    We really have to be taxing the hell out of the rich like we did in the “make Canada great again” days, if we want a cushion for this crash.

      Yeah, this.

      A crash isn’t a bad thing if you can build a firewall against profiteering. Governments could buy property, instead of allowing the wealthy to, and governments could force the rich to take a haircut and/or tax the hell out them and then spend our way out of recession.

      It won’t happen, but it isn’t impossible or even improbable.
