Unless we cut taxes and encouraged investment in Canada and grew GDP at a non-per capita level.

We were second last next to Luxembourg in the 38 countries of the OECD at per capita GDP growth since Trudeau took over.

In the end it doesn't matter to me what Canada does, I keep my investments outside of Canada, and I have more Bitcoin than I do Canadian assets due to my level of trust in our government.
