    Bad news for young people: Interest rates could go up for decades (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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)

    Excerpt · English

    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. One solution Prime Minister Mark Carney could use to counter this loss of affordability and signal support for global trade is to eliminate selected tariffs on goods originating outside the United States. Governments use tariffs to raise revenue and help domesti

    How would Canada change if we granted voting rights to children? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It might sound far-fetched, but let’s imagine for a moment that Canada granted voting rights to the roughly seven million children in this country. How would that change our politics, our household finances and our economy? 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)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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.
