Gurn Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 A brief story about immigration: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/posthaste-canada-s-immigration-clampdown-could-have-more-consequences-than-we-thought/ar-BB1r1qcG?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=1cee36e7d8164188996100c1cef5e1a1&ei=21 snip " However, there’s also a negative flip-side to slowing the numbers. If Ottawa is successful, it will have an impact not only on economic growth, but also on the country’s deficit and debt , says Randall Bartlett, senior director of Canadian economics at Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec. The plan to limit non-permanent residents will slow growth in the working-age population, which in turn will slow growth in real gross domestic product . “A slower pace of real GDP growth and inflation means that growth in nominal GDP — the broadest measure of the tax base — will be lower as well,” said Bartlett. ------------------------ Mal.

We're actually not staying at the resort. We have a spot booked in Parksville that costs a lot less. The ferry alone is $1000, plus we have to stay overnight in Port Hardy both ways....

Bob Long Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 This is pure Skippy. A guy who's had his entire career in politics calling another politician a "sellout" Conservatives launch attack ads on NDP, calling leader 'Sellout Singh' https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/conservatives-attack-ads-ndp-1.7281519 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 ^" "The New Democrats signed a political pact with the Liberals in 2022 to secure their support on key votes in the House of Commons, in exchange for progress on shared priorities like pharmacare and dental care. Conservatives suggest Singh is maintaining the deal to secure his MP pension, which he will qualify for in October 2025, when the next federal election is scheduled." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If only some other MP had left politics after serving 2 terms, then bitchin about length of time served, might have got some traction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
