Mass immigration lead to skyrocketing asset prices and rents. We did it to artificially depress wages when inflation caused a labor shortage, as per the Phillips curve, as the Bank of Canada was raising interest rates to cool the job market.

Now wages are way down due to capital shallowing and a cooled labor market with far more people, and housing is way up.

Capitalism, at this very late stage, is pricing everybody out of everything. Those rich guys ain't so smart if this is the plan they chose.

Because it's $45 for a 24 of Blue. If I want anything better quality it's even more expensive. 6 tall cans from the local micro-brewery comes to like $28. It's too damn expensive to drink these days, especially with cheap dispensaries on every corner now.

Former heavy drinker here. I quit a few years ago because I was tired of being hungover. Now any time I'm tempted to relapse my natural cheapness saves me. I can't believe how much money I'm saving.
