Canada is launching a fund to boost its artificial intelligence sector and creating a new AI safety institute as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to…
Your comment is the same thing I’ve been hearing for YEARS, and we’ve yet to see any improvements. At some point I’m going to call bullshit.
There’s always some excuse why the government can’t just help people directly, and it always boils down to some long way version of trickle down. We’re sick of it. We need help NOW, FUCKING RIGHT NOW. we don’t care about the excuses and we no longer wanna be told we have to wait another few years for the “investment” to somehow get to us
I totally agree the money should be distributed now. But spending $500 billions doesn’t happen instantaneously, even if it gets allocated now and the first cheque is written tonight, you can’t just throw 2B per day and housing will magically appear. It should have happened 10 years ago, second best is today, but we got a measly 20B today instead of 100+ that would actually make sense.
Also nowhere in my comment am I talking about trickle down. If you read again, you’ll see I’m focusing on solving the problem via not just blindly throwing money at the problem, but doing things that actually make sense. You can’t just build 100 high rises in saskatoonand expect things will work out: utilities/internet, transport, groceries/restaurants, healthcare, education, entertainment, and many more things need to be swiftly and strategically added. Some people think they should come from private companies, I literally suggested nationalizing them through pension funds, at the end it doesn’t matter as long as they are all urgently added. Again, if having a roof over our heads was the only issue, you can solve it now by buying a mobile home and moving to Atlantics or the Territories.
