Neo liberalism meaning free market solutions to problems?
Our loose monetary policy distorts lending and debases our salary, with the Federal government now literally buying half of all mortgage bonds. Housing can't be built due to sprawled zoning, huge developer taxes, and massive greenbelt. We have supply side economics so a decent cheese is 20$ a loaf.
Give me one area where Canada is a neo liberal hellscape like this article let's on. I'd argue we have the reverse, and Carneys free trade within Canada plan is barely scratching the surface of the problems we need to fix with government intervention.
We've even got a new housing minister that says housing prices shouldn't come down because its now an investment vehicle, after Trudeau essentially said the same thing, then you have to wonder why the poor are so much worse off.
Yes, yes, clearly we haven't given the rich enough power. If only we gave them more, then they'd solve all our problems! Let's abdicate our responsibility to each other even harder!
That'll surely fix things this time!
Do all the highest cost businesses not all have the largest government regulation?
Telecoms, housing, dairy and cheese, alcohol; even maple syrup is a cartel in Canada, its not normal that a tiny glass bottle should be so expensive.
