An ex-gf once did cocaine off an RCMP officers breast at a party in Montreal, so the idea that they don't use drugs because "policy" is such a damn joke.

Historically, what made countries great was their ability to provide rising standards of living to its citizens. That often results in large gold reserves and military might, but plenty of places with gold and bullets were bad places to live.
But the rich wasn't us to believe those metrics, so we can ignore how living standards are dropping, indicating that Capitalism has failed to provide a better lifestyle.
And what's really fun is that despite the housing crisis, many home builders outside the big-3 city areas are running slow right now because regular people can't qualify for housing. I've only been working 5-12 days a month for the last year, between a shortage of framers (many moved to Ontario in 2021 due to work slowing), shortage of materials, and now interest rates killing purchases.
We're so fucked, and anyone in a position to fix things just refuses to. If you build public housing, prices drop and you get voted out by angry house owners. Don't build houses, and both homelessness and living standards get so much worse, and you get voted out by angry poor folks.
I mean, I've been on percentages for pretty much my entire life. It's worked out just fine.
That's good politics works. The guy in charge openly washed his hands of the problem and doesn't seem to have any solutions. So the masses are turning to the person who says "I can fix it!", even if he doesn't have a plan.
Well yeah, Trudeau stuck his foot in his mouth about housing, and continues to not solve the massive problem. I get the anger, and since "progressive" Neoliberals can't solve it, they're turning to Pierre.
Ahhh yes, the very scary $10M cost of doing business expense for the oil industry. I'm sure this will change their minds about destroying the planet. 😵
Sorry, but how does that tax exemption work for the landlords then? They have to live in the unit for at least a year to avoid capital gain on the property.
"Seizing", they're doing so much work not to point out that this is theft.
Weird prejudice you've got there. Not surprising, just disappointing.
No one wants your here either, bucko.
You really need to look at how they're talking on landlord forums and such, the way they speak about tenants. Reality will remove this naive idea from your mind.
