Are we taking bets on whether anyone will face any real consequences for this?

Jamaharon!

Oh wow. Yeah that's quite the read. Maybe he should have just stuck to crack.

Sorry, maybe I live under a rock. Who is this guy? Why is he angry?

Yes. I agree with you. I think that's an awful idea. It wasn't clear what the poster was suggesting, which is why i asked for clarification.

He asks whether the government will interfere with the BoC, but then says that is only one tool. Then suggests the BoC is incorrect with raising rates since housing prices are not dropping.

Again, the BoC is doing exactly what it is supposed to. The government is failing to address the other issues, which really isn't a BoC issue.

You can only help people who want to be helped. That goes for yourself, too. You can't help yourself until you actually have the desire to improve.

I don't understand. Why do they need to "take on the bank of canada"? As you said, Monetary policy isn't the only tool. Monetary policy is set by the bank of canada. The bank of canada is doing exactly what it is supposed to.

The government sets fiscal policy. Currently the government is in a spending frenzy, which is counter to the Monetary policy.

Does this mean what I think it means?

I started playing the piano. I have just learned from books and the occasional you tube video. I still practice everyday. I can't tell if I'm actually getting any better, but I do enjoy it.

Can you move? Was this not disclosed before you moved in?

Oh, I envy you, DarthonTV. You're just at the beginning of the adventure.

It is scary. Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree that Canada is a great place to live. However, we can't take that for granted.

Don't forget the corrupt politicians who will never face any real consequences.

I don't think you have to be extreme right wing to have legitimate concerns for the future of Canada. The country is literally on fire. Houses are over $1 million and health care is barely functioning.

I'd hate to see the other guys I guess.

Edmonton is probably one of the cheaper places in Canada too.

I hear you. I am hoping our issues are temporary up here. Honestly, our biggest issue is that housing is astronomically expensive and no one has tried to even fix it in earnest. Rising rates are having an impact. Houses are going up for sale and sitting there. At some point it will break and prices may drop.

The Canadian Conservative party is not yet anywhere close to the republican party.

Depends which province, but you will most likely have a corrupt, inept premier. Health care and education are neglected to a dangerous point. The federal government is a contest of who can be the biggest bozo and still get elected as prime minister.

The ideology in Canada is to pay as much money as possible for everything and try not to complain. Prices for goods and services are out of control. Housing is so unreasonably priced that there is no realistic way of affording to rent as an individual or to buy a house without inheritance.

Taxes are on everything and can be quite significant. Most people don't realize how much tax is included in the costs of most things we buy.

We are also bringing in so many new immigrants so there is a constant labour pool to churn through and wages only ever increase nominally.

If you're coming to Canada with a chunk of money, you'll probably be ok until it's taxed out of you. If you're hoping to move to Canada, get a job and rent or buy a place, then life will be tough.

Start writing your memoirs. Or begin writing a semi-erotic fantasy novel. If you're lucky, the two may be the same thing.

I am, too.
