Extremes on both sides of political spectrum are idiots. Financially conservative and socially liberal. Pro development and extreme economic growth.

It’s disgusting that the Liberal Party of Canada can be in government for 11 years, pass 7 anti free speech online bills, appoint 740 of 1,000 judges, 7 of 9 Supreme Court justices, and nearly the whole Senate, yet boomers will never blame them for the terrible shape Canada is in. No, it’s Trump’s fault that per capita GDP hasn’t moved, housing is unaffordable, the debt has doubled, youth unemployment is in the mid-teen percents, and incomes are being taxed more since tax brackets aren't inflation adjusted. Even then, incomes aren't increasing as fast as Canadianflation. Boomers have ruined my country.

Canada spends $86B a year on Old Age Security and still leaves 400K seniors in poverty, because we send cheques to retired couples earning $182K OAS is also blowing the federal budget... growing from $44B /year to $86B / year in a decade... that increase alone matches the federal deficit some smart ideas on how to tackle this ⬇️
Old Age Security is set to nearly double over the next 20 years. It'll strain us before we see it coming. We can fix it. We can keep OAS fair and sustainable – while still leaving room for young families to get ahead. 📰👇 @jeffcanadamson lays it out in our latest memo.

I don’t care that Mark Carney is a jerk to work with and for. Growing up with an adjacency to both politics and Bay Street, everyone would tell you as much (particularly card-carrying Liberals). I care that for all of his deal-making prowess, and some of his ability to course-correct on bad policy, we’re ignoring structural, load-bearing deficiencies, like a full immigration fix, an impossibly punitive entrepreneurial environment, giving housing to Gregor freaking Robertson, the near-total collapse in law and order and healthcare efficiency, still poking Alberta in the eye and wondering why they’re so angry. Be a prick. But be one that materially gets the job done, beyond just the margins.

Dude considers every conservative state in the US such a shit hole that he would rather leave then country and go to Argentina. Hilarious!
Peter Thiel has moved his family to Argentina, largely due to the direction of California… He sees socialism rising in America, while Milei is taking Argentina in the opposite direction.

If Canada plays it right we might actually get a chance to bring in world class talent here instead of more Uber drivers, coffee pourers and fake students. Please let’s not boomers away this opportunity!
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

TD report on CANADA's BRAIN DRAIN is really interesting. Canada is quietly losing its top talent to the United States in what economists call a silent brain drain. While Canada does a strong job educating highly skilled workers in STEM, engineering, and entrepreneurship, it struggles to keep them due to higher taxes that kick in at much lower income levels, limited opportunities to scale companies, weaker commercialization of ideas, and much better pay and growth potential south of the border. -> Talent leaves mainly through temporary US work visas rather than permanent moves -> Outflows are heavily concentrated among the highest skilled, especially in tech and advanced degrees -> Onward migration is worst among immigrants and top university graduates -> Canada has a missing middle of medium sized firms, relying instead on many tiny businesses and a few large ones -> Personal tax rates often exceed 50 percent in major provinces and apply at much lower thresholds than in the US -> Complex corporate tax rules push entrepreneurs toward tax planning instead of growth All of this weakens productivity, innovation, and domestic returns on education, making Canada a feeder system for the US economy REPORT: economics.td.com/ca-silent-b…

Double digit mortgage rates. Here we come. If you are trying to sell your RE right now: swallow your pride, cut the price by 10-15% and try to sell right away. Cause next year it will be significantly lower.

Canadian CPP grift continues. The whole country is run by white collar criminals who figured out how to scam their way to taxpayer money. Housing, CPP, anything else?

And Canada took a year to finalize an MOU to maybe start construction in 2 years so we can potentially have a pipe in 7-8 years… Canada is broken. We forgot how to get anything build or done.

Boomers are doing their level best today to prove to Millennials and Gen-Z how woefully out of touch they are. The latest is about how kids these days are eating $30 lunches every day. Now I don’t know if it’s true that kids are spending $30/day for lunch (I’m doubtful), but I will note that $30 is basically lunch for 2 at a fast food joint. It’s not a steak at Outback. The problem isn’t that kids are spending too much on lunch, it’s that lunch costs too much. Everything costs too much. Eating PB&J everyday doesn’t help with the cost of gas, healthcare, or paying back student loans. There is no empathy.

Living in Victoria, I'm often reminded that elderly leftists have very gingerly built little preserves for themselves where they never have to experience the consequences of what they're doing to the country. It's only 2026 for you. They still get to live in 1999.

Get ready Canada. US is about to go scorched earth during upcoming trade deal renegotiations. Combine it with the second wave of inflation and economic pain is about to become unbearable. Insolvencies are about to sky rocket.
“A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all,” Colby wrote. “Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments.” In a subsequent post, Colby attached a map of North America and wrote that “delivering on shared continental defense begins by recognizing our shared geography.” A third post revealed that Colby had recently hosted US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra at the Pentagon, and that the two are “working closely” to ensure Canada reaches the Hague Summit’s 3.5% of gross domestic product defense spending target. The implications for Canada are potentially generational."

Young people today don't hate rich people they are mad that... - they were talked into too much student debt - they can't buy homes - their wages are up 2x while houses up 9-10x - inflation is eating them up and they own no assets No wonder they don't like capitalism. They haven't been able to truly participate in it yet.

And this is exactly why young and working people need their own political party, because all the major ones are captured by boomers.
Average boomer.
