  • I dont disagree with nationalization. Its an inelastic good with a natural monopoly due to cell phone frequency limitation caps, its an obvious case for nationalization, I think it would allow cellphones to use all frequencies and their increase speed and penetration.

  • These indigenous people arent very nice are they, do they not care about the people suffering with basic housing availability?

    I dont know why we would give them any more rights, it seems they dont have an ounce of empathy for anyone but themselves.

    Eby is the only progressive in Canada that I actually respect, hes not a hypocrite and seems to genuinely care about people. If the NDP were as good as him federally I'd have voted for them.

  • Canada devalues its dollar against the US, I believe by excluding shelter inflation from the CPI by only including home replacement values and not including land value in any way. We devalue it far less than China does though.

    The US is attempting to bring it back via tariffs, which does work as per our Telecoms and Banks.

  • Workers dont choose a CEO, the shareholders do via the board of directors.

    If you were as smart as the CEO and could run a company you would probably be a CEO yourself, they arent gifting any average idiot millions of dollars for nothing.

  • When Trudeau's housing accelerator fund gave a wad of cash to Burnaby they increased developer fees by 50k. I dont know where this guy lives but people dont want to live out in the middle of no where with no job.

  • The US has had actual per capita GDP growth, while Canada only has mass immigration into a housing shortage with per capita GDP growth below inflation, so it makes sense. Wages actually grow in the US, and there isnt capital shallowing, so they can afford more services.

  • Schools have larger class sizes, a lack of supplies, they've integrated mentally challenged people into standard grades which distrupts the entire class. School lunches is only the tip of the problem.

  • I'd buy VCN.TO in your tfsa, to avoid withholding tax.

    I'd do VO and VTI for RRSP, using IKBR for conversion to USD. Again to avoid withholding taxes, and to provide diversification.

    Then your margin account do XAW.TO.

    This is easy and avoids all the pitfulls of taxation while optimizing diversity. Though you can do some XEF.TO if you want more Europe exposure in your margin, since your RRSP is heavily into US and you want to keep it relatively balanced. Doing 5-10% KILO.TO for disaster risk can also be wise, as gold tends to spike when the stock market bailout comes in.

  • The government can just raise taxes instead of printing 40% additional money supply, to avoid these price spikes where we are then trying to attribute blame.

    In the 70s they blamed unions for asking for higher wages when they debased the currency by moving to USD and then off the gold standard, its always externalized by the government to avoid blame. Here's a newspaper from the time of the union complaining about wage controls.

    I also find it funny Tiff Macklem egging people on telling people to go and borrow, which is unheard of talk from a central bank, and then we miraculously had greedflation.

  • This transition to provincial services led to a 1951 Indian Act] amendment that enabled the Province to provide services to Aboriginal people where none existed federally. Child protection was one of these areas. In 1951, twenty-nine Aboriginal children were in provincial care in British Columbia; by 1964, that number was 1,466. Aboriginal children, who had comprised only 1 percent of all children in care, came to make up just over 34 percent.[22]

    Wow wild, seems they did it under the guise of protective services, as if those people lived in substandard conditions. It also looks like the residential schools had the same premise, where there were no schools in remote areas and every child HAD to go to a white mans school and learn English literacy. Pretty crazy to dress it up as child welfare.
