They really need to include the US too, they are the biggest meddlers. Manipulating our politicians so they can exploit our resources. And a lot of the discontent in Canada is funded by US political organizations.

Nobody or country should get a free pass, foreign interference from anyone is an attack on our country, we need to defend ourselves.

These type of arguments do not look at the big picture.

Stealing from big companies can sound noble if you only look at the theft itself. But when you take a step back and look at how the money flows, you will see that the company does just take the loss and do nothing. What actually happens is the company sees the theft as an additional cost, and includes those costs in the prices charged to everyone else. Resulting in the money to cover the theft coming from other customers.

So the net result of stealing from a big company, is stealing from ever other customer.

So of I understand this correctly, that means there is very little the federal government can do besides use indirect levers to decrease cost, like:

1. Further increase immigration to ensure there are enough workers to avoid labour cost from increasing.
2. Keep driving inflation down so general costs don’t get worse.
3. Resist calls for short term relief schemes which will increase prices by letting people spend more.

What else can be done at the federal level?

The big cost savings items all seem like they are Municipal and Provincial, like: getting rid of minimum parking requirements, deceasing per unit land costs, and allowing more units to be built in the communities people want to live in.

My understanding is this is not happening because of one time thing. What has gotten people upset is the ongoing and repetitive nature of it.

Just boosting a toot will not get you in trouble. It only happens after people have discussed with you multiple times that the person you are boosting is problematic, and you keep decide doing it anyways and keep helping that person evade blocks.

Socially it is no different than if you try to introduce an awful person to your friends. At first they will tell you that they did not like that person and to not bring them around. But if you ignore them and keep doing it anyways, you eventually put them in a position where the only way to avoid the awful person is to avoid you too.
