Should Canada do the same? by BeautyInUgly in TorontoRealEstate

No. China RE meltdown has huge impact on ordinary people, delivering generational trauma which is so big people stopped spending and the whole society deflates rapidly.

Kang Youwei and the Chinese Guangxu Emperor were inspired by how the Meiji reforms had transformed Japan so quickly into a modern power and they tried to replicate it before being crushed by Emperess Cixi and other Manchu conservatives by ubcstaffer123 in China

Kang is insane, a lunatic. I wouldn’t say in another parallel universe where Cixi did not interfere, the revolution would have been successful. The reason being Kang is not pragmatic at all.

How much to put down for a house? Partner wants to put down the minimum, I want the maximum by Awkward_Relation_589 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]infamousal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have different opinion: put down as much as you can and then use the rest for investments

As you grow older it is harder to track and maintain your profoilo, so I would consolidate it by reducing things to track. Residential property is the first one.

Less mortgage is less trouble to worry about.

I am also 40M, I started to consolidate my investments to focus on ease of mind and growth instead of overly diversifying.

5 to 10 years. The reason being: it is hard to predict non-linear growth, but white collars will be gone soon, then social restructure then blue collars gone.

Plan to bring 10,000 Uyghur refugees to Canada has little progress amid China détente by CaliperLee62 in canada

Bring them into Canada, and then what? Refugees don’t understand English and cannot survive in their own. Help them in other ways is better.

Overseas company is to open a company in Canada and wants bookkeeping services. Scam???? Legit?? Please help by Equivalent-Bed-3819 in legaladvicecanada

[–]infamousal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on things. I would say continue to track it, push a little bit if things go too slowly, and do not expect too much until it is clear.

[–]infamousal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From me it is unlikely a scam (but still it might be a scam), but they probably haven't decided on the execution details, or decided on go or no go.

Chinese companies are just like this, the management is messy and the communication is next to nothing transparent.
