    Good to see Carney is holding the line. But will he keep/bulid off of the energy Trudeau used?

      The energy of “no business case” for alternatives export markets like Germany or Japan? Given he worked in the ESG department of Brookfield I’d garner that he will continue that legacy.

      Who needs a funded social safety net, we can simply borrow billions more, and further fuel home prices to artificially grow GDP by eating the poor.

          Okay I mean they are simply citing what someone else openly said in the video they linked. You can come to some opinion yourself I assume; as to whether we want foreigners to rent our own housing stock back to us, due to a mass immigration scheme that pushed prices out of reach?
