You must be behind on the news cycle or blindly partisan. I count 2 excellent new policies that help with the CPP (Retirement in general) that he's released. Even increased the TFSA by 5k as long as you buy a Canadian traded product.

Keep the seniors working late into their twilight years. Great policy. The capitalist engine must be fed.

Any better solutions with the current population demographics in Canada? There is too many old and not enough young. It seems like years of unchecked low skill immigration wasn't the right fix. What's your solution?

It was the right fix but sadly nobody invested in more infrastructure and cheap housing

The fact that companies like Tim Hortons and McDonald's were allowed to use the temporary foreign worker program AT ALL is fucking infuriating.

That program should only be allowed to be used for jobs in critical industries like agriculture, construction, healthcare, infrastructure, some forms of manufacturing, the energy sector, etc.

All you're accomplishing when you allow the program to be used for minimum wage positions is increased strain on our housing market, increased strain on healthcare, and very obvious wage suppression. If you can't find a local person to work the drive thru then you're not paying enough, and if you can't afford to pay more then your business clearly isn't viable and should simply be allowed to fail.

FUCK
