Data confirm middle class Canadians, especially young families, have seen inflation eat away at their standard of living, Statistics Canada data showed yesterday. “Most workers have seen their purchasing power decline,” wrote the agency: “Wages and earnings have not kept pace.”

Communists like Justin don't care for your analysis, Professor Lee:

In efforts to reach net zero by 2050, Ottawa’s strategy to transform the workforce toward “sustainable jobs”—”green” jobs in a low-carbon economy—sparked extensive criticism from analysts due to its top-down approach and departure from traditional market-based economics.

On Feb. 17—the Friday before a long weekend and overshadowed by the verdict on the government’s use of the Emergencies Act—the feds released its interim Sustainable Jobs Plan for 2023 to 2025.

The government deems a job to be sustainable, if it is “compatible with Canada’s path to a net-zero emissions and climate resilient future.”

Carleton University business professor Ian Lee told The Epoch Times that, although he’s not opposed to decarbonizing the economy and thus not criticizing the intentions of Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, he has significant concerns about the feds’ approach. 

The “centralized planning described in the interim plan is a fundamentally different direction from what has been used to manage and develop western economies historically,” he said.

“This has been studied and studied and studied by an enormous number of people for a very long period of time. And the record of central planning has been miserable.”
