She’s such a fucking ghoul.

I don’t believe for a second that a) this won’t be used to invest in oil and gas b) she won’t kick the management of this to her buddies’ private companies so she can benefit personally.

Remember, the conservatives always want to privatize public services and assets to benefit their friends. Reference: GREENBELT.

I agree, but the path forward to get everyone else on board with socialized housing is pretty bleak. We can walk and chew gum at the same time, but we’re having issues hanging onto our socialized healthcare.

I think we also need to re-think how we work and good work opportunities for people. We’re supposedly in a housing crisis but there is more than enough land in Canada. We need to disperse more people away from huge cities (and the green belt) in my opinion. There needs to be good opportunity elsewhere. I have no clue how we can do that outside of UBI or something.

The extreme concentration of wealth is just accelerating and hurting everyone except the fantastically wealthy.

When it pops most people still won’t have money (because recession) and corporations will scoop in and buy up all the assets oh boy!

I’ve been in this industry for 10+ years under both Liberal and Conservative governments - the contracts are not dependent on what government is in power.

In fact, the IBM Phoenix contract - the poster boy for one of the most wasteful IT contracts ever - was awarded in 2011 when Harper was in power.

What is wrong with people? Who taught them to believe that this behaviour is acceptable?

There are lots of politicians I don’t like. I see many out at events in Ottawa. And I… go about my day and leave them alone.
