Buckle Up: The Recession They Lied About is Here to Wreck Your Life

For months, they told you it was a "soft landing." They insisted a recession wasn't inevitable. They used weasel words like "technical correction" and "growth slowdown." They lied. The recession that the Ottawa elites and Bay Street economists swore wouldn't happen is now officially upon us, and it’s about to unleash a world of pain on Canadian families who were already stretched to the breaking point.

This wasn't an accident; it was an inevitability created by their own gross incompetence. After years of flooding the economy with cheap, printed money to finance government spending and inflate a housing bubble, the Bank of Canada slammed on the brakes with the most aggressive interest rate hikes in history. They broke the back of the economy on purpose, and now they expect you to suffer the consequences quietly. Get ready for the headlines: mass layoffs, small business bankruptcies, mortgage defaults, and a freeze on wages.

The people who caused this will be fine. The politicians have their pensions, the bankers have their bonuses, and the wealthy have their asset portfolios. This recession is a weapon aimed directly at the middle class. It’s designed to discipline workers, drive down wages, and ensure the system that benefits the few at the expense of the many remains intact. They told you there was nothing to worry about. They were wrong. Or worse, they knew all along and simply didn't care what it would do to you.
