Best investment strategy: big short on inflation. Use an investment strategy based on uncontrolled inflation. The exit moment for that strategy will be when it is mainstream to talk about the real cause of inflation. In the meantime, we will hear a lot of bad explanation
@PeterSweden7 Imagine how weak a country is if they need the UN to do deportations based on rape.
I would say that if so that country is no longer an independent country
@WallStreetMav In addition, Charity was a form of support when the system was based on a small government with very low taxation.
Now that the government takes a very high amount because they claim to be needed to solve all problems, then why pay more through donations?

Canada: Crying Over Spilt Milk in a Self‑Inflicted Stagnation
Canada’s elite have spent a quarter‑century turning a rich, opportunity‑dense economy into a slow‑growth, over‑levered cul‑de‑sac, and they still insist nothing is structurally wrong. There is no sense crying over spilt milk about past mistakes when the architects of this stagnation are still in charge and still in denial.
Canada did not just drift into secular stagnation; it embraced a kind of virtue socialism and an industrial policy anchored on climate change targets rather than productive capacity, competitiveness, or growth. An economy built on world‑class natural resources, strategic geography, and human capital has been deliberately downgraded into a housing‑addicted, low‑productivity balance sheet recession risk, and the people who did it still show up on panels calling this “resilience.”
For years, Canada’s comparative advantages in energy, resources, and industrial capacity were something to apologize for, regulate to death, or tax into oblivion, while policy and capital chased the illusion that you could mortgage and virtue‑signal your way to prosperity. The result is a country flirting with a liquidity trap, where even lower rates may barely move a real economy suffocated by over‑priced assets, under‑built productive capital, and households too damaged to borrow again.
The real scandal is not that Canada faces secular stagnation; it is that the elite engineered it, denied it, wrapped it in climate rhetoric, and now blame external shocks while the data scream that this is a made‑in‑Canada crisis.
To be clear, Canada’s problems are not the result of President Trump!
If Canada’s elite will not finally admit that decades of attacking its own strengths, worshipping its own bubbles, and treating industrial policy as a morality play have left the country one downturn away from a full balance sheet recession, then they are not guardians of the national interest, they are custodians of decline, and at this point, there really is no sense crying over spilt milk, only over the refusal to fix the mess they made.
@yonkojohn More simple
A core Canadian value is to despise wealth and prosperity
While living off like aristocrats on the wealth that was built in the past.
@KonstantinKisin@LaurenceBettle In a healthy society, there is a culture that prevents absurd ideologies from becoming dominant.
Many countries who used to have a healthy culture simply no longer do. See the consequences
@VincentGeloso That is a naive view of the economy.
It is a simplistic view, like you would find in a video game.
Economists are extremely good at oversimplifying things to the point that their argument is dangerous.
European elites shriek about how climate change is going to take lives, meanwhile they’re killing their elderly by the tens of thousands while China pumps out A/C for its farm animals
@Chesschick01 Yet the greatest paradox.
It is women who actually endorse politicians selling ideologies that lead to more rape.
There are enough women out there to force any politician to stop the insanity.
They don’t
@GadSaad The greatest paradox is that woman voters are actually the ones enabling politicians selling ideologies leading to more rapes…
Otherwise there are enough woman voters out there to force the hands of any politician.
