while those who occupy second-stage home space will be charged rent equal to 30 per cent of their income, or the provincial shelter rate for those receiving income assistance.

Add another 10,000 or so units with the same pricing and we might be ok for a while

Can’t afford to up the density to the rich neighbourhoods or something?

That is where NIMBYs will most feverishly oppose it

Colonialism and capitalism is the basis of the major Western societies.

yes, I know, and it's not a good thing.

I’d agree with this but it’s hard to explain to a potential romantic partner why you seemingly have no friends of the same gender.

why are people so judgemental about this? especially at this age and in these times. like oh no, a 30-something who doesn't have a bustling social life, how unusual and certainly worthy of scorn and not compassion or understanding. do people actually view their potential partners like this?

Newsflash: none of our political parties have any solutions to the crises of capitalism.

“A therapist is expensive” - not necessarily. Talk to your primary care doctor.

what Canadian under the age of 50 has a primary care doctor? lmao.

every time you’re tempted to say “folks like me are destined to be forever alone” replace that with “I have decided to be forever alone.”

why?

and here I am wishing I could even find someone who wants me at all, even if it was only for my body

there’s a shortage of will to rein in developers and landlords.

yeah, that's pretty much it.

Welfare/Disability has to go up as well accordingly.

yeah we pretty much need to double welfare/disability rates
