debt is not just a number on a spreadsheet.
22
Debt is your future paycheck already spoken for.
23
It is money you have not earned yet already promised to someone else.
24
It means more of your money goes to the bank before you buy groceries,
25
save for retirement, put kids in sports or get ahead.
26
Today nearly 15 $0.15 of every dollar Canadians earn goes straight to personal debt payments.
27
$0.15 of every dollar!
28
That's nearing an all-time high.
29
How did we get here?
30
The Liberal government drove up the cost of living with high energy taxes,
31
money printing, inflation and gatekeeping that blocks homes, food, fuel and paychecks.
32
But the worst was housing.
33
After the pandemic, liberals made a terrible mistake.
34
On the advice of Mark Carney,
35
then Trudeau's economic advisor, they printed money to fund endless government spending,
36
most of it for programs that had nothing to do with COVID.
37
Even their mass migration overwhelmed housing demand,
38
all while government gatekeepers blocked supply.
39
More money and people bidding on fewer homes caused real estate hyperinflation.
40
The government told Canadians to borrow because rates would be low for long.
41
Well, surprise, surprise.
42
If you've got a mortgage or if you're considering to make a major purchase
43
or you're a business and you're considering making an investment,
44
you can be confident that interest rates will be low for a long time.
45
Canadians listened though.
46
They took out bigger mortgages,
47
they stretched their budgets, they bid over asking,
48
they waived conditions, not because they were being reckless,
49
but to pay the insane prices the government had imposed on them.
50
And to get into the market before liberal inflation
51
and housing failures pushed housing even higher and home ownership even further out of reach.
52
Then reality hit.
53
Inflation rose and interest rates went up.
54
Something Mark Carney wrongly predicted would never happen.
55
And do I worry about inflation?
56
Look, in the horizon of normal central bankers,
57
two to three years, the horizon for monitoring policy,
58
it is unlikely to materialize to a serious extent.
59
In fact, we need some inflation to to come off from where we are
60
because there is a lot of spare capacity in this economy.
61
And families who had been pushed into massive mortgages got hit with massive increases in their monthly payments.
62
Now the liberal housing bubble has burst.
63
Home values are now falling,
64
but the debt is still there.
65
The mortgage does not shrink just because the house is worth less.
66
That's why debt is so dangerous.
67
On the way up, it creates the illusion of wealth.
68
On the way down, it traps you.
69
The asset falls, the payment rises,
70
the debt stays, and the paycheck gets squeezed from every side.
71
We see it happening now.
72
Mortgage arrears are rising, condo sales in Toronto and Vancouver at the lowest in decades.
73
Thousands of Canadians now own homes worth less than what they paid.
74
And the worst may still be coming.
75
By the end of 2027,
76
3.1 million mortgages will renew,
77
many at rates much higher than their original ultra-low levels of 2021-2022.
78
Now those families face payment increases of 15 to 20 percent,
79
and believe it or not,
80
20 percent of Canadians over 65 still carry mortgage debt into their retirement.
81
That's almost double the rates from two decades ago.
82
Consumer insolvencies are already rocketing up 8.5 percent annually in the first three months of 2026,
83
and 10.6% in March alone,
84
while mortgage delinquencies are up 45% in Toronto and 31% in Vancouver year over year.
85
On top of this personal debt,
86
government debt has doubled, forcing taxpayers to spend more on interest than on healthcare transfers.
87
That is the cost of Carney's credit card economy.
88
More of your tax dollars go to bankers and bondholders and less to doctors and nurses.
89
Now of course not everybody is suffering.
90
The club of insiders, elites and power brokers win because they collect the interest and the higher prices.
91
Here is Brookfield's CEO bragging about how inflation helps Mark Carney's company.
92
And many of our things are regulated rate-based or contractual in nature
93
and inflation is actually a positive to the numbers
94
so as inflation comes in it actually helps the revenue streams of those businesses.
95
Their profit is your misery and here's the conservative plan to turn misery into hope
96
and turn the credit card economy into a paycheck economy.
97
First, zero tax on gas for the rest of the year.
98
Money back in your pocket.
99
Second, cut government waste so that we can bring down deficits,
100
taxes, inflation and interest rates.
101
Third, unblock Canadian resources and unlock free enterprise.
102
Oil, gas, critical minerals, pipelines, mines, ports, factories, homes.
103
The world needs what Canada has.
104
Let's get the government out of the way and get the resources out of the ground.
105
Free enterprise will also allow our small businesses to produce more paychecks that pay down our debts.
106
The Kearney Liberals created the credit card economy built on debt,
107
inflated assets and borrowed money.
108
Conservatives will build an economy based on production,
109
stronger take-home pay and affordable living.
110
Less debt, less taxes, less inflation.
111
Affordable at home, safe at home and strong at home.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
