I do like your hate of Trudeau though, just don't forget to pay your transfer duties to Quebec :P


What isn't spoken about enough is how Trudeau immigration policies are creating a massive increase in rental prices. 500K+ immigrants for 2022, no end in sight until 2025. Year over year 10% rental increase across the board. Great for landlords like me, but don't know how this benefits the rest of Canadians living here.
I do not hate Justin Trudeau i just think he is a horrible PM and governs similar to Trump

See I am not sure I would blame Trudeau for increase in Rental rates. The reason more folks are renting is they can not afford to buy a house in this economy. Interest rates, building costs all have exploded. Now some might want to blame him for the inflation and interest rates thats another topic

WE need immigration in todays job market. Its the one way were going to get more doctors, nurses and skilled workers

I am one that tried to sell my home before moving to build in BC and no luck. I was easily able to rent out my Garage suite and house

I have been here 8 weeks now and Ill be honest I love it. The small town atmosphere is really nice.

The Kootenays are just fabulous . Seem to be a conservative stronghold as well

You were right about the bureaucracy with BC Housing compared to Alberta.

Things I miss is Costco and Beer selection. Privatized Liquor Stores Suck. Cost of Living is higher Provincial sales tax sucks as well as the land transfer tax

Things I don't miss the Crime of a big city and the weather is nicer my pooches love all the adventures we go on as well

Ya I mean I guess in your case going from a bigger city to a small mountain town is probably a bigger change than alberta to BC. And ya, a lot of those places are pretty conservative with their principle economy being forestry/mining/etc.

Id agree with you that is the bigger change . Im gonna be here for three years minimum and I do not see me leaving . I am gonna change my Drivers License, Insurance and health care in the next 6 months as well. Health care seems to be a challenge here.

Love having the Cranbrook Airport as well 55 minutes to Calgary and 1.5 hours to Vancouver . I have used it once already to fly to Vegas for the Builders Show

I would put the cost of living at least 15-20% higher here

They black out most of the Oilers games as well which seems dumb

Probably the most damning allegation in the CSIS leak is that one of China’s Canadian consulates told Chinese billionaire Zhang Bin to donate $1 million to Trudeau-related causes — after which he would be reimbursed for the amount.

Great Opinion Piece on China's Interference in Canada's elections. Note to Monteroy an opinion piece

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canad...5f250a74&ei=21

It asks some great questions

Quote:
Did the Liberal party also turn a blind eye as the Chinese Communist Party and its proxies tried to manipulate Canada’s elections?

Was the Liberal government’s foreign policy swayed by the prospect of electoral gains in ridings with large Chinese Canadian populations?

If the prime minister wants to repair public trust in our democracy, reduce polarization and restore public confidence in our leaders, he should set in motion some form of impartial inquiry to answer these questions.

Trudeau told reporters in Vancouver on Wednesday that there is always more to do to reassure Canadians about the integrity of our institutions. There is certainly more to do to convince Canadians about the integrity of the Liberal party.
Is Trudeau dividing the nation like Trump?

Canada is miles away of being divided like the US .
Actually I think it’s individual like alberta prime minister that try to divide the country with her nonsense laws trying to rejected federal government .

Another example
https://www.thestar.com/politics/fed...w-premier.html

https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pm...8c1bd9080/amp/

All I see is the far right trying to start a narrative from non existing problem and try put a stupid bill to show primacy of power from provincial government and saying see we protect u from your harsh neighbors Canadians ….
Instead of actually doing some real governing and fix real problems .

Many would say the same thing about Quebec and its Bill 21 and language laws . Though I do not think they result in a divided Canada

I do not agree with Danielle Smith on those items but understand the fight against the carbon tax and federal policies that impact two provinces.

I am curious if the people from this thread that have in the past supported Trudeau still like him? At this point you really don't see a lot of people defending him or admiring him. Whether itt, social media, reddit etc. Even the people I know that voted liberal the last 3 elections have seemed to sour on him.

Again it's like Trump and the GOP . They may not like his conduct but will continue to vote for him because they can't vote for the other party.

At some point the liberal party itself has to come to reality and realize they can't get a majority with Justin

I think you mean Biden and the democrats. But it's not like that at all, a lot of Canadians dislike Trudeau but vote Liberal because they like there MP.

Well technically they both apply GOP and Dems

I look at my family and my sister who did vote Trudeau twice could not the third time and never will again. My brother is like Uke and votes for him because of his climate policies. Though my brother says if the Conservatives had a better climate policy he would vote conservative .

Liberals blocking Justin's Chief of staff from testifying

We can only assume Trudeau was advised of the interference and his compromised cabinet minister but they were interfering in a way that helped the Liberals so Justin was OK with it
Dam even his own story has changed so many times in the last few weeks

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canad...5ec329f37&ei=8


Lets be clear Justin is more concerned with protecting himself

Marc Garneau resigns. My guess cant handle Justin's corruption

Interesting activity in Canada's forests...

Quote:
Who's behind Canada's new pulp-and-paper powerhouse, and where's the money coming from?

A few lines in business news last week marked the emergence of a new powerhouse in Canada's forestry sector, as a company called Paper Excellence officially gobbled up Montreal-based Resolute Forest Products.

After 15 years of buying up Canadian pulp, paper and lumber mills, Paper Excellence is now the largest producer of paper pulp in the country, with about 20 per cent of all mill capacity — 50 per cent bigger than its closest rival, Canfor, according to data from pulp-market analysts TTOBMA.

But for such a major player, Paper Excellence is remarkably quiet about the inner workings of its business.

Who exactly runs the company? Who is Jackson Wijaya, the elusive founder and CEO? How did it come into the billions of dollars to fund its acquisitions, and what does it plan to do with nearly 22 million hectares of Canadian forest it now manages — an area four times the size of Nova Scotia?

The people behind or associated with Paper Excellence appear to have a pattern of using thickets of corporations, including in tax havens, effectively shielding transactions and assets from public and government scrutiny.

The company won't open up about its past financing, some of which was facilitated by the China Development Bank, which is owned by the Chinese government.

CBC's investigation also found leaked records and insider accounts that show that Paper Excellence, at least until a few years ago, appears to have been closely — and secretly — co-ordinating business and strategy decisions with Asia Pulp & Paper, one of the world's biggest pulp-and-paper players, which has a track record of environmental destruction.

I was never the biggest fan; a good friend of mine worked with him as a teacher and wasn't especially impressed which was the first I knew of him. As he became more prominent, I appreciated his demeanor at times, but he also came across as a little too performative for my tastes. But the Liberal party lines up most closely with my own values, so that's where I most often park my vote. We also had a Liberal MLA who I could support. As time has gone on, I've become more tired of Trudeau, and the Liberals have had a number of missteps, so I'll definitely be looking another direction. Sadly, this happens just as the Conservatives have elected pretty much the most unappealing leader they could have IMO, so I'll likely be taking a look at our local NDP & Green candidates next election. We've recently moved to an even more Conservative riding, so my vote is unlikely to matter anyway.

No, once again it's nothing like Trump and the GOP - you've got a really strange need to bring Trumpian politics into this thread at times when it really doesn't fit. Like in every country, of course there is a % of voters that are diehard right or left who aren't inclined to change their vote, but we're nowhere near as entrenched and divided as the US is. Also, we have multiple strong parties, so it's easier for us to move our vote.
