If we write off the US what does that do to our standard of living?

Assuming pipelines are obviously orders of magnitude more efficient than shipping by tanker. It also then still requires a pipeline to the east coast as a first step, which we cant get built due to Quebec. All these costs and we then have to compete with people who can build pipelines to Europe.

My opinion is anyone but the Liberals, in order to create real world consequences for doing population driven QE. It should be a warning to all that it is a way to lose elections, since it dramatically hurts the poor and causes shortages without creating real prosperity.

We essentially inverted the phillips curve, which BoC publications say the labor shortage is a natural phenomenon after QE in order to restore the created wealth inequality from asset price inflation, so we shouldnt be trying to fill the temporal labor shortage before the Bank of Canada raises rates to cool the job market and asset prices.

Hes also just going to ignore the damage the Liberals have done the last 10 years and the fact his entire cabinet is exactly the same people?

Worst per capita GDP growth compared to the other 37 countries in the OECD, of course leading to stagnant wages for which we imported mass immigrants to artificially boost GDP, that the UN then defined as modern slavery due to inhumane living conditions. Then scandal after scandal, with even Carney himself recently avowing a person who said we should ship a Canadian tweeting in Canada to China for speaking out against the CPC. All on top of a world leading housing crisis that seems inevitable after that level of mismanagement.

Canada deserves what we get if we elect the Liberals again. More foreign funded Hereditary chiefs blocking pipelines, more debt spent on consumption and consultants to hide falling economic growth, and higher home prices as Carney himself said he would do nearly double what Harper was doing a decade ago now during an extreme housing crisis. The poor will be ground to dust and you will blame Trump as if these problems hadnt existed before his tariffs a month ago.

He also already rolled back the capital gains tax, the one good thing they did, but I knew when Trudeau put it in they would repeal it before it gathered a solitary dime.

Central banks dont recognize it themselves given the huge amount of money being ploughed into housing, to attain the rampant speculation their low interest policies created. There was an article I saw today that there isnt even a housing shortage, just dimwitted people bidding up home values much like the US prior to 2008.

Housing obviously acts as a liquidity sponge for debt to increase the wealth effect, but surely there is a reckoning like the US had at the end of all of this.

Mark Miller was the one who said it. He said immigration helped us avoid a recession, which means GDP would have shrunk without them.

Sorry, median I meant. Obviously averages are a poor measurement for salaries.

Which Canadians cannot afford. Because we are poorer than the poorest US state, and our productivity investment is at alarm levels according to our own BoC.

This is the tradgedy of the commons right here, we had a lost decade of per capita GDP growth, lowest in the OECD; but the average person wants to continue running up debt to “help” all those people who are now suffering. Most of our problems seem to be own goals, from housing to stagnant wages, as we pushed mass immigration to artificially boost GDP to hide our poor economic record, and we wonder why we now have doctor shortages.

For those that are stuck with these lunatics that want 4 more years of this, just invest in XAW.TO to stay afloat. Its low fee and globally diverse minus Canada. Though if they become a green energy superpower, by shipping their intermittent wind and solar power to the US, you’ll miss out on all those gains /s.

Median I meant. Its also significantly cheaper for housing in mississippi. Taxes are definitely cheaper there, where given your dollars value more of your taxes fall under a lower tax bracket, and if I’m not mistaken Mississippi just cut their income tax entirely.

Again this is the worst US state we are comparing to, I’m not trying to pump them up as something amazing.

Ban new nuclear development and direct federal investment exclusively to proven, cost-effective renewable energy solutions

Banning the most green solution while pushing wind and solar, which require expensive investments into backup power like coal to deal with brownouts, is a foolish idea. That makes me rank you a 0.

Why should the poor fund the rich to replace their 3 year old Lexus with an EV, surely funding mass transit makes far more sense?

Why do we even want to push car centric urban sprawl in the first place during a massive housing shortage where everything should be being rezoned for density, or the fact we are borrowing public money that we then pay perpetual interest on to gift to for-profit corporations. This whole thing is messed up, and its no wonder Canada has so many problems when our politicians are this corrupt.

We have had stagnant GDP growth for a decade, exploding housing prices, doctor shortage, food bank usage is skyrocketing, people are living in rest stops, on average we are poorer than the poorest state as they attempt to plaster over falling GDP using mass immigration. That is why Liberals are bad and why economic growth is important, part of that is dropping taxes so we can accrue investment, as the Bank of Canada literally raises the alarm bells for a lack of productive investment into Canada.

When you hurt poor people this badly for a decade usually you’d recognize the reality around you. If you’re going to tax people it also needs to be spent on something productive, not consumption but mass transit, why we still dont have high speed rail spanning from every major city while spending this much is a joke.

We have a lower average median wage than the poorest state, and house prices that rival the US most expensive cities. Trump might be right when he says we cant govern ourselves, at least when people keep voting for the same cabinet that got us here, there might be something in the water at this point that requires urgent investigation.

Try the downvote button, it will hide it so you and others dont have to see it.

Carney said he would use AI to cut government costs and balance the operational budget. Isnt that DOGE?

I’ve never been to Niagra, but looking at it it seems houses are actually insanely cheap there, this is a beautiful home right near the river. Whys it so different now from everywhere else in Canada, how did prices stay back in time?

I’d assume because we are allied with Ukraine, and you’d see the opposite in Russia.
