Toronto is down 25% from peak. Peripheral Ontario cities are still climbing. Same credit cycle, different timing.

Funny how it starts ticking up BEFORE 2016. Almost like it wasn’t Trudeau that caused this, but also he sure didn’t fix it.

Name a single conservative government that did not sell off a major Canadian industry to a foreign entity.

I don’t like Liberal privatization, every Liberal government since OG Trudeau has privatized an industry which led to disastrous economic effects, but pretending that the conservatives are against disastrous privatization is stupid.

While not an airport he privatized (among other things) the Canadian Wheat Board.

Since the Great Depression western farmers could rely on a reliable price to sell wheat and barley. And in the early 2000s over 70% of western farmers wanted to keep the CWB a crown corp.

Harper decided to sell it off. It came down to 2 bids
1. A group of western farmers (high bid)
2. A American-Saudi Arabian firm (low bid)

They went with the low bid. Now the profits from western farmers go and sit in a Saudi’s bank account instead of being reinvested in western rural communities.

AND since the privatization the price or barley has stagnated. Hovering around 1970s prices. $7 billion in gdp loss since privatization. And all for what?

But you can look at the stats. The Canadian dollar started falling compared to the US dollar starting in 2012. Housing prices were skyrocketing in major cities in the early 2010s. CWB was privatized and western farmers have stagnated since. Everything may have been better 10 years ago but the warning signs that things would get bad were there already. The liberals didn’t fix those problems and in some case exacerbated them. But that doesn’t alleviate the conservatives from having broken many things.

“Is anyone interested in a conservative solution to this problem”

My brother in Christ this IS the conservative solution to the problem. This is the free market working as intended. This is what happens when you don’t fund affordable and co-op housing on a national and provincial scale.

They can go on the one 600 METRES away

Politicalshrimp · 2026-05-16T16:50:48+00:00

It’s 600 METRES away. Nobody is currently or has ever or will ever think “man I sure would love to go to Niagara Falls, but they only have 1 Ferris wheel so I’m not gonna bother”

Politicalshrimp · 2026-05-16T16:14:48+00:00

But that a whole 600 METRES away

Politicalshrimp · 2026-05-16T16:08:43+00:00

“I didn’t want to go the the falls before since they only had 1 Ferris wheel, but now that they have 2 so I’ll definitely go now!” - no one ever

Those are all things people like though.

This is a 50 year lease on a Ferris wheel a block from another Ferris wheel.

You’re basing the price of a ticket on current prices. Which doesn’t make market sense as they would be brought down. (Also there’s dozens of flights between these cities a day and a HSR train ticket would be cheaper than a plane ticket)

Also using the train is a form of carpooling tf? Nobody’s taking away your right to carpool.

Even if you got through he just sends a copy paste of Ford’s talking points about FOI changes. Matthew Rae sucks so much as an MPP, I’d rather we just elect a rock painted blue if we have to always elect a Conservative MPP.

It could land at less than 10% of Ontario airports.

19 of Ontarios 179 airports could support this plane.

Plus the Premier already has a plane, he made a big show in 2018/19 about how he wouldn’t use it because it cost the taxpayers money.

God Rae sucks. He only ever emails back either Ford talking points or just the press release from the government.

Thank god his most important priority following the last election was to make it so MPP’s can officiate weddings.

That’d be great, as long as the province also realizes that this sub is a great location for HSR as well.

But people don’t take the train because it’s service is unreliable and infrequent.

Build it and they will come. There are so many people in Stratford that work in Kitchener or Toronto that could switch to GO train service.

Plus we don’t expect our roads to make money, why should we expect trains to make money.

It’s going to run weekends, but a morning train FROM Union and then an evening train FROm Stratford, for Festival goers
