In the most bureaucratic industry in Canada with the highest taxes?

If this is your idea of capitalism I’d say your a bit silly, people can’t just build a 12 story apartment to service the demand.

Canadian oil with its higher margins and only 10% tariff would easily survive these tariffs, as the currency FX falls they’d be made even cheaper and gain even more investment, while the areas that manufacture cars and who voted Liberal would be hurt the most. You’d think it would be the other way around.

Though I guess the attempt at nationalizing oil revenue in the 80s and the inability to build pipelines in Canada, so that they didn’t have to sell energy at a deep discount, has long sullied Canada for many Albertans. This may have been a subconscious thought for a long time.

If you want systemic change to the economic system there’s definitely an order of operations here to follow, wouldn’t you agree?

If I want to redesign a roller coaster my first step shouldn’t be to start removing the tracks while passengers are on it.

I agree. High demand from immigration; lack of supply due to greenbelt, slow permitting, property taxes being passed on as development taxes, and urban sprawl zoning.

Why nationalize only oil, why not manufacturing, mining, lumber, hydro, etc…?

I have a birth bath I don’t ever replace the water in. Its like a shrub to me.

Alberta has no alternatives to export so loses a lot by shipping to the US. Alberta has a huge amount to gain by having alternative shipping routes. I think they’d be happy with things and the media would change their opinion pretty quickly.

Its concluding that if Alberta leaves Quebec will be screwed, so its in Quebecs interest to allow a pipeline to prevent secession. The tariffs on manufacturing emboldens this with an even larger crisis. The long term plan would be to end the reliance on Russian energy, assuming its true, but it seems to be unfolding as predicted so far which is neat.

What if I’m against immigration due to a housing bubble that is destroying the poor and dramatically increasing price to income ratios, am I a racist or a saint?

I think anyone with a brain can see that in many countries mass immigration is being used to depress wages and invert the phillips curve after QE, or to prop up GDP to avoid a technical recession in favor of a per-capita recession, which is for some reason not defined or acknowledged. It also clearly hurts the poor and benefits the rich via asset price inflation and higher rental income.

Use Bitwarden with a randomly generated password, its free. Also use two factor authentication obviously, and a separate email that is only for your finances.

The theory is they’re drumming up a crisis in order to get Quebec to agree to pipelines. Its not about actually separating.

Fixing that fork in the road created with 1961 National Oil Policy, that then brought up huge amounts of pain in the 70s and 80s, which basically flipped the table leading to nationalization attempts and the inevitable failure of the national energy policy.

The Alberta babies are the one who are changing their referendum laws, I’m unsure what point you think you’re making, is it just an attempt at an ad hominem?

Thats just the microplastics talking, go back to sleep.

Its not nonsense, Alberta gets 0$ in equalization payments most years. They also have a small population with extremely high corporate profits with high margins, so those corporations pay more taxes, regardless if it trickles down to workers or not. Also during a recession oil generally does okay, while other provinces are wiped out.

The immigration plan was decided long before Carney.

As far as prefab or anything else, housing prices are a majority land value, taxes, and bureaucracy, it can’t make a dent since its not the main issue. Houses don’t cost more to build in Canada that in places with cheap housing, its not like laborers are making 300k a year, they can’t afford housing either.

Hydro definitely killed a lot more people than nuclear. Funny how there’s no stigma against it.

That’s after taking into account what they get back. That’s just net gain/loss.

I do Ghostfolio for my stocks. Though I paid for it to support development, its quite cheap.
