I'd argue the goal was to get Palantir more government data. As it was Palantir had a huge bureaucracy around data protection, now they have everything, and xAI will inevitably be bought by Palantir as a reward to Musk from Peter Thiel.

Nobody else in the future will be able to do the same, due to cyber security standards.

Carney was talking about using AI to implement a type of DOGE system on top of the tax cuts, is this DOGE coming soon at least?

Surely we care about interest payments on our debt, and the lack of productivity its been creating in our economy.

We can build a Canada where families can afford a home of their own to raise their kids.

We can build a Canada where seniors can find a place to live next to their grandkids.

We can build a Canada where the people who build our houses and work in our communities can afford to live in them.

Funny to sees this when the new housing minister says prices won't fall, because boomers need the money to retire.

Carney himself said the same thing, prices couldn't fall.

Its not the 8% annual money supply growth that is skyrocketing home values via the cantillon effect and devaluing your salary, its "capitalism".

The problem as far as I've read from Sam Cooper is the lack of policies like racketeering laws in Canada, thus we are used worldwide by criminal entities for laundering money. Which is likely the larger issue Trump has with drugs, and likely is a big reason how housing in Vancouver can be millions of dollars when the median salary is less than 70k.

Theres a long form interview here, Sam Cooper is a journalist who wrote Wilfull Blindness:
