Vancouver Sun- Why Canadian Wages Never Seem To Go Up

Ottawa’s economic strategy is based on several “shaky pillars,” which include using “record immigration levels to turbo-charge population growth and housing demand in major cities,” Williams said.

“The political class appears to have lost interest in efforts to raise workers’ productivity and real wage growth through higher business investment per worker.”

Toronto-based analyst Stephen Punwasi says Canada is on its way to becoming the “next Greece,” referring to the way Greeks’ personal incomes tanked more than almost anywhere else after 2009 because of the housing-mortgage-ignited recession.

Took All Our Rights, Put Them In A Rights Museum

My body, my choice only applies to American women (and only American WOMEN, not women with penises) looking to get an abortion in Canada. #trudeauisaterf

Rupa Subramanya- India’s courts get it right on vaccine mandates — and Canada doesn’t

What is fascinating is that this extraordinary Supreme Court judgment in India is in the context of a Westminster system, a system originating in the United Kingdom but also, of course, shared by Canada. Unlike in the United States, with its tradition of activist courts that are not shy to push back against the executive or legislature, and are highly protective of constitutionally enshrined civil liberties, the Indian judicial system, like the British and Canadian systems, tends to exhibit a culture of deference to Parliament. While India’s Supreme Court has clearly circumscribed the extent to which the federal or state governments can impinge on individual rights in the interest of public health, it’s noteworthy that nothing comparable has occurred in Canada. This is striking, given the similarities between the two countries’ judicial systems.

Emphasis mine.

Half Way There

James Topp is now at the half way point in his march across Canada from B.C. to Ottawa. He is protesting the vaccine mandates and would like to talk to members of parliament about them. To date only 3 MP’s have shown any interest.

It’s day 75 of his march and he’s got another 2173 km to go. Walking 40-50 kilometers a day. He will be crossing over into Ontario sometime in the next few days.

A good podcast interview with him here from last night on the Shadoe Davis Show. 

Nice recap/slideshow of the first half of his journey here.
