A country ruined
A comment from Garth Turners blog that I have been reading for years.
While everyone is counting their money, here is some words from the young Canadians struggling to come up with a reason to live and work here.
“What’s the point living here?
I am a young person born and raised in Ontario.
Maybe 5 years ago myself and all my friends had 0% chance of ever living elsewhere and now all of us are eyeing America. All of us have decent enough white collar jobs.
All of us would rather fight for the US if WW3 broke out. I would feel like a traitor fighting “for Canada”.
What is Canada anymore? Not what I was born into and raised in.
Every decision this country has made has made my life harder EVERY single year. I work hard everyday, got my first job at 14 at timmies, saved money, went to school, got educated, and now I won’t be able to afford my own home, my own piece of land…
What’s the point in staying here?
Who turned Canada into a tax farm?”
“Canada is a scam POS place to live now. Full of greed.
The world is taking advantage of our lax immigration laws, immigrants coming here are multiplying like gremlins destroying our health care and available jobs.
People glorify real estate and think it’s a good thing for it to go up faster than the rate of inflation.
The scam government controls supply and demand of real estate by turning up and down the immigration taps.
Canada no longer receives my business, no gifts, no eating out, no tipping, etc….”
“I am grooming my adult kids to leave; I’m leaving. Canada has changed from a place for educated immigrants to a place for desperate refugees/asylum seekers. We are following Frances model. Wich means taxes go way, way up and riots and chaos go up with them.
What the frak do you think is gonna happen when 4 or 5 hundred thousand brown dudes in one city are freezing and hungry and have no work?
So Canada is great…. if you’re looking for a free ride on the tax payer dollar. If you’re trying to build wealth? Go south.”

some citizen ideas for the New Year
"Have you noticed how unrecognizable Canada has begun to feel? I have. It is as though the country’s basic cultural integrity is being pulled apart, from within and from without."

Oil man Carney? Let’s not get too captured just yet
...
But before everybody gets carried away with the dream (or nightmare for climate activists and former Carney green backers) that Canada is about to revive its fossil fuel prowess, one major cloud hangs over the prospect.
...
There will be no oilsands production boom unless the two obstacles noted by Morningstar DBRS are removed. The first — oil and gas prices — are beyond anyone’s control. The second obstacle is Ottawa’s requirement that new fossil-fuel projects must find ways to eliminate or offset their carbon emissions.Former National Energy Board member Ron Wallace, in a paper published this week in C2C journal, uses the word “boondoggle” in his review of the feasibility of the Pathways carbon capture. “Decarbonizing is neither economically viable nor just,” says Wallace. “A cynic might regard requirements for decarbonized Western Canadian-produced oil to be a mere sophistry whereby the Canadian ...
