The heat pump retrofits are good policy.

Loving the supports for Canadian cultural institutions.

Major projects I would give a B grade, a mixed bag.

I like the homelessness targets, this needs to come from Federal government - executed by municipal and non profit agencies. Disappointed that dollars don't start until next year. (Although something in Winnipeg is kicking off soon I understand)

    The main thing corporations were hollering for was increased immigration to drive wages down and this decidedly did not deliver that, so I don't understand where the headline is coming from at all tbh.

    No one was surprised that someone linked to a podcast and then people blindly upvoted the headline without listening to the content or discerning whether or not the headline had merit?

    Yeah, sounds about right.

    45 upvotes? Lmfao, there's not a chance in hell 45 people have listened to that half hour podcast and then upvoted the link.

    Stop blindly upvoting headlines people.
