What The Liberals Did To Canada

your auto or home insurance that is regulated by the Alberta province government?

I'm not going to explain to you that if Toronto experiences an explosion in car theft and insurance fraud (which is what's happening) then a company like Canada Life or The Cooperator's - everyone's insurance goes up.

It might have something to do with all the criminals and fraudsters we've brought in through the FEDERAL immigration program.

I'm not sure where you got that $15 figure from.  Your a$$, I suspect.

The stupidity of people like LinktheDink is really starting to irritate those of us with common sense.  And empathy.

It's so easy to strike down each increase individually, in what families are facing.  

"It's just an insurance hike."

"It's just a gas hike."

It's just a little food inflation."

"It's just another $100 billion in deficit."

All with no increase in wages.

And it adds up.

You prove with each post how inept and stunned you are...  You simply ignore facts if they don't suit your narrative.

In Canada, home and auto insurance are regulated primarily at the provincial and territorial level, not federally.

Provincial regulation (the main authority)

Each province has its own regulator that oversees:

• Licensing of insurers and brokers
• Consumer protection rules
• Approval of auto insurance rates (in many provinces)
• Policy standards and coverage requirements

For example:

• In British Columbia: BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) regulates insurers, while basic auto insurance is provided by Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC).
• In Ontario: Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) handles oversight.
• In Alberta: Alberta Superintendent of Insurance is responsible.

Federal role (limited but important)

The federal government regulates insurance companies from a financial stability perspective, not consumer-level policy rules. The key body is:

• Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI)

OSFI ensures insurers are:

• Financially sound
• Adequately capitalized
• Managed prudently

Bottom line

• Home insurance: Fully provincial regulation
• Auto insurance: Provincial (with some provinces running public systems like BC, Manitoba, Saskatchewan)
• Federal government: Oversees insurer solvency, not day-to-day consumer rules

 

I got $15 from simple math.... $188 / 12 = $15.67 so my bad on not rounding up.  An extra $16 p/m...  I can see why people may sell their homes with that kind of cost increase.

 

Again not sure what your nonsensical comment of boomers has to do with this, but there is a complex mix of reasons of why North American women have been having less children the past 20 years.  Economic pressures, cultural shifts, and personal choices are all part and parcel.

I live in the same country and pay the same as you idi0ts do at the pump, grocery stores, and anywhere else.  I know what the cost of living is but the difference is that I don't cry and complain about it every day like you do.  It is what it is...

Go talk to your employer about your lack of wage increases, or find another job if you can't make ends meet.  Either that, or change your ends...

I'm guessing your approach to life is that the government should help pay your way...  

Lol... liberal boomers are different than conservative or NDP boomers right.  I told you.... I understand the cost of living and can appreciate it's not easy, like it wasn't easy for us trying to raise a family.  I have young 30's children who are raising families and paying the cost of living like everyone, yet don't bîtch even remotely close to what you do. They'd even tell you to STFU... 😂

And yes...  if your job doesn't pay you enough to support your financial commitments, find a job that does, find another source of income, or reevaluate your financial commitments to see what you can do without.  That's life....always has been and always will be.

You truly are stunned....  What exactly is that supposed to mean?  Canada's space agency and NASA have been close partner for over 50 years.  Hitched ride... 😂

You still haven't answered the question I've asked you a number of times...  What trade benefits has the US given our manufacturing sectors since last year, and why do you think auto, steel/aluminum and forestry sectors have been losing jobs?  Any idea....?

Carney is right...  for decades we've been too reliant on the US as a supplier and customer.  Tariffs threats and manufacturing shifts that have seen people losing jobs attest to that.

Okay dumbfûck....  you can't cite that I'm wrong, because I'm not so am done playing with you on this topic.  Facts are that your hero prioritized Chinese investment and it slammed the metro Vancouver home prices to the point that they became unaffordable for the masses.  

Carry on fool...

