Positive feedback loops are how these cities got into the state they are now.

Drug problem... give them free drugs.

Illegal immigrant problem... make us a sanctuary city.

Homeless problem... make camping on city streets legal.

Felony stats up... make theft under $950 a misdemeanor.

People are depressed... give them anti-depressants.

People are in pain... give them stronger pain pills. --> loop back to the first issue

Joke all you want but disposable income is the biggest indicator of the economy. And there is nothing more disposable than hookers. (Services, not the hookers themselves).
When the economy is booming so are the hookers. When the hookers start complaining about not enough work... get ready for a downturn.

#5 - Canada was the world's fourth-largest primary aluminum producer following China (1), India (2), and Russia (3) as of 2020. (NRC)

#6 - By utilizing hydroelectricity and other technologies, Canadian aluminum producers have one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world compared to other large producers, with a world-leading average of 2 tons of CO2 equivalent per megatonne of production. (NRC, AAC)

#7 - As of 2020, Canadian aluminum miners had 10 active smelters: one in Kitimat, BC, and the other nine in Quebec. (NRC)

I think I found the issue. If Quebec started doing actual work their transfer payments would get cut back and they can't have that. They'd rather not work.
