What happened:

...based their high-profile analysis of the federal fuel charge — commonly known as the carbon tax — on calculations that included more than just the federal fuel charge.

It turns out the PBO's complex computer code had actually included the federal output-based pricing system — commonly known as industrial carbon pricing — when it wasn't supposed to.

The new numbers is not going to available for a while:

As we've heard, Giroux doesn't think the "economic" costs will be all that different once the PBO is done rerunning all its mathematical models in several months' time.

The countries people like going to is Mexico, Costa Rica, Portugal, Vietnam, Thailand off the top of my head. They're pretty happy to take retirees with money.

Thus far I saw no proposals that don’t destroy portion of non-rich population.

I haven't seen any specific data for it but I would believe there a lot more people who don't own homes then those who are newer owners with limited equity. Out of the long and rather ambiguous list of items the Liberals introduced in the budget for housing the 20 million for StatCan to collect more housing data was probably the highlight for me.

Would you care if you are at worst the second option to run the country.

Really the only thing that a Liberal or Conservative brings to the table is that they're not incumbent party.

It would be dependent on why the drop occurs.

If it's because Canada become unfriendly to holding housing as a investment then I don't see how your scenario would be applicable. Specifically any scenario where Canada actually wants to keep housing affordable would mean people look elsewhere for investments.

then find they can’t afford to live anywhere in retirement.

I think the plausible circumstance is them selling and moving out of Canada, really it's the logical thing to do when you destroy the eco system you inhabit for gains. Then the money also gets spent out of Canada, we might spend less on healthcare cost for the elderly but I could see the math working out to be a net loss.

As someone who advocates for unions. The police unions seems pose quite a hazard for the public these days.

This guy is so nutty that he makes Pierre seem grounded. Also for anyone wondering this guy's other claim to fame is his obsession with transgender people.

In posts on both Facebook and Twitter, Rustad, the MLA for the Nechako Lakes riding west of Prince George, shared a graphic and post arguing that people had been "hoodwinked" by climate change science and they should be glad CO2 is being emitted into the atmosphere.

Out of the many repost of this story since Friday this is most wild claim I've seen. It's on r/Canada level of ignorance.

The authors of the study by the non-partisan Fraser Institute

I've also never seen something with that many citation on Wikipedia.

The Fraser Institute is a libertarian-conservative Canadian public policy think tank and registered charity.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

The broad association with GDP per person is fine as a aggregate measure and the data is from Statcan.

Their interpretation of the data is clearly bias. I think anyone bothering to even skim the actual report data would come to a different conclusion.

The chart also doesn't look to hot for the guy running things in 2008 and part of 2015. Whomever that may be...

To be clear it's on track to be worse than the worst period led by a Conservatives without a pandemic.

The report that is not linked in the article, to be clear the entire thing is just based off of GDP:

Probably the most interesting chart out of the entire thing:

I feel this paints Mulroney(1984-1993) way worse than Trudeau.

That would require a level of political leadership not seen in many decades. Would also help if people voted better.

The title of the article seems to insinuate some type of charity on the landlord's part but it seems like it's very clearly just business a transaction.

He said he was approached by several housing agencies asking if he would be willing to rent units to their clients and because of the promise of guaranteed rent and access to the city's landlord damage fund, he agreed.

"When the agencies came to me and said the rents are guaranteed, that was a big selling point," Dagenais said.

It's even more amazing that people will toss a lit cigarette butt in the middle of droughts.

Like I almost get why someone is so lazy they don't care if things look or smell bad but casual arson is a hell of a leap.

That because they aren't primarily meant for people who buy them to live in, they're just suppose to be flipped after a few years by investors or rented out.

Half of BC's New Condos Apartments Are Investor Owned

I thought that person was just the run of the mill social media idiot until I saw her name on an anti abortion list.

Crazy politics has gotten so bad in Canada people will vote to pay this person 210k a year.

This is the source of the data for the title of the article, it should answer a lot of the speculative comments in this post.

Table 14-10-0063-01 Employee wages by industry, monthly, unadjusted for seasonality

Also people are significantly associating hourly wage with total annual income much more than it needs to be.

I wish people just come out and say what they want instead making these long ass allegorical speeches. The guy wants subsidies.

Lütke compared the increase in capital gains taxes to levies on cigarettes to illustrate how governments typically put a higher price on activities that it wants to discourage. “To tax innovation, you’ll see the same thing,” he warned.
