Canadian Standard of Living Plummets Lower, Approaching Lost Decade: NBF
https://betterdwelling.com/canad…
“The country received a number of warnings from prominent agencies, that building an economy focused on credit creation and housing isn’t sustainable. Rather than acknowledging these issues, the country doubled down on trying to stimulate housing demand. In the process, it’s also managed to send global investment fleeing for greener pastures in record volumes.
The OECD previously forecast real GDP growth that indicated quality of life would stagnate. Canada would occupy the growth spot that Greece did during the financial crisis, but for decades. That forecast is looking generous these days.”
Doom n gloom eh

Canada ranked 6th-most miserable country by think tank.
(*out of 35 countries, but still.)On Tuesday, the Fraser Institute revealed where 35 countries rank on its Misery Index, an economic measure based on inflation and unemployment rates.
With its Misery Index score of 10.88, Canada was the sixth-most miserable country, thanks to its 3.15 per cent inflation rate and 7.7 per cent unemployment rate in 2021.
Spain was the most miserable, with a score of 17.61, followed by Greece with 15.73, Italy with 11.96, and Iceland with a score of 11.26.
Japan and Switzerland were the least miserable countries, with scores of 2.61 and 3.57, respectively.
France, the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. were all deemed less miserable than Canada.
- "Misery Index" is my next post-hardcore band btwnb
- do all these metrics actually constitute misery? what if Canadians just quit their jobs, collected Cerb and spent the day pickling shit and smoking weed?_niko
- ...sounds like happiness to me lol_niko
- Fraser Inst. is known to suck, full of d-bags who have no clue what happiness isnb
- Just look: Italy, Greece, Spain and Iceland are more miserable than Canada? Lol but I guess happiness is low unemployment.nb
- agree nd, idiotic_niko
- 3.15% inflation is based on old data. We now stand at 4.7% annual inflation (mid Jan). USA at 6.8 as of now. 12 months ago it was 1.0% and 1.4% respectivelymonNom
- It's going to get worse.monNom
- The Fraser Institute is a bunch of neocon shits.i_monk
- I am pretty happy. Inflation is a bitch though.eryx
- "Misery Index" is my next post-hardcore band btw

Anyone else worry that as the US ship sinks we're going to let ourselves get dragged down too instead of cutting the ropes?
- No worries, our fearless captain has already abandoned ship.utopian
- From what I know about Canada, it's on my top 5 countries to move to in case of emergency. The other 4 are New Zealand...grafician
- i_monk, I kind of agree. But we are so intertwined it'll be like trying to untangle a thousand lines while we're going under.ben_
- May not even be able to cut them all in time.ben_
- fuck it, just build a wall alreadygrafician
- except the Great Lakes, just throw some great whites in there, just to be safegrafician
- I think about this often, I think if a civil war breaks out again, we’ll be dragged in as well_niko
- In the event of a 2nd civil war I think we'd be a refuge not a target. Which side is going to expose their flank to the other by attacking us instead?i_monk
- Canadians have a long history of realizing you never count our US cousins out, never write them off. The US is very resilient and has had many comebacks.BustySaintClaire

Americans trust Canadians more than themselves: survey
https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/amer…
According to the survey, 72.5 per cent of Americans trust Canadians, compared to 70 per cent who trust other Americans.
On the flip side, 88 per cent of Canadians trust their countrymen but only 34 per cent trust Americans.
Twenty-one per cent of Canadians don't trust Americans at all while only 7.2 per cent of Americans feel that way about their northern neighbours.
According to Jack Jedwab, President and CEO of ACS, the U.S. and Canadian governments’ approaches to the COVID-19 pandemic greatly influenced respondents’ trust in the countries.
“There was a big slide in trust when you compare the answers from April to the pre-pandemic ones from November,” Jedwab told CTV News.
- Who are the 12% of Canadians that don’t trust Canadians? Damn separatistsGnash

There are over 550,000 native french speakers in Ontario. They pay taxes, and they have the right to continue their education in their own language. French and English are the official languages of this country, so it's not like an immigrant minority asking us to adapt to them. This is our citizens demanding that their right to education be upheld.
It's totally unacceptable to me that a province, which is required by the constitution to manage education, would deprive tax payers of the higher education they actually pay for already. This goes to show what kind of a low life Doug Ford is, he doesn't care about our institutions that ultimately bind us together. He doesn't see that this would be a source of strength, having two major cities in this country with proper universities that are fully french would be a major achievement for Canada. You would actually start to see young people from France come in for a degree and maybe stay and enrich our country more...
anyways, I'd gladly kick that fat fuck in the face if I had the chance.
- Ontario is not a bilingual province and either is Quebec.spot13
- What's your point? Education is still a right. He talks about balancing the budget, when in fact they actually pay enough taxes to have their own uni.zarkonite
- My point is that if you want bilingual schools, vote in a government that would make Ontario bilingual.spot13
- Otherwise there is always New Brunswick - the only French and English province - where the public education system is available in both official languagesspot13
- There are english public schools in Quebec from K to PhD. The point of having rights is to protect minorities, your scenario of a bilingual government willzarkonite
- never happen. The math can't work. As a matter of fact, they did have a french speaker and she quit cuz they told her to shut up.zarkonite
- You're right, Ontario is not likely to become a bilingual province seeing how 96% of Ontario residents don't speak Frenchspot13
- hehe I was just thinking you're right in that the next government could sweep up these votes by promising what the conservatives won't do =)zarkonite
- Democracy! Lolspot13

The new laws introduce free prescriptions for people under 25 and offer universal paid sick days, while abolishing the right for workplaces to request the much-maligned doctor's note when taking time off for health reasons.
