  3. 1:16 Harper was right all along in imposing visa requirements on Mexican citizens.
    61
  4. <and there are no solutions for the foreseeable future!> There are solutions, but politicians are not going to risk being labeled racist to come up with them. Or universities and agencies risking revenue/livelihood losses.

    23
  14. Inequality is not a real issue.
    23
  15. Activists and bleeding-hearts are nothing but clout-chasing enablers.
    23
  16. They already are. Canadians are currently paying 1/3 of real tuition costs.
    23
  17. And things like this is where I don't blame the rich for not paying their "fair share."
    22
  18. <So If you are fired in this scenario you do not qualify for E.I. or are entitled to any severance.> So why should you from then on continue to pay into a system you're no longer allowed to benefit from?
    22
  19. 1:25 But apparently you much rather suffer that in a foreign country than continue to live in your home country.

  38.  @bubsadoozy  <No one wants to talk about how the price of groceries is caused by private greed.> Because the real cause of that is the government's carbon tax and restrictions on food production. <Wages can go up and prices can go down, people like the Weston family need to be thrown in jail for their priority of profit over people.> In other words, running a successful business. No it can't as it will inevitably lead to shortages and higher prices in the long run. Venezuela already did that.

  256. Airline workers are paid well above minimum wage. The real cause of this are poor work conditions and vaccine mandates.
    3
  257.  @justadude117X  <because towns and cities are actually designed with some level of self awareness and logic.> To make it easier for governments to control people's movements. After all, socialism was never known for individual freedom including that of movement.
    3
  258. Tell them again!
    3
  259. Good question.
    3
  260. Probably the same young Canadians who were foolish enough to vote for him.
    3
  261. They don't anymore because they have been devalued.
    3
  262.  @happybunny6152  Stop simping.
    3
  263.  @bobwoods1302  First turn off CNN and MSNBC.
    3
  264. So does just about everywhere else in Canada that isn't SW BC.
    3
  265. They're not jealous of the questionable means she used to achieve that success.
    3
  266. Yeah! Into the ground as they have no idea how to run a hot-dog stand let alone the means of production they think they're entitled to. If workers truly wanted to own the means of production, they can save their money and start a business.
    3
  267. No. Go mixed. Like every other 1st-world country.
    3
  268. Poor people don't themselves any favors with their lousy management of finances.
    3
  269. LOL. The same French government responsible for this?
    3
  270.  @Vac700R  Due to inflation. Prices cannot stay the same forever as costs don't.
    3
  271. Their land masses are smaller and densely populated which in turn supports competition and lower overall prices.
    3
  272. <They are only focusing on protecting those who are not our most vulnerable> That would be those who actually work and pay taxes.
    3
  273. Nah. Just Greater Toronto Area folks
    3
  274. But wasn't Russia just a couple of generations ago the country they looked up to?
    3
  275. <The shrinking middle-class. > Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin would have been so proud.
    3
  276. It's only an issue when it involves male teachers.
    3
  277. Europe has the population density to support it.
    3
  278. Because they either inherited it from their parents or had the foresight to buy a home with whatever money they made.
    3
  279. Who's we? Do it at your own expense.
    3
  280.  @maryjeanjones7569  Carbon tax and overspending are not global. Those are entirely domestic issues.
    3
  281. And much of the rest of the world benefits from that as they don't have to spend much on their own defense and enjoy their welfare state. Cases in point: Canada, the Persian Gulf and Northern Europe.
    3
  282. Just to appease the insufferably vain.
    3
  283. Okay, Mengele!
    3
  284.  @karentoffan7027  Until Pierre Elliot Trudeau changed all that.
    3
  285. In other words, Canadians would much rather save a buck than their lives.
    3
  286. With what money?
    3
  287. Pretty much.
    3
  288.  @blitzk782  Not really as Eastern Europe has that and yet people can't wait to flee.
    3
  289. Or Ashley Judd?
    3
  290. Canadians earned their treatment.
    3
  291.  @socratease4645  Like in Israel now on its 4th dose as apparently the first 3 didn't work?
    3
  292.  @Roof_Pizza  Proven by their high household debt.
    3
  293.  @piku5637  Maybe, but socialism is still not a viable solution.
    3
  294. With Canadians playing a prominent role in it by opting for lifestyle and convenience over children and future.
    3
  295.  @rurutuM  Because Canadians are not interested in paying higher prices just to support local industry.
    3
  296. But landlords are nothing compared to the banks and governments.
    3
  297. LOL. Like the USSR did with Chernobyl and the Aral Sea?
    3
  298.  @on2thenextthing  Socialism is even worse.
    3
  299.  @docguinwayne8370  Until it doesn't especially when you get old and there's barely a new generation around to pay for your pension and retirement care.
    3
  300.  @DJ_Indigo-Angel  Provide your own defense. It's not the US's job to take care of you.
    3
  301. Time to trim the fat.
    3
  302.  @michaeltroster9059  Like Argentina gave Eva Peron and Cristina Fernandez-Kirchner a chance.
    3
  303.  @spotty67  Yet more Canadians go to the US for healthcare than vice-versa.
    3
  304. Because transport costs probably doubled.
    3
  305. Exactly.
    3
  306.  @vasilytanygin  ROFL. Pretty much.
    3
  307.  @lotstosayalways  <Unfortunately we have more people judging these people than helping.> Because those people haven't done much to improve their own situations along with the help enabling them to stay where they are.
    3
  308. Plus, the last time Scotland was independent, it went bankrupt.
    3
  309.  @fraudalert3550  At least the poster can hold down a job and lead a productive life.
    3
  310. 0:31 That's all you need to know about the strike.
    3
  311. Repeal the Air Canada Act and let the HQ move out of Quebec.
    3
  312. @MakinPopcorn4theEnd But it will still fry your brains.
    3
  313.  @brandonmulholland3581  That went on to make Chile the 6th wealthiest country in the Americas?
    3
  314. Uruguay recently elected a center-right government.
    3
  315. <Our governments must step up to the plate and develop real anti poverty programs.> No. Our governments have done more than enough damage.
    3
  316. That will be done when they stop trashing them and pay their rent on time instead of blowing it all on booze and drugs.
    3
  317. Justin and Jagmeet are part of the wealthy.
    3
  318. Cuba's bad credit and track record of theft.
    3
  319. 70% of the time. according to RCMP statistics.
    3
  320.  @weebee606  No. It's a big city problem. Too many people wanting to live there but more space to accommodate them.
    3
  321. You have only the social safety net to thank for that. People ceded family care to the government and private institutions in favor of career and lifestyle.
    3
  322. This is a power-grab.
    3
  323.  @BigBore525x  Black people especially men would like a word with you on that.
    3
  324.  @divinefem6582  <We are not a communist country.> But Canada is one of 3 countries in the world where private healthcare is banned. The other 2 are communist holdouts, Cuba and North Korea.
    3
  325. To me, Toronto is more Chicago than New York.
    3
  326.  DaisyDay.-pm2cf  Nor do we own any of the utilities that provide electricity, sewage or heating.
    3
  327. And Liberal/NDP-voters from BC and Ontario moving in.
    3
  328.  @nimash6273  At all costs
    3
  329. High real estate costs and government meddling made affordable housing non-viable. <Stop putting up condos that no one wants to live in,> Who's no one?
    3
  330. Or Florida.
    3
  331.  @somewhereoutthere1808  Due to other homeless people.
    3
  332. No. He was East Indian.
    3
  333. Pretty much.
    3
  334. Mostly old-stock real Canadians.
    3
  335. And a $1500-plus smartphone.
    3
  336. You mean far left.
    3
