It’s not surprising – quality over quantity, and Canada needs to be more selfish and put Canadians first.
If we did that, I’m sure we’ll be far ahead of Americans considering their frivolous spending on foreign wars… which is kind of scary how much money they have to throw away on such endeavours.

I mean, look at the sentiments here. If anyone wants to be productive, they get flooded with locusts trying to tax them into bankruptcy, to fund more government email jobs.

Everyone get productive and start sharpening your gilletteines.
(The political class’s refusal to lower the cost of living is why we are here and its not getting anybetter in our lifetime)

>The study conducted by right-wing think-tank the Fraser Institute finds Ontario ranks near the bottom of the Great Lakes region when it comes to GDP per person, a metric researchers use to evaluate economic prosperity.
Yeah, I’m not saying the data is wrong only that the source is a little sus.
>Researchers say they used GDP per capita as a measure for living standards, noting it reflects “overall per-person economic production” and is closely tied to “job creation and wage growth.”
PPP is also kind of an important metric too for measuring living standards too. GDP per capita can tell you the productivity of a given region while PPP will tell you about the average cost of living. There’s also no comparison of unemployment rates.

What about the true distribution of that wealth though? Typically will be more top 1% heavy in the US than Canada

Good. For voting the liberals back into power, you get what you voted for.
Also, ford is no “conservative”. He’s a blue liberal who is a Carney simp.

We’re taxed to death, red tape on everything. We can’t build or even be productive without months or year long consultations. Canadians are too much “NIMBY” and vote as such.

This is why all the Elbows Up rhetoric comes across so hollow and phony.

Massive brain drain unfortunately. Much of our top talent runs out the door here at the first opportunity they get down south

We’re taxed too damn much and too many of us aren’t productive members of society

Soon enough Mississippi will be above us, and we’ll be competing with Mexican states, but thats okay, because CBC says conservatives are mean.

Ontario has the second lowest total taxes in the Country behind BC .
On 100k net taxable income you would pay 21,182k and BC would be 20 503
Not just Ontario. Catch this week’s YouTube video by Patrick Boyle. There’s some interesting data about this country. And why that data is significant.

The whole of canada is falling behind the US and most other G7 countries in nearly every way.

Canada as a whole has fallen so far behind in the last 10 years on ALL fronts!
Someone please cite one instance where Canadians have made out better than they were pre-2015!
And NO increased welfare and inflationary vote-buying social assistance doesn’t count!
And „some“ people will vote for more of what got us into this mess in the first place!

Man the threads in this sub today are wild. Just an endless stream of negative news. Conservatives mad about yet another floor crossing?

The problem is Canadians keep comparing themselves to Americans.

There’s a massive brain drain.

Our premier is focused on beer and backseat governing Toronto instead of enhancing infrastructure, affordability and economic development across the province

Massive red tape on doing anything involving development. Not utilizing natural resources. Making manufacturing as difficult as possible in the province. Mass uneducated unqualified immigration. Huge wastes on reconciliation. Government inefficiency and some high taxes. lots of young people including myself are going south for better opportunities. Experience inflation in the job market making entry level positions require years of experience in your field kind of make it impossible to get a decent job too.

Of course we are, until people realize trump doesn’t run our country and we vote accordingly for the best candidate that’s all that’s required

We keep building on a economy thst is resources extraction just to shipping it out with no value, flooding the market with cheap labor to keep unemployment high, then except them to already have 5 years of experience to hire them for minimum wage. Those that can and that succeed are learning that there company would rather fail and loss talent to pay as little as possible, then pay them more to keep them, so they are leaving for better pay.

Ford is wasting all our tax money on losing court cases.
