  • I’ve lived in Canada my whole life and lived comfortably up until Covid hit. After the pandemic everything went completely out of whack. My grocery bill tripled, the cost of everything exploded, and we’re experiencing a housing apocalypse (crisis isn’t the correct word anymore). Canada is basically 3 corporations in a trench coat and we’re heading in all the wrong directions.

    What we need is a complete housing rugpull and to kneecap grocery chains or to increase wages to keep up with corporate greed but I don’t think thats going to happen. I’ve also seen a bunch of anti-worker policies become popular in general like leaning on contract/part time work so employers don’t have to pay out benefits and pensions. I could go on and on about that lol. Anyway a lot of people I know straight up left the country and get paid way more to do less work and live in much more affordable conditions, I myself might be doing that soon. Basically its a lot of short-sighted thinking resulting in massive brain drain where I work. I think most of our problems stem from unchecked corporate greed across every industry and we have to put up with it because most major companies operate in a duopoly. I’m not an expert but thats my take. its time for a MAJOR course-correction.