  337. <Yes credit cards are not the best friends but in these circumstances people have resorted to this because they have no way out > Largely due to living beyond their means.
    3
  338.  @Plug604  Local students are not paying 5 figures yet for tuition. The poster is right.
    3
  339. But few people want to live there.
    3
  340.  @lotstosayalways  But compassion has done nothing but further enable and exacerbate the problem as there's no accountability for those people.
    3
  341. Stephen Harper had nothing to do with this.
    3
  342.  @JoseSanchez-mk1ed  And the Liberal Party was in charge for most of the time the residential schools were in operation.
    3
  343. The same can be said for Canadians themselves. They need to stop being complacent and aspire for better.
    3
  344. Rest in peace.
    3
  345.  @tonyfanfarone  Pretty much.
    3
  346. That's rich considering she's an anchor baby and her parents were from the privileged class of their respective Jamaican and Indian societies.
    3
  347.  @Trowa159  But Mexico's crime rate is much higher than the US's.
    3
  348. Socialism is already here. And populism is ideologically neutral.
    3
  349.  @ToddBundy  Not in Alberta.
    3
  350. As if them being state-run would have made it better.
    3
  351. And replaced with the communist.
    3
  352. But those companies don't serve rural areas.
    3
  353.  @ShitWrangler  And matriarchies are known for being regressive.
    3
  354. Wendy's, Pizza Pizza, KFC, Pizza Hut, etc. In Montreal's case, mostly in areas with a sizable Anglo presence.
    3
  355.  @claudemartin7785  LOL. And why should they since the government don't follow the rules themselves?
    3
  356.  @glennhankins6927  WNBA: half of the teams are owned by the league. The other half are just barely breaking even.
    3
  357.  @edward8972  No they're not. The real problem is government meddling that made long-term rentals no longer worth maintaining making Air BnB viable.
    3
  358. Abolish alimony.
    3
  359.  @내이름은짱찌니  Far left.
    3
  360. Grocery chains are not responsible for most Canadians living beyond their means.
    3
  361. @Isa A How so?
    3
  362. And even if they do get anything, it will go to waste.
    3
  363.  @dukemocchi  <I’m sure anyone that voted Liberal did so out of compassion and with good intentions.> Translation: out of naivety and ignorance.
    3
  364. How about strict eligibility requirements?
    3
  365. There is no such thing as deserve. No one is owed anything.
    3
  366.  @rigmover250  Maybe when they start acting like humans.
    3
  367.  @AM.000  Actually it is when it comes to the production and transport of food.
    3
  368.  @witchy90210  Not in Switzerland.
    3
  369. LOL. Indeed.
    3
  370. <We are the people who grow your food.> And throughout history, we have seen what happened to countries that threw their farmers under the bus. USSR, China, North Korea, Zimbabwe, etc.
    3
  371. LOL
    3
  372.  @Ak-wv7dt  What's your solution? Socialism which was founded on envy and ignorance? And by the way, Karl Marx had little in common with the average worker as he was born upper class.
    3
  373. Take it up with your Premier. It's not Quebec's fault the rest of Canada is too "open, tolerant and friendly" to do the same.
    3
  374.  @mongoblazingsaddles9440  And the reserves make a solid argument against UBI.
    3
  375. Welfare states and open borders do not mix.
    3
  376. Fist stop allowing governments and banks to raise property taxes and interest.
    3
  377.  pa_2600  Yet more Canadians travel to the US for healthcare than vice versa.
    3
  378. Or the residents of Chicago.
    3
  379.  @Joe-by8jh  There's nothing clean about nuclear.
    3
  380. The rise of so-called right-wing politics in response to the left-wing politics that have left countries all but completely bankrupt and unrecognizable in their wake.
    3
  381. The same science that brought us Covid-19?
    3
  382. Price controls do not work unless you don't mind future shortages.
    3
  383. Don't you just love state monopolies?
    3
  384. By having 45 million of his own countrymen starved to death.
    3
  385. In the Bible it says: Honor thy father and mother.
    3
  386.  @pettermillar4158  What were the wages back then?
    3
  387. Poverty is a consequence, not the cause.
    3
  388. If PP = Trump lite, then JT = Maduro lite.
    3
  389. @Davey Jones Galley Pretty much.
    3
  390.  @PWingert1966  Thanks to government meddling which priced and regulated the competition out ensuring that only the richest of the rich can afford to build and own property.
    3
  391. With the rich being working-class people who had the misfortune of saving their money and buying property for their children to inherit.
    3
  392.  @seanhiggins2740  And watch the government mismanage it even worse the corporations ever did.
    3
  393.  @Make_America_Native_Again  Since when did freedom of expression exempt people from criticism among other consequences?
    3
  394. 1:00 All in the name of erasing Stephen Harper.
    3
  395. Only because her killer is a visible minority.
    3
  396.  @XetaXones  Which people? The people protesting are mostly public-sector workers and welfare-recipients used to living off of people.
    3
  397. 3-4% profit margins = massive?
    3
  398.  @Kr0nicDragon  The business-owners in the video are far from billionaires.
    3
  399.  @RandomPerson-dl8qs  Only because the suburbs voted that Mayor in. Other than that, Toronto is a Liberal/NDP city.
    3
  400. There's a YT video on a restaurant manager in Detroit who got killed by a homeless employee he allowed to stay at his place posted up recently.
    3
  401.  @ChuckBeefOG  And anyone who chooses not to take the Mark is to be killed.
    3
  402. Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea would like a word with you on that.
    3
  403. They love their Federal government handouts.
    3
  404. You mean the corporate HQ's that make most of their money from royalties and rent. The (independently owned) grocery chains are just barely breaking even.
    3
  405. Before going under, Future Shop was owned by Best Buy.
    3
  406.  @mathias8627  Yes there is. It's imposed by the provinces.
    3
  407.  @Themiddleman416  Like Justin Trudeau and the whole political class.
    3
  408. Exactly.
    3
  409.  @SillySongs4Everyone2001  Or a Pequiste.
    3
  410.  @justadude117X  Feminism, free trade, fiat currency and mass immigration killed all that.
    3
  411.  @hamburgerbrain  The poster is right. The story is just one of end results of the feminism women voted for.
    3
  412. They don't belong here. Their home countries or whichever countries willing to take on the burden. LOL. Maybe yours, but certainly not mine.
    3
  413. Just ask Quebec and Ontario.
    3
  414.  @Liberal_From_Prairies689  Yet they expect the rest of society to support them.
    3
  415.  @Sid-gu5qk  Translation: it's only illegal for men.
    3
  416. And Canadians should be forced to pay regular Canadian prices for goods produced by the company to support said regular Canadian wages.
    3
  417.  @DaddyOfTheSugarVariety  <Scientists can tell you everything you need to know about wind.> Not really.
    3
  418.  @bradcanning875  CBC is not private, though.
    3
  419. Social safety net, political stability, social peace.
    3
  420.  dbmuir8683  The unhinged left-winger.
    3
  421.  @professorakiba434  Yes we do. Canada and the West in general have gotten too secular for their own good.
    3
  422. Unfortunately, he is far-left and was once a communist party member.
    3
  423. So did Hitler.
    3
  424. On top of the federal government charging landing fees and other taxes on airports.
    3
  425.  @jenksy9603  No. And not even close.
    3
  426. No. You can thank big government meddling for that. The bigger the government, the less economic and personal freedom you have.
    3
  427.  @digital6string1  Not in Canada's case. There's nothing capitalist about Carbon and Fuel tax along with restrictions on supply and production.
    3
  428.  @salsa564  It is a dumb idea. Tax the rich doesn't mean what you think it means. Especially in practice.
    3
  429.  @bubsadoozy  No. Drop the carbon tax and cut the spending.
    3
  430. You mean revoke.
    3
  431.  @davidheipel2934  <The Netherlands finally got some spine hopefully they can push forwards.> Ditto for Sweden and Denmark.
    3
  432. Boluarte and Castillo are both far-left.
    3
