Canada sits on unimaginable natural wealth, yet projects take over a decade to clear environmental assessments. We have effectively replaced resource development with 131,754 federal regulations, driving billions in capital and top talent out of the country. Are we willing to cut the red tape and finally build our future?
Canada is a rich country making its own people feel poor. The generation that built everything — the homes, the institutions, the wealth — is still sitting at the head of the table. The gates are warm and glowing. The inheritance is real. The problem is nobody's leaving anytime soon.
Canada is committing suicide in slow motion. A nation with infinite land has created a housing crisis that rivals ancient city-states. We're forcing young people to choose between homeownership and children, then wondering why they're fleeing to Texas. History repeats: the exodus from feudal Europe is happening again—except this time, we're doing it to ourselves.
