Pierre Poilievre: The Economy Is About to Collapse! America Is Making a Huge Mistake!
Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre joins Steven Bartlett to argue that central bank money printing and government overreach are the root causes of Western economic decline.
The gist
-
Poilievre says governments increased Canada's money supply by 100% over 10 years while housing supply grew only 13%, pricing young people out of the market.
-
He argues Canada needs to nearly double home construction from 240,000 to 450,000 homes a year by cutting permit delays and making home-building tax-free.
-
Around 20,000 doctors and 32,000 nurses trained abroad are blocked from practicing in Canada because licensing approval takes 8 to 9 years.
-
Poilievre points to Singapore and Switzerland as evidence that low government spending and free enterprise produce wealth and low inflation more reliably than central planning.
