As gold prices soar, some Yukon miners call territory's low royalty rate 'a bit ridiculous' | CBC News
In 2025, Yukon placer miners collected more than $449 million in gold revenue, while the Yukon government collected less than 1 per cent of that — or just over $33,300 — in gold royalties.

The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

This was exactly a Harper initiative too!!!
And the thing about taking a transactional approach to Canada's foreign policy is that there are other countries, other people on the other side of these transactions. And they will remember exactly how they were treated by a self-interested Canada.
Not exactly a smart way to build alliances.

It’s fascinating how Carney has managed to benefit from the perception that he’s the Smartest Person In the Room while also being treated like an ingenue.
Carney’s speech said, and didn’t say, exactly what he wanted it to say. His actions in power to date are fully consistent with his Davos speech.

The plan — grow the economy through (mostly) previously announced resource infrastructure projects, trade deals, cut government spending and and taxes, while increasing defence spending — are all things that any right-leaning government would approve of any time in the past 40 years.

Under an economist like Harper and a PE banker like Carney, the most productive members of Canada are our landlords. Maybe they’re mathing wrong?
Canada’s so-called productivity crisis isn’t about lazy workers—it’s about complacent executives, protected oligopolies, and metrics that reward speculation over real value. If being “productive” means enriching landlords and gutting public services, maybe we need to be less productive.
