    The country is falling behind, but it's hardly (just) Trudeau's fault:

    1. Unopposed leadership. Our parliamentary system is deeply flawed, designed for a past age, and reliant on customs only some of the parties even both paying lip service to anymore. Under FPTP if you cross that minimum seat count, you can do whatever you want until the next election. The Opposition parties may as well go on vacation. Nearly every vote is whipped, so as long as you're even somewhat careful not to spark a rebellion among your own MPs, you will get 100% support for your agenda.

    2. and 4. The BoC only has one level to pull and that's the interest rate. They have no other tools in their tool box. But more relevant is the over-dependence on and entanglement in the US economy, with the EU and China as distant considerations. Too many of our political and economic decision-makers put Wall Street's interests ahead of Bay Street's and certainly Main Street's.

    3. True. Housing has become a retirement plan, most of our politicians are landlords, in the pocket of developers, or both, all creating a crippling fear of doing anything that might lower property values even slightly. If given a choice between paying a fine and building affordable housing, developers will pay the fine—see Montreal. But why are developers even given a choice? The notion of regulating industry for the common good has nearly evaporated here.

    5. We do attract doctors and such, from a diverse number of cultures, then prevent them from working in those fields. If you want to be a doctor here you're required to re-certify and redo your residency in a Canadian hospital, which is expensive and the number of residency programs bottlenecks the entire thing. We've got immigrants coming from all over, but doubling down on a service-based economy means we're mainly going to get whover the most upwardly mobile are around the world – China for a while, then India, now I think it's Nigeria. We're also absolute shit at promoting our own culture because it competes with American imports.

    6. I haven't noticed any change in pot use among anyone I know, but we already had lack of ambition nailed down before it was legalized.

    As a former Canadian, what I see from my outsider perspective is this:

    The country is falling behind rapidly due to a few simultaneous things going on.

    1. Weak leadership. Trudeau’s government appears to make some big decisions based on idealism rather than pragmatism. Political correctness occasionally wins over what is actually good for Canadians.

    2. Weak monetary policy leadership. Historically Canada has done well by following in the footsteps US Fed, staying 1-2 years behind and using the US economy as a bellweather. However, the lack of a similar real estate collapse in ‘09 and then entering the pandemic under very different conditions than the US has meant that the Bank of Canada now needs to act alone, without a clear model to guide them. BoC clearly has not risen to this challenge.

    3. All levels of government and regular Canadians turning a blind eye to the corruption, money laundering and bubble in real estate. For nearly 30 years; the length of a mortgage! The RE industry convinced homeowners that market corrections aren’t necessary and that rapidly rising prices is like winning the lottery. This isn’t true if you only own your primary residence. Eventually you get to be about 60 and your adult children are priced out of their own cities. Then you hit 75 and can’t retire because your property tax is almost as much as your mortgage payment was. The government did nothing to intervene. Canadian homeowners stayed willfully ignorant and the next generation is fucked. Young people can’t afford to have kids because they can’t afford to get them a home. Simple as that. That leads to population collapse and a new desperation for immigrants.

    4. Lack of investment in emerging industries. Canada focused on service sector and resource extraction instead of green energy, technology sector, etcl. It’s amazing that in the blackberry years, most Canadians didn’t even know Blackberry was Canadian. How about Shopify? Shopify is an extremely successful tech company and it’s known as having some of the lowest salaries in tech. Big tech pays about 30% less to Canadian employees than US employees. Canada missed a massive opportunity to grow the tech sector by leveraging the cheaper dollar and encouraging US tech workers to immigrate to Canada. This would’ve changed the entire economic outlook of Canada. Instead, there’s a massive brain drain as anyone who can be successful can do even better in the States. US immigration policy dictates Canada’s ability to retain doctors, software engineers, business consultants, etc. Canada doesn’t appear to even be trying to solve this problem.

    5. Lack of diversity in immigration policy. Canada is putting all its eggs in one basket: population growth. However, in order to use new immigrants to lift the country, you need immigrants that can generate productivity at and above the level of the current population. In simple terms, you need to attract doctors, engineers, businesspeople and you need to make sure they can get certified to do their profession in Canada. What you want is a highly competitive immigration process that has all the strongest candidates trying to get in. The US is pretty great at this and you can see the results after many decades of competitive immigration policy. Also, in order to stabilize your country, you need diverse immigrants. Otherwise your culture will soon be overtaken by a new culture. You want immigrants to bring their cultures and ADD to Canadian culture, to improve it via diversity, not replace it. This means limiting immigrants from the highest population countries (India and China). Trudeau would never do this because it would be perceived as racist (*one can argue that it IS racist but one can also argue that it’s about respecting diversity.) anyway, strong economies are built on diverse populations. Especially in a country that REQUIRES immigration for economic growth.

    6. I left long before weed was legal, but I think legalizing weed was bad for the country. I know many people enjoy weed and it can be a life saver for some but it does suck the motivation from a lot of people. For others it’s a daily escape from their problems. That can be good for an individual but bad in the long run.

    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.”

    The number of immigrants isn't the problem. The problem is we've gone all in on a fundamentally flawed economic model that has made us reliant on an ever-growing population willing to work for less. The problem is we're adding half a million people a year without adding the corresponding infrastructure and social services and housing, because all of that is being privatized piece by piece. The problem is we'd rather import people than change anything that would make having and raising kids an affordable option for the average person.

    • It’s probably the least bad solution. Housing is unaffordable, services are tapped out, but the debt is getting paid (mostly).monNom
    • Boomers moving into retirement means the tax-base is drying up. Canada has to stop the bleeding, and immigration is helping over the long term.monNom

      so you were being overly dramatic? he's been at the helm for almost 10

    • He’s a minority govt, and he is extremely unpopular. Let’s agree that he’s a terrible prime minister.hotroddy
    • sure. but it has been 8 yrs. when is what you said going to happened?pango

    Just booked a 7 days trip to Montreal in may!
    Any food tips or places i should visit?

    • Best city in Canada AND best time of the year to see it / sink it in as everyone comes out of hibernation.ideaist
    • @ideaist i was also looking into June but the prices where insane for that month. Any tips?milfhunter
    • well, not the best time of the year, the city is often still dirty after winter, it take a long time for the city to clean everything in Spring.HAL9001
    • A lot of installations and summer stuff are not installed in May too.HAL9001
    • BUT yes, the vibe is nice, everyone is happy after the long months of Winter, so the vibe is cool.HAL9001
    • i could write you a list of things to do and food destination, dont have time now, but feel free to remind meHAL9001
    • @HAL awesome i'll ping you in a couple of weeks. :))milfhunter

    Just clicked on an ad because the branding looked interesting but had no idea what it was for.

    This just feels so wrong, I get all the points it’s trying to make and the benefits as well and it’s no different than anything else we eat but it just seems a bit fucked up.

    • And having said that, I’ve always wanted to try seal, muktuk too, but in a traditional setting up North, this commercialization seem unnatural_niko
