It is impossible to successfully run a welfare state in a low trust society. That is why socialism always leads to disastrous outcomes in 3rd world countries
@wealthmoose How about we put it back to him and have him tell us which one of the countries that signed deals has entered a recession within the period in question...😏
Liberals have spent more than a decade making farming, specifically cattle ranching, impossibly expensive.
Carbon taxes, regulations, and endless paperwork have pushed Canadian beef to be among the most expensive in the world.
Now the liberal party solution is to import meat from countries that don’t have the same standards regarding food safety, animal welfare, or quality control.
They’re tying the Canadian beef industry’s hands behind our backs and bringing in someone to beat us senseless.
When you know how your industries were decimated but still keep voting in politicians who sell out local industries by crafting policies that support imports over local production, you're a willin participant in your own country's economic collapse. Fem!🤫

🇨🇦🥩 Beef Prices Are Exploding ..And It’s NOT Because “Canada Can’t Feed Itself.”
This is the biggest lie Ottawa keeps pushing. 🧵
🇨🇦 Canada exports WAY more beef than it imports.
• 2022: $4.68B exported
• $1.65B imported
➡️ $3B+ trade surplus
We feed other countries just fine. So why are Canadians paying record prices?
👇 It’s not demand — it’s policy.
2/ Ottawa Is Quietly Restricting Supply Through a Broken Import-Permit System
Industry insiders have exposed something wild:
❗A small group of bureaucrats control beef-import permits
❗Permits are manually rationed
❗The system is opaque, outdated, and impossible to audit
❗Favoured importers get all the volume
❗Retailers can’t predict supply → can’t negotiate price → prices spike
This isn’t “market forces.”
This is a government-created bottleneck.
3/ Add Carbon Taxes + Feed Costs + Processing Crunch → Prices Go Vertical
Here’s what’s hitting ranchers and processors:
🔥 Carbon tax on transport → every km adds cost
🔥 Feed costs up 20–40% due to inflation + drought
🔥 Processing capacity maxed out → two giants control the market
🔥 Regulatory delays stop new processing plants
🔥 Labour shortages → ranchers can’t scale
Result?
Less supply → higher prices → exporters win → Canadians lose.
4/ Meanwhile Ottawa Pretends Immigration Will “Fix Beef Supply.”
This might be the most insulting part.
Reality check:
Canada exports enough beef to feed every household and still have billions left over.
The real issue isn’t “not enough workers.”
It’s a dysfunctional system protected by lobbyists + government ignoring the red flags.
Canadians are paying luxury prices for Canadian beef in one of the world’s largest beef-producing nations.
You couldn’t design a more broken system if you tried.
5/ Your beef bill is higher because:
✔️ Ottawa throttles import permits
✔️ Carbon taxes inflated every step of the supply chain
✔️ Ranchers face skyrocketing feed + transport costs
✔️ Processing is bottlenecked
✔️ No competition → higher retail prices
✔️ Government hides behind “immigration” instead of fixing actual supply issues
🇨🇦 Canada can feed the world 🌎
but thanks to policy failure,
Canadians can barely afford their own food. 🍱

Consistent with the simulation hypothesis.
Like a video game, objects are randomly generated, with positional certainty only when observed.
@Tetartos4wv @auntiemlin They why come here if they have no desire to adopt good civic habits? They competed 4 basic needs back home bcos leaders are selected via tribal affiliation (same with every 3rd world country). If they couldn't stay & fix their own system, they hav no right to ruin someone else's
Your passion is revealed by what you are will to suffer for
What options does Canada have in 2026 vs Japan in 1991?
Japan's recovery required five structural advantages that Canada simply doesn't have, making the comparison uneven.
Japan entered as net savers. Canada enters as a net debtor. That means no household buffer when income shocks hit.
Japan had fiscal surpluses and two decades of room for deficits. Canada was already running deficits before the crisis started, leaving less room to respond.
Japan had rates at 6% and 600 bps of monetary ammunition. Canada peaked at 5% and is already cutting, so the runway is shorter.
Japan had a massive export manufacturing base. When domestic demand collapsed, Toyota and Sony absorbed the shock globally. Canada, by contrast, is real estate, commodities, and government spending.
No export engine exists to offset a contraction in domestic credit.
Japan even tried 100-year mortgages to patch affordability.
