Better support for unions? Canada has much stronger unions than the US does. For example, unions can force all employees to join it, unlike in the states.

I don't mind workers striking in principle. It's the union's ability to form a monopoly, forcing workers to strike even if they disagree with it, that I take issue with. Workers should be allowed to opt out of unions.

A moment here, XEQT is traded, and is supposed to be close to the NAV under one condition; that the markets are opened. Since the US market, a 40%+ component, was closed yesterday, XEQT can’t be exactly close to NAV since the whole US portion of it can be traded more speculatively. Basically, the more the markets are closed, the more speculative XEQT will trade and follow the laws of demand and supply. Imagine a scenario where only Canadian markets are opened, then we get a news about a new lockdown. XEQT will trade down and deviate from NAV sharply because it will be trading based on the predictions for the next day for the markets as a whole. TLDR; XEQT is working as intended, cheers!

I mean if we hadn’t fucked the system by going all in on growth at all cost then people could afford to retire. Or if we hadn’t pumped our population so full of cheap labor to appease corporations there would be jobs. Our population would literally decline without rapid over immigration so how would there not be jobs? Even with our rapid immigration we still have shortages in jobs that matter (trades, doctors, nurses, teachers etc) all we didn’t prop up this growth was flood the market with low skilled labour who is forced to spend their merger earnings to survive artificially propping up GDP but at the same time ruining all our basic services, needs and causing rampant inflation in the housing market do to short supply (in areas where these low skilled labour who jobs are). I’m not blaming the people this is on the government and not just Trudeaus this started before him. The pursuit of growth to keep the Ponzi scheme going has fucked everything else. The podcasts and YouTube videos you refer to don’t take into account the mass expansion of a population that over burdens all infrastructure and services.

With respect to your comment about the BDC, that exemplifies a failing government innovation strategy. Piggybacking on the back of a (likely American) co-investor really shows how ineffective the BDC VC group is at stimulating start-up growth. The BDC should be the first one’s on the doorstep putting money into early stage companies to get them to the level where the can attract non-governmental funding. It has an artificially low cost of capital because it is partially subsidized by taxpayer dollars, whereas private VCs need to generate a substantially higher rate of return to justify the risk. BDC Capital needs to refocus its capital allocation to its seed funds and fill that gap.

100%. That's exactly how I would have structured their mandate. But as they themselves will tell you, this is where politics come into play. We all know the hit rate with seed and venture investments. All it takes is political opposition to put out to the press that "Incumbent government is burning your tax dollars in shitty investments". Politics and shortsighted voting is why nothing gets done here but I'll save that rant for a politics sub.

You do realize GDP growth doesn't have to come from population growth... Just because we grew in a regarded fashion doesn't mean that's how it should be done. A country can have a steady population but an increasing GDP because of productivity, new technology, more exports etc. I don't agree with the way we grew, but you're asking 2 different questions here.

Now you understand why Trump is so pissed at Canada for not contributing its fair share of 2% of gdp. But we can send 250$ to almost every Canadian and give a reprieve from the GST to everyone for two months. Tariffs will hurt Canadians hard. We must stop government from using our tax dollars as their marketing slush fund. Added to this, we need to stop paying OAS and GIS to rich people that have no income but still have millions in assets such as in TFSA and real estate and trust funds. Money needs to help the needy not the greedy.

> Maybe they're trying to jumpstart spending for the holiday season. I saw a different article that says it would be delayed until Dec 15, so if anything it would make consumers pull back and wait, which is bad for an economy. Also saw that stimulus checks will also be delayed for up to 6 months. Even if one thinks these are good ideas (i certainly don’t) them being delayed works against any claim of being a “jump start”

See yesterday’s thread about this. Trading and speculating in TFSA leaves you open to undesirable response from the tax authority. Doing such activity in RRSP is safer (not from an investing perspective, but from a tax investigation perspective)

Thanks for reminding me of TOI/LMN. I have completely forgotten about them and each is up about 120%! I am not an accountant I just identify the important metrics for each company I look at and buy strong companies with excellent management and typically a visionary leader. BN has all. Their metric is FFO which they keep increasing. I do keep an eye on revenues etc. but I have learned that FFO trumps all. AUM is another one that also keeps growing. I love how they invest for investors and also invest their own money in their own funds and keep generating fees. It's called putting your money where your mouth is. Many of the senior management are billionaires from their stock. I also like their perfect timing of entering the insurance market and how they invest the float in their own funds generating more fees. After that I use technicals to enter/exit the stock. I love trading BN due to its volatility although I'm now focusing on CCO as it's even more volatility and perhaps better future prospects. I have been able to generate much more profits with CCO vs BN. I like less volatile stocks for long term investments.

We’re a nation living on debt. , which is scary given per capita GDP is declining…where’s the money going to come from to reduce that debt. There’s no way a government so far in debt as Canada should be borrowing to fund social programs to the extent Canada does.

>That’s truthy, but not really true. Only because you seem to have decided that working class poor people don't count as one of the poorest groups among us (but they absolutely are). I agree with you, though, that you can be poor to such a degree that you cannot afford food at all, let alone pre-prepared meals. But minimum wage workers are far more likely to eat pre-prepared meals than higher middle class people (exceptions prove the rule). No matter how you slice it though, pre-prepared meals are more of a poor man's product, than a rich man's product (or even a well-off man's product). Edit: You commented then blocked me so I can't reply? How childish. You can't just gatekeep being poor like that and being poor is not a competition. Minimum wage households are ALSO poor even if there are people who are poorer. It's such a ridiculous argument to say someone isn't poor just because there's someone else poorer than them.

