    “Born in the 90s, glorified slave, don’t own anything.”

    “BTW I am within top 5% earners in canada”

    Uh… Those dont add up.

    And if you want to be like those countries, its high taxes for everyone not just the richest like you suggested.

      You know what a house costs in Canada?

      And in Finland people proudly pay the tax because the system actually works and they have confidence in it

        Are you wanting to fix the housing prices, is that what you are looking for? I can tell you the exact causes of the problem (almost all due to governemnt) and the solutions. More government isnt the solution.

          Just copy Finland’s housing policy. They solved it and it involved government. Best country to live on the planet btw

            Gotcha, you have fallen into the trap of picking a team and agreeing with everything it says.

              I’ve lived there and will be permenantly relocating there. I guess I will be joining team Finland but I still disagree that I am “team left”.

              To me it sounds like you’ve just never personally experienced socialism working.

              Here’s another example of socialism working https://www.nbim.no/en/

              If you don’t understand what that large number means it is the savings account of the entire country thanks to the oil boom. No one in Norway has to ever worry about money, assuming the government continues doing their job correctly.

              Unlike Alberta, where I’m from, the people individually reaped the profits of the oil boom and we have fuck all to show for it. People spent the money on fancy toys like trucks. Those guys who used to make 300k a year, majority are broke now.

              Canada could have been the richest nation on the planet if we socialized our natural resource profits. We were in the same boat as Norway but only they came out rich, what do you think is the main difference?

                At this point it doenst really matter what I say or know, you are like most people that pick a team and then believe the are perfect. Mover there, whatever you want.

                    Are the edits about how every country has flaws and are not perfect but you like Finland best?
