A convenient excuse to not develop our resources, leading to massive losses in foreign investment into Canada. Why would anyone invest here when bureaucracy makes it impossible, why would they not invest in the US instead leaving them with higher wages and more economic growth as has been the case over the last 10 years?

We are last in the OECD for growth, as we import people into a housing and doctor shortage to hide it. This video has the graph at 2:40 if you want proof of that.

So you’re of the opinion that we should just say “fuck you” to indigenous people and their treaty rights, and just continue exploiting the resources of their ancestral lands that we invaded and violated their rights to all to make a quicker buck?

What do you think is going to happen, that indigenous people are just gonna say “nah” and purposely be a pain in the ass for the government? Cause if that’s what you think of them, which this thought process of “oh this just gets in the way of things” heavily implies, then perhaps that’s a you problem and not a problem of the government’s to respect and reconcile with the people it’s fucked over since Europeans and the likes stepped foot here.

None of that is true. Even the quickest of Google searches confirms you’re not being accurate.

Canada’s avg income: C$55600 (around US$ 40k)
Mississippi avg income: C$41600 (US$ 30k)

Canada’s avg income is comparable to California, Minnesota, or Virginia.

Stop getting your talking points from US owned conservative media. All they do is lie, and it makes you a liar by proxy.

Canada /does/ have issues, but none of them are things conservatives are capable of fixing. They’ll only make it worse, just like we’re seeing down south.

Ah sorry, it was median wages I was meant. Obviously averages are misleading and should generally be avoided when it comes to talking about net worth and salaries.
