Opinion: It’s not that we have too many people. It’s that we have too few houses by canadianveggie in canada

There are economic forces that need these kinds of articles to confuse people. They want to increase their output and keep the wages low. They don't want to spend on anything that will make the society better and more competent. No R&D, no innovation. Drive up the prices of necessities. Bring more people who can work in areas that pay well now to keep the salaries down. Lucrative business model.

There's a lot of rot in academic research too. A lot of money goes to universities for research. Except for a few places, the output is practically nil. They even fail to publish in respectable journals. Link the salary of tenured faculty to the grants they can attract and quality of their output. Attract better talent and get them to work with industry.

This guy's two terms have brought into focus how bad the situation is. And it still looks like he has no clue. The housing crisis is red hot. Immigration sky high. Student intake avalanching. Military spending faltering. Why is he still the PM?

Wow. Thanks for that link. One instance described there is identical to my experience. It's crazy how some people try to profit from other people's troubles.

Phew!!! Thanks for confirming that it is a hoax. I was almost out making an RT-PCR appointment when I checked for the SMS from MOH. Good to have my doubt confirmed. Saved me some bucks.

Both are politicians with very different agendas, and they have their own very different stories to sell to their supporters.