  433. Canada = lower medical bills but less service as lot of corners have to be cut for that "free" healthcare to be a possibility.
    3
  434. So you're saying that you have no faith in your vaccine protecting you? And no, you did not take that vaccine to protect others. You took that vaccine to protect your job and privileges to whatever bread and circus the government has to offer who interestingly still stripped you of them.
    3
  435.  @georgesimon6041  And high (business) taxes.
    3
  436. CEO's pay their fair share and then some. And workers need to up their qualifications.
    3
  437.  @coolioso808  Inequality is natural. Sorry, we can't earn the same as we are not the same in ability or aspiration.
    3
  438. The minimum wage already went up. Some provinces increased it sooner than others this year.
    3
  439.  @MarcFun  Maybe because they don't want to get sued should someone get sick or die from eating expired food.
    3
  440. No. Metrolink is provincially owned.
    3
  441. You mean themselves and their friends?
    3
  442.  @JessT-vg7ib  Case in point: Sweden. Its crime rate is on par with the US.
    3
  443. But apparently, few people want to live in the middle of nowhere or around Conservative-voters.
    3
  444. Exactly.
    3
  445. First cap property taxes, insurance premiums, repair and maintenance costs, land values, construction costs, etc.
    3
  446.  @coolioso808  Whre do you get yours?
    3
  447.  @MOTOFIENDXXX-jr3qv  All she just wants is a free pass.
    2
  448.  @NotExpatJoe  Just because it's the law doesn't mean it's consistently enforced.
    2
  449.  @Briandodd760  How so? No one is obligated to hire you.
    2
  450. LOL.
    2
  451. <Only government housing is acceptable to these ideolouges.> Don't forget social assistance as they don't like those who can support themselves.
    2
  452. Regulating renting is part of the reason we have a housing shortage along with higher prices for whatever's available.
    2
  453. Because of other homeless people.
    2
  454. Pretty much.
    2
  455.  @LanaMyslyvetsPlanners  Not really. Tuition for local students is heavily discounted.
    2
  456. Pretty much.
    2
  457. Just like Justin's step-father intended.
    2
  458. <no one wants to rent> Maybe not you, but people who frequent the city do as they tend to move around a lot. <People are being forced to rent.> Only if they insist on living in the big city.
    2
  459. Finishing what his step-father started.
    2
  460. Exactly. Just ask Greece.
    2
  461. But corporations still pay more in taxes than most people earn in any given year.
    2
  462. Or by their own government?
    2
  463. And also Pol Pot.
    2
  464. Because it's either at someone else's expense or with strings attached.
    2
  465. Trump-haters are seeing red indeed.
    2
  466. Especially African-American men.
    2
  467. Trudeau has nothing to do with this. This is just personal irresponsibility.
    2
  468. But what good is $2000/month in a high COL locale?
    2
  469.  @Dam-a-fence  Just like you choose envy and pride.
    2
  470. That is not sustainable as not everyone can farm. <the idea that local farmers markets will solve the problem are not true produce prices are often 3 times higher than big box stores and meat twice as expensive > That's because local farmers markets don't have the economies of scale or the customer base of big-box stores to support lower prices.
    2
  471.  @theflowpowa42oshow  Projecting much?
    2
  472. With higher prices, food and (local) labor shortages as a result.
    2
  473. And where exactly is the money going to come from to support all that? Socialism failed for a reason. And external factors had little to do with it.
    2
  474. Lefties coming unhinged, I see.
    2
  475.  @LaydeeLyrix  And also the Cuban government making it illegal to grow stuff leaving the land desolate and no longer fertile.
    2
  476. That way, Quebec can forget about independence.
    2
  477. <You should be able to have a full-time job and live comfortably> As long as it doesn't put you in household debt.
    2
  478. Not really. They're by-products of rent control and bureaucracy.
    2
  479. So is ignorance.
    2
  480.  @yuvcharmer  University education is subsidized by the provinces. Canadian citizens pay a discount. Foreigners pay the full price.
    2
  481. Before Pierre Trudeau came along.
    2
  482. 70% of all MMIWG were missing and murdered by their own men.
    2
  483. Not really. Government interference taxed and regulated smaller business out of existence leaving big business around.
    2
  484.  @DieNibelungenliad  Which only ensures shortages and inefficiency along with government monopoly.
    2
  485. Didn't the government just ban them?
    2
  486.  @daimyo1178  What capitalists? Greece got ran into the ground by socialists.
    2
  487. Spoken like a true collectivist.
    2
  488.  @JEdwarrd  And for good reason. Most citizens are more or less the same on top of ignorant, frivolous, gullible and envious among other things.
    2
  489. Bad comparison as Singapore and Hong Kong are city-states with no more land to build on while Canada has plenty despite 89% of it being Crown-owned. Plus, Hong Kong has the world's highest rent.
    2
  490.  @Ivan_BSGO  All enabled and facilitated by no-man-in-the-house welfare courtesy of the Democratic Party.
    2
  491.  @JoshuaB-p8c  Not really as the marriage rates of other races are nowhere nearly as low as Black people's. Not even the poorest among them.
    2
  492.  @boblee6101  They make up 8% of the population yet account for 40% of all crimes committed.
    2
  493. Short term- rentals are the consequence of government making long-term rentals unviable.
    2
  494.  @proudcanadian1336  When they're not lining their own pockets and bribing people to vote for them.
    2
  495. You mean how pathetic Westerners have become? Too liberal for their own good.
    2
  496. Yet there are no shortage of administrators.
    2
  497.  @Colleen999  Some have it worse than others. And among developed countries per capita, the US is barely out of the top 10 while New Zealand #1, Australia #3 and Canada #4.
    2
  498. Hardly. It's because no one visits there just like the North and it's isolated.
    2
  499.  @alexsmith-ob3lu  <You’ll see that home prices there are much lower and more affordable. > Only if you're willing to do without a lot of basic services.
    2
  500. Feminism got the ball rolling.
    2
  501.  @Grant_S_M  And you sound like the typical NDP voter.
    2
  502. <I need a two bedroom $400,000 home and nobody is building them.> That only exist in Montreal.
    2
  503. Leading to shortages and higher prices. <Basic Food is necessity not a luxury it shouldn't be part of profit.> Maybe, but basic food is still not a right. And at who's expense should this basic food be provided?
    2
  504. Because the costs will be passed down to the consumer and once again it will be the poor and vulnerable paying for it the most in the end.
    2
  505. At who's expense exactly?
    2
  506.  @npaul5962  No. She was a District Attorney.
    2
  507. It's hilarious how Canadian provinces have more free trade with foreign countries than they do with each other.
    2
  508.  @marclaprade9153  Just like Quebec doesn't care about the rest of Canada or should I say America-lite?
    2
  509. Joe Biden = the Taliban ruling Afghanistan. Jimmy Carter = theocracy being the law of the land in Iran.
    2
  510. But Cuba's housing is in disrepair.
    2
  511.  @mikearchibald744  That none of the rich even paid.
    2
  512.  @Fuzzy-_-Logic  The same paradise where disease outbreaks, famines and shorter life spans were the norm?
    2
  513. Only to be slaves to their bad habits.
    2
  514. You can thank Stephen Harper and Peter McKay for that.
    2
  515. Especially if you live long enough.
    2
  516. That would be a lot of Liberal and NDP voters.
    2
  517. This is what happens society chooses to spare the rod and put childcare under the authority of the state.
    2
  518. Not really.
    2
  519. Maybe because the government mandated them out of existence?
    2
  520.  @phoenixwithinme  Loblaws also own Provigo and Maxi.
    2
  521. <Reagan also bankrupted Russia by giving The American Army a no limit cash on defence budget, the Russian's did the same and they went bankrupt.> Not only that but also exposed the limitations of Russia's (then known as the USSR) economy and model.
    2
  522.  @BbTenn  Envy and covetousness.
    2
  523. Pretty much.
    2

