They'd have the billions in equalization payments I'd assume? I think it was around 4b last year.

Schools have larger class sizes, a lack of supplies, they've integrated mentally challenged people into standard grades which distrupts the entire class. School lunches is only the tip of the problem.

Is it a form problem?

I'd buy VCN.TO in your tfsa, to avoid withholding tax.

I'd do VO and VTI for RRSP, using IKBR for conversion to USD. Again to avoid withholding taxes, and to provide diversification.

Then your margin account do XAW.TO.

This is easy and avoids all the pitfulls of taxation while optimizing diversity. Though you can do some XEF.TO if you want more Europe exposure in your margin, since your RRSP is heavily into US and you want to keep it relatively balanced. Doing 5-10% KILO.TO for disaster risk can also be wise, as gold tends to spike when the stock market bailout comes in.

You should be able to use some form of symmetric encryption on a cloud storage.

You could even do restic backup to a cloud storage like Icedrive.

The government can just raise taxes instead of printing 40% additional money supply, to avoid these price spikes where we are then trying to attribute blame.

In the 70s they blamed unions for asking for higher wages when they debased the currency by moving to USD and then off the gold standard, its always externalized by the government to avoid blame. Here's a newspaper from the time of the union complaining about wage controls.

I also find it funny Tiff Macklem egging people on telling people to go and borrow, which is unheard of talk from a central bank, and then we miraculously had greedflation.

This transition to provincial services led to a 1951 [Indian Act] amendment that enabled the Province to provide services to Aboriginal people where none existed federally. Child protection was one of these areas. In 1951, twenty-nine Aboriginal children were in provincial care in British Columbia; by 1964, that number was 1,466. Aboriginal children, who had comprised only 1 percent of all children in care, came to make up just over 34 percent.[22]

Wow wild, seems they did it under the guise of protective services, as if those people lived in substandard conditions. It also looks like the residential schools had the same premise, where there were no schools in remote areas and every child HAD to go to a white mans school and learn English literacy. Pretty crazy to dress it up as child welfare.

It was a weird time with a lot of abuse to be remembered.

Projects like Bitcoin and Matrix are what's going to fix these countries, not a license.

This sounds really good, for a country that has been growing inflation adjusted per capita GDP the last decade that can afford it.

Canada just announced its increasing immigration for the elderly as well, from India and Pakistan. This party will do the same as its done the last decade, capital swallowing while overburdening our infrastructure and services.
