  • Immigration is a factor. Governments (note the S) lack of planning and strategy around it, leaving it to the invisible hand of "market forces" hasn't worked. Even without immigration social trends alone would have dictated higher housing demand as more people are staying single or getting divorced and living on their own. This era of artificially low interest rates and being awash in excessive liquidity for prolonged periods due to various "financial" crises is a much bigger factor in this by creating this prolonged housing bubble. Housing shortages aren't just local. It's global. The world's population has always been growing. There's always been immigration. The reason we have governments is properly manage and plan for these things. It's been a failure at every single level - local, municipal, provincial, and federal.

  • There is nothing wrong with "demand". It is essential to economic growth. Market forces, and governments are the ones failing here.

  • Keep your eyes on the ground outside the fence, and the row of potted plants in the background.

  • What, exactly, are Alberta separatists mad about?

    Jump

  • Let them get very serious about separation. and its consequences. Only when they face it will they realize what they'll have. Or not have. I can tell you one thing - once they have their own currency, it will appreciate. It'll make oil production costs more expensive, make their oil and gas less profitable. Further, their currency becomes directly pegged to the oil price, with little to no stability which makes doing business and trade-dependent economy like theirs and ours more difficult and costly. They will ask to continue to use Canadian dollar and we should absolutely refuse it - they want the benefits without the costs.

    Equalization payments are there for economic imbalances. Look at EU. Once Germany joined EU and uses Euro, it is like a currency depreciation making their goods more cost effective in the world market. Thus Germany enjoys a huge trade surplus. It's not a coincidence Germany has had huge trade surpluses since they went to a common currency. This surplus would shrink if they went back to their own currency, as the Mark will appreciate due to the trade surplus vs other currencies making their goods less competitive in global market.

  • Carney tells Trump Canada is not for sale, president praises PM as a 'very good person'

    Jump

  • The day started with Trump warmly welcoming Carney to the Oval Office, saying there were some "tough points" to discuss while also praising the former central banker as "a very talented, very good person" who deserved to win the recent federal election. Trump praised Carney's election victory

    I think Carney's charmed Trump. Well done.