Canada is now extending amortizations to 30 years. In Japan, that delayed the reckoning, but it didn't prevent it.
These advantages are why Japan's path still took 25 years.
Canada has none of them.
There is a better model: Iceland 2008, which shows a different path.
When their banks collapsed, Iceland did the opposite of Japan. They let the banks fail. They imposed capital controls.
They restructured household mortgage debt directly; creditors took the losses, not taxpayers.
And they allowed their currency to devalue, restoring export competitiveness fast.
No extend-and-pretend. No zombie banks. No 25-year drift.
As a result, Iceland's economy returned to growth within three years.
The math for Canada is the same. What changes is political will.
Japan shows what happens when you protect creditors.
Iceland shows what happens when you protect households.
Canada will have to choose.👇
@threinenj @mario4thenorth The economy shrinks in spite of govt spending because the govt is spending more outside the economy (Ukraine for ex) or on line items that do not show up in another player's P&L (debt servicing). What's the point of new trade partners without producing more or growing oil export?
‼️ MAJOR BREAKING: Carney is the first Canadian Prime Minister in 60 years, whose economy shrank in the first year.
Not during a war.
Not during a pandemic.
Not during 2008.
During peace.
During normalcy.
During Mark Carney.
Not slow it.
Not stall it.
Shrink it.
THIS IS “CANADA STRONG” UNDER CARNEY.
The man with a PhD in Economics, elected to run the economy, running the biggest deficit outside of Covid, is the only Prime Minister, in 60 years, to shrink our economy.
Humans set this mountain on fire every February, and they've done it for 700 years. That fire is the only reason it looks like this.
Ōmuroyama is a scoria cone that erupted exactly once, about 4,000 years ago, then went permanently silent. The eruption lasted long enough to pour lava 4 kilometers to the sea, build the entire Jōgasaki Coast, and stack this perfect 580-meter cone. Then nothing, ever again. Geologists call it a monogenetic volcano. One shot, one shape.
Left alone, that shape would vanish. Shrubs and trees would colonize the slopes within decades, roots would break up the smooth profile, and in a century you'd have an ordinary forested hill indistinguishable from the ones behind it.
So every second Sunday of February, the town of Itō burns the whole thing. Crater first, then a ring of fire lit at the base that races to the summit in about 30 minutes. The burn kills every woody seedling while the grass roots survive underground and regrow, and those roots armor the slope against rain and typhoons. The practice started 700 years ago to harvest thatch for roofs. The thatched houses are gone. The fire never stopped.
Walking on it is banned. You take a chairlift up, loop the 1 km crater rim, and ride back down. Japan designated it a national natural monument in 2020, which makes it official: a landform preserved in its natural state by burning it to the ground once a year.
Ancient volcano, kept looking ancient by 700 years of scheduled arson.
For most of modern history, a young family could look at a house and understand the math.
The Story Of Economic Autumn!
It was not easy.
It was never effortless.
But it was understandable.
A normal home costs about two to three times a household's income.
Three times the income was not a law.
It was not a slogan.
It was not nostalgia.
It was gravity.
At that price, a family could buy a home, pay the mortgage, raise children, save a little money, and still live a life outside the bank’s balance sheet.
Then something changed.
After 1980, the world entered a new financial era.
Interest rates began a 40-year decline.
Credit became easier.
Mortgage terms stretched.
Two incomes became the new underwriting base.
Banks discovered that housing was not just shelter; it was collateral.
Governments discovered that rising home prices made people feel wealthier.
Central banks discovered that rescuing asset prices was easier than rebuilding productive economies.
And gradually, without most people noticing, the question changed.
The old question was:
Can a household afford this home from its income?
The new question became:
How much debt can this household carry?
That was the turning point.
Housing stopped being priced mainly by wages and started being priced by leverage.
A home was no longer just a place to live.
It became a retirement plan.
A speculative asset.
A political promise.
A bank asset.
A government revenue source.
A national confidence trick.
And for a while, it worked.
Homeowners felt rich.
Banks grew larger.
Governments collected more revenue.
Developers made fortunes.
Real estate agents became national celebrities.
And young people were told:
Get in now, or you will be priced out forever.
So they stretched.
They borrowed more.
They delayed the children.
They took on longer mortgages.
They moved farther away.
They accepted smaller spaces.
They sacrificed savings.
They confused survival with success.
And the whole system called this prosperity.
