Do Canadians realise that even if Carney helps boost the economy, Canada won't be a G8 nation, in future, unless our population grows dramatically? Canada GDP now: 9th In 2075, based on current growth: 19th (below Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Saudi Arabia) #cdnpoli #GDP #G8 #vanpoli #topoli

This is why CoV will always be behind on housing. Small cities are doing more progressive zoning work than cities in Metro Van, prioritising affordable & supportive housing. But to housing "experts" in Vancouver, it doesn't matter because they aren't Vancouver. #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre

Same sentiment applies in Canada. (There are over 100 billionaires in Canada, using Cdn$, or 76 using USD) #cdnpoli #yeg #yyc #TaxTheRich #sovereignwealthfund

The "creme de la creme" in the Arbutus corridor strike again. Approved by the previous Council in 2022 and supported by the Province. But Kitsilano NIMBYs have fought it at every step. Today, NIMBYs have won in CoV. #NIMBY #housingcrisis #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre

The climate crisis isn't only an environmental crisis. It's an economic/financial crisis. #ClimateCrisis #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCwildfire #BCflood

I saw this image today... It basically sums up the past 500 years of history. It is especially relevant when discussing Canada's mining industry. #cdnpoli #vanpoli #topoli

Trump is demanding 5% of GDP be spent on military, as Canada increases to 2%. Reminder: USA funded their interstate highway system as a "military expense." Canada could fund water, sewer, road, and rail projects, which are needed for housing, and call them military expenses. Be creative. #cdnpoli
