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.

The US has never had free trade, look at the patent system they force other countries to abide by, whose length and terms are dictated by the US.

This is just a continuation of the same. Apple even had a patent on rounded corners on rectangles.

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

Except its the exact same cabinet. But sure, I'll give him 4 years and see what changes, not like we have a choice. Cutting capital gains and making Guilbeault environmental minister is a funny first step but let's see.

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

So what, it shouldn't be funded as a perpetual non-infrastructure program?

The same could be same as healthcare, yet if we didn't fund it we'd be paying perpetual interest on it.

The further you get from the gold standard the worse life you'll have. Though you might have more social media and gadgets you'll have a smaller house and worse quality food/services, as everything is financialized through debt in a futile attempt to force the elderly who own all the assets to consume every greater amounts, as automation progressively decreases the costs and companies find more advanced ways to shrinkflate products.

You used be able to run Linux apps too, but they pulled it all back because they are only good at creating bloatware.

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