So of I understand this correctly, that means there is very little the federal government can do besides use indirect levers to decrease cost, like:
- Further increase immigration to ensure there are enough workers to avoid labour cost from increasing.
- Keep driving inflation down so general costs don’t get worse.
- Resist calls for short term relief schemes which will increase prices by letting people spend more.
What else can be done at the federal level?
The big cost savings items all seem like they are Municipal and Provincial, like: getting rid of minimum parking requirements, deceasing per unit land costs, and allowing more units to be built in the communities people want to live in.
They really need to include the US too, they are the biggest meddlers. Manipulating our politicians so they can exploit our resources. And a lot of the discontent in Canada is funded by US political organizations.
Nobody or country should get a free pass, foreign interference from anyone is an attack on our country, we need to defend ourselves.
