Good article on the downside of restrictive occupational labour laws.

@EricDLombardi Well said Eric.

@Dave_Eby This is really bad economic policy. Micro managing the economy will not work. Encourage more competition to help the consumer with high grocery prices.

[Bernhard Eichenlaub @Bernhard_Econ]

@Dave_Eby Who will pay? Future taxpayers.

[Bernhard Eichenlaub @Bernhard_Econ]

@EricDLombardi @LFairclo Sorry to hear you are ending your campaign. Thank you for giving it your best.

[Bernhard Eichenlaub @Bernhard_Econ]

@AlvinTedjo Stupid policy. Stop it.

@strauss_matt @EricDLombardi I joined the Liberal Party of Ontario for the same reason you did!

[Bernhard Eichenlaub @Bernhard_Econ]

@EricDLombardi Great pro-trade post Eric!

[Bernhard Eichenlaub @Bernhard_Econ]

@fordnation The costs are criminally too high.

I have to fact check Canada's Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne, again.

The dairy supply management system hasn't been serving Canadian well at all.

Not only it reduces supply of dairy production artificially to keep prices up and red taped farmers, the actual number of dairy farms in Canada has dropped by almost 30% in just 14 years. The number of jobs in this industry has also dropped by thousands over the last 20 years.

Canada needs more choices, less taxes, and less protectionism.

A system that makes farmers throw their product away instead of giving it out and reduce prices or get penalized isn't it.

[Bernhard Eichenlaub @Bernhard_Econ]

@jkenney Fully agree. Supply management is obviously poor economic policy.

[Stephen Gordon @stephenfgordon]

I will believe that a Canadian politican or a Canadian pundit is serious about how monopolies make food prices higher than they should be the minute they start pointing their fingers at the Dairy Cartel as the absolute worst example.

@Afinetheorem Beautiful! Roof decks should be legal!

"Ottawa needs to look into chicken prices across the country. Whole chicken prices are up 33.5% on average over the last 12 months. Given that chicken is supply-managed in Canada, consumers have every right to ask why prices are rising this aggressively." https://t.co/j99iPOc3K0

Sweden is choosing capitalism.

Social spending as percentage of GDP is now 24%, lower than most of Northern Europe.

Sweden has surpassed the US in billionaires per capita.

School choice is universal, one in ten teens goes to a school operated by a company listed on the Stockholm stock exchange.

Taxes have been cut three years in a row.

Sweden has seen "more than 500 initial public offerings over the 10 years through 2024, more than Germany, France, the Netherlands and Spain combined"

Nearly half of primary healthcare clinics are now privately owned.

The result? Same as always. Sweden is projected to grow 2% a year through 2030, which is the same as the US and double France and Germany.

How many times does this have to keep happening across the world? How many times does free market capitalism have to prove itself superior to socialism before the world accepts the truth?

[Sean Speer @Sean_Speer]

If Alberta's modest and reasonable health-care reforms are indeed in contravention of the Canada Health Act, then we must confront an uncomfortable truth: the law prioritizes egalitarian virtue-signaling over life and liberty of Canadians.

Its defenders would sooner tolerate people dying on wait lists than allow individuals to pay for more timely care for themselves and their families.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the most radical (and indefensible) mainstream political view in Canada.
