IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 13/04/2026If you are living in University-Rosedale (ON) Scarborough Southwest (ON) Terrebonne (QC) PLEASE vote NDP. Or Bloc. We need the Liberal - Conservative coalition as weak as possible. #cdnpoli 511
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 12/04/2026In case anybody missed Minister Anand's ridiculous both-sidesing statement on Israel's ethnic cleansing terrorism campaign in Lebanon. Is this really how we want to be represented as Canadians? 020
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 03/03/2026For what it's worth, the only acceptable statement from a Canadian political party on the Iran war so far has been from the NDP. The Green one was fine. #cdnpoli 220
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Some frightening rhetoric coming from the Liberal government on immigration. "The Minister of Immigration is doing a great job getting rid of immigrants. Immigrants are always welcome." #cdnpoli 000
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 22/02/2026This comment was posted under a TikTok of a Latino man crying because his coworkers were making jokes about having ICE arrest people at his workplace. 000
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 26/01/2026I think a better headline would be "IDF soldiers murder children collecting firewood." 010
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Check out this weird-ass statement from MP Garnett Genuis... yuck! #cdnpoli 011

IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 10/06/2025@gregfergus.bsky.social 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. 010
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 10/06/2025People 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. #cdnpoli 000
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Carney government will ban protesting at university campuses. This is Trump stuff. #cdnpoli 230
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 03/06/2025In case anybody is interested in the Carney government's current position on the genocide in Gaza. TL;DR: it's weak and unacceptable. #cdnpoli 341
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 03/06/2025You 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. 110
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Got a residential school denier to block, friends! @newelizabethan.bsky.social 111

IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Highly recommend blocking @savingdemocracy101.bsky.social for these genuinely insane and unacceptably cruel posts. #cdnpoli 210
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Tory deputy leader Melissa Lantsman calls new Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand a member of the “Hamas wing” of the LPC. Why? She said starvation should not be used as a weapon of war. In a just world this would be prosecuted as hate speech and defamation. #cdnpoli #NakbaDay 161

IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 13/05/2025Well 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. 100
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 13/05/2025John 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. #cdnpoli 021
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 04/05/2025This is clearly AI generated. @gandersocial.bsky.social why 011
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 04/05/2025Just wondering, will all #GanderSocial posts require maple syrup making and flannel selfies in the snow? Also is this photo AI, if so BOOOOO 000
IF @mapleleafsfan.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Quite a costly "troll." I don't want my government to waste money "trolling" a crazy man with nukes. 000

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)
