The fact of the matter is that most voters only want spending cuts for items that they consider non-essential. Of course, the definition of non-essential varies so widely that the preferences of each voting bloc pretty much creates a log jam effect whereby no significant spending cuts can ever be implemented.
The report, to be released Thursday by the C.D. Howe Institute, says the Carney government’s spending review will only include about one-third of all federal program spending and is expected to save no more than $22 billion by 2028-29. The think tank says that’s less than half the $50 billion in savings that are needed to return federal government coffers to “a fair and prudent path” that would see Ottawa’s debt-to-GDP ratio stop climbing.
My grandfather’s house, built in 1902, is still standing today despite having been built and later completely remodeled without any building permits at all. Yet statements like “You can’t construct a home without building permits” appear to ascribe metaphysical properties to legislative edicts; not having a building permit is treated as the equivalent of defying the law of gravity. In any case, the reason for skirting building inspection should be obvious: the moment you improve your property, your tax bill goes up.
The owners of a palatial home in West Vancouver, recently assessed at more than $6.7 million, have been ordered to demolish a building resembling a small residence and constructed without permits, at the back of their property.
“I can’t recall ever seeing a case like this,” West Vancouver District mayor Mark Sager told Global News in an interview Monday. “You can’t construct a home without building permits.”
Globe and Mail- Ottawa pressed to factor in 500,000 undocumented residents as it consults on immigration targets
Economists are urging the government to factor in the estimated 500,000 undocumented residents in Canada as it consults on its forthcoming immigration levels plan.
Blacklock’s- Immigration Rate Defies Cap
Immigration levels in the first third of the year outpaced Prime Minister Mark Carney promised cap on quotas. Figures released by the Department of Immigration for the first 120 days set a pace that would see nearly 400,000 new landed immigrants in 2025.

I guess most venture capital investors didn’t get the memo about how Canadians were supposed to invest in themselves now that economic relations with the US are strained.
Investors poured $2.9 billion into 254 Canadian VC deals in the first six months of 2025, marking a 26 per cent decline in dollars invested and a 22 per cent fall in deal count compared to the same period last year, the report released on Wednesday said. It was the lowest first-half total since 2020.

Jasmin Laine interviews Pete Hoekstra. The elbows up crowd are incapable of listening to what he has to say. Hopefully you’re different.
About 21 minutes in, Hoekstra politely explains that Canada is not special. Canadians may think they’re more important than everyone else in the world, but they’re merely one nation of many that the Trump Administration are now negotiating with.
IMO most Canadians have severe TDS. This a result of the anti-Trump / anti-American propaganda of the bought-and-paid-for legacy media, plus their own ignorance and arrogance. Throw into the mix an unhealthy dose of PVS (Permanent Victim Syndrome) and it is no surprise that Canadians think the way they do. I equate the Elbows Up Canadians to a diva that walks into a coffee shop or spa and treats everyone working there like third-class humans. Then they go around telling all of their friends what open minded, generous, kind people they are. Denial is much more than just a River in Egypt.

There’d be no hate at all – Canada’s so called anti hate network must have been sick the day that the Jewish man was beaten up in Montreal.
Canada must “source domestically for federal contracts,” Public Works Minister Joel Lightbound said yesterday after touring a British Columbia shipyard. He made no mention of outsourcing shipyard jobs to China through a billion-dollar contract currently under investigation by the Commons transport committee: ‘We’re creating a prosperous economy.’

USDA forecasts a massive US corn crop this year, with yield at a record high of 188.8 bushels per acre. Corn prices going down.
An amazing trend: in a generation (since 2000), US corn yield have increased ~45%. In two generations (since 1975), corn yields have almost doubled.
