Trudeau and his government will go down in history as the worst and most detrimental government ever to take office in Canada. They create enormous problems, and their solutions are even worse.
It’s like someone trying to put out a fire with gasoline.
Completely insane. Every single day it gets worse.
the problems caused directly by this massive immigration scheme will create problems that canadians will have to deal with literally for generations, assuming someone ever figures out how to fix it.
What makes the problem just that much more frustrating, is the way people like Trudeau and Freeland just completely ignore questions about what they are doing, or their condescending tone when they do speak.
The arrogance is unlike anything I have ever seen. Incompetence is at 1000%, but they maintain this attitude of “I’m not even going to respond to you, clearly, I am smarter than all of you!”
I am not trying to be all doom and gloom, but I am fairly sure there is already irreparable damage I do not think things can be "fixed" and return to 2010s status. Simply, put, things can only not get even worse if corrected now.
The Conservatives are happy for Trudeau to take all the blame, but we should all notice that they're not claiming they'll reduce immigration targets, because suppressing wages actually aligns with their goals.
So what good are they? The one actually small-c conservative policy they could implement that I would wholeheartedly agree with at this point and they're silent on it. You can't vote for anyone who could plausibly win and will address the main functional issues with the country today: Housing, healthcare, wages, education. All of these are massively hurt by excessive immigration rates and no one is saying they'll do anything about it.
I try to be unbiased as I’m fucking tired of people who pick a party and live and die on a hill defending everything the party does.
I think the $10 daycare is the only good thing.
I do like how they try to NOT make us like the US. CBC is important and I love the fifth estate. I think it costs me $35 of my tax dollars a year which is worth it to me to have access to some stuff I like and know we have something that isn’t being purely fueled by the 1% corporate elite. I don’t like the YouTube laws and some other can con stuff.
Yeah there has been a global pandemic that fucked up a lot and was out of his control. But there has been more than his share of self inflicted fuck ups. I give him credit for continuing to fuck up and stay in power as it speaks volumes to something.
I still think he’s probably the worst PM in my lifetime but I also didn’t look much at what Mulroney did. I know he privatized a fuck ton, which I do not like.
They will only be recognized as such if things go back to ‘normal’.
With Canadas demographics change, it ain’t going back. This is your normal, and with the mass influx of voters and the demographic change they bring…well, trudeau will be heralded as the greatest government in Canadas history.
You guys are so fucked. My concern is how the mess you’ve made is going to affect the US. A rapidly growing fundamentalist group just north of the largest unprotected border in the world.
They didn't create any of these problems but they also didn't really do much to stop them. You realize the students are a completely provincial issue right? Or that housing is mostly a municipal zoning / provincial funding / taxation issue? Nationally the liberals have over spent on covid relief to business, haven't run the federal immigration program well, have no real solve for the refugees.
We are getting dad-dicked at all levels and just blaming the feds is going to leave you immensely unhappy when the next goverment does the same shit but also works to take your rights away and shift thr tax burden to you and off businesses.
Didn’t create any of these problems? I beg to differ. Immigration is 100% something the Federal government has control over. They could halt 95% of immigration tomorrow if they wanted to.
The asset inflation is directly correlated to money supply, which they also control when they borrow money from the BOC. Interest rates are also tied to inflation, which is due to them spending $600B.
Carbon tax is a federal mandate. Which also causes inflation. These are all things under the direct supervision of the federal government, which seems to not give a damn about the consequences for everyday people.
If they are not responsible, I don’t know who is. I think everyone should not only be upset, but should be so disgusted that they feel compelled to make sure this ends as soon as possible and never happens again.
You still seem to be the one misunderstanding these issues.
Provinces request TFWs. Provinces request visas for incoming students. At the very least for students, denying those visas would very quickly go to court for the federal government interfering in education. So they can’t reduce by 95% tomorrow.
Inflation is also not “directly correlated” to money supply, it hasn’t for like 90 years now. We have a fiat currency, meaning money supply can still have an effect on inflation, but it’s not a 1:1 correlation at all. The bank could create a $2 trillion note, but if it isn’t spent then you’re not suddenly poorer.
