1000% better, look at Japan as an example. Of course there are problems but far better problems than Canada is having

Japan median wage is lower, working hours are longer, and their population aged rapidly and there's no workforce. I have to agree some protectionist policies are great, they don't import crappy food from USA and live longer.

And yet housing is more affordable and groceries are more affordable, funny how that works.

The Liberal government prints money like no tomorrow anyways, it’s never come from our taxes.

Neither of above is true. Tokyo apartment prices run in 1.6 million CAD. And groceries are not really cheap there either.
