The long story short is that in nine years, over the lifetime of the Trudeau government, federal subsidies to business more than doubled through the introduction of over 100 new programs. Every Canadian went from paying just over $310 to businesses large and small to over $800 per year in 2023/24.
Mass immigration into a housing shortage is corporate welfare as well. Brookfield real estate does well, cheap labor depresses wages, higher corporate profits so stock valuations rise dramatically.
Yet I still see the complaint that high immigration + cheap labour is “CoMmUnIsM”.
