If you have 3 months to live and not getting medical help needed in Canada, money becomes secondary concern https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/consumer-alert/article/i-had-3-months-to-live-if-i-didnt-do-this-ontario-man-travels-to-united-states-and-pays-600000-for-life-changing-surgery/

To be fair, I know people from Ontario who had to travel to Buffalo for diagnostics, because they had to wait for over 9 months in Ontario, and the cost of few thousand dollars was not that great to them.

Will be funny if “wise” Canadians will elect liberals for another term - get that Trump!

Don’t be surprised if they eventually do

Dude, you are not making any sense. Are you from Alberta? She was elected to represents interests of Albertants, and this is what she is trying to do, as she understands it. It is up to the Alberta’s voters to judge her next election, not some internet randos.

It is not wise to reject the idea without any details - at least this can be negotiated, and if some kind of union is to advantage to Canada, then why not? Jingoism is not practical - look at Ukraine for example. The most outrageous thing to me about Trump proposal is that Canada would be one state - it should be at least 4.

How is this a bait - comparing to the evil globalists with performative reformist policies that are factually neo-liberal, even PP is better.

I hope she loses her seat

It just creates a two tier system where luck few who managed to get government jobs enjoy full benefits, indexed salaries, etc and the rest have to do precarious gigs at temp agency with night shift at minimum wage. If so called “socialists” cared about ALL working people, I would have less problems with this. Another problem is that a lot of government services like TTC are very expensive, but also very inefficient - I don’t know if you use TTC and were able to use public transport in other countries - we get charged premium prices for subpar services.

That a weird reaction… What history? Nothing to add to the point? What would be bad in economic free trade union? Lots of Canadians I talked to are dreaming of moving to the states, BTW - lower cost of living and higher wages.

I don’t think it is forceful - Trump said it would be economic - I guess offering “deal” Canada cannot refuse. I think he is bluffing at this point - clearly this is just in his head. If there is a concrete plan of some EU-style economic union with mostly political autonomy, I think it may be beneficial to Canada - the reality is that Canada cannot prosper without relying on the USA.

I think a municipal sales tax is technically possible.

As usual, Chow misleads the public - the biggest increase goes to the most generous ever public-union contracts, and I don’t think that this will make TTC run better or the streets cleaner.

He is not WEF-trained

Not nominally, but she copied “progressive” policies of the US Democrats run cities:

• tax increases
• allowing homeless to camp anywhere in the cities
• housing first approach
• normalizing hard drugs trade and use

And I think the results will be the same as in San Francisco and anywhere else such policies were implemented

Changes in Toronto are already pretty obvious

How Is he wrong here?

I don’t really have an opinion on weather this particular decision is justified - tenant boards are known to usually side with tenants. But, to be fair, setting rent controlled increases to amount less then inflation is not really fair - it creates imbalances, where wealthy tenant maybe paying way less than market rates (like surgeons renting in San Francisco)