But it was not prosperity.
It was financial exhaustion disguised as wealth.
Because shelter cannot permanently rise faster than the incomes of the people who must live in it.
That is not politics.
That is arithmetic.
For 40 years, falling rates hid the problem.
Every time housing became too expensive, the system found a new way to extend the cycle.
Lower rates.
Longer amortizations.
Easier credit.
More investors.
More foreign capital.
More government support.
More pressure on young buyers to take the risk.
But every cycle has a limit.
Eventually, the family reaches the edge.
The mortgage payment no longer fits.
The down payment becomes impossible.
The rent consumes the paycheque.
The commute destroys the day.
The second income does not create freedom; it merely services the debt.
And the dream that once built the middle class becomes a trap.
That is where many countries are now.
Canada.
Australia.
New Zealand.
China.
Parts of Europe.
Major U.S. cities.
The details differ, but the pattern is the same.
Housing detached from income.
Land became financialized.
Debt replaced productivity.
Governments protected asset prices while calling it stability.
And an entire generation was asked to fund the illusion.
This is why the three-times-income rule matters.
Not because every home must return to exactly that number.
Not because every city is the same.
Not because anyone should cheer for collapse.
But it reminds us that housing once had an economic anchor.
A normal home should be affordable on a normal income.
If that sounds radical today, it shows how distorted the system has become.
The painful truth is that no serious housing solution avoids pain.
If prices fall, existing owners feel poorer.
If land values fall, speculators lose.
If credit tightens, banks feel pressure.
If immigration is tied to housing capacity, politicians lose an easy growth model.
If zoning changes, neighbourhoods resist.
If taxes shift toward land speculation, powerful interests fight back.
That is why the system delays reform.
Every real solution takes something away from a concentrated group and gives a long-term benefit to everyone else.
So instead of fixing the model, governments try to stretch it.
They subsidize demand.
They protect prices.
They blame supply alone.
They promise affordability while defending unaffordability.
They tell young people help is coming, while preserving the very structure that priced them out.
But the market has its own memory.
Debt has its own discipline.
Cycles have their own justice.
In LongWave terms, this is what happens at the end of Financial Autumn.
The old model built wealth through leverage, asset inflation, and falling rates.
Economic Winter arrives when the debt-service math stops working.
The system can deny it.
Politicians can avoid it.
Banks can smooth it.
Central banks can delay it.
But they cannot repeal it.
The next Economic Spring will not come from protecting every inflated asset price.
It will come from rebuilding the real economy.
More homes.
More infrastructure.
More energy.
More productivity.
More real wages.
More small businesses.
More productive investment.
More families able to own shelter without becoming servants to debt.
That is the hopeful part.
The goal is not to destroy housing wealth.
The goal is to restore sanity to housing.
A healthy country does not measure success by how much debt young people must carry to buy a roof over their heads.
A healthy country measures success by whether ordinary families can build a life.
Own a home.
Raise children.
Start businesses.
Move for opportunity.
Save for the future.
And leave the next generation better off.
That was once normal.
It can be normal again.
But first, we have to tell the truth.
The three-times-income rule was not an accident.
It was the old affordability gravity.
And after 40 years of pretending debt could replace income, gravity is returning.
That is not the end of the story.
It is the beginning of a more honest one.
Carney’s Canada is becoming a shelter for bad bets made by important people.
Developers built condos Canadians couldn’t afford. Buyers didn’t show up. Prices should fall.
Instead, Ottawa and B.C. step in with billions in subsidies and a plan to convert vacant units into “affordable” housing.
Cute trick.
Privatize the upside. Socialize the downside. Wrap it in a ribbon called compassion.
If you miss your mortgage payment, nobody calls it “innovative financing.”
But when developers need a floor under their losses, suddenly taxpayers are told it’s nation-building.
This is not capitalism.
It’s bailout politics in a hard hat.
A system where you have to justify your income to a government that doesn't have to justify its spending is inherently illegitimate.
🇨🇦 Canada’s housing crisis isn’t complicated. It’s a policy chain. 🔗
Governments opened immigration taps - demand surged. 📈
Developers built overpriced units - supply responded. 🏗️
Municipalities approved everything - property tax revenue soared. 🏛️
CMHC financed it all - risk was socialized from day one. 🏦
Then the market spoke. 📉
Units sat empty. Nobody could afford them.
