I’ve found it’s almost irrelevant what the hats have of them. What these people desire is the attention it draws.
For obvious reasons most of these people would be completely unnoticed by society suddenly become the center of attention when wearing this stuff.
In this case is more about what you would get out of Biden, Harris, Vance or Trump.
As long as she’s willing to strongly push for a ceasefire as American you got other things to worry about. And for the record I do agree it’s a genocide.
As a Canadian I feel like people who support our right wing politicians are very generous with the accuracy of what they say and their American counterparts are even more so.
Yet somehow the Progressive side is held to this unusual standard where they’re constantly painted as the villain if they’re off by the slightest bit.
This is the official answer :
Personally speaking I don’t think it’s suppose impact prices much. In fact they were so concerned about it they started adding in exemptions almost right afterwards.
In itself there is a lot of Canadian wealth tied to housing so unless there’s some magical situation where affordability happens in a vacuum people will fight hard to against any policy that hits their wallets. My proof for this is that in 2021 when we had a election 80% of people decided that having the two parties that brought us through decades of housing costs going up was who they wanted to run the country.

Maybe, but probably not as much as investing in infrastructure that lowers the 15,000 km the average Canadian drives a year.
Canadians really need to start voting for actual competent people instead of parties. Even the pretense of parading a Ukrainian guy around due to the Russian invasion is rather repugnant behavior.
It would help a lot if the governments would actually lead or if people would actually vote for people who would lead.
99% politicians will only reactively look into solving any problems 10 years after they should. Imagine if we started building inter province transit systems and walkable cities 20 years ago.
One of the aspects I see rarely mentioned is how bad investors is for people quality of life of people actually living in those places.
For anyone that’s been involved in strata affairs they’ve probably seen many cases where investors refuse to make repairs for as long as possible so they can cash out and make it someone’s problem. Or where new builds are accepted with horrible design and finishing. They don’t care if the layout so bad that you have to stand on the toilet to open the bathroom door or the tiles have so much lippage it’ll slice your foot open, that’s s the renter or the next buyers problem.
Why do people always act like can only be one thing done to resolve the housing issue.
We could build our way out of this like a screw can be driven in with a hammer. It would probably just damage the screw, the wood and do a poor job binding the materials. We could attempt to build our way out of this while seeing how much investors skim off the top.
An extra few hundred thousand houses is going to take years if not decades to get built but we could have new taxes in the span of months and the houses would still be built. However none of these are even the real issue.
I also don’t understand how that person came to their conclusion based off of:
"We should allow mixed-use buildings of at least six storeys in all our neighbourhoods—and ensure that they are not only easier to approve, but also more viable to build. "
User tagging similar to Reddit Enhancement Suite. Specifically keeping a count of up/down votes of other users and displaying next to their comments. Also when tagging users it saves a link to the comment causing you to tag them.
The current user tagging feature is the largest reason I subscribe to sync Ultra. It’s really one of the only things that helped out with the spam aside from keeping to smaller communities.
The problem is that Canada has not developed enough for the population growth while we let multiple people take their cuts before it ever ends up being someone’s home.
On top of that Canadian voters overwhelmingly said they wanted more of the same last election by pretty much voting for the same 2 parties has brought us to this point.
The solution is complicated because people can’t agree on the problem.
As with your comment and subject of the article there is plenty of people that are perfectly happy with the housing crisis as long as the remain to the favourable side of it.
This type strategic voting against Liberals and Conservative is how Canada has just alternated between two bad parties for the last few decades.
Progress takes time and it doesn’t mean every single moment things have to go in the right direction. Canada can survive the Liberals and Conservatives for a couple more terms it means some type of political progress.
I think it should be clearer the Liberals has only done things where people pump even more money into real estate.
I really don’t understand why there’s any debate whether they would do anything for prices when the person who was their Housing Minister flipped houses and said investor like him was doing Canadians a solid.
While I agree the answer to the issue is the solution. As I noted it doesn’t seems like people agree on the issue.
As someone who believes:
A) Housing investors collectively have made incredibly large amounts of money at cost of other Canadians.
B) Essentially every single level of government has done little to aid in housing/infrastructure developments. If not outright block them.
C) Given the other 2 issues aren’t dealt with immigration is the only thing that can completely pivot overnight but we’ve only increased it.
I think the biggest issues is that in the last election 80% of voters seemed to think more of the same was okay. To be clear I’m talking about the people who voted for a party who’s housing minister said that investor is helping the situation or the party’s leader said the same or people who couldn’t even be bothered to vote.
Those people will also need to factor in how much housing is causing localized inflation which is eating into their monthly cash flow. Unless the person has a rather large real estate portfolio they could defer the burden to I don’t think the current situation is going to work out well for most single dwelling owners unless they plan to move away soon.
I’d love to see some type of Adblock like crowd sourced block lists. If the growth of other platforms is any indication there will probably be a day where it would be nice to block out a large amounts of accounts. I’d even pay for it.
