The Perri Platform

We explore the latest developments regarding the establishment of a universal basic income (UBI) in Canada. The need for one given technological changes, balanced with the state of our existing federal finances, underpins the conversation.

Legacy media, including notable giants like the New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post and Canadian counterparts are facing an existential crisis. People have lost both interest and confidence in these channels which has produced an information vacuum. We explain why this was both predictable, and yet, a terrible outcome for us.

EP 309: Market Incentives and Our Behaviours by Marco Perri

Reports and studies clearly reveal a decline in living standard, driven by factors such as stagnating productivity, in Canada. Although not a unique phenomenon, creative solutions are required if we want to overcome these modern hurdles. We explore practical solutions that can get the ball rolling.

We explore the relationship between recent unrest (both globally and within our borders) and mob-based fallacies. As Canadians, we need to think clearly. Or, we risk the foundation that allows citizens to progress together.

A new study, based primarily on Statistics Canada data, seeks to find out if Canada is a fair country or if we’re plagued by systemic discrimination. We discuss the findings.

Canada’s top intelligence agency (the CSIS) confirms Canada is an easy target for malicious foreign actors. Political interference is viewed as a low-risk, high-reward endeavour and this leads to various poor outcomes for our country. We explore why leaders and politicians have yet to act despite clear evidence and briefings.

Internal support for Jagmeet Singh’s leadership of the federal NDP party begins to fall. We explore why the NDP continue to poll abysmally and how they have strayed far from their original mandate.

Critics (including Elon Musk) have gathered to condemn Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Government’s plan to further regulate online forms of expression including podcasts. This moves comes after the government’s misadventures with social media companies and how they display news in Canada (which is currently non-existent as a result of failed policymaking).

More ministers and high level government staffers continue to resign in the wake of Doug Ford’s Greenbelt scandal. We explore why we see such unreliable politicians across the spectrum. From the conservatives to the liberals to the NDP, we face a crisis for integrity.

Data reveals that life expectancy is either stagnating or declining across North America. There is one exception though. Quebec. We explore the reasons why they have managed to become the place with the highest life expectancy in our continent.

In 2021, over 27,000 vehicles were stolen in Ontario alone. In 2022, car theft grew astronomically in all provinces and it is now a billion dollar industry. We explore why this trend persists and the societal consequences of a failing police/judicial system.

Reports confirm the Ontario Conservative party, led by Doug Ford, were engaged in corrupt dealings when opening up the Greenbelt. Ontario Housing Minister Steve Clark has been formally found to have been in violation of the Member’s Integrity Act for his role in the situation. We explore the case and explain why Greenbelt regulations didn’t need to be dropped to address the housing crisis.

As the annual inflation rate in Canada cools to 2.8%, politicians begin to cheer and congratulate themselves. Is this going to provide relief to the average Canadian and is inflation over? We’ll explore the facts of the matter.

The Bill C-18 fallout continues to worsen. A lose-lose-lose situation has unfolded where the government, media companies and you will be impacted. Google and Meta have announced they would rather not host any Canadian news content instead of paying media outlets for the privilege. Trudeau then fires back with a warlike speech. We explore the matter and discuss the remedies.

RBC warns that high food prices will become the new normal in Canada as costs will likely never return to pre-pandemic levels. We discuss the reasons behind this predictions and how the average Canadian will be forced to adapt.

Xylazine, also known as the 'flesh-eating' drug erupts onto Canada’s illicit drug scene. As recorded instances of consumption increase, Canadians face an ever-growing drug emergency. Addiction continues to worsen and governments appear content to do nothing and remain hands-off.

Data reveals that Canada has officially entered a recession based on real per capita GDP. We explain what this means and how incompetent political leadership has led us here.

Developed nations across the globe are grappling with a pension crisis. There are more seniors and a reduced working tax base. We illustrate how this is a symptom of the larger aging-population crisis and how Canada is positioned well, relative to our counterparts.

We review the 2023 Canadian federal budget as presented by Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland. Notable spending includes dental, healthcare, Ukraine aid and more.
