  • Alberta has no alternatives to export so loses a lot by shipping to the US. Alberta has a huge amount to gain by having alternative shipping routes. I think they'd be happy with things and the media would change their opinion pretty quickly.

  • Its concluding that if Alberta leaves Quebec will be screwed, so its in Quebecs interest to allow a pipeline to prevent secession. The tariffs on manufacturing emboldens this with an even larger crisis. The long term plan would be to end the reliance on Russian energy, assuming its true, but it seems to be unfolding as predicted so far which is neat.

  • What if I'm against immigration due to a housing bubble that is destroying the poor and dramatically increasing price to income ratios, am I a racist or a saint?

    I think anyone with a brain can see that in many countries mass immigration is being used to depress wages and invert the phillips curve after QE, or to prop up GDP to avoid a technical recession in favor of a per-capita recession, which is for some reason not defined or acknowledged. It also clearly hurts the poor and benefits the rich via asset price inflation and higher rental income.

  • The theory is they're drumming up a crisis in order to get Quebec to agree to pipelines. Its not about actually separating.

    Fixing that fork in the road created with 1961 National Oil Policy, that then brought up huge amounts of pain in the 70s and 80s, which basically flipped the table leading to nationalization attempts and the inevitable failure of the national energy policy.

  • The Alberta babies are the one who are changing their referendum laws, I'm unsure what point you think you're making, is it just an attempt at an ad hominem?

  • Its not nonsense, Alberta gets 0$ in equalization payments most years. They also have a small population with extremely high corporate profits with high margins, so those corporations pay more taxes, regardless if it trickles down to workers or not. Also during a recession oil generally does okay, while other provinces are wiped out.

    As far as prefab or anything else, housing prices are a majority land value, taxes, and bureaucracy, it can't make a dent since its not the main issue. Houses don't cost more to build in Canada that in places with cheap housing, its not like laborers are making 300k a year, they can't afford housing either.

  • So what, it shouldn't be funded as a perpetual non-infrastructure program?

    The same could be same as healthcare, yet if we didn't fund it we'd be paying perpetual interest on it.

  • The further you get from the gold standard the worse life you'll have. Though you might have more social media and gadgets you'll have a smaller house and worse quality food/services, as everything is financialized through debt in a futile attempt to force the elderly who own all the assets to consume every greater amounts, as automation progressively decreases the costs and companies find more advanced ways to shrinkflate products.
