I do not understand how a room full of supposedly up and coming, intelligent, well(er) off than Trudeau's version of the middle class paying a $750 annual/entrance fee will continue to cast votes for this Liberal regime.

What!? Are Not All Canadian Houses and Real Estate Purchased (By Foreign Buyers) With Well-Earned, After-Tax, Clean Money?
Sarcasm aside, it is about time Canadians wake up to what is happening under their noses. and realize that despite all the complaining from potential buyers, government measures, increased taxes on foreign buyers, mortgage changes and FINTRAC regulations to ease real estate and housing price inflation - IT IS OUR OWN PROBLEM that Canadians have IMPORTED due to a lack of restrictions between domestic and foreign buyers as well as a lack of checks and balances on where those funds are sourced (not just geographically, but legally versus illegally).

"...Toronto’s housing market has become a target for money laundering or “snow washing,” thanks to anonymous property ownership, weak regulation and lax enforcement, according to a new study.
Since 2008, $28.4 billion worth of housing was acquired in the Toronto region largely through private entities where owners can remain anonymous, according to a report released Thursday by Transparency International Canada, Canadians for Tax Fairness and Publish What You Pay Canada.
In that period, $9.8 billion of housing was bought by companies through cash purchases, largely bypassing anti-money laundering checks on fund sources and beneficial owners, according to the study, which analyzed more than 1.4 million residential sales dating back to 2008..."

Surprise, Surprise! A Federal Budget For Everyone! Spend, Spend, Spend! More Debt, More Debt, More Debt!
More taxes to come down the road to pay for all of this. It makes striving to be a teacher or a governemnt worker looking like the only way to "get ahead" in Trudeau terminology with a decent pension at the end of the day rathter being in the private sector and being taxed to pay for Canada's largest employer - Canadian Government.

"Trade Wars: A New Dope" - Trudeau Now Using Canada's Military History In Response to US Tariffs and "Security Threat"; Stoke the Patriotic Fires Now Justin, But Still No Substance in Your Arguments

http://business.financialpost.com/opinion/trudeau-after-bungling-it-on-trade-and-pipelines-needs-better-advice-fast#comments-area
"..If Canada’s negotiators want to do what’s best for Canada, they should stop posturing before they do more damage to our industries. For starters, they should stop misrepresenting the U.S. position on steel and aluminum tariffs. The U.S. never claimed that Canada represents a national security threat, as Trudeau keeps repeating. To the contrary, the U.S. has specifically said these tariffs are not aimed at any one country: without tariffs to protect American steel and aluminum from foreign suppliers, these industries, which America needs for national defence, would go bankrupt..."
.
"...A decade ago, Canada had a US$78 billion trade surplus with the U.S. That surplus was more than halved to US$32 billion five years ago and it was halved again to US$17 billion last year. Five years from now, our ever-shrinking surplus with the U.S. may start to become an ever-growing deficit, particularly since the U.S. has blown past us as a producer of energy — our main exports to the U.S. We are not only at risk of losing this financial mainstay, with the U.S. no longer needing us for energy security, we are also at risk of becoming strategically unimportant..."

Look Out Below!!! CAD $0.77...And Falling
With NDP governments in B.C., Alberta and now possibly Ontario (yikes), combined with a deadbeat, unenforcing federal government that continues to sit on its (legal) hands when it comes to pipelines, still-to-be-completed NAFTA and illegal entry crisis into Canada from the USA by the thousands, the world financial markets are starting to wake up to the economic and taxation disaster that is and will be happening in Canada.
Goodbye Mexican vacations, will see you maybe in the next election...

As if A Lack of Action on A Pipeline Expansion and an Uncertain NAFTA Agreement Are Not Enough, Canadian CEOs Are Waking Up to Additional Liberal Taxes: Whose Interests Do Justin, Morneau and the Invisible Jim Carr Have?
"....The chief executive of a large Canadian company said he was at a Vancouver board of trade dinner this week.
“The level of foreign investment has never been so low and continues to fall off a cliff. There is a real, genuine, honest, non-partisan concern that Canada is so completely out of touch with the real world,” he said..."

Dude, Where's Jim Carr? Liberals Doing A Commendable Job Of Keeping Canada's Resources Landlocked And Worthless
It's official, 1) Justin and his merry band of Liberals have just shown who their "favourite child (province)" is as well as 2) provinces can now over-ride the Government of Canada on Federal Issues. I'm tired of paying Federal tax - can the province throw that out the window too? Oh wait, Kathleen receives $20 Billion to $25 Billion from the feds annually.
After having APPROVED the pipeline and previously making comments about "military" clearing the way if warranted (later "apologizing" - a lot of apologies in this Liberal government), where oh where is Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr these days?