The big strike against TFSAs is probably that it's a vehicle that's up to the individual to open and contribute, it isn't like the employer matched RRSP plans. Most people will never open an investment account of their own volition, even if they have the money to do so.

That’s fair, though this is more of a question about rules around registered accounts.

Interest. When unsure for ETF, go to their website and there's usually a section about tax treatment. Also, if you want to have a rough idea logically speaking, ETF are trusts, and distribution from trusts keep the same nature as a the source of income for the trust, meaning if the trust earnings interest income from lending money and distributes it to you, the distribution will be considered interest income. Something can't magically become dividends. For a payment to be dividend, somewhere in the chain an entity must have paid corporate income tax on profits, whereas distributions that are considered interest payout pre-tax income. Dividend = payment from post-tax profit.

Do they *feel* higher?  Look into how they calculate the inflation rate and you would understand why this metric is bogus. A big one is rent: for example, *new* rents in my area have doubled in the past 5 years, but because the inflation rate includes *existing* rents too, the official increase is only 30% or so.  Same goes for home prices, which isn’t included in the inflation rate. Do you believe they are higher now?

I do realize that, the problem is that’s all our growth has been for years. We are now slowing down immigration (just seen a report they expect 4.9 million people to leave next year, they won’t also that is more than 10% of our population) so with less people gdp has no choice but to fall because we haven’t built up any form of industry to increase growth. Now if 10% of the population does leave maybe that eases rent prices, reduce the cost of ownership and people have more disposable income and we can spend more again. And GDP can rise after falling. We have fundamentally rigged the arrow to go up for gdp by using people, real gdp growth has been down for over a year I believe.

Happens every year anytime the US market is closed and TSX is open or vice versa. This also happens sometimes with dual listed stocks and CDRs/ ADRs . Also VEQT holds etfs on the TSX, XEQT holds a mix of TSX etfs and ITOT its biggest holding which is listed on NYSE which is why days like yesterday have a bigger impact on them. It will happen again next year and after that and on. It corrects itself and is a non event.

Well, do you think corporate taxes should be at 100% (i.e., tax away all of the profits corporations make)? If not, then why not, what's the benefit of having only 99% corporate taxes when we could have them at 100%?

It’s not just the fine, though (which you can also add to the money they lost from their failed bid for FH). The asset cap still does hamstring their growth potential to some degree, as much as they can try to find ways to work around it. They are likely to have tight regulatory oversight for the near to mid term future. Organic Canadian growth is good, but it’s probably an industry tailwind. I like TD, but despise management. Actually realizing how many things they have dropped the ball over the past 5 years (which is much more than just the AML and FH stuff) isn’t hopeful. Masrani has been treated far too lightly for a long time. I think it will take a decent size overhaul of their corporate culture to sort this out. I wouldn’t invest into something that has this many headwinds. Maybe check back later.

I daresay you're either in or on the edge of the lower Mainland, Golden Horseshoe, Vancouver Island, or Halifax. Hell doubling is an outlier even for high cost-of-living cities, new rents gone up about 40%-60% in most of those places since 2019.

No, I do not believe that corporate taxes should be at 100%. I don't know why you think that anyone who believes corporate taxes shouldn't be cut thinks that we should also be taxing corporations at unrealistically ludicrous levels. Do you also think that people who are against corporate welfare are also communists? Edit: Changed "hiked" to "cut"

Debt multiplies a money supply. For regular folk, it means buying a house. For government it means any public works. There's more nuance to it, but that starts getting into ideology and it seems like you want to avoid politics and I will respect that.

Fair enough. If you own 2K of Rogers by way of a Canadian ETF, and you hate them, is selling 2K short and reinvesting the proceed back into the index that risky? You have zero net exposure to Rogers now so I suppose if they double compared to the overall ETF you would have lost that gain, but your net holding would still be zero.

Perhaps you can enlighten me then and explain that this is correlation is not causation. If unions are so strong, then why have they been [declining since the 80s?](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2022011/article/00001-eng.htm) At the same time, corporate taxes have [declined half of where they were at the same time.](https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/corporate-tax-rate) So if you're proposing that unions are a prominent source of declining productivity, and *not* the empowerment of corporations, please explain why.

The original comment suggested lowering corporate taxes, and you dismissed the idea in a broad way by labeling it as "trickle-down economics," implying that it's flawed. However, unless you believe corporate profits should be taxed at 100%, you must agree that there’s some level of corporate taxation that is too high. The disagreement is simply about where that optimal rate lies -- whether it's 35%, 38%, 41%, or something else. Reasonable people can disagree on the precise number, but you’re framing anyone who thinks the top rate should be even 0.0001% lower than your preferred rate as fundamentally wrong, which seems unfair.

Debt does multiply the money supply but in exchange would that not mean that the cost of assets & goods increase? To your point, it’s definitely more nuanced but my confusion here is that we’re already functioning in a debt based monetary system, the government doesn’t seem to want to slow down spending in order to lower the debt, then why give this false illusion and act like taxes actually matter? Not saying taxes don’t but it sets a weird precedent. Not a political statement I’m just really looking at this from a logical lens but it’s a very complex topic altogether
