Hey @grok, if Canada had matched average G7 productivity growth over the last decade, how much richer would the average Canadian likely be today? Short answer.
@DrJStrategy False. Partly anyway. Our government policies of high taxes, threatened gains increases, expanding bureaucracy and size of gov’t and drunk sailor spending, along with monetary policy (money printing / inflation) has put us here.
Canada is set to announce a deal to supply Germany with liquefied natural gas from a planned export facility on the coast of British Columbia https://t.co/4gs6barVVJ
‼️BREAKING NEWS
The Minister of Finance just hired external consultants for $12,000 to write a speech about reducing the use of external consultants by 20%.
You cannot make this up.
Canadians are being told to tighten their belts while this government spends taxpayer money hiring consultants to explain why there are too many consultants. #cndpoli
“Give them a massive amount of oil, agricultural land, copper, freshwater, and every natural resource in the world. Now make them neighbors with the biggest market in the world. Great, now have them leave the resources in the ground and instead flip condos to each other”.
Must watch! Martha Hall Findley "There's no such thing as a green premium."
"Yeah, climate change is a problem, but I also don't think it's appropriate for Canada to sacrifice the prosperity of Canadians for something the rest of the world isn't doing anymore. "
"And if somebody says, well, we need the social licence, my answer is we need the leadership to go back to the people who are still saying that and say the world has changed."
"This is based on a false arrogance of Canada's role in the world and our contribution to climate." @MHallFindlay@SenatorWallin@DadeSPP
Canada spends more on “residential investment” than any other advanced nation.
Here’s why being a real estate economy isn’t a winning position. Teaser: it’s costing us productivity and long term prosperity.
@tylermeredith Tyler - describe the last 10yrs. Also, define capital investment per Federal government.
If a household runs a shortfall (read deficit), borrowing to invest (leveraged investing) is a major risk enhancer.
Building a sovereign wealth fund through surplus budgets makes sense.
@w4nkie@Nas_tech_AI Canada has a top tax rate on gains of 26.75% (or 50% of realized gains at your marginal tax bracket if lower).
The only time your tax rate is 20% is if your marginal rate is 40% and you trigger some gains.
Half your gains are included and taxed as income.
The Government started talking about the high speed rail in 1984.
From 84 to 2010 almost $600,000,000 was spent on studies.
Since 2020 over $4 billion has been spent on planning. Nothing is built. Not a single line of track. This is an epic boondoggle
@SportsnetSpec@WeAreCanProud I’m torn. She’s one of Canada’s most respected artists and is held out by her industry peers as “the best”. It’s also hard to hear her overtly political comments when she hasn’t lived/voted/paid taxes in Canada in over 50 years. Most deserving of the honour, but zip it. 🤐
🚨Haha! 😂😂 --
Toronto man gives a "taxpayer's acknowledgement"
immediately after a woke Toronto councilor gives a "Land acknowledgement"
"lets reflect and remember that EVERY salary and lightbulb in this chamber is funded by us" 😂😂
Give him the ORDER OF CANADA!
