They need that money to continue buying mortgage bonds to artificially raise home values for the boomers that vote for them.

Gregor Robinson said himself prices can't be allowed to fall, so the poor need to continue bailing out the rich like Gregor himself and corporation like Brookfield. The Liberals are also creating laws like C15 that let them hand pick corporation that can bypass the existing bureaucracy they helped put in place.

The next decade will look exactly like the last, and we have the exact same ministers so why would anyone expect things to change?

It is genuinely disgusting how all of this is happening and how there is little alternative (Except maybe the NDP under new leadership, but it'll take a miracle for them to be able to get someone as PM). I voted for Carney because I was terrified of PP. I didn't know much about Carney other than he was in business and banking before. I either should have just voted NDP symbolically or not voted at all.

Pierre would have been better than this I'd say, Pierre wanted to diversify trade from the US by building horizontal pipelines for years. He also decried immigrations long before it became a crisis. Now the people that made us monogamous and worse off per capita are trying to fix the things they did.

If 1/3 of your tax revenue and all those equalization payments disappear with tariffs and venezelua displacing us you get a much smaller government. So if we want universal healthcare and government support we need to diversify.