I have cited you are wrong many times. What you're doing now is asking me to repeat the sites over and over again because it's all you've got left. I pointed out that a number of my points came from your cites  

At this point you just look like a complete child. Whining and crying like a baby. This is the fifth time you've been "so done with me"

That's been shown a number of times now including by your own data life was  expensive but Affordable  under harper

Under the liberals and Justin/Carney it is utterly  unaffordable. 

Except for carney and his half million dollars worth of airline food. He seems to be 'struggling' through

Carney tried the fear-mongering "dangerous and divided" Brexit in the UK and they booted him the fck outta there.

Via Melanie in Saskatchewan:

Dear Mark Carney,

Now who's sharing misinformation and clickbait?!?

I see we’ve moved from careful economic messaging to full-blown headline cosplay, and I have to admit, it’s quite the production. That Bloomberg graphic making the rounds, the one declaring Canada’s fiscal position the “strongest in the G7,” looks polished enough to pass for fact at a glance. Clean typography, confident tone, and just enough authority baked into it to ensure it gets shared by people who don’t have time to dig any deeper.

Fair enough. Most people are busy.

They see “IMF says,” they assume it’s settled, and they move on.

Some of us don’t have that luxury. Some of us sit at the kitchen table at night, scrolling through this stuff while trying to figure out how the numbers in our banking app don’t line up with the story being told on TV. Groceries are up, fuel is up, housing is out of reach, and then we’re told we’re “strongest in the G7.” It doesn’t land the way you think it does. It lands like something isn’t adding up.

So we go looking. And here’s what turns up.

That line you and your cabinet are leaning on does not exist in the IMF report in the way it’s being presented. Not as a conclusion. Not as a formal finding. What it actually comes from is a single IMF official saying Canada is “probably in the strongest position fiscally” among the G7.

PROBABLY...

That word is doing more work than the data you’re quoting trying to pass off as concrete fact. Because “probably” is a hedge. It’s uncertainty. It’s someone speaking carefully in an interview, not issuing a definitive statement. Somewhere between that comment and your talking points, that qualifier vanished, and suddenly Canadians are being told this is a confirmed fact. It isn’t.

For anyone who wants to see it for themselves, here’s the actual IMF report you’re referencing:

https://imf.org/en/publications/cr/issues/2026/01/21/canada-2025-article-iv-consultation-press-release-and-staff-report-573340

Now read it. Not the headline version. Not the clipped quote. The actual report.

Because the same section you’re pulling from also says, in plain language, that elevated trade uncertainty is weighing on exports, investment, and confidence, and that Canada has long-standing weaknesses in productivity and competitiveness.

It goes on to say growth is expected to remain moderate, with risks tilted to the downside. That’s the full picture. That’s the part that never makes it into the talking points.

What you’ve done is take the one line that sounds good, pull it out of the paragraph, and present it like the paragraph doesn’t exist.

That’s not context. That’s editing.

And it matters, because “strongest fiscal position” doesn’t mean what you’re letting people think it means. It doesn’t mean people are better off. It doesn’t mean wages are rising or that life is getting easier. It means, relatively speaking, Canada has more room to borrow compared to other countries that are also struggling. That’s it. That’s the entire claim, once you strip away the packaging.

But that’s not how it’s being sold. It’s being sold like a report card after the fact. Like the IMF came in, audited Canada, and declared everything is going great. That’s not what this is.

It’s a forward-looking assessment with built-in uncertainty, paired with a list of structural problems that need fixing.

And then there’s the part that’s hard to ignore. Yesterday in Question Period, Liberals were lecturing Conservatives about clickbait, about proper sourcing, about not relying on what you consider the wrong media. The implication being that information must be complete, accurate, and responsibly presented. That Canadians deserve the full story. Agreed.

So apply that standard here. Because what’s happening right now is a hedged remark being presented as certainty, a relative comparison being framed as absolute strength, and a report full of warnings being reduced to a couple of flattering lines.