  525.  @einienj3281  At least they can tell you what is a woman unlike the average Canadian.
    2
  526.  @donsolaris8477  So is the land to build on.
    2
  527. That's what current city zoning laws allow.
    2

    2
  529.  @PrimaMapleSyrup  Poverty enabled by welfare.

  530.  @Mondayfridaybee  Pretty much.
    2
  531. Simple. Canada won't close the airports.
    2
  532.  @buckodonnghaile4309  That's why renovictions are a thing.
    2
  533.  @kevinmanning4880  Due to one-sided divorce laws that favor women.
    2
  534. <It’s all caused by foreign mostly Chinese money for past 20 years.> Due to investor immigration laws.
    2
  535.  @patriciathorleifson1423  Like it was for Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia and Ecuador.
    2
  536. Welfare destroyed the black family.
    2
  537. Especially if you're male.
    2
  538. Helping big business in the process.
    2
  539. Very much.
    2
  540. First abolish rent control and allow landlords to evict problematic tenants in a timely manner.
    2
  541.  @77Redwood  Not really as Trudeau raised the OAS and GIS to 67.
    2
  542.  @carolambage4430  No she wasn't. She knew exactly what she was doing. She regrets it now only because it blew up in her face, playing the victim.
    2
  543. But listen to stooges and communist propaganda?
    2
  544. <Caregivers, Fast food, Construction workers, housekeeping, customer service, restaurants, all underdogs jobs you can imagine... All the hard jobs should be done by Canadians....> I thought Canadians were above those jobs.
    2
  545. LOL. You know the government is part of the reason why we're in this mess, right?
    2
  546. Record costs.
    2
  547. Also notice they always seem to have money for administrators and bureaucrats but seldom for doctors, nurses or maintenance?
    2
  548.  @jmmarke1527  LOL. While offering some 37% protection?
    2
  549.  @jmmarke1527  If it was effective, why the need for a booster? At some point, there's only so much vaccine a body can take.
    2
  550.  @darring.9161  And Dalton McGuinty.
    2
  551. Or Sweden.
    2
  552. Color me shocked! Global News calling the government what it is. A socialist one.
    2
  553.  @Erikamil1998  Humanity is hopelessly wicked.
    2
  554. Well, that's just the consequence of having leftists/socialists in charge leaving the country insolvent.
    2
  555. And the irony is that socialism was never known for open borders.
    2
  556. <cuz we're not building anymore.> Due to local zoning laws and bureaucracy.
    2
  557.  @warrendourond7236  <Yet I find it hard to understand why people can’t connect the gun culture in the US and their ridiculously lax gun regulations, with their tragic rates of gun violence and endemic mass/school shootings.> Yet most of the gun crimes and shootings in the US take place in locales with strict gun regulations namely places run by Democrats.
    2
  558.  @ablam8  Who's the rich?
    2
  559. No. This is a problem of people who failed to plan for their futures.
    2
  560.  @Grant_S_M  How much money did you save for retirement during that time?
    2
  561. Especially Quebec and Ontario.
    2
  562. Just ask Venezuela.
    2
  563. Not according to the UN thanks to Josef Stalin.
    2
  564. Actually no they don't as they are not owed anything.
    2
  565. Welfare destroyed their self-sufficiency.
    2
  566. Or they actually agree with Sharia Law as that's what they want to implement on society as a whole using disadvantaged groups as the means to achieve such ends.
    2
  567. First world problems.
    2
  568. And avoid the clot shots.
    2
  569. Decades of left-wing policies are why Greece has to resort to this.
    2
  570.  @tedlivermore6955  Surviving envy and entitlement.
    2
  571. The situation is better in the US. It's just people are too proud to to consider the Midwest and South.
    2
  572. @massdebation <All businesses should be owned and run by the employees, as cooperatives.> They're free to save their money and start their own businesses. <Wrong. The workers provide the labor that make jobs happen.> Wrong. If it wasn't for the billionaires, those workers wouldn't have anyone to hire them.
    2
  573. Booze and smokes.
    2
  574.  @AUG_XZABER  Profits come AFTER expenses, not before.
    2
  575.  @interstitialife  Which turned out be a blessing in disguise as Canada went on to get its finances in order no thanks to Trudeau Sr. whose reckless spending and inflation made the GST a necessity.
    2
  576. Same here.
    2
  577. <Socialism or barbarism.> Socialism = barbarism.
    2
  578. Your ideas have been tried before to unmitigated failure.
    2
  579. Don't hold your breath as they're state-protected.
    2
  580.  @bitey-facepuppyguy2038  Maybe because that rooming house = run-down slum inhabited by the dregs of society?
    2
  581.  @thedel775  How about you do that at your own expense?
    2
  582.  @commonsensecraziness7595  The unvaxxed inadvertently exposed how poorly managed Canadian healthcare.
    2
  583. Apparently he's willing to pay higher rent just so he can live close to his workplace and extended family.
    2
  584. But they didn't save.
    2
  585. Who's the rich? Even those doing better than a homeless person are "rich."
    2
  586. Or at least live within their means.
    2
  587. While denial and guilt are the definitions of Canadian culture.
    2
  588.  @kinggrizzly13  Blue. The poster said Los Angeles.
    2
  589.  @philster6383  And you only support parents that drank the Kool-Aid.
    2
  590. Like every other bleeding-heart initiative.
    2
  591. That's not corruption. And it never was the government's responsibility to look after the elderly in the first place.
    2
  592. I think you misspelled liberalism.
    2
  593. Often borrowed or stolen.
    2
  594.  @saxonthegermanshepherd2809  Entertainment industry executives.
    2
  595.  @georgianakopoulou6339  The government responsible for the country's economic woes was.
    2
  596. Let it run its natural course. And hospitals have been overrun long before Covid thanks to government underfunding and mismanagement.
    2
  597. Exactly.
    2
  598. Thanks to people from Ontario and BC moving in.
    2
  599. <4. Give corporate landlords an ultimatum: reduce your average unit rental rate to 25% of median income in the city or have your properties expropriated. Then convert the buildings to socialized housing, co-op or not-for-profit.> First drop the property tax and bureaucracy that holds housing development back and make it costly.
    2
  600.  @terryk19  It also decreases housing availability.
    2
  601.  @devinekaren7  Including Jagmeet's wife.
    2
  602.  @AZNinsomnia02  Cuba is not a victim.
    2
  603. Pretty much.
    2
  604.  @johnmacleod2487  And the unvaxxed made the perfect scapegoats.
    2
  605. Socialism = barbarism.
    2
  606. LOL
    2
  607. LMAO
    2
  608. Yeah! And? At least abused and battered women in America have legal and social recourse while the same in Iran probably have to GTFO of the country.
    2
  609. Unless you're part of the ruling class.
    2
  610. Or South Korea.
    2
  611. Same here. South Asians are currently the largest minority and immigrant group in Canada. Black people are 3rd, just about up there with the Chinese.
    2
  612.  @bradcanning875  While your Liberals under Chretien and Martin pulled the plug on low-income housing and cut funding to the provinces along with raiding the EI coffers to enjoy the surpluses.
    2
  613.  @bradcanning875  Chretien and Martin were still in office when the turn of the century rolled in.
    2
  614. No. Try carbon and fuel taxes along with fertilizer restrictions.
    2
  615. Exactly.

  621.  @ef888  Until the oil prices collapsed.
    2
  622.  @elwray3506  Socialism is communism's father.
    2
  623. <It's not govt fault .> Yes it is. Mostly the municipal government.
    2
  624. No they don't. They want a home, security and "affordable" food? They can get to work like everyone else.
    2
  625.  @Reddeatharrow  That's if he even makes it to vaccine #16 at all.
    2
  626. Funding the salaries of administrators and bureaucrats.

