The elites, those with juicy PS jobs paying well into 5 digits (those one has to win a lottery like in 6/49 just to get an application in) and defined benefit pension plans: sure in this day and age, want one of those? need a constant increase in the head inflow just to keep the cash coming for their benefits as the economy is stagnating. That would make sense, understandable. Any other logical options? Edited January 5, 2024 by myata Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

Gaétan Posted January 5, 2024 Report Posted January 5, 2024 Anything that enriches the richest like inflation is good for our corrupt rulers like dangerous vaccines, unnecessary health measures, printing money. Abolishing money would be a good thing, it's like abolishing slavery and regaining our freedom. Quote

You are asking us to compare one pile of s*t with another to come to a conclusion you like. If you don’t compare actual facts and figures, then you’re just making judgements based on feelings. What good is it to say “Canada’s inflation rate is driving me out of the country” without comparing that rate with other countries? 1 Quote

What is the ideology in question ? Growth Capitalism or Humanism ? I would say it's the former, especially if you're the type of person who puts immigrants and refugees in the same box. A brain surgeon from Pakistan is similar to a refugee from Pakistan only in that they're from the same place, which doesn't say much.

impartialobserver Posted January 5, 2024 Report Posted January 5, 2024 35,000 in net emigration over 5 years.. is not all that major. This is what happens when a place has a high cost of living... some folks get discouraged at the disparity between incomes and what they get in housing. SF, LA, and Portland are prime examples. And then they move to Boise, Bend, Reno, Spokane, Salt Lake City, Bozeman, or Ogden, UT... and guess what? Prices go up in those places Quote
WestCanMan Posted January 6, 2024 Report Posted January 6, 2024 In 1800 this country was just coming out of the stone age and not many people from south of the 49th parallel were interested in coming here. After about 1950, when electricity and central heating were standard in every home, Canada became a somewhat desirable place to live for southerners. FFWD to 2024 and there are a lot of areas that have been developed in Mexico and further south where Canadians feel safe enough to retire to, and where living is far more affordable. You know what else is a thing? The weekly rate for staying at all-inclusives, if you don't have to fly in and out, is quite affordable for people who have pensions and homes that are mtg-free which they can rent out. If you own a home, have no mtg, and are retired with a modest pension you can consider staying in all-inclusive resorts for part, most, or even all of the year. Screw the cooking, cleaning, 8-hr days and sub-zero weather (or constant rain if you're in southern BC), rent out your house and live like a king. Even if you can't afford it for very long yu can probably eat until your heart explodes. Anything is better than this shit.

WestCanMan Posted January 6, 2024 Report Posted January 6, 2024 I had a couple of friends who came here from Jamaica thinking that they'd get ahead somehow. They'd grind it out for 40+ hrs a week for a meh Canadian life, and when they went home on vacation some of their friends were making bank operating tour boats lol. Just imagine, 40 hrs a week in a mine, mill, doing construction or something like that here just to end up driving a Corolla while your friends are cruising in a boat for their day job and then driving a Mercedes 🤣. Canada's reputation vs reality is out of phase like A/C current. People move here thinking that it's still better than where they're at, but that's no longer the case. Motivated people can have a better life in their 'undeveloped countries' than they will have if they move here. 1 Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Even if they do not come under the skilled class, Canada will still continue bringing the hundreds of thousands of new residents under the refugee class or as students.

Justin trudeau, and to a lesser degree the libs in general. Some lib govts were not that bad, most conservative gov'ts werent. What we're seeing now is absolutely insane levels - this has never happened before for any extended time and trudeau is ramping it up. HE has been sold that this has to happen by the 'millenium' project - which insists we have to hit over 100 mllion canadians by 2100. They have their own psychotic reasons for it partly to do with being a more powerful force around the world as a market but mostly to do with making sure that people who live here dont' have that same sense of history and belonging to tradition so they can move forward to rewrite how the culture works to favour more left of center thinking.

" 'Deepening unemployment crisis' among Iraqi youth prompts $9.9M federal investment | CBC News That is incredible. We have a health care crisis, a housing crisis, and many other needs in Canada; yet the government saw fit to spend 4.7 billion dollars in the Middle East. They have absolutely no concept of money. That is hard-earned Canadian taxpayer's money. They spend it on other countries like water. Fix Canadian problems. This is shocking. I said in another post that Canada is a post-national state. Liberals could care less about Canadians and Canada. It is all about globalism and trying to build a name for Trudeau and liberals on the world stage. Maybe retire with a job in the U.N.
