Bad news for young people: Interest rates could go up for decades (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mortgage rates are rising in Canada, which is unwelcome news for young homebuyers. While many of the factors driving the recent increase are temporary, higher interest rates are more likely than not to be the norm for decades, widening generational inequality. The recent rise is not unique to Canada, as global interest rates have spiked in recent weeks, with U.S. 30-year mortgage rates now exceeding 7 per cent and the yield on a 10-year U.S. government bond recently breaking the 5.2-per-cent bar
Canada should lower pointless tariffs on goods from countries other than the U.S. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Canada finds itself in a trade war with the United States that it did not ask for and although Canadians overwhelmingly recognize and support the need for countervailing tariffs, those levies will make life less affordable for Canadians.

Imagine what Canada might look like if the federal government took the Charter right that “every citizen of Canada has the right to vote” literally, and extended voting rights to everyone under 18. Of course, the concept of children voting cannot be taken too literally. A Can
Tobi Lutke’s idea that pensioners be excluded from voting is offensive. The concern behind it isn’t (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Canada’s most controversial tech titan, Shopify co-founder Tobi Lutke, recently made waves on X when he suggested that pensioners should, like the underaged, be excluded from voting, as they no longer have a stake in the economy. Voting, he said, should be limited to those “with a stake in the future.” Like the vast majority of X users, I find the idea of disenfranchising retirees highly objectionable. Canadians, however, should be concerned that demographic and social trends are changing our po