  627.  @drabhibds  He's Asian. There's nothing Quebecois about Ny.
    2
  628. Pretty much.
    2
  629. And the self-created reputation of not being the US.
    2
  630. And so are costs to supply, produce and transport.
    2
  631. The government is the problem here. Not the CEO's.
    2
  632. Case in point: Yugoslavia.
    2
  633. And 1st nations women need to make some better choices in the men they date and have babies with.
    2
  634. <The government needs to do more for our healthcare.> LOL.
    2
  635. LOL. Minimum wage is the government's responsibility, not the CEO's.
    2
  636. But a lot of provinces are.
    2
  637.  @brianhale3678  Due to pride. And the Bible has been consistently proven right about the human heart being corrupt as humanity left to its own devices have consistently led itself to chaos.
    2
  638. Better off being among the worst-off in its region like many other countries that sided and/or still side with Russia.
    2
  639. A large alphabet community?
    2
  640. If it wasn't for farmers, a lot of people would starve especially those who live in the city.
    2
  641. Just drug cartels and bad politics.
    2
  642. They should have saved during their working years. Government is not to be relied upon to take care of you at retirement.
    2
  643.  @thomasclausmann9581  Also you can extort your former colonies. <You Can have pension earlier for hard Worker> And how has that worked out for Greece? <There IS plenty of possibilities. > That's if you don't mind having your grandchildren pay for it and set the country up for future economic ruin.
    2
  644.  @Klote3241  <It is not sustainable and those rich people will just leave France if you increase taxes drastically it wont work> Just like they did in 2015 when Hollande was in charge. He eventually scrapped the tax hikes.
    2
  645.  @justadude117X  If you don't mind chronic shortages.
    2
  646. What conservative? They don't run Ottawa or the cities where many of the poor live in.
    2
  647. While New York is #1.
    2
  648. Until that home is sold off to a corporate investor, used as a short-term rental, left to crumble or needs renovations.
    2
  649. Pretty much. Apparently, women are strong, independent and empowered only as long as there's a social safety net around to prop them up all built, established, maintained and financed by men.
    2
  650.  @tartrazine5  Quebec = premier welfare state.
    2
  651.  @saxonthegermanshepherd2809  And to a lesser extent NDP.
    2
  652. Most Canadians are too proud.
    2
  653. And the woman in the video works in an industry that is subsidized by taxpayers. Yes! The video game industry.
    2
  654.  @faustianbargains  LOL
    2
  655. The latter.
    2
  656.  @LauraineHowattpansy2018  That are not much to write home about.

  657. According to Anglos and Montrealers.
    2
  658.  @Matt-YT  Lower salaries, higher taxes, less competition, etc.
    2
  659. Exactly.

    2
  669. <They're talking about minimum wage earners,> Who only make up 10% of the population. <what about people that make more than minimum wage and less than $70k and can’t afford rent!?> They have personal finance issues. If you're making 70K and still struggling to pay rent, you're living beyond your means.
    2
  670. <Since when is a wealth tax a bad thing? > When it (eventually) targets those doing the slightest bit better than a vagrant. This is not that far off from what the USSR had under Lenin.
    2
  671. <Soon will be another poor, overpopulated, 0 relevancy, 0 culture, 0 innovation state > Canada has always been that minus the poor and overpopulated parts
    2
  672.  @FreshLyte  And they have the nerve to accuse capitalism of exploitation. LOL
    2
  673. Or post-Soviet collapse Russia when the properties were bought by black marketers, family and friends of the old regime and those with access to foreign currency.
    2
  674. But to most, it's either Toronto or death.
    2
  675. How many of those 26 000 people that moved to Halifax got priced out of Toronto?
    2
  676.  @helenapawl1049  Free but inadequate and inefficient.
    2
  677.  @DrSpooglemon  Resulting in higher unemployment, automation and prices down the road.
    2
  678. Many of them are wealthy back in India.
    2
  679. Agreed.
    2
  680. Namely husbands, boyfriends and male acquaintances.
    2
  681. Welcome to Quebec.
    2
  682. <Racism and discrimination are in the DNA of the Federal and all Provincial Governments across Canada.> Maybe so, but Canada doesn't owe non-white non-Europeans anything.

    2
  687.  @MrGGlafrite  And the government is running out of people to tax.

  688. And homogeneous.
    2

    2
  690.  @MA-lb8dq  No. The US is better.

  699. And locals are in no position to pay US-level tuition.
    2
  700. And so are the people who elect them.
    2
  701. The one-time head of the Caisse Depot and about-to-be head of Hydro Quebec is an Anglo named Michael Sabia.
    2
  702. The last conservative government was Harper and the Loonie was actually equal to the US Dollar throughout the early 2010's.
    2
  703.  @TuneinTurnonGrowup  And Canadians are not prepared to pay European-level taxes.
    2
  704. Pretty much.

  748. Or lived beyond your means for most of your working years.
    2
  749.  @edward8972  Actually yes they did. This is just the fallout.
    2
  750.  @grantjohnston7148  <and there would be lots of money for social programs as well. > As in left-wing vote-buying and money-laundering programs.
    2
  751. LOL.
    2

    2
  753.  @jeffros6739  Namely the dealers, activists and pawn shop-owners.
    2
  754. Danielle Smith has nothing to do with this. How is the man in the video 76 and still paying mortgage on the house?
    2
  755.  Hannibal Barca  Trump-haters even more so.
    2
  756. Especially if you don't live in close proximity to a subway station.
    2
  757.  @Malinxa-k7b  Yet they can't last even 10 seconds being sober in the poster's shoes. LOL
    2
  758. For why Quebec can afford its lavish social welfare state.
    2
  759. The usual places. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
    2
  760. With nearly all of them having left-wingers in charge.
    2
  761. And you have only the left and leftist MSM to thank for that.
    2
  762. Just like North Korea does to China. After all, it's Chinese aid that's keeping the regime afloat.
    2
  763.  @views-kb6sv  That can already be done in capitalism. It's called entrepreneurship and starting your own business.
    2
  764. And degenerates.
    2
  765. Majority of Canadians or really just the majority of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver residents?
    2
  766. You'd much rather they do what Moscow tells them to do or else?
    2
  767. Would that include personal greed as people think they have the right to steal just because?
    2
  768. "Greedy" private equities, thanks to government interference, are among the only entities that can afford to build and own property.
    2
  769.  @BDee3126  Canada missed its chance in 1812.
    2
  770. Like Uganda?

  771.  @dilpickles5928  But it works in Singapore.
    2
  772. Namely those who can speak French.
    2
  773. Germany has strict eligibility requirements.
    2
  774. Or live within their means.
    2
  775. Time for France to pay for its welfare state with its own resources.
    2
  776.  @rustyshackleford5704  They expect someone else to do it as they're not sacrificing themselves or their loved ones for the cause.
    2
  777.  @raynwolfsbane2084  Oil companies actually employ people and contribute to the economy.
    2
  778.  @facundof151  Yes it should be as higher education was never meant for everyone.

  779.  @Nicolas.Vincent  Harvey Weinstein is LiberTrash Gutter Sleaze just like the entertainment industry he worked in.
    2
  780. Him and his card-carrying Marxist understudy, Dilma Rousseff.

    2
  782.  @jamesfrommanitoba.1992  <Rent in Winnipeg is absolutely outrageous > Compared to the rest of Canada, Winnipeg is a bargain. The rent is "absolutely outrageous" only because Winnipeg's average salary is low.
    2
  783. Hopefully it will stand its ground against Western degenerates.
    2
  784. <Then small buisness owners in rural communtwho have no access to all these alternatives everyone is pointing at can keep their business afloat.> Because those alternatives don't serve rural areas at all.
    2
  785. No. They have nothing to with the carbon and fuel taxes that jacked up the costs of production and distribution.
    2
  786. At least LA has the film industry and high demand from celebrities to justify its living costs.
    2
  787.  @kyletrusler4565  Which are just pennies on the dollar. The only people it benefits are those who barely pay any tax at all as their incomes are meager to begin with.
    2
  788.  @ChristIsRisen6777  And Venezuela did UBI.
    2
  789. Yet you're still forced to pay into EI
    2
  790. The federal government needs to stop issuing student visas and local students need to start paying real tuition costs to make up for all the foreign students no longer accepted.
    2
  791. Except immigrants and refugees.
    2
  792. The suspect of the recent child-killings was "un ethnique."
    2
  793. Quebec supported the Axis during WW2. There's a reason they barely celebrate Remembrance Day
    2
  794.  @zabuma  They're not the problem. The government with its high taxes and restrictions which enabled those corporations' so-called record profits is.
    2
  795. Okay, groomer!
    2
  796. Or refer to them as state-funded traphouses.
    2
  797.  @bradcanning875  BC hasn't had a conservative government in 31 years. And it was the federal Liberals under Chretien that pulled the plug on affordable housing.
    2
  798. Get ready to pay higher prices to support that $25/hour.
    2
  799. Often in the public sector which is protected from market conditions.

