It’s the little things: I’ve spent the last couple of years slowly trying to put together a set of 1967 O-Pee-Chee baseball cards. Got a few more this week. My set is still only about 60% complete, but I did manage to get one complete page. Image
This is my favourite page. Mickey Mantle and a young Steve Carlton. If anyone needs a 1967 O-Pee-Chee Adolfo Phillips, let me know. I have about six of ‘em. He seems to be in every lot I trade for or buy. Image
The goal is to get every O-Pee-Chee baseball set ever produced in #ldnont. I’ve got 1977 complete and everything after. The 1970-76 sets are difficult because they’re really large sets, and 1965-69 are small sets but with limited print runs. There’s also sets from 1934 and 1937.
Needless to say I don’t think I’ll ever accomplish this goal, but I would like to see how close I can get.

1. Genuinely thrilled for these guys
2. It’s amazing how Kernkraft 400 is a universal sports thread.

Very short music nerd thread…
Here’s the original version of Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation. Despite how it’s played *everywhere*, I still absolutely love this song.

Somewhat well known is that Kernkraft 400 borrows heavily from an old Commodore 64 game called Lazy Jones. Specifically the track Stardust. So much so that Zombie Nation ended up having to pay royalties.

Was one of my fave games as a kid.

The federal @NDP released a "plan" today to lower rents... which has almost no content.

ndp.ca/news/jagmeet-s…
And there's a lot of things the feds could do to lower rents. Just this week the CMHC raised insurance rates on insurance on affordable, purpose-built rentals. This will raise rents! And @theJagmeetSingh and the @NDP didn't say a word about it.
Literally, the only opposition politician to bring up the issue of the CMHC raising the cost of building affordable purpose-built rentals was @ScottAAitchison of the Conservatives.

Affordable housing should be a top-tier issue for the NDP and they’re gifting it to the Tories.

This is absolutely eye-popping. Image
Who are "non-permanent residents"? The biggest cohort is international students.

Non-permanent resident refers to a person from another country with a usual place of residence in Canada and who has a work or study permit or who has claimed refugee status (asylum claimant).
Note that non-permanent residency is different than immigration, which is a form of permanent residency.

The federal government is forecasting that Real GDP growth will grow at approx 2% over the next few years.

The population is growing at faster than 2%...

So are they predicting that Real GDP/capita will fall through 2027?
Things haven't been so great for Canadian RGDP/capita as-is over the past few years, thanks to the pandemic.
Of course, we don't know what the federal government is forecasting for population growth, because they haven't updated any of their forecasts since they increase immigration targets in November.

So who knows what they're forecasting for RGDP/capita

Housing affordability is the #1 issue for anyone born after, say, 1985. 32% of Canadians rate the federal government’s performance as “terrible” on it, and another 34% rate it as “poor”.

When will the Feds take this issue seriously? Image
And there’s a whole lot the Feds could do on this, including:

- Tax reform, to incentivize affordable purpose-built rental
- An innovation program for housing construction
- Insurance program through CMHC for new building methods like mass timber (#1 barrier to building these)
- Increasing the size of the Federal Skilled Trades Program immigration stream
- Building student residences using a 1/3-1/3-1/3 funding model
- Better population projections, to help cities plan
- Announcing immigration targets with more than 1 year notice

Etc. etc.

Why do I talk so much about Ontario to Alberta migration, and not some other province?

Simple: The Ontario to Alberta pipeline dominated interprovincial migration patterns last year, and it isn't close. Here's every net migration pair over 2K last year.
Every time I post this data, I get some Ontario progressive saying "how could they move there, don't they know X, Y, Z about Alberta?"

Simple response: "Yep. They know all of that. And they'd still rather live in Alberta than Ontario."
Like in the US, this should be a wake-up call for progressives, as families have decided they either can't, or won't, make a go of it in our largest cities. That they've voted with their feet to go elsewhere.
