Most people don't understand how interest rates, population growth, and immigration are related. Let's fix that with a quick thread. <thread> 🧵👇

My blood's boiling & you're about to feel the same way. It's 🇨🇦's international students. Not them, but the diabolical, complex, & unimaginal scheme to fuel 🇨🇦's growth. Here's how 🇨🇦 manufactured an exploitation machine & sold it as social good. <thread> 🧵👇

"Debt cancellation would not only relieve human suffering, it would also remind us that money is not ineffable, that these are human arrangements and that if democracy is going to mean anything, it is the ability to all agree to arrange things in a different way." —David Graeber

Oh David! @davidgraeber. They say only the good die young, but why did you have to be one of them? There's even more bullshit in the world now that you are no longer with us. It was a pleasure to know you, and it is a tragedy to say goodbye.

Canada's economy was the fastest growing in the G7, but it's almost all due to debt being taken out. This is parasitic growth created by flooding young people with cheap debt, to borrow from their future to pay for necessities today. #ToRe #VanRE

If we're being honest, 2020 is the perfect year to get rid of Daylight Saving Time. Just rip the band-aid off while we're all home confused as hell anyway

We defend publicly funded universal health, education, and social safety net, almost to the extreme. And yet we can’t seem to apply even a mild version of those principles to housing. It is indeed our Achilles heel.

It's never a bubble until it bursts. And then it's "everyone knew it was a bubble"
There's no Canadian real estate bubble, so shut your stupid faces.

Canadians generosity in a crisis is remarkable. That is why we are announcing the #Lebanon Matching Fund. Every donation made by Canadians to members of Canada’s Humanitarian Coalition between Aug 4 -24, Canada will match. canada.ca/beirut

Many Canadians will be replaced with technology this time around. #UniversalBasicIncome is how we make sure everybody benefits from this. #cdnpoli time.com/5876604/machines-jo…

Debt is future income used today. When governments extend more credit to young people to pay for necessities, they're not helping. They're saying let's divert your future income to pay for life today. These politicians are actively driving inequality. #UBI