  804. Canada becoming opium crisis-era China.
    2
  805. And who's going to be forced against their will to provide all that for you?
    2
  806. Unsurprisingly, it's the public-sector workers and welfare recipients protesting.
    2
  807. Just like Theresa tam.
    2
  808.  @PrimaMapleSyrup  LOL. Are they even employable enough to warrant a decent wage?
    2
  809. And the gay community is large in mostly Democrat-run cities and states.
    2
  810.  @nickyalousakis3851  And even greater excuses when they don't pan out.
    2
  811.  @KindlyVegan  But useful to those living in close proximity to the residence.
    2
  812. That they happily voted for.

    2
  819. @@Dora-hi2nw In response to the government raising taxes, fees and restrictions.
    2
  820. <THE NORTH HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS!!!!!!> Because the North is remote and desolate and few people even want to visit let alone work there. Never mind the fact that virtually everything has to be flown in which jacks up the overall cost of living.

    2
  826. And so is society itself. So getting rid of these clowns is going to do much.
    2
  827. No. It's due to the man in the video living beyond his means during the 30 years he had to pay off the mortgage.
    2
  828. But no amenities, no public transit, too remote, etc.
    2
  829. And where is the money going to come from to support that?
    2
  830. , <they have right to live where ever they want !> Actually no they don't. It's a privilege.
    2
  831. Which would include their ideologies as in the cases of Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela.
    2
  832. <history spoke of.> In the form of Vladimir Lenin. Originally, that was the term he used to describe Western liberals and leftists who advocate for socialism/communism not knowing about the tyranny and subjugation it ultimately entails.
    2
  833. <They thinking of babies but yet most canadians can't even offered daycare.> Good. Daycare should have never been the responsibility of the government or any private establishment. Time for Canadians to raise their own kids.

    2
  839. Unless you have ties with the ruling Liberal Party.
    2
  840. Socialism is not that ethical given the unethical means used to justify its ends. It's not surprising why it often ends in disaster when it longer runs out of "rich" people to steal from.
    2
  841. The new builds are expensive due to high land values, building costs and bureaucracy. Can't forget demand.
    2

  843. Good question.

  845. Agreed. Let's not forget how they happily forfeited family and future for career and lifestyle and now wonder why Canada is going through a demographic crisis.
    2
  846. Rest in peace.
    2
  847.  @threatassessment216  Dot.

    2
  849.  @skelitonking117  Just like there's no such thing as a good tenant. Rent control and tenants' rights are part of the reason why Air BnB is viable.

    2
  875.  @baha3alshamari152  <yet people don't want to live anywhere other than Ottawa Toronto Vancouver Montreal and then they complain about high costs of housing 🤦‍♂> Exactly. But there's a reason for that. That's where all the jobs, services and social support are.

  886.  @twalk263  They may not deserve, but they sure invite it when they put themselves out there granting the predator the opportunity.
    2
  887.  @calvinabbott6920  Except no one in NK really loves him. They're just tolerating him.
    2
  888. But Canada can't, because it doesn't have the cojones to move on from the British Monarchy.
    2
  889. <direct where the money goes to. > Only for it to get squandered and then it's right back to square one.
    2
  890. That would be the federal and provincial governments.
    2
  891. Get rid of rent control that enabled Air BnB.
    2
  892. Price control does not work unless you want to end up like Venezuela. Sure you'll have some money, but you'll have nothing to buy with it being greeted with empty shelves.
    2
  893. Even the poorest Americans can get healthcare in a timely manner.
    2
  894. And the legacy of Pierre Elliot Trudeau lives on.
    2
  895. They would have to put down the booze first.
    2
  896. Says a regime supporter.
    2
  897.  @windatar6351  Because the cost to produce and distribute them is too high for farmers to sell at "affordable prices."

    2
  899. LOL.
    2
  900. Doctors work for the state.
    2
  901. <They don't come to adapt.> They come to take over and replace the natives.
    2
  902. Good! Time to stop subsidizing irresponsibility.
    2
  903. It's not the developers' job to build affordable homes. This is just the government deferring its own responsibility onto others.
    2
  904. @Diane Have you seen the living conditions there?

  913.  @fayguled900  And you can thank Joe Biden and the 1994 Crime Bill for that.
    2
  914.  @FortitudineVincimus  With help from the carbon and fuel taxes. Never mind the government lockdowns that mandated the competition out of business.
    2
  915. It's not the landlord or the government's job to check with her doctors. <WHO closed her bank account?!?> The bank due to lack of activity for a month.
    2
  916.  @rayray8687  Yet among developed countries, Canada's healthcare system is bottom-tier.
    2
  917.  @AmberTurdsShittyBedsheet  And what world would that be? The West is rotting with its secular humanism.
    2
  918.  @mariedavison3707  Living out your passions is for the financially well-off.
    2
  919.  @annatar6453  Or unlawful or immoral.
    2
  920. The consequences of rent control bearing fruit.
    2
  921.  @colingryms3373  Yet Canada fared the best of the bunch.
    2
  922.  @vwgames49  In most countries, you'd be considered upper class. Plus, Marx and Engels were part of the very same bourgeoisie they denounced yet hypocritically enjoyed the benefits.
    2
  923. Black parents are not.
    2
  924. What culture? Being Russia's backyard?
    2
  925.  @artofmybody2882  Freedom-fighter as in aspiring tyrant just like his comrade Mugabe.
    2
  926.  @AmberTurdsShittyBedsheet  Of those 33+ countries that legalized gay marriage, how many of them were situated in Africa or Asia or even Eastern Europe?
    2
  927. He is Asian.
    2
  928. But outside of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, Canada is just simply not that desirable.
    2
  929. Would that also include Atheist ones?
    2
  930.  @DaddyOfTheSugarVariety  Atheism = Paganism 2.0
    2
  931. Also PEI = poorest province in Canada.
    2
  932.  @drutter  #2 to be exact.
    2
  933. <More demonization of homeless people and drug addicts by people who themselves aren't very rich and who work for minimum wage or not much more than minimum wage> Many of the homeless and drug-addicted earned their demonization. Their poor conduct and attitude are not doing them any favors.
    2
  934.  @centuryhousegames733  No. Just live wherever you can afford.
    2
  935. Canada = the WEF and UN's wet dream come true.
    2
  936. Municipal zoning laws and NIMBY's.
    2
  937. What has being Putin's puppet gotten Moldova except poorest country in Europe?
    2
  938. The one thing I didn't like about Stephen Harper is him jack up the retirement age to 67.
    2
  939.  @MrBuddy-r8w  Your ancestors should have fought off the Americans alone. It was their idea to promise them cultural and linguistic sovereignty in exchange for alliance.
    2
  940. <Real estate builder did not build enough housing to supply> Because they're barely allowed to, financially and legally.
    2
  941.  @johnmacleod2487  So did Hitler for Jews. Amin for East Indians. Mao for shopkeepers. Mugabe for white farmers. Xi for Hong Kongers. Pol Pot for anyone who looked the slightest bit educated.
    2
  942.  @peter12246  It really does.
    2
  943.  @Stardusted1  Thanks to the government and activists.
    2
  944. Leftists are morally superior. Remember?
    2

