MPs want to know how a mobile app’s costs grew out of control. An abandoned house on an Ontario First Nation is an important stop in the search for answers

The house at 55 Vimy Ridge Rd., a 90-minute drive northeast of Toronto in the Alderville First Nation, has seen better days. The wooden front steps are broken, a basketball-sized wasp nest hangs from its roof, and debris – gas cans, a fridge, furniture and rusting metal – litters the backyard.

Passersby would never guess that the property is connected to a business that has received more than $100-million in federal spending. In corporate records, the home is the registered address for David Yeo, a former soldier who is now an entrepreneur and the founder of Dalian Enterprises Inc., one of the companies at the centre of a growing controversy over government contracting related to the ArriveCan mobile app.

Canada’s lagging economic and productivity performance is no secret. Various articles in The Hub have highlighted it, most recently one by Sean Speer and Taylor Jackson. “At the heart of Canada’s economic malaise,” they correctly noted, “is low productivity growth.”

“Far too many young people, particularly millennials, and Gen Z, don’t feel like the system works for them anymore, even if they have a great job,” he said. “They are squeezed on housing, they’re squeezed on rent, they can’t save up for buying a home, they’re pressed on groceries, they’re seeing a world where climate change is getting worse and worse. They’re worried about their future and government has a role in making sure that there is fairness for them.”

Blaming others for his mistakes is not impatience, it’s par for the course.

We should encourage this impatience as blaming others for the housing, immigration & affordability crisis Justin himself created proves he’s a liar without care for the impact his lunatic policies have on ordinary Canadians.