The developer needed a bailout. 💸
The municipality mismanaged the windfall. 🤦🏻♂️
They needed one too. 🧐
Every private gain was kept. ✅
Every private loss was transferred to the taxpayer. 📉🚨
This is not a housing crisis.
It’s a moral hazard crisis wearing a housing crisis costume. 🎭
And the bill - as always - goes to the Canadian who still can’t afford a home. 🇨🇦

Canada has Collapsed
One of the many symptoms of collapse is the-function of government
Canada's federal government no longer functions
A typical government will pass about 30 pieces of legislation in a year functioning on the priorities of the country
Since Carney got elected in 2025 there were 5 pieces of legislature and halfway through 2026 only 4 pieces so far
The frightening legislation that has been introduced and passed in Canada so far this year is 4 laws.
The focus of the laws that have been passed clearly outline the priorities of the Carney government and they are not about you
.@hollyanndoan @CandiceMalcolm
@TheELongWave The laurentian elite & the politicians on their payroll will still find a way to pass the burden of this tax on the middle class & working masses that own property or try to run businesses. Neo-Feudalism is the eventual outcome if status quo remains
@adelbucetta @TheELongWave You mean governments that are kept in power by voters who ignorantly believe in the promise of a welfare state that is run by bureaucrats who constantly print money to fund deficit spending on white elephant projects + bloated civil service?
Je vais démonter le plus grand mythe sur la pauvreté en Afrique.
On vous répète que c’est une question de mentalité.
On vous répète que c’est la faute d'un ennemi étranger qui pille les ressources.
C'est faux.
Les Africains sont pauvres pour une seule raison : leurs pays ont massivement adopté le socialisme, l’économie planifiée et le dirigisme d’État.
Le socialisme n'a jamais fonctionné. Nulle part. Il détruit l'incitation, l'innovation et l'investissement.
Les chiffres bruts.
- La Corée du Sud : Dans les années 50, elle était plus pauvre que de nombreux pays africains. Aujourd'hui : 36 000 $ de PIB par habitant. Le Nord socialiste ? Il stagne à 1 000 $. La différence ? Le capitalisme libéral et la propriété privée.
- Singapour : Indépendant en 1965. Analphabétisme fort, zéro ressource naturelle. Aujourd'hui : 90 000 $. La recette ? Basses taxes, ouverture au commerce, État minimal.
- Les Émirats arabes unis : Indépendants en 1971. Économie multipliée par 200 depuis leur virage vers une économie de marché ouverte.
- L'Afrique subsaharienne : Elle a misé sur la planification et les nationalisations post-indépendance. Résultat : un PIB par habitant bloqué autour de 1 500 $.
La planification étatique ne crée pas de la richesse. Elle l'étouffe.
Prenez le Venezuela. L'un des pays les plus riches d'Amérique latine dans les années 80.
Aujourd'hui : l'économie s'est contractée de 80 %, des millions de personnes ont fui, et 75 % de la population survit dans l'extrême pauvreté.
Heureusement, quand on change le logiciel, la donne change.
Le Botswana a embrassé le capitalisme et la règle de droit en 1966 : il est passé d'un des pays les plus pauvres du monde à l'un des plus riches d'Afrique.
L'Éthiopie s'ouvre au libéralisme : Ethiopian Airlines devient un géant mondial, transporte 17 millions de passagers et génère 7 milliards de dollars de revenus.
Le développement n'a pas de secret.
L'État ne doit faire QUE le régalien : justice, police, défense, infrastructures de base.
Quand un État devient obèse et se mêle de l'économie, tout s'effondre.
Regardez la France.
57 % du PIB en dépenses publiques. Un record de taxes mondial.
Le résultat ? L'école décline, les hôpitaux sont sous tension, la justice est engorgée. L'État est trop occupé à créer des normes, des taxes et des redistributions pour remplir ses missions essentielles.
C'est le serpent qui se mord la queue dans les pays pauvres : un État obnubilé par le contrôle (réglementations, corruption) étouffe le marché au lieu de faire respecter les contrats.
Il n'y a pas de recette magique.
Laissez l'État au régalien.
Laissez les impôts bas.
Laissez les gens bosser, échanger, créer, ouvrir des ateliers et innover.
Le capitalisme libéral n'est pas parfait. C'est juste le seul système de l'histoire humaine qui sort massivement les peuples de la misère.
