I hate to laugh but you are right, that does seem to be happening. I just cant rationalize an answer that appeases everyone.

I just also feel that both side seems to be strawman’ing the other, so a discussion seems somewhat ridiculous every single time with no one agreeing on anything.

I’d argue the goal was to get Palantir more government data. As it was Palantir had a huge bureaucracy around data protection, now they have everything, and xAI will inevitably be bought by Palantir as a reward to Musk from Peter Thiel.

Nobody else in the future will be able to do the same, due to cyber security standards.

No it doesn’t, just curious. I could see a scenario where they want no segregation based on sex/gender/race/age/etc… since anyone can identify as they want.

Some people assume nefarious individuals would go into ladies change rooms, washrooms, or prisons.

Carney was talking about using AI to implement a type of DOGE system on top of the tax cuts, is this DOGE coming soon at least?

Surely we care about interest payments on our debt, and the lack of productivity its been creating in our economy.

There used to be a reserve requirement where this was partially true on a fractional basis, but they got rid of it if I’m not mistaken.

Musks end goal was DOGE, and to break down bureaucracy in order to feed Palantir the totality of government data.

He says affordable housing. Its attempting to manipulate the language, in their definition affordable housing is government rentals, not housing actually being affordable.

The NDP who wanted to import millions of people that don’t care about indigenous rights?

“Started” usually means a shovel in the ground. Its vaporware as its always been.

We can build a Canada where families can afford a home of their own to raise their kids.

We can build a Canada where seniors can find a place to live next to their grandkids.

We can build a Canada where the people who build our houses and work in our communities can afford to live in them.

Funny to sees this when the new housing minister says prices won’t fall, because boomers need the money to retire.

Carney himself said the same thing, prices couldn’t fall.

I knew when Trudeau raised capital gains taxes that it wouldn’t gather a single dime before it was revoked. In my opinion everything around Freeland’s letter and the capital gains hike was an orchestrated attempt to replace Trudeau.

Well I’m just speculating where this is going, that the US wants to control our legal system in exchange for tariff relief.

So capitalism leads to fascism, and its socialism we want; is that right?

Its not the 8% annual money supply growth that is skyrocketing home values via the cantillon effect and devaluing your salary, its “capitalism”.

The problem as far as I’ve read from Sam Cooper is the lack of policies like racketeering laws in Canada, thus we are used worldwide by criminal entities for laundering money. Which is likely the larger issue Trump has with drugs, and likely is a big reason how housing in Vancouver can be millions of dollars when the median salary is less than 70k.

Theres a long form interview here, Sam Cooper is a journalist who wrote Wilfull Blindness:
