    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Ford also wins because Chev and GMC are split, but when combined often the GM trucks outsell the F-150. In 2024 GM sold 883,463 Silverado and Sierra 1500s.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    You expect that the entire auto industry will change course and produce only EV/PHEVs in just 10 years? Who is going to be buying those cars, understanding that the price starts at about $50K CAD. Car Sales First Half 2025 Looking at the real numbers, the top sellers in all but he pick-up...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    I think a lot of the EV talk ignores the reality that manufacturers are discovering there isn't really enough cost savings in scaling up production to make them affordable, meaning customers aren't interested in EVs without massive subsidies. PHEVs start at $50K CAD, if you can actually find...

    Trust in our Institutions

    Who determines what is false? As soon as you start enforcing this sort of thing in politics, it will be turned into a weapon to silence opposition. Eg. "Mr. Speaker, will the Prime Minister explain where the missing $40M dollars has gone?" "Mr. Speaker, would the Honourable member from...

    Multi-Role Ships - Everything to Everybody

    Another key issue is, how long can they do the task. A warship can be at sea doing a lot of things for a long time, because it can RAS, and the humans onboard can maintain systems. I'm glad the BMD thing has been addressed, and has been acknowledged as a misinterpretation of the name of the...

    Cost of housing in Canada

    Depends on what you call "liveable". I had a 450 sq ft apartment at one time that had a full kitchen, and was perfect for a single person living alone. No wasted space, and everything a single person needed. That said, I wasn't paying a premium for the privilege of having no extra space. I...

    Cost of housing in Canada

    In fairness to the market, the government incentivized homes as investments through their policies, so it was a twonsoded effort to get us to this dysfunctional housing market.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    Then the fight should be to get development fees back to the right level, not a fight for handouts for pretending to fix a problem.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    Aren't property taxes and development fees specifically intended to pay for infrastructure? Shouldn't they be set at a rate that allows for that to happen, rather than begging for more money for housing from other levels of government?

    Cost of housing in Canada

    You're suggesting that, as if it isn't already what's happening... Under the current housing plan, the municipality doesn't get rewarded for giving a permit that will never be used. The municipalities want that changed, so they can get housing money for granting permits that won't result in...

    Cost of housing in Canada

    So... a government expecting concrete results in return for funding is a bad thing now, because Doug Ford is saying it? Municipalities have the ability to encourage home building, by tying permits to abbreviated timelines, and expecting builders to actually build, not just get a permit to...

    Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

    Those are not problems caused by WFH, those are problems caused by a culture that encourages withholding information, because information is power. I worked in offices just a few feet away from people who didn't pass on a single thing, because as long as they were the only one who could fix...

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    It needs to be weighed against the actual threat, and the cost/benefit of putting ships and personnel up there. We have presence up in the arctic via the Rangers, and the other CAF elements operating in the North all year. Sending a few ships up on occasion is a good use of resources, but...

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    Tell me you don't know what my job is, without telling me you know absolutely nothing. That you feel personally attacked enough to go after my occupation kind of lends credence to my position. MCDVS did good work, but they did what they could, when they could. Sending small cheap ships up north...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    As much as I have mostly liked PMMC, this is a weird about face for the #Elbowsup PM. Perhaps Europe wasn't as willing to deal with us as some had hoped. I'd rather look elsewhere, like Asia for partners. I imagine Japan and SK are more willing to work with us than France and Germany. Old...
