I trust that our significantly different styles of speaking and stances clears up any confusion pretty quickly.

It's not the same old Liberal government.
Also: the old Fiday before a long weekend story dump trick.
Liberals "accidentally" deleted a privacy provision in the online streaming bill, despite "many levels of verification".
The same bill experts were so concerned about over privacy.

Looks like back in 2023 a coordinating amendment in a subsequent bill was misnumbered, resulting in the wrong section getting replaced. An embarassing oops that seems to have gone unnoticed for a couple years, but also easily fixed.
of course. Just as there was a market at one time for coal furnaces. The immigration community was an obvious market. With 500000 new bodies a year it was a guaranteed winner: they had to have a place to live. But the profit on a basic home is a lot smaller than the profit on the same home upscaled or the potential profits from not-so savvy investors and the developers gambled on the folks with the deeper pockets staying in play. And it was always a gamble. That market depended upon income stability, interest rate stability and the Air BnB fad. As I said, they guessed wrong and chased the wrong market. It may have been the right one at the time but as you have said things changed and they were already committed.

It’s still a dumb screwup that someone in a position of accountability (probably at DOJ?) should get fired for, and this should be fixed at the earliest opportunity once Parliament resumes. Current government doesn’t own the error but it does own a prompt fix. My best guess is they plop it into the budget bill.Ah thanks for catching that. I assumed it was the new guy.

Canada just broke an emigration record with more people leaving the country than ever before
Half of the departures are from one province! 😳

BC looking at Ontario be like...
Playing with the data table a bit and pulling the reference period back to Q1 2015, the actual figures are overall higher now (probably mostly tracking overall population growth), but not by a great degree compared to pre-COVID. Across the whole time period, net immigration still remains well above net emigration. It looks like Ontario has always had a pretty steady outflow. So I’m not seeing anything really wild in this- some uptick, but that may also reflect boomers retiring and emigrating. But that’s said this is all off a phone screen, not spreadsheet ing it and playing with the stats, smoothing, mathematically comparing to population growth etc.Sobering -

An interesting bit I noticed is the rows farther down about non-permanent residents. It looks like Ontario (and Canada as a whole) now has a significant net outflow in non-permanent residents; foreign study and work permits, asylum or refugee claimants etc. This reversal from a net flow to net outflow only crossed over late last year and is growing. I’m curious how that breaks down across eg students, work permits, and refugees claimants. Anecdotally, still/again being a student, I’m seeing a lot of talk of people having a harder time getting study permits. I think the policy changes around foreign students are having an impact. It’s also a huge financial hit to schools but that’s a separate discussion.
StatCan provides absolutely fantastic datasets. It really is an underappreciated department.

I get it on not wanting to support PP. In fact, if PP goes against your interest, I would say to anyone don't be foolish and vote for him.
I am relieved to hear your non-partisan views.
I know you doubt me but the NDP may pull off a surprise and give us another Jack Layton or Ed Broadbent type leader. Which brings anglo-canadians back to l;egit 3 party options.

Except IIRC you stated you were voting PPC to hurt the CPC, not because you believed in their platform.

How dare you fail the voter purity test. Voting in accordance with your conscience, current events, and available talent is heresy.
Thou shalt only vote for one party, and the number of parties you can vote for shall be one

Altair claims non-partisanship based on voting record but in the past (IIRC) votes directly LPC or declared votes strategically to help LPC.

Understood. Thank you for the clarification.
That is basically just situational voting, true of many Canadians who more often than not vote against a party rather than for a party.. Not a sign of partisanship.
Case in point - I have voted Mulroney, Martin, Broadbent, Harper, Trudeau and was set to hold my nose and vote PP last go around until the campaign got started....