    2
  946.  @sp1pilot  Loblaws owns Superstore.
    2
  947. Especially after that bang-up job Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge did.
    2
  948. This is the free universal healthcare the people of Canada voted for.
    2
  949. Fascists like every other socialist care nothing about the private sector.
    2
  950.  @vulcanh254  The current liberals = wannabe communists.
    2
  951.  @checkfactschecking  Plus, the population centers are too far away from each other resulting in higher transport costs.
    2
  952. Exactly.
    2
  953. This is Canada, not the US, where its mandates are imposed by the government.
    2
  954. There's nothing stopping workers from saving their money and starting their own businesses.
    2
  955. Vote NDP = shortages and bankruptcy.
    2
  956. Not as much as poor people who live beyond their means.
    2
  957. Because they don't want to get reported to child protection and lose custody of their kids.
    2
  958. Too many rights and not enough responsibilities.
    2
  959.  @B.D.F.  Corporate greed is not responsible for personal mismanagement of finances.
    2
  960.  @rockyjohnson9243  Exactly. They pretty much brought it upon themselves.
    2
  961. The moral of the story: never assume that the government will there for you at retirement.
    2
  962.  @piku5637  Only to be the same people complaining about having to pay higher prices.
    2
  963. Canada never really had an advantage in the Western world.
    2
  964. <With no respect for there belongings> Wich are most likely either donated or stolen.
    2
  965. Just like Governor Cuomo of New York.
    2
  966.  @jeffros6739  There's a reason why Chretien pulled the plug on social housing.
    2
  967.  @williammatthews4491  This is what happens when you cede family care to the government or a private institution in exchange for comfort and convenience.
    2
  968.  @derekrank4572  UBI = welfare 2.0
    2
  969.  @mohamedms2472  So? They don't owe anyone citizenship.
    2
  970.  @piku5637  The same Mao guy who condemned 45 million of his own citizens to starvation?
    2
  971.  @Oxbloodmage  So is pride. Greed is just a manifestation of pride.
    2
  972. But without the self-employed or entrepreneurs, who will hire them?
    2
  973. Metrolinx is owned by the province.
    2
  974.  @annkristoff4303  How so? I thought Cuba was self-sufficient and didn't need the US for anything. Plus, Cuba had no problem doing business with Russia (USSR), Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil, etc.
    2
  975.  @deb3477  <Empty shelves was due to supply chain issues> Caused by government meddling.
    2
  976. LOL.
    2
  977. <Living in the 60's and 70's meant finding cheap basement suite rent that was way less than a quarter of your income; we could go to college while working part time, and could even afford to travel.> But feminism, free trade, fiat currency and mass immigration killed all that.
    2
  978. This is Canada. Not the US.
    2
  979. The suspect is WASP.
    2
  980.  @77Redwood  But Trudeau raised the OAS and GIS to 67.
    2
  981.  @Redact63Lluks  And junkies.
    2
  982. No. Most North American cities don't have public transit.
    2
  983. So does Cuba.
    2
  984. Governments don't actually build housing let alone new housing. That job is contracted out to private developers and construction companies just like public infrastructure.
    2
  985. She's a diversity hire.
    2
  986.  @BoogieBoogsForever  Yes they did.

    2
  989. Fascism is just another form of socialism.
    2
  990. And that worked so well in the old USSR.
    2
  991. Does Finland have mass immigration?
    2
  992.  @maryjeanjones7569  Yes it was. And Mulroney's GST was in response to Trudeau Sr.'s infaltion and out of control spending.

    1
  1241. That's where all the jobs and money is at for English Canada.
    1
  1242. Certainly not if you insist on living beyond your means.
    1
  1243. Who voted for their own displacement.
    1
  1244. @massdebation And what would socialism do? Condemn people to squalor like certain communities in the housing projects the US already have?
    1
  1245. The NHL doesn't have to worry about that. Or even MLB as the only blacks playing in that league these days are Dominican.
    1
  1246. How can we when production and distribution costs are rising?
    1
  1247. But most social laws are influenced by religion.
    1
  1248. Yet they can afford their lifestyles and expensive habits. Canada is #1 in household debt among developed countries.
    1

    1
  1252. <A plausible explanation for why no government agency will help owners of strata lots is that they are all working 24/7 assisting owner developers and investors to help them maximize their return on investment with the apparent end-goal of ending home ownership for all British Columbians with the exception of the ultra wealthy elite.> Which include the BC government itself. <So far, great progress is being made towards the elimination of home ownership.> Just as Karl Marx advocated.

  1258. More of what the guy she's replacing brought.

    1
  1260. And mismanage it into insolvency requiring privatization just like the last time CN was state-run.
    1
  1261. Canada Post is a business just like every other Crown corporation. <Oh that's right, because conservatives despise spending on anything but stupid toys for the armed forces.> Just like liberals despise fiscal accountability on anything including their vanity projects even willing to bankrupt the country just to appease their egos and advocacy groups.
    1

    1
  1270.  @MikeyPaper  Pretty much.

  1271.  @maryjeanjones7569  How so? The Liberals and Pierre Trudeau were in charge for most of the early 1980's.
    1
  1272.  @TooCringeToAssociateWith  How about get a valuable job skill that would warrant an "affordable" wage?
    1

    1
  1274.  @MetaView7  Namely European ones.

  1294. In other words, government interference.
    1
  1295. Just ask Cuba.
    1
  1296.  @nicolaihilckmann4677  Because most Conservatives, politicians and voters alike, don't rent. They own their homes.

  1302.  @martymcfly1776  Only in the big city.
    1
  1303.  @eatingketchupchips9567  <Healthcare is a human right, > No it isn't. And that can be proven by the people dying in waiting rooms due to staff negligence among other things.
    1
  1304.  @professorakiba434  <Public healthcare means everyone gets treated the same from the PM to you.> The PM barely uses public healthcare as he has the means to travel abroad for better.
    1
  1305.  @eatingketchupchips9567  <health should never be for-profit.> Don't cry about the system being of inadequate quality giving people little more than the bare minimum in care.
    1
  1306. Because the city is home to the province/country's major trade routes.

    1
  1319. UBI = welfare. And no, it will not solve poverty.
    1

    1
  1322. Thanks to government meddling.
    1
  1323. And women's soccer is subsidized by men's soccer.

    1
  1331.  @qbee53  Your math is off. If you're working full-time at minimum wage, you would be getting around $500 net after taxes per week ($2000 per month). 1/2 a day's salary would be $50 leaving $43 in your pocket after paying for your day fare.
    1
  1332.  @zachweyrauch2988  Who's most of Canada?
    1

    1
  1340.  @sammburu2922  The same resources Africa barely knew it even had.
    1
  1341.  @jay36513  The same Slave Trade African kings and merchants all too happily participated in.
    1
  1342.  @nadia0466  Mostly Montrealers whose favored party has little relevance outside of city limits.
    1
  1343. Only one problem, though. It's not the unvaccinated doing the spreading these days.
    1
  1344. Because Europe is barely a generation removed from communism and fascism being the order of the day.
    1
  1345. <but also lacking caring others, friends and caregivers.> Some due to burning their bridges.
    1
  1346.  @macamo9991  Yet Vermont has a higher per capita homelessness rate than California despite being cheaper.

    1
  1386. Canada missed its chance at that in 1812.
    1
  1387.  @bartholomewrichards1663  And then feminism, mass immigration, fiat currency and free trade changed all that.
    1
  1388.  @piku5637  All systems have hierarchies including socialism and communism which practice the 1% vs. 99% capitalism is (erroneously) accused of.
    1
  1389. <If your ever confused about someone’s intentions. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” GOD> Sums up a leftist best.
    1
  1390. As in no one who insist on living in an expensive and trendy locale can afford to work minimum wage anymore.
    1
  1391. And ignorant Canadians who'll happily defend it saying "HEY! AT LEAST IT'S BETTER THAN THE US."
    1
  1392. But in comparison to the rest of Canada, Vancouver stands alone.

  1414.  @santiagowechsler  She was consistently getting roles so he had no reason to.
    1
  1415.  @robertbouchard6719  Resulting in more corporate ownership, higher rents and housing prices and fewer units available. These are some of the thing rent control and tenants' rights enabled.
    1

    1
  1439. Pierre Trudeau was right.
    1
  1440. He wasn't saying that in the 90's when he made the Crime Bill adopted by Clinton resulting in millions of mostly Black men locked up.

