No he got the job partially on his name and said he would be a different politician transparent and put through election reform . Sadly he was one of the most crooked politicians in CDN history and you need to be a uneducated human to vote for him

The move relies on people like you willing to be duper by Poilievres anti-media nonsense.

So what? Neither brought any particularly relevant live experience to the roll, and I don’t see how that has helped either of them be better.

I am surprised that the Bloc is propping up the Liberal government. They are in a great spot for an election with the liberals in the toilet. As well the NDP's are basically represent the liberals.
The longer the Bloc waits the better the chances become that Justin steps down . You should want to go against Justin Trudeau leading the libs not a Mark Carney

Uh the Bloc knows that Poilievre is horrible and entirely anti-thetical to their values. As he says clearly, replacing the liberals with a conservative majority doesn’t one iota advance their interests.

yup.
And Carney wouldnt change much in Quebec for the liberals.
The "PC" is almost non existent already here.

The big picture in the ROC matters much more.

National Truth and Reconciliation day reminds us what a failure Justin Trudeau is. We all remember the first one we’re JT decided to go surfing instead . His promise of clean drinking water in 4 years but still not met . His excuse it’s hard .
The 79 recommendations he promised to fulfill he has met 13 of them I do believe.
The only thing Justin’s great at is increasing his net worth while in government.

What are people's opinions on the house market over the next year? In my area listings have really increased and sales have dropped. Seems like people are trying to still sell at 2023 prices and buyers aren't.

Ya the hope for sellers is that there a bunch of buyers waiting on the sidelines for interest rates to come down and then demand will jump as those people flood back in. But I suspect this hope is too rosy and the demand jump won’t be as large as they suspect due to weakness and uncertainty in the larger economy (example people not moving as they want to keep the job they have).

What on earth are you talking about? Like is this some right wing salary or are you talking about him receiving his legal salary?

Poilievre great at becoming a multimillionaire due to a lifetime drawing a government salary.

This is also going to weigh in on were you live. Take Alberta Calgary is red hot while Edmonton is a bit stale .

Saw a good run down the other day of a range of Canadian cities with actually low net immigration rate and high rent increases, putting to the test the narrative that rent increases are predominantly something to do with immigration.

I saw a piece on Global I do believe about a refugee family from Syria and I never knew they get sent to cities they do not get to pick. They sent them to Vancouver and they can not afford rent . Seems kinda nuts to send refugees to Toronto or Vancouver

The big cities have all the resources though, the jobs, the training facilities, multi-lingual resources, the local communities of immigrants from those nations, etc etc etc. Like I get the tension that they are also expensive, but there are a lot of advantages of big cities for new refugees integrating a new life that isn't necessarily set up in a random small town in northern BC or whatever.

yes let's put refugees in the most sought after places in a country, which not all natives can afford to live in

I didn't say eliminate all big cities but the Greater Vancouver area and Toronto may be a few areas you do want to avoid

To me it looks like people are currently listing their homes hoping to catch the top of the market but buying has slowed down. Sure a good house sells in a couple of days but a lot are sitting for 50+ plus days when last year they would have snap sold. I have no data to back this up, it's just my observation following the listings in my city and on the East Coast.

PBO comes out with the corrected report on the carbon tax his findings

If you just calculate what you pay and get back CDNs are ahead
If you calculate all the costs CDNs pay more than they get back
He also stated doesn’t matter what CDNs do it will have no effect on climate change

What an incredible **** up. The corrections literally HALVED the economic costs of the carbon tax. HALVED. This is so embarrassing. Every single time poilievre or lozen droned on about the GDP hits, the data they used was exaggerated twice as bad as it really is. PBO should resign on the spot for letting such a dangerous fiction perpetuate.

Of course, this remains the “apples to nothing” comparison where there are small costs - HALF of what they were originally claimed to be - but it is compared to the baseline of doing absolutely nothing. As probably the cheapest and most economically efficient approach, if you ever do an “apples to oranges” comparison against any other plan, carbon tax is coming out WAY ahead.

And the report confirmed the carbon tax is likely to cut 13 megatonnes. Thats an important chunk needed for our Paris commitments. If you remove it, what else are you spending on to get it back?

Here is the reality the PBO is estimating the costs and no way can he be exact that CDN's pay more or that they get back more.

I still find it funny no one can tell me or is willing to tell us how they determine the average CDN pays in carbon tax . I heard it was based on a family of 4 owning one car and driving 15,000 kms a year .

Sounds accurate. Why are you mad about this?

The good news is that the carbon tax
  1. Fiscally rebates much more money back in your pocket than it costs
  2. Economically compared to "doing nothing" has HALF the cost it was estimated previously.
  3. Cuts 13 megatonnes of emissions, an important component of meeting our paris accords

Sounds like a huge win.