If anyone else did that, you’d call it misinformation. You’d question their credibility. You’d suggest Canadians shouldn’t trust it. But when it’s your own messaging, it’s suddenly fine.

That’s a tough sell. Especially to people who are living the gap between what’s being said and what’s actually happening. People who don’t need an IMF report to tell them something feels off, but will absolutely check one when they’re told everything is “strong.”

Because when “probably” turns into “definitely,” and when half a paragraph gets presented as the whole truth, it stops looking like a misunderstanding. It starts looking like a choice.

And Canadians are getting better at spotting the difference.

Minister MacKinnon announces sovereign space launch capabilities through the Canadian Space Launch Act - Canada.ca

I feel like this is up there with that time Ottawa bureaucrats thought solar power in the high arctic was a great idea even though the sun is below the horizon for 6 months of the year and it's cloudy for the other 6.

Or that time Gerald Butts introduced the Green Energy & Economy Act in Ontario and Liberal insiders got millions and Ontarians got energy poverty.

I suspect it's not about the results, though.  It's about the slush fund opportunities.  I mean, it's $40 billion for Liberal insider pockets.  They'll launch a model rocket, cancel the project and *poof* the money will disappear.

But the photo ops can be endless:  Carney will find an Isaac Newton figurine and claim he "developed" the Law of Gravity just to jumpstart Canada's space program.

I was reading a Major General in the Airforce one time and he said we should just put a geo-stationary satellite over the North Pole.

Oh, this is Canada's spaceport.  For $200 million.

No I'm not come up there exactly where I left them before  

Yours too. Which I also used to prove my point  

It is truly pathetic and desperate to be a sea lion. I've proven my point a dozen times over with facts, numbers and even graphs, and even pulled from data YOU provided to prove it 

LOL what a sad and bitter little man you are  

Life in canada, even in vancouver, was affordable under harper. Even by 2015 it was expensive but affordable. 

Now, it isn't. The average couple eanring average wages wouldn't be able to buy a home suitable for raising a family and it's much harder to afford food. 

THat's life under the libs. Cry harder, that won't change.

Sorry kid, Vancouver was expensive but still affordable under harper. Under Justin Trudeau and now carney it is unaffordable completely.

I know that breaks your heart but oh well

Alberta calculates that foreign workers cost us ten times more in government spending than they pay in taxes.This is from hospital visits for them and their family, education for foreign worker's kids, child tax benefits they recieve, etc. Foreign workers damage the social structure of the country by making it hard for young Canadians to find first jobs, depress wages, and are also a heavy tax burden.

Groot, which is it....  In 2024 she wrote a letter to Trudeau saying that the immigration levels into Alberta were too low and was asking for more immigration.  Now it's problem...  wonder why?

https://www.alberta.ca/system/files/Premier Smith Letter to Prime Minister Trudeau.pdf

Dear Prime Minister:

I am writing in response to the letter sent by the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, informing Alberta of its 2024 allocations under the

Provincial Nominee Program. With no prior notification, Minister Miller advised that Alberta will

not receive any increases in 2024 allocations to nominate future newcomers and temporary

workers to become permanent residents and stay in Alberta.

I am very concerned with this decision given the adverse impacts it would have on our

province’s economy and ability to help Ukrainian evacuees find permanent jobs and futures in

Alberta. Over the last year, Alberta has participated in good faith in federal-provincial-territorial

consultations on provincial nomination allocations. In September 2023, the Honourable

Muhammad Yaseen, Alberta’s Minister of Immigration and Multiculturalism, requested a much

needed increase in Alberta’s Provincial Nominee Program allocations, including 14,000 in 2024,

14,700 in 2025, and 15,435 in 2026. The revised allocation of 9,750 for 2024 not only falls

below this request, but also falls below the 2024 notional allocation of 10,140 previously

provided to Alberta by the federal government.
