It’s true; the only good thing we can say about Poilievre is that he isn’t Justin Trudeau, which is a pretty low bar to clear for a population that has been beaten down for so long.

Poilievre may turn out to be worse: at least with Trudeau, you know what you’re getting.

We are doomed to be run into the ground by globalist technocratic scum.

Unless something drastic changes, yes, 100%.

What we are experiencing people, is stage four capitalism. Political ideologies don't kill people-people kill people.

"Build planned cities in the Canadian wilderness."

Idea for these planned cities: Mine out the ice and snow and market it as "pristine glacier ice" with "all profits going to protecting the glaciers". Sell it to high-class restaurants as a green virtue signal. Instant revenue stream.

The funny thing is, that could work.

Next idea: special economic zone, server farm, build it in a half-buried structure. Run heat pumps between the server room and the outside. Use the low-grade heat from the server racks and bitcoin farms to brew water. Hook it up to that new CANDU nuke I heard you have now on Decouple Media for reliable, CO2-free baseload power (though I have nothing against running a combined-cycle gas turbine and using the server heat to keep the pumps warm to prevent another Texas.

Have a friend (I'm Filipino) who got permanent residency to Canada along with his wife on the back of being techies. Working remotely somewhere in Alberta. Will have to ask him if this could work.

Here is the problem: The Canadian government is coming after the rural folk too.

I have a friend who has a small acreage in Saskatchewan; she told me that her Rural Municipality is imposing new bylaws which would require registration of livestock and machines -- which will then be followed by new taxes.

The idea is to make rural life so expensive that you're forced to sell and move into the 15-minute cities.

If you've still got a car or a motorbike (you can bike year-round here), practically anywhere is a 15-minute city.

I'm simply of the opinion that government is perpetually broke and new taxes are just them scrounging in the couch for change to pay lip service to debt service with. Somehow forgetting that taxes are naturally a regressive net cost to the economy that feeds and clothes us all. The 15-minute city quaspiracy, I feel, is just a second-order effect of that (and of many national policymakers being cosmopolitan city elites and just "writing what they know").

Quaspiracy isn't a typo, by the way - it's a personal coinage.

I don't crap on the country because ultimately I'm from there. You just aren't the country I left. Now would someone please refuse to wax my balls so I can collect 5k? (That's a joke)

We don't need to build cities in our pristine wilderness. we need to deport 5M+ parasites. it's about as likely to happen as those planned cities and would actually be good for real Canadians. what's going to actually happen is just a lot of poverty and then violence, unfortunately.

Seems like we have followed a similar political path (I still beat myself up for voting Libs, not just in 2015, but for all of my voting life; ought to have studied liberal theory more earnestly growing up).

You're right about the situation here. It's hopeless. And, for what scant alt-media that does exist, it just isnt up to the task (the term 'useless' is apt). It so bad here that I barely pay attention to domestic affairs anymore; I know more about what is happening in the U.S. and Britain than I do here.

Alas, I, too, am fully black-pilled about Canada's future.

The alt media in Canada (Rebel, TNC, Counter Signal, etc.) is largely controlled opposition with Zionist funding. It is pathetic.

It is perhaps better to not pay attention to what’s happening in Canada politically. It’s way too depressing.

Zionist funded. Really? What makes you think that?

Lol!

...followed by a long sigh.

Yes. Very depressing.

Every conservative government elected provincially or federally, with few exceptions been socialists driving the speed limit. I remember my dad ranting about it growing up in the 1970s, seeing it in action as an adult with Mike Harris, and coming to the conclusion that it won’t be fixed and leaving Canada twenty plus years ago. Your suggestions show a lot of promise to address some of the issues, but I don’t see anyone outside the establishment who grasps this and can start a movement.

Housing prices is largely influenced by money laundering and cheap access to credit adds fuel

Certainly it is part of the equation, which is why credit needs to be made tighter, as I address in the article.

The money that is laundered is foreign and after cleaning , cash is used to purchase real estate. They don't borrow alot of money as the assets are used as a savings account

would be simple enough to crack down on this but seems like a lot of the provincial governments are in on it, probably the federal as well. there's no political solution
