It clearly exists to pressure BC for a pipeline. Which last I heard there was a blowhard south of us that wants to extort their monopoly they have on our exports.
Energy exports are one of the most efficient industries in Canada, and per worker productivity is very high. We can’t easily replace it.
Nobody can have a press conference ever is the expectation. It will just be people shouting incoherently and the politician has to stop and placate each one.
The decline is the fact we are being displaced due to the cost of living. Most people I think would agree it would be nice if we were a country mostly made up of native born citizens, in a country where citizens could lead normal lives and affrod to have children.
But you’re here calling the NDP racists against indigenous, so I don’t know why I’m arguing. The witch hunters are so prominent now its impossible to discuss most political topics.
There’s a reason there’s still no foreign agent registry, if the Liberals benefit from interference then they love China.
I edited a lot as you replied so quick, but I would say demographic collapse due to an erosion in living standards. Nobody can afford kids, as Eby is trying to fix.
Whining? It was a bunch of charts.
Regardless of ad hominem, what have you done?
Eby knows he’s being voted out the next election if he doesn’t roll this back in some way, because average people who spend a million dollars on their home don’t like losing the rights to it. They likely worked decades to acquire it, while people like you want to tell them how entitled they are for expecting to own it.
Eby is also the best MP in Canada, and rezoned housing to actually help the poor, who now can’t afford a home due to nearly a century of regressive zoning laws coupled with mass immigration into an existing shortage.
What have you done for reconciliation, did you give up the rights to your home?
I have a friend who is indigenous who is renting if you haven’t yet.
It could have something to do with this, which controls how fast the money supply increases, and how much your paychecks purchasing power needs to be debased via monetary inflation. If things get shittier and living standards fall it doesnt really take that into account and is considered out of scope.

Is the CPI a cost of living index?
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is not equivalent to a cost-of-living index (COLI). The CPI has often been used to approximate cost-of-living but it is important to note that the CPI and COLI are not directly comparable.
The CPI is based on a fixed basket of goods and services, which represents the average Canadian household’s spending habits. The CPI measures the average change in retail prices encountered by all consumers in Canada. By contrast, the objective of a COLI is to measure price changes experienced by consumers in maintaining a constant standard of living. A COLI can be linked to the notion of the minimum amount of money that would be necessary in different periods of time to ensure a given level of “well-being”.
In short, the CPI measures the change in the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services, whereas a COLI measures the change in the cost of a fixed level of “well-being”.
Theyre definitely influenced by the US, because now they require pipelines west to export globally. I assume that this is their grand plan, to tell BC if they want to export their own goods east and not be isolated themselves they need to do a quid pro quo.
I’ve even heard the theory from places like Doomberg that this was all a plan by the US, to unstick Albertan oil to displace Russian oil globally. Because they’d already planned on cutting off all of Chinas access to energy.
The rich hoarding wealth does directly increase money supply because they generally reinvest, which is excluded from the CPI, which decreases interest rates leading to further money supply growth. Their wealth isnt really real when viewed through the lens of monetary policy, its inflated based on past consumption and things like hedonic adjustments or substitutions.
Money velocity increases more when the poor get the money, via things like Covid stimulus, which lead to the large inflation print. While the rich just put it into assets, driving up the stock market and real estate, which made them nominally wealthier.
I think this is why QE hurts the poor and benefits the rich, their salaries are being debased to push up asset values, until someone with a propensity to consume receives that nominal windfall; whether its a home sale or an equity sale. I dont see how the rich is at fault for any of this however, and I think if they did give their money away then nominal asset values would fall and inflation would rise.
What I’d perhaps like to see is instead of dropping interest rates taxes were tied to inflation, where they rise if deflation occurs. That I could perhaps see working, though its a working theory for me at the moment.
Why are illegal immigrants a good thing, wouldnt we want to restore the wage pressure we had prior to opening the flood gates of immigration ourselves, where every business article was talking about “quiet quitting” and rising salaries?
I’d say our healthcare and housing system wasnt overburdened as well, yet I’m supposed to love unregulated immigration just because Trump does not?

The phrase is resonating, too. While the words “quiet quitting” are loaded, evoking images of a slacker or ne’er-do-well for some, others say that the approach frees up time to spend with family and friends, or to take care of oneself. In short, it’s a renewed commitment to life beyond the workplace. But behind the trend is a starker reality.
Employees want to be fairly compensated for additional time and work, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates occupational burnout and mental health issues. The ball is squarely in the court of employers, managers and executives, experts say.
Well Loblaws is a REIT as well, and I believe their margins are far higher on that, which raises top line margins.
The REIT does well due to our government zoning policy, which has caused massive urban sprawl and extremely high commercial real estate prices. Likely also causing a lack of competition and higher prices for goods, like everything in Canada it became an oligopoly.
Isnt it usually the case historically that when oil prices spiked our dollar value spiked, any idea why that ceased happening?
I’d assumed because we have a muted business investment into Canada, which ties in with the other charts.
Why include the percent foreign born then if that wasnt the point.
Gitlab has Draw.IO integration, as does Wiki.JS.
I didnt make the website. What is cherry picked?
Many people do believe in per country caps, to prevent things like the extortion in Surrey via organized crime, or a loss of existing culture. I dont know if culture is based on race as much as it is their country, Indians born in Canada are going to be different than those born in other country I assume.
I assumed it was talking about the lack of births of Canadians, due to all the other charts, housing shortages, and wage debasement. What makes you assume its racism?
Canada needs to start importing uyghurs to build our cars. I’d heard they accept very very low pay but definitely arent slaves.
Even if its foisted upon your neighbors by a great wealth divide between asset holders and non-asset holders?
It feels like your so hung up on the witch hunt your missing the main point.
