Since Canada’s’ population is overwhelmingly concentrated in a few large cities, the odds of a Trump Uprising there seem remote.
She lives in Toronto and shares their far-left views. People like her are exactly why Brexit and Trump occurred.
How can she speak on what rural people should get, when those are PRECISELY the reason they don’t live in the big city in the first place??? In those regions, they strongly oppose “green” energy - and her response is to double down?
“Are the executives at major firms really going to tell some of their most valuable employees that they’re moving locations to a less expensive area where they might be the only visible minority in a crowd? Or where they might not find a Pride event?”
Yes
Toronto does not have a “decrepit subway system.” The author should visit New York City some time.
“Cities don’t win the presence of major employers because they’re socially or democratically liberal. They win major employers because they’re better places to live, and better places to live tend to be socially progressive.”
fourth most livable city???? I would love to see the research variables on that study.
Take it from someone who lived there his whole life, Toronto is traffic choked, transit dysfunctional, overtaxed, permanently under construction and loaded with thousands of empty condos bought by the Chinese elite. It has been ruled by insane liberals for decades and the waste is unreal. You literally cannot own a simple townhouse in the city for under 1 million.
Ah, but when the inevitable Depression or war comes and destroys the urban infrastructure, those in the cities suffer and die in much greater numbers. You can live without museums and the opera as long as you have your own food and water.
Its all about government power and our printed, fiat currencies and money supply that are centrally-planned by central banks.
This occurs in every and all cases of bureaucratic control of a commodity - whether rice, or money, or autos. The connected and powerful will get the goods when they are valuable, while everyone else goes without.
We may have reached a point in America to where cities above 250,000 and the rest of the nation, less urban and more rural separate, not just in culture, education but also finance.
Let the cities finance themselves and let rural areas finale themselves.
Tax money taken from the people in rural areas wold go to services in rural areas.
Big cities like, New York, Houston,, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Jose, San Francisco and Austin would also keep their tax dollars and keep their culture.
Dogs don't "win" fleas because the dogs like it, it's because the fleas do.
In general cost ultimately indicates total energy consumption. People that live in the exburbs consume far less total energy and create far less pollution than city slickers. Concrete and steel cliff dwelling is a relatively recent invention, and a crime against nature. A traditional country lifestyle combined with modern high speed internet is a superior quality of life than living in a polluted, crime infested, concentration camp. In addition to being terrorist targets, big city communes are disease distribution centers. People that grow up in a big city are shorter and less healthy than their country cousins.
Why? Because the laundered Chinese money pouring into Toronto real property market
I think that the author has no abikity to create things of value, so therefore must live in a liberal envirinment where others can pay her to produce verbal drivel and she can imagine that she is a productive member of society.
It might pain her to realize that the garbage collectors pruduce more value for city dwellers than she does.
Lot choose the well-watered plain; close to Sodom & Gomorrah.
Genesis 13:10-12
Agricultural areas have been losing population for a long time.
Nothing new there and it's not the result of some recent policy change.
