It’s also opinion based trash, regardless of your bias.
Carney is an international banker.
I will be shocked if there’s any significant change in housing while he’s in charge.
I said just that during the elections and was downvoted.
Yeah, the
closet conservativescentrists probably didn’t enjoy being reminded of the reality of the political governance here in North America.I mean, had more people voted with their convictions rather than trying to beat the conservatives, we would still have ended up with a very weak minority conservative government with a stronger NDP, which wouldn’t have been that bad.
The Liberals and the NDP would’ve had to form a coalition and the NDP would’ve had a much stronger influence. They could have worked together to pass bills that improve our society and empower the middle-class, whether the Conservatives like it or not.
OR, if the Liberals had aligned with the Conservatives, then you would have seen an uproar, especially because of the current geopolitical context.
But we definitely need to give the NDP and the Greens more space. I hope people will remember that in the next elections.
I certainly am very disappointed in Carney’s government, but I’m not surprised at all. I knew this would happen and I don’t know what people expected out of an actual establishment world banker.
Hes still got us capped at 500k immigrants a year now which is double what Harper had, and theres talk of him reviving foreign buyers. His new housing minister actually says prices shouldnt come down, they clearly have no initiative to lower home prices.
I mean, screw his housing policies but immigrants are pretty much the lifeblood of developed economies. You cut that stuff and GDP takes a pretty strong hit. The end of the low-immigration path is a Japan-style slump, which is… not fun.
Unless we cut taxes and encouraged investment in Canada and grew GDP at a non-per capita level.
We were second last next to Luxembourg in the 38 countries of the OECD at per capita GDP growth since Trudeau took over.
In the end it doesn’t matter to me what Canada does, I keep my investments outside of Canada, and I have more Bitcoin than I do Canadian assets due to my level of trust in our government.
Unless we cut taxes and encouraged investment in Canada and grew GDP at a non-per capita level.
I mean this strategy has failed pretty decisively on multiple fronts over the last dew decades all over the globe. Cutting taxes means weaker social welfare, leading to an unhappy population and a one-way ticket to fascismland.
As far as I understand it we are at equilibrium this year for growth
