‘Buy Canadian’ movement could add $10 billion annually to Canada’s economy, says BMO economist

The biggest problem with our country is the damn supply chains. We need to tear down the north south(CAN->US->CAN) supply chains we had in place until now and replace them with East->west supply chains. To get an aluminium can, we export raw aluminium and US makes cans and sends it back to us. They have been taking us for a ride. We get nothing in return. Hopefully Carney is able to incentivize industries which would let us move production back to Canada. Elbows up!

The assumption of 317,000 usd per home does not hold. Thats a very suburbian thought of ending homelessness. Its possible to build multi storey buildings housing more than 100-200 at roughly 20-36 million usd assuming units to be like a hotel room. For a million people, the number would be ~70 billion. If we move away from the hotel rooms to a bunk bed(like traditional homeless shelters usually are), the number would come down drastically to something like 21 billion. Its possible to end homelessness with the budget for jailing people. Its a choice,

In US you have to pay tax as well as pay extra for insurance. The insurance is not a full insurance as well. There is copay and a certain value below which insurance does not even start. Its a scam.

UBI is never going to come to the united states. Whats reasonably to going to happen is an uprising and the brutal suppression of it by the police state a la Tianenmen square style or even worse. US have done this against people of color multiple times in its history. This time others will join as well.
