Mr. Speaker, a couple of years ago, an Angus Reid survey for Cardus asked families about the number of children they wanted. The Canadian women surveyed wanted, on average, 2.2 children, coincidentally right around the replacement level. After that survey, the actual fertility rate in Canada hit an all-time low of 1.26 children, which means there is a gap between the desire and the outcome of almost one child per woman. For the first 15 years of this century, fertility rates in Canada held steady between about 1.5 and 1.6 births per woman but have dropped precipitously since 2015. The Angus Reid data confirms that people did not just become less interested in children after 2015. Financial concerns played a major role in their decision to have fewer children than desired.
It seems unsurprising that policies that put jobs and homes out of reach are forcing delayed family formation and leading to fewer kids. One of the many consequences of lower fertility rates is greater loneliness for seniors who do not have the same human contact with the shrinking next generation. A shifting population age distribution also makes social programs for the elderly harder to sustain.
All of us need to work together to rebuild an economy where it is easier for people to have kids.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v6j5xgclz7a7lzp3koyjrvpc/bafkreid47uljzdrt27hng4wqaejftid3c4mdpjaxksdge7vghjwvih73ai@jpeg)

If you are genuinely concerned about preventing another Holocaust, pressure your government to stop funding the one going on right now in Palestine. The hypocrisy is ridiculous.
Also, you were a horrible speaker.

People who suggest the Liberals and the NDP should merge:
Have they considered that the Liberals are overwhelmingly aligned with the Conservatives?
Maybe they should just merge.

In case anybody is interested in the Carney government's current position on the genocide in Gaza. TL;DR: it's weak and unacceptable.

You can't possibly be arguing that the people undergoing forced mass starvation and genocide ought to hold elections right now.
Where would you suggest they hold them? You don't think Israel would interfere (to keep Hamas in charge, by the way)?
Get real.

Well I'm not sure why I should take him at his word in the first place, but I digress.
While this all sounds wonderful, unless it is coupled with requirements for comprehensive rent control, it will do nothing but enrich housing developers.
I would far prefer government housing over private.

John Zerucelli, "corporate affairs executive" appointed as Secretary of State for Labour in a slap in the face to anyone in Canada who has ever worked a real job.
A media executive. As Sec of State for Labour. This is ridiculous. A clear signal of Carney's complete disregard for workers.
