A port is dead ahead, and Canada’s economic ship is moving far too fast to swerve. You can feel the rumble in the hull. Insolvencies are up, the housing market is teetering between agents whose solution when something doesn’t sell, such as the thousands of empty Toronto condos, is to “ask more, it always works” and relisting endlessly a few days, weeks, months later in hopes this time around it will fetch that way too high price. Job growth has flatlined, food prices are climbing again, and immigration continues at record levels without infrastructure to absorb the impact.
Now we’ve got Mark Carney at the helm as Prime Minister, and instead of adjusting course, he’s doubling down on the very policies that helped get us here.
This isn’t economic forecasting. This is physics. Momentum like this doesn’t just slow down. In ideal conditions, a ship of this size needs four kilometres to dock comfortably. We're down to one and running out of time. If your financial dock isn’t fortified, it won’t just shake. It will disintegrate.
Welcome to the Carney Era: No Brake Pedal, No Map
Let’s be clear: Prime Minister Carney is not a saviour. He’s a central banker turned politician, now using the same tools that broke the machine to fix it. He will be leading our great country into the next recession.
- Carney has ZERO plan to balance the budget. Not eventually. Not ever.
- He plans to add another $225 billion in new debt. That’s not a rescue. That’s lighting the lifeboats on fire.
-
Federal spending has nearly doubled in just 10 years.
2016: $250 billion
2025: $487 billion (Estimated- Could be more) - Tariff threats are making it impossible to predict what is necessary. Even if we increase interprovincial trade without barriers, it will take years to make it work through the bureaucratic red tape our politicians have interwoven into their policies. And this does not account for the decades of infrastructure projects that will be required to “Make it Canadian” when it comes to manufacturing and so forth.
- Canada hasn’t created net new jobs in over two years.
- In March, we lost even more jobs. Yes, lost.
- Unemployment for Canadians under 25 is now 14.1%.
- Yet we brought in 3.3 million immigrants and record numbers of temporary foreign workers. That’s not immigration. That’s mismanagement.
We're being told this is all "under control." But those voices told you interest rates would stay low forever and inflation was “transitory.”
Simplicity Is Power
Now more than ever, the smart move is not complexity. It’s clarity. Simplicity is not stupidity. It’s wisdom, stripped of fluff and delivered in time to act. Here are the basics that still work:
- Own your home when possible. You’ll sleep better.
- Pay down debt. It’s the fastest raise you’ll ever get.
- Know where your money is. If you cannot answer this question, you are in trouble. “Name 50% or more of the companies in any fund held within your RRSP, TFSA or other investments.” I already know you cannot do it.
- Diversify your wealth strategy. That means owning real, physical gold and silver, not paper promises.
- Be your own central bank. The Bank of Canada won’t save you. Gold and silver aren’t dependent on election cycles or fiscal fairy tales.
Fortify Before the Bow Hits
This economy is not going to glide to a soft landing. The bow is pointed squarely at a brick wall, and the people steering are accelerating the throttle. If your dock—your financial foundation—is built on speculation and debt, it’s going down.
Gold and silver are not “investments” in the conventional sense. They are insurance. They are ballast. They are anchors when the storm hits.
At Delta Harbour, we help you build with stone, not straw. We don’t chase shiny trends—we hold timeless value. We’ve seen the data, know the terrain, and are ringing the alarm.
This is not a drill. The threats are real. And the dock is closer than anyone on this ocean liner wants to admit.
Yours to the penny,
Darren V. Long
