Saab will always have the European market. They'll have markets like Portugal.

For those who think the threat is exaggerated.... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/ec8c7531fb7e553c

You'd think so. But there's nobody more zealous than a recent convert. And the folks who move to Alberta are already self-selecting.

They forget the internet is forever. And a lot of those were really "loud and proud" with their support. The Jewish space laser lady? She ain't living that down.

Have you actually read their platform? They were definitely not. The only thing conservative about them today is that they claim to believe in a balanced federal budget. There's not much daylight between the Greens and the NDP. And in some areas they are even more left wing than the NDP...

More like they will simply say the media lied about their positions and call any playback of past positions "Fake news". I don't think we'll see that much change to be honest.

I think clawback starts at $90k. It's fully clawed back by $148k. We sunshine list working professionals who make $100k. Maybe we should do the same for seniors with six figure retirement incomes where they aren't even working.

I think they would. It all depends on how much dollars per square foot they can get for that space.

Have any of the suburban avenues getting LRTs really gone the midrise route? Cause that was part of the justification for LRT over subway. I want to know how much of that has panned out.

Carney realizes that eventually the Liberals will be out of office and he's gotta just get some urgent policy reforms done. The convenience of not being a career politician.

Remains to be seen if it works in NYC too. The guy has basically promised rainbows and unicorns to all. He will inevitably fail to deliver. Will that make New Yorkers swing right or left after? Hard to say.

Raising taxes while companies are being pressured to move to the US? Bold move for sure. And there will be nothing like this while they are in a minority. It would probably be a redline for every potential partner. Hopefully, if they get a majority, they go for it over the next 2-3 years...

How much further can this CPC go? Their members are crossing the floor because they want stability and are fed up with their leaders antics. They wouldn't have crossed for Trudeau. But they will cross for Carney.

It's really going to be interesting. I'm curious to see what the take here is in a few years. The comparisons here are funny. At least Jack Layton knew the difference between federal and provincial powers.

The fact that you think what works in Orangeville (32k), Tallinn (465k) and Augsburg (300k) are comparable to NYC (8.5M) says it all. But also, those European cities have substantial public funding for transit which NYC doesn't. So every dollar going to pay fare subsidies means less for...

There's books and documentaries about this. But let's start with his worst failure: breaking the decades long societal and political consensus on immigration in Canada. We've had decades of polling where Canadians mostly said immigration was a positive for the country. Then came Trudeau. His...

Free buses. There's no transit system anywhere which gets better when free. Not sure why New York will be the exception. Substantial increase in rent control. I get why he wants to do it. Won't solve the housing crisis there. Among the few things that economists have bipartisan consensus...

Yeah. I think a huge part of why Mamdani won was because of his open campaign against inequality and cost of living. He was the only candidate arguing to tax the rich and make more public services cheap or free.

I like what Mamdani represents. I am just sad that so many of his policies are economically nonsensical or entirely out of his power. What happens for left wing policies when he fails?

Carney is removing the carbon cap. No way the Greens support the budget. Harper's 2009 deficit adjusted for inflation is actually a few hundred million higher. I think this is what the modern version of Martin-Chretien policy looks like. He's going back to basics emphasizing infrastructure...
