Carney (and by extension Hodgson) keep saying "nostalgia is not a strategy," and yet their strategy seems to hinge on the nostalgia of the pre-2014 oil market.

One thing I would like to see changed concerning rent , whatever an apartment is going for that would be the price a new tenant would get it for. Too many times it's an excuse to jack up the rent for so-called fixes that are really lipstick on a pig.My brother inlaw got screwed on a fixed term

I might be able to talk in depth about economic theories but when I hear standing in a line to pay for food, an older lady worried about affording food through the winter with the extra heat cost economic theories mean jack shit. It's clear something is wrong and needs to be fixed now.

Super cool that we've got a deal for a path towards a pipeline that's tied to a carbon capture project, as if that makes it okay
when carbon capture one of the most expensive and least effective options for addressing climate change, and oil companies often use it to EXTRACT MORE OIL!!!!

The climate crisis is advancing from all I've read at a rate that is frankly scary. But in Canada we are talking pipelines, increased oil production, bullshit climate capture , a fairytale pushed by the oil industry.More and more disenchanted with the Carney liberals . Should have known better.

Exactly! Either introduce now or watch the blood that will run. Revolution is never pretty and many who are innocent lose.
Mass job loss makes nations unstable long before it makes them broke.
People without income turn restless.
People without direction turn dangerous.
If UBI doesn’t enter the conversation now, the conversation later will be about riots, repression, and regret.
History has already written this pattern.

This is also why universal basic income is such a good idea. Not only would it save money on the high costs of poverty, but it would grow GDP and reduce the costs of healthcare by reducing stress and improving physical and mental health.
To recap:
•Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually
•Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses
•The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45%

Everyday lately I truly am losing what little hope I had in humans , wasn't much to begin with. Even in my own personal circle, I've lost respect lately for quite a few with their attitudes, their callousness and views on many things.Its depressing.

In 11 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene will turn 62 and start living with a basic income floor for the rest of her life of about $1,230 a month, thanks to having served 5 years in Congress.
5 years ago, her net worth was around $700k. It's now around $22 million.
Just some facts to know.

The fact the liberals are looking at cosying up to the Saudis tells me much about the moral center of this government. Ethics , morals mean nothing in the grand scheme of things , it's always will be about money , even if it's drenched in blood .

Most in the medical community have been way too polite with the malevolence of the actions of Kennedy Jr. In the United States. His actions and his directions are literally going to kill people, that is murder. In my opinion, he is nothing more than a serial killer in a suit .
