Dougie93 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 ultimately, economic growth is population growth what was the Post War Boom ? that was the Baby Boom if you're not going to have babies ? you will need exponentially more immigrants why will Canadians accept it ? because the alternative will be wallowing in a depression forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeitgeist Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 6 minutes ago, Dougie93 said: most of the immigrants who made America into a superpower went to New York City you would have to accept some tumult, just as America did in the Long Depression that's what it was, the Long Depression was driving all those immigrants to New York people move out of Toronto gradually the Italians move out and are replaced by Jamaicans, then the Jamaicans move, replaced by Somalis, etc it's not a orderly process, but Canada is desperate for people without a massive influx of immigrants, there will be a demographic collapse America & Mexico will eat Canada's lunch, if Canada can't get out of the demographic collapse vector True. Just sad that in Vancouver and Toronto most of the people who grew up there can’t afford homes in their own cities unless they inherit them. Basically these are international city states. Good and bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 bottom line tho, demographics is going to become THE issue China for example is going to collapse China is going to go from 1.2 billion to just 750 million in the next fifty years the Chinese economy is going to contract in lockstep with population contraction Canada is in the same boat, but Canada has a hope of saving itself same way America did, by bringing in massive numbers of immigrants through these "city states" as you call them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) I would also point out, that when my father moved us to Toronto in 1978 he could not afford to buy a $70,000 house then Toronto has always been expensive you should only live in Toronto if you are making big money otherwise, it's not worth the premium it was Glenn Gould's Toronto but Glenn was a millionaire in the 70's, when that was a lot of money Edited June 22, 2022 by Dougie93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) as with all things inflation related, it's not about how much things cost it's about how much things cost in relation to your income and this is what is guaranteed to bring the Liberals down they are doubling down on inflation that will quickly outstrip what people are paid then the Liberals will be wiped out I don't think they care really they know they are going to get wiped out in the end the kind of scum who would serve the Liberal party, are just there to feather their own nests they are just plundering what they can, before the shit hits the fan but it's not going to be that long, they are not going to make it to 2025 at this rate of inflation, there will be civil unrest long before we get there even the moronic NDP is going to realize that the Liberals are dead weight dragging them down the harbinger has arrived, Doug Ford crushed the Liberals & NDP with ease as Ontario goes, so goes the nation the leftist lunacy is wearing very thin very fast, as inflation starts to bite first the Democrats are going down in flames in November that will spread to Canada soon after Edited June 22, 2022 by Dougie93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 No, Canada must not exit any climate agreement. In fact it should try to serve as a role model by reducing its use of fossil fuels and preventing any new pipelines from being built while phasing out existing ones and quickly as possible. With some of the rest I may agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the system of governance of public matters, on all levels to a varying extent that is: outdated or archaic; ineffective; inefficient; disconnected from the reality; averse to adaptation, improvement and change; unable to deliver practical results and come up with innovative solutions for new and existing problems. The solution proposed here is instead of looking for ways of solving problems that are adequate and work in this century pretend that they, the problems do not exist. The well known ostrich solution, like it ever solved any problems. The problem of Canada is ... unfulfilled promises. Every PM since this shit stared has made spectacular promises and every on has spectacularly failed. We are looked upon by the world as failures (in more than one avenue). 1 Quote Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.

"Commies" all over again and the narratives on both sides are what could be described as "pre-genocidal" in terms of making a prediction, prediction would be asserting a defined end state I don't go that far, there's too many variables as I say, I simply extrapolate the trajectory of where things are going Edited June 23, 2022 by Dougie93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not in my experience, our park in Fredericton is used by a lot of different groups either protesting or just informing people of their cause, The park is also used by a lot of elderly people to go walking, etc, I've seen some of these groups harass people just out for a walk, most of these conversations end up in yelling matches or get physical with police being called.. So it is not just on the forums... Not many want to discuss anything, just lecture, and scream and shout. and it is not just the left the right has its wing nuts as well Step out of the family zone, and talk to someone in the streets or bar, and talk politics see where that goes..
