People want more money they need to support / get into the things that, ya know, make ####ing money. Wild concept, I know.

Post of the thread.
Yeah, things are expensive, but Canadians don't want opportunities to actually make money.
People in Vancouver oppose every industrial project ever proposed and somehow think they should be able to work as a barista and buy a detached home. Insane expectations.
The challenges of inflation and interest rates are real, but at the same time we've done everything possible to stall the engine of our economy, stagnated upward mobility, and halted growth and investment.
This is a country of 40M people that is situated next to the biggest economy on earth. It shouldn't be this way. We've definitley gone wrong with our economics.
