Look at the voters voting Liberal, its mostly boomers who want their housing value to keep rising.
Liberals try to straddle the two, they pretend to care about climate change to appease the youth while gaslighting them about housing and wage debasement, and they target boomers with people like Gregor Robinson who have dramatically raised home prices in Vancouver.
Need to depress those wages, despite double digit youth unemployment.
It is interesting how even Fox news is against Trump on it. It shows how the media controls policy I guess, when they suddenly cease their existing bias.
Ya I felt like Pierre around 2021, when we were doing mass immigration into a housing crisis and the media turned a blind eye. I’m pretty pessimistic on most Canadian media, Vassy excluded.
I do think immigration is the main cause of the unemployment crisis, mass immigration while the Bank of Canada raised interest rates was always going to cause mass unemployment.
During Covid they did stimulus and QE, which caused the 8% inflation. If you see the Phillips curve you’ll see that causes a labor shortage in the short term. This is a natural part of an economy, and wipes out the wealth inequality caused by asset appreciation via bargaining power for wages, if you rememeber the “quiet quitting” phenomenon a few years back.
The Federal government then did mass immigration, 1.4 million a year, tripling immigration over 3 years. They also allowed students to work 40 hours. This decreased labor pressure and lowered wage growth.
The Bank of Canada then raised interest rates to cool the job market. Now we have cooled wages, less need for workers, and an inevitable surplus of workers. All this was also done when we had a preexisting housing shortage, so rents and housing prices dramatically increased as well.
Do these people think you need energy exports to fund social programs and massive spending, haven’t they heard about trading homes back and forth forever?
Depends how many cabinet positions you have to give away.
Until the US refines them for us, because bureaucracy is too abundant here.
PPs bad plans, like “tying immigration to housing” whatever that means.

As for the 78 individuals under investigation, RCMP Assistant Commissioner John Brewer told CBC News that an “inordinate” number are foreign students.
Am I reading this wrong? Perhaps my reading comprehension is bad, but I didnt think so.
I think a built in antivirus isnt a bad idea, for free none the less.
Why are we wasting so much money trying to steal from legal gun owners, is there a problem with legal guns being used in crime?
As far as I was aware its bad vetting for immigration thats causing most of the problems, as they couldnt keep up with the mass immigration we did, as their budgets werent increased.
How so?
Because the flu is covered or something?
Its artisanal grade gaslighting we’ve had for long while now. Meanwhile everyone with a brain can figure out that its to hide falling economic growth, as Eby and the sane MP’s beg for them to stop.
Luckily we have Gregor Robinson as housing minister now, so we have the foremost expert in making housing unaffordable.
A lot. Including /r/canadahousing.
It makes sense though, because how could additional demand possibly create shortages?
My Always Gaping Asshole.
Well given they did mass immigration to intentionally debase salaries, after leading to skyrocketing asset prices via money printing and stimulus, so I’m going to say they wont do that. Remember the quiet quitting phenomenon we had around 2022 when wages were actually rising, how that was quickly squashed by our very own NDP/Liberal coalition?
Theres a reason the young are shifting to conservative while boomers love the Liberals, they protect their home values and their equity values. Then they make vague promises around climate change to fool the naive youth, while importing mass amounts of people into urban sprawl and hour long commutes since their housing plan is also intentionally ineffective.

Since pushing out Mulcair this party kind of died to anti-intellectualism. They are hardly a worker party now, still not disavowing mass immigration used to debase wages, after printing billions of dollars and having asset prices skyrocket. We get some wage pressure to deal with the inflation and they toe the Liberal line.
My theory is its war with China. The US has likely alerted other country that China will do to them that the US does to Iran, using social media to guide elections.