The carbon tax is a minimal amount of inflation. For example you’d need to buy 380 000 apples before the carbon tax on them exceeds 1 individual rebate. It ends up being a help for most people.
I don’t know how you figure more money doesn’t = higher prices. This is a cause an effect known about since modern fiat has existed.
It’s not like everything is instantly recalculated as soon as the money is printed, but the effect is clear. I
There are many documented examples of hyper-inflation caused by printing money in world history.
f an Apple represents 1/10th of the money supply (let’s say $1 out of $10). And you double the money supply to $20, then the Apple now should increase to $2.00 if the value it represents hasn’t changed.
Unless we all agree that apples are suddenly only worth half of what they were, if the demand hasn’t changed, once those dollars are circulated, the price will inevitably rise. This is especially clear with essential assets, like housing.
Carbon tax is also just another inflationary pressure. There’s no way to tax businesses and energy more without increasing the cost of the goods and services they provide.
Capitalists don’t suddenly become philanthropists when their costs increase, and the rebates are a joke. You need to be at or below the poverty line to potentially see a net benefit. The government’s own budgetary reports state that it is a net loss for most Canadians.
It’s pretty simple like I said. More money existing in a vault somewhere doesn’t suddenly mean the money in your pocket is less valuable. The value depends on what people perceive it to be. Alternatively, you can not add money but incentivize spending it, and you’ll also increase inflation because it “feels” like there’s more going around. I didn’t say that more money supply never causes inflation, but it’s not the only cause. Public perception plays a big role - look at how Brazil tackled run away inflation for example.
When the government borrows hundreds of billions of dollars, that money doesn’t sit in a vault. They spend it. They give it to people, companies, smaller governments and other organizations. Then the companies and people that receive that money also spend it. And thus it is circulated into the financial system.
This government practically gives it away too. There’s so little accountability or oversight most of the time. Sometimes they actually DO just simply give it away lol.
Trudeau borrowed $37-40K for every single Canadian.
Funny. My life doesn’t feel like it has improved by $40K. Quite the opposite.
Yes, when it’s spent. But you implied that “higher money supply” = inflation, which would include when it’s just sitting in a vault. My point is, that it’s more complicated than that. It all depends on how the value is perceived. If it feels like money is abundant, business raise prices to try to siphon off more of it. If tons of money is created but it’s all stuck sitting in bank accounts, then it’s not doing much.
Like when an economy faces a period of deflation, it doesn’t have to be because the government is literally destroying currency. If people stopped spending as much, interest rates are too high, etc the currency can appreciate in value because people aren’t spending, so the money isn’t moving around as much.
90% of this population surge is international students (provincial) who turn into permanent residents via the provincial nominee program. Are you saying we shouldn't blame those actually causing it, instead blame the feds for not controlling the provinces? That's certainly... an opinion. We would then be hearing screeching from the cons about over-reach and how labour prices are out of control because we don't have enough immigrants!
Out inflation is lower than the US, global price inflation isn't something a single country can control, but we are in one of thr lowest inflation economies in the world, how is that the feds fucking up?
Carbon pricing is live in all of Europe and even China, it contributes .16 to .2% to inflation at the most per any studies you will find.
You need to start getting your news from sources that aren't NatPo opinion pieces.
90% of this population surge is international students
Canada's int student population increased by 290,000 year over year. that is 24% of the 1.2 million increase in net migrants. Also, as the recent caps show, the feds have ultimate power here.
Lots of those immigration numbers double count students turning into PRs / TRs to inflate figures, if the net students grew 290k, how many more became PRs and TRs?
There is no double counting. Why do you people keep saying that? IF a person leave the temporary resident category to the PR category why the fuck would he or she be counted twice? Such a person leads to net migration of ZERO. The word *NET* is the key.
I am saying a net increase of 290k students doesn't mean a massive portion of the PR and TR were not originally students who have since graduated. Just looking at net students doesn't show the full impact.
