Can BC CPC borrow Wab Kinew for a little bit, please?

First Aboriginal Prime Minister of Canada.

Agreed. No need for counter-cyclical deficit spending.

A good leader wouldn't move at all until a real recession had been running long enough to matter.

Well there's a safe ivory tower take if I've ever seen one. Let them eat cake.

I honestly wouldnt be surprised to see if he made a run at federal LPC leadership one day. He doesnt seem to associate much with the federal NDP on account of them being a joke lol. That and the MB NDP tends to be more working class oriented and centrist than the federal NDP.

Looks like we are losing highly skilled immigrants we want to keep, gee its almost as if anti immigration rhetoric would make people feel unwelcome

Canada’s highly skilled immigrants are leaving the fastest: report

A new report casts doubt on whether Canada's immigration policy is able to retain the global talent required to bolster the economy on the home front.

From the article:

In a report released Tuesday titled “The Leaky Bucket 2025,” the ICC found that one-in-five immigrants leave Canada within 25 years of being accepted as permanent residents. The trend, referred to as “onward migration,” peaks at the five-year mark.

Im cool with that.

It's not an ivory tower take. I assume governments are inefficient, because I observe that their economic incentives are all misaligned relative to private enterprises. Governments can fail without much consequence to themselves or the individuals involved, they are not disciplined by prices or a bottom line. If they are inefficient, they are likely to do more harm than good when intervening; consequently, their default position should be non-intervention.

And where are they mostly choosing to go, I wonder.

I really don't care so long as while they are here they are net contributors and not drains on us.

You understand that it's informed by empirical observation, which is only possible in the real world?

These are NOT CDN citizens leaving, these are people who are Landed Immigrants, who if they fail to meet residency requirement over a 5yr period lose their ability to return to Canada.

I suspect that they are returning to China/India in large numbers.

You understand that it (post 4846) is almost completely unrelated to your climbing up to differentiate Harper's deficit?

You've tied this great little knot of cognitive dissonance where you've granted yourself the lofty placement of being personally able to judge and justify when intervention is warranted while being supposed steadfastly against intervention.

$1.4 Billion to CBC (There is a colossal waste of tax money)
$325 Million to CTV, Global, Toronto Star, Toronto Life, Cult MTL, etc.

I am sure there is no reason to believe that an anti-Poilievre bias exist.

They will launch more smear pieces against anyone else that succeeds Poilievre and starts to succeed (IF he doesn't survive the leadership review, big IF)

CBC, receiving more than a billion dollars a year from taxpayers, still doesn't allow for public feedback or public debate on any of their YouTube news episodes or programs...

They also went out of their way to hide from Parliament the revenue they actually do generate either thru their subscription services and advertising.

The head of CBC also gave herself and her senior colleagues a healthy annual bonus while at the same time laying off some pretty junior folks - and those healthy bonuses were ontop of very healthy salaries.

...

I personally have a problem with us funding the CBC to such an extent.

In my opinion, the levels of funding far surpass whatever benefit Canadian society still somehow gets from CBC

The CBC is NOT transparent about it's income or revenue being generated, they seem unapologetic to taxpayers for giving themselves bonuses while laying off those pesky peasants working at the bottom of the ladder, and their coverage of national level news is also unapologetically bias.

We should NOT be funding an organization that is so deliberately bias in favour of the governing party, and that misleads Canadians.

...

We should also NOT be sending a single dollar to CTV, Global, Toronto Star, Sun Media, etc

Are they public broadcasters? No.

They are large publically traded media corporations - they shouldn't be receiving hundreds of millions of public dollars annually.

It isn't a leap at all to assume their reporting of the news is influenced by the money they receive from government.

If they can't stand on their own 2 feet, then let them fall.

Having every single MSM outlet in the country quietly funded by the government is dangerous, and is intended to influence people's opinions to be what the government wants them to be.

(Does that money even include the subsidies they can & do apply for from other government sources, i.e Heritage Fund, etc?)

...

If people can't see how dangerous of a path Canada is on in regards to state-funded propaganda, they're blind to their own peril.

At $1.4B for CBC + $325M for the big media corporations = $1.725B just in media funding/subsidies...and that's just in this year's budget...

It's probably safe to assume similar amounts of money being spent next year, and the year after...not to mention the amount of money that has been spent since Trudeau introduced media subsidies a few years back.

...

Yes, Carney inherited an absolute mess from Trudeau. And yes, Carney isn't Trudeau.

But it was a mess he partially created by being Trudeau's economic advisor during the years the mess was created, so he isn't off the hook by any means.

And by continuing a lot of the same policies (which shouldn't surprise anyone since they were essentially his policies to begin with) he isn't taking us in a new direction at all.

We will be as economically competitive as when JT was in power, because it's the same damn policies.

Maybe at the end of his term, his economic genius will start to shine thru, and all of the accolades will turn out to be well deserved. Maybe...

But we are rapidly approaching the 1 year mark of Mr. Carney being in power, and so far he has yet to really accomplish jack shit except put us into substantially more debt for things we may benefit from in the future...maybe...somehow...



My 2 cents anyway, rant over

Oooookay.

Im still cool with it.

 

[Jarnhamar]

gee its almost as if anti immigration rhetoric would make people feel unwelcome

Anti-immigration rhetoric isn't mentioned once in the article.

What is mentioned is that "on ward migration" hasn't decreased in 40 years.

It looks like the professionals who are leaving, a 2:1 ratio for those with doctorates vs bachelor's degrees, are leaving because Canada isnt providing them enough opportunity to flourish.

More alarming are the statistics that show that individuals with a doctorate are more than twice as likely to move away from Canada than people with a bachelor’s degree. That number grows to three times as likely when immigrants face job prospects that don’t provide income growth.
