I have honestly never heard GDP per capita used to say that Canada is dysfunctional, I've just seen it used to say that the US has FAR more resources than us (or virtually anyone else) per person and just distribute them badly.

Every pp bootlicker is always going on about GDP per capita like it is the only thing that matters.

These people who complain about our economic growth (Pierre) want to whine about the economy and why nothing gets built, yet kneecap our source of labour aswell. Conservative voters complain about immigration a ton yet Pierre doesn't say anything about lowering immigration from where it's at right now, why is that? Hmmmmm. Every province will say the same thing "we need skilled labour to build the things we want to build" period.
Hopefully eventually we can, with the incentives and tax breaks were giving new families like the CCB, and cheaper childcare, we can see a rise is families being started here at home for the future.

This was an interesting remark, I never thought of that
Caught me off guard too. It's quite a significant number.
