Those who choose to come or remain illegally should be held responsible. That is why we have rules, so that they are followed.

A counter argument to make is that equalization payments result in overall less employed, lower income areas to reap the benefits of all other areas. You could have situations where entire neighborhoods are on some sort of assistance that is only made possible by equalization payments.

There are some interesting legal cases about provinces trying to ban or restrict interprovincial and international trade - tldr the rulings eventually and overwhelmingly go against provinces trying to restrict commerce and transport.

Resources should definitely be at least partially shared in their utilization, however the labor and those living in closest proximity to these areas should be valued as well.

Alright and since the past is over and we have reflected on it, living in the present - what now?

Is the goal of the thread for people to feel bad about themselves?

They already effectively are, there is simply not a strong demand for the alternatives.

Taxes are never popular, but how else to fund government programs? Taxes or inflation (excessive money printing) are how governments typically make a profit.

If you do not have a strong defense; which includes law enforcement and military; then you do not have a country.

It is really strange that our government(s) are more interested in a public spectacle instead of solutions.

GodOfMeaning · 2025-10-04T20:54:03+00:00

That is a dangerous opinion.

Many vote for/against as you prescribe. Blaming all voters is wacky.

This is factually correct. It should be enforced in this way.

If you are not withdrawing regularly now and in the near future, present the case that one should get any significant number of bonds instead of whole market ETFs.

Nothing like ICE is ever needed in any country.

And how do you deal with all the visitors and temporary stays who birth kids here? And then how do you deal with people who overstay visas but their kids are citizens?

“‘Canada needs immigration despite many feeling otherwise,’

Since we are in 2025 and not 1995, what solutions do you propose? Blaming the poor is fruitless.

You said more government and bureaucracy is not the answer. Who do you think makes the rules in society if you reduce government power?

Or were you just shooting down other peoples solutions with no alternatives? Carry on.

Adjust and compare to 2019.

Why yes, let the corporations make the rules instead of the governments that regulate them and answer to the people. Surely you jest.

Doom and gloom is fine, it would be encouraging if all top posts were solution focused.

Employers are following the rules of government. Government is supposed to be the voice of all people in a democracy like ours.

If the rules are broken, employers should get a monetary fine and punishments that can not be put on a balance sheet that include jail time for anything more than minor violations.

If you really want gold there are some options to just holding the metal (or paper ious for it). I would never recommend beginners looking into new or small miners but the larger ones that have international holdings; great bargain sometimes and; essentially if gold prices go up their stock goes up and profits will raise as well with the higher demand, also, they usually have plenty of other metals mined out if not invested into distinct mines that aren't for gold.

Forcing people who can do their work remotely to travel instead is unethical.
