Quote from: Herman on July 04, 2025, 04:19:32 PMThere is nobody in the current Liberal caucus that has any desire to right the ship. They are staying the course even though that means going off a cliff.

Today's globalist Liberals have nothing in common with the pragmatic Liberal Party of Chretien and Martin. Canada was in good hands under their watch. Today's Liberals have abandoned pragmatism for ideological rigidity.

The US will likely fall off the fiscal cliff before Canada does, hey Herman Herm?

That Big Beautiful Bill will bankrupt the USA, hey Herm?

Quote from: DKG on July 04, 2025, 09:54:33 AMFirst world status is not our birth right. It requires work to maintain it. And Canada has done everything in the past decade to shed itself of it's wealthy status. Mark Carney is doubling down on policies that put the Canadian dream at risk.

We cannot endure another decade like the last one or will lose our first world status like Argentina did long ago. There is still a lot of wealth in this country, but we will have to reverse course soon whilw we still can.

No it won't Brent Brent.

Quote from: Mark Carney on July 04, 2025, 11:18:27 AMThat will not happen on my watch.

You're a good Prime Minister, Mark Carney.

I'm glad I voted for you.

Quote from: JOE on July 04, 2025, 12:23:11 AMHere's a state that also voted for Trump,  hey Herman Herm?

Nevada went Red for Trump in 2024 & they have people living in tunnels underneath the streets of Las Vegas, hey Herm?

They were there under all other administrations, dipshit. WTF, over? I'm going to the Bellagio in a month. Last time we were there, we had dinner (4 of us) and it cost $1000!!!

Resource extraction and processing and manufacturing are what provided a solid middle class base in Canada. Those sectors have shrank by half on the Liberals' watch.

Real estate has more than doubled it's share of the economy. It is not sustainable.

Quote from: formosan on July 04, 2025, 10:40:34 AMI hope we can return to the pragmatism that used to characterize Canada.

That will not happen on my watch.

Quote from: . on July 04, 2025, 07:31:46 AMI have no stake in Canada's future either, it doesn't mean I am inclined to be a self centered narcissistic animal like JoHoMo.

It will get worse, there's no way out of it but through it now. Of getting the fuck out of the way as Shen and I have done. Rampant liberalism is a disease and I feel for you poor bastards who have chosen to endure its rotting afterbirth.

Leaving Canada is not an option for us.....I hope we can return to the pragmatism that used to characterize Canada.

NEW FEDERAL REPORT LINKS IMMIGRATION TO RISING HOUSING COSTS
Statistics Canada and IRCC confirm a direct correlation between recent immigration and housing price increases especially in Canada's largest cities.

So it turns out the government of Canada just released a report — and it's not from some conspiracy blog or partisan think tank. No, this is from the Trudeau government's own bureaucrats at Statistics Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. What does it say? Well, it quietly admits that something many of us have known for years and were called racists, bigots, and extremists for saying out loud is actually true: mass immigration has directly caused housing prices to skyrocket in Canada.

They crunched the numbers, ran the models, and here's what they found: from 2006 to 2021, a sharp increase in new immigrants people arriving within the last five years — was tied to an 11% increase in both house prices and rents across municipalities. Eleven percent. And in big cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal? That number jumps to 21%. Rents up 13%. Those aren't theories. That's what happened.

And here's the really shocking part: more than 80% of those new immigrants ended up in just 53 municipalities. So if you're living in a city, if you're a working-class Canadian trying to buy your first home, raise your family, or maybe just rent an apartment that doesn't bankrupt you, you're paying the price literally for Ottawa's immigration agenda.

But wait, this is where it gets worse. This wasn't a mistake. It wasn't an accident. It wasn't just a side effect of some well-meaning policy gone wrong. This is the design. Trudeau and his successor, Mark Carney — yes, the former Goldman Sachs banker turned Liberal savior — engineered this. You import millions of people, you restrict supply, you choke development with red tape, and then you act surprised when prices go through the roof?

You know who benefits from this? Not the young couple trying to buy their first condo in Mississauga. Not the plumber in Surrey trying to get out of his parents' basement. No, the winners are real estate investors, developers, corporate landlords — and the Liberal Party, which gets a permanent bloc of voters hooked on big government. Everyone else? They get crushed.

The housing situation is much more broken in the US, even Red states like Florida, hey @Herm Herm?


So if you think it's bad in Canada it's much worse in the US, hey Herm?
