"Mark: You blew the immigration question today saying that caps would remain in place. Canadians think immigration has been too high it was not just TFWs and students. You need to call for a major review of immigration policy - we need one that will factor in housing unemployment GDP/capita (capital is key) and the environment. Under 250000/year PRs for [--] years. More people means more GHG emissions. You needs to distance yourself from the high levels under Trudeau"

"Well car assembled in the US will only have the parts taxed but the parts use aluminum and steel that might be taxed. So there are taxes upon taxes. Canada should effectively ban ALL raw aluminum exports or add a 50% export tax but not tariff parts imports to keep plants running here for domestic sales"

"The problem was NOT money printing. Read Paul Krugman and other economists. This inflation issue was in all G7 countries except Japan [----] saw deflation [----] was a combination of prices rebounding (particularly oil) plus problems like supply chain issues the shortage of shipping containers shortages of unskilled workers and a shift from services to goods. Carney assumed this would be like [----] when a huge amount of financial stimulus in the US and eleswhere did not lead to high inflation"

"A car is a necessity for most people in the US and Canada - particularly families with kids and a dog etc. People do not often live close to work or may even have to drive to get to transit or use car as part of their job. Most families want a basement back yard and garage. A lot of people spend far more than needed on a car - a base Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla would meet most people's needs with only 1-2 kids at most. A decent used car is even less money"

"It would get less use. that would be like Chicago's waterfront which is great but Central park is massive. Some like Jane Jacobs thought it too big. With one edge being water that edge would have the most crime - since fewer people would be around. If Central park was smaller but there were other parks scattered around the waterfront that would likely be optimal in terms of maximizing use but central park is big enough that it is an escape from the city and not just a large square with grass added"

"Canada needs friends and allies - we cannot have everyone as an enemy in an era of Trump waging a trade war. Essentially the worlds [--] biggest nations - US China and India are run by authoritarians or wannabe authoritarians who have no problem walking all over us. Carney will likely see what progress he can make and get a fresh start with each if possible before taking a harder line if they won't treat us better and fairly. The carrot before the stick. We are the 9th or 10th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP but other countries often ignore this"

"We have a cold climate. Our largest areas of farmland the Prairies are dry and have a short growing season. We have limited farmland in Ontario and to the east much of is is lost to sprawl or will be while other land has been exhansted. Food is relatively cheap and plentiful - but we have to import a lot of it in winter. You are not a very good analyst"

"Very diplomatic language. But the reality is that Putin ignored Trumps threats of more sanctions. The only way Putin will give up land is the threat of greater military support from the US and NATO - including air support and troops on the ground. The US did not hesitate to send in troops to Grenada Panama and other countries. Ukraine is NOT Vietnam Iraq or Afghanistan where the people were not willing to fight with the US (and its allies) to win. If the US will not even use air support here then when will it ever take on Russia or China "Speak softly and carry a big stick" was Teddy"

"He is not blaming immigrants. he is blaming big businesses that want to bring in lots of cheap workers and a federal government that keeps giving them what business wants. even though it is pushing down wages and pushing up unemployment as well as creating housing problems.