  1459. So? Canada is a sovereign country and has every right to charge international students however much it wants.
    1
  1460.  @a.f.2330  Liberals were in charge for most of the time the atrocities went on.
    1
  1461. Or the Philippines under Duterte.
    1
  1462. It has happened in the US namely on a municipal level. Remember Marion Barry in DC who was Rob Ford before Rob Ford?
    1
  1463. <they are brainwashed by capitalism and then they find a job with someone who has managed to create a plantation like business in order to hire as many of those incapable of creating jobs for themselves elsewhere > Due to socialist-like restrictions on business.
    1
  1464.  @nunol1554  <where they not ripping people off> Except the company coffers and taxpayers.
    1
  1465. They have been ruled by far-left governments for decades.
    1
  1466. Imposed by the Cuban government against its own citizens.
    1
  1467. Because not everyone desires to live in a crowded urban hellscape.
    1
  1468.  @fnyack  And also street thugs.
    1
  1469. Like a Cuban citizen.
    1
  1470.  @flywithme7  LOL.
    1
  1471. That's what happens when you sacrifice family for career and lifestyle.
    1
  1472. Because production and transport costs are too high.
    1
  1473. <The PRIVATE construction developers would NEVER agree to build affordable housing without them PROFITING first. > And rightfully so. They're not building or renting anything at a loss. They're not a charity. <Government Housing is the only solution.> Just what Canada needs. More ghettoes and slums.
    1
  1474.  @5thelementcannabisproduction  Argentina's problems are entirely home-grown.
    1
  1475.  @Grant_S_M  And what is this progress? More debt? More high taxes and over-regulation? More vote-buying OOPS! I mean social programs? More inflation and high living costs?
    1
  1476.  @primmakinsofis614  It works for most 3rd-world countries.
    1
  1477. No. The government has done more than enough damage.
    1
  1478. Fear and at times a good economy.
    1
  1479. Defund the UN!
    1
  1480.  @tombottle8041  As done by socialists.
    1
  1481.  @jasonanderson5034  Make them take the hit = the poor lose their jobs or have their hours cut.
    1
  1482. Only to end up being costly as it requires additional subsidies to cover the costs of undercharging the occupants.
    1
  1483.  @lorenzomabalos9851  But if you want to get ahead in Quebec, it's either get with the program or GTFO.
    1
  1484.  @punkinhoot  Because Quebec has lower salaries and higher taxes.
    1
  1485. <Capitalism is a disgusting ripoff.> Something only a disgruntled socialist would say.
    1
  1486.  @derekrank4572  And produce a society of co-dependents who can barely do anything for themselves.
    1
  1487. Look at the costs to produce, transport and maintain.
    1
  1488. But Quebec has the bigger overall population.
    1
  1489. But pro-vaxxers have been filling up the hospitals for past year and a half.
    1
  1490. <That's just what facists do- have you not yet figured it out?> You mean communists. Well, either way, climate activists are not part of the working class they claim to have solidarity with just using them to advance their self-serving causes.
    1
  1491. Society doesn't owe disabled people anything. And at some point, even the disabled are going to have to do for themselves as they can't keep expecting society to hold their hand forever.
    1
  1492. With Canada being one of only 3 countries in the world without a private option. The other 2 are communist holdouts Cuba and North Korea.
    1
  1493.  @darlene2709  Easy to achieve that when Canada has barely 1/10 of the US's population.
    1
  1494. <I really wish we lived in a country where the government did what is best for its people no matter the cost, rather then what will most likely get the re-elected.> Exactly. Unfortunately, those governments don't last very long once the economy goes to crap.
    1
  1495.  @Trythis837  <Canada has a resource based economy and it will always be that way> Not with the way Ottawa is hampering Alberta's ability to produce and distribute resources.
    1
  1496. Socialism is also dependent in infinite growth.
    1
  1497. Some people are just too proud and entitled to consider moving to those places.
    1
  1498.  @rps1689  And for good reason. It's more profitable to do that than rent to a bad tenant that cannot be legally evicted in a timely manner.
    1
  1499.  @shanefistell8890  Enabled by the very same rent control and tenant's rights the people advocate.
    1
  1500. And so are a lot of Canadian citizens.
    1
  1501.  @JohnnyCageRock  That the government created?
    1
  1502. And a hefty bill to pay the piper.
    1
  1503. Not really because of the drought but of the Soviet-backed regime in charge.
    1
  1504.  @e-curb  Pretty much.
    1
  1505.  @levelzanimations  Fascism is a brand of socialism.
    1
  1506.  @lonewanderer1900  Fascists just merely tolerated capitalism only because it financed their agendas. Other than that, they loathed it every bit as much as the average communist.
    1
  1507.  @lonewanderer1900  And Benito Mussolini, the original fascist, was a card-carrying communist.
    1
  1508.  @lonewanderer1900  Which in turn raise the prices.
    1
  1509.  @Katrina-mx2sf  And for good reason. They would have got trashed.
    1
  1510. <nightmare would be in this situation if landlords don't jack up the rent> Maybe if the governments and banks didn't jack up the taxes, restrictions, mortgages and interest rates.
    1
  1511.  @leesmile8147  Canada Post is anything but self-sustaining.
    1
  1512. No it doesn't. You just wish it does.
    1
  1513.  @SuperVoidBoyz  Really bad. <but yet still gets re-elected even after holding a snap election in the middle of a pandemic.> You have only the GTA to thank for that.
    1
  1514. Especially for those who live in the city.
    1
  1515.  @Susan.Lewis.  But if you keep raising taxes driving out productivity and the middle class into the ground, the UBI experiment will be short-lived.
    1
  1516.  @jaac7027  They sold the industry out to Russia (USSR) a long time ago.
    1
  1517. You mean taxpayer-funded traphouses?
    1
  1518. John Tory just resigned and is no longer the Mayor of Toronto.
    1
  1519. Not before we have a tax and regulation decrease.
    1
  1520. Choosing career and lifestyle over family while young do have consequences.
    1
  1521.  @itsa-itsagames  Because the feds control the money allocated to the provinces.
    1
  1522.  @JJJohnson441  And it's legal.
    1
  1523.  @Neberheim  And among the top 20 in GDP per capita.
    1
  1524. Alberta = Croatia and Slovenia. Quebec = Serbia and the rest of the former Yugoslavia.
    1
  1525.  @fdinos69  Because you're setting yourself up to get victimized by proxy.
    1
  1526. <Our social programs , and healthcare are either breaking under the strain or are being strangled to death by conservative politicians on purpose.> Not in BC's case. <All the housing is bought up by speculators, investors, foreign investors, corporations etc Prices on everything are way up -> After all the mom-and-pop owners got taxed and regulated out of the market forced to either sell or leave the property to fall apart.
    1
  1527.  @1ABNDT  That's how it goes in Quebec.
    1
  1528. Because the elections are rigged.
    1
  1529.  @sympthylost  But fascism is from the same family tree as communism which is socialism.
    1
  1530. So?
    1
  1531.  @pierre-rose7783  Some of them are for the streets.
    1
  1532.  @xenxebra2559  Who needs survival skills when you can just collect a cheque for existing at all?
    1
  1533.  @fridaymanly  But his idol Che Guevara was.
    1
  1534.  @garyhaggquist740  A Liberal Trudeau?
    1
  1535. <U mean big businesses are really owned by Canadians any more.> Mostly those with their main HQ in Quebec.
    1
  1536. @Brinks Truck PREACH!
    1
  1537. Neither did Switzerland.
    1
  1538.  @piku5637  So do socialists.
    1
  1539. Yet currently, 70% of LCBO workers are part-timers.
    1
  1540. They already do.
    1
  1541.  @ryankalsbeek973  Due to provincial subsidies.
    1
  1542. Higher education is not a right.
    1
  1543. Well, currently white people only make up 69.8% of Canada's population.
    1
  1544. LOL <while socialist countries do.> Like Cuba and Venezuela with no running water, electricity, homes in disrepair, rotting food if they do have any food at all? <The problem is not Socialism but Milei’s neoliberal capitalism and Fascism destroying nations like Argentina caused by the capitalist right wing borrowing money from the IMF and neoliberal policies.> The problem is socialism as the IMF is the consequence of left-wing economic mismanagement. <China has shown that Communism works and has lifted millions of Chinese out of extreme poverty, > Only after Deng liberalized the economy and did away with most of Mao's policies along with Clinton's outsourcing of US manufacturing jobs in the 80's and 90's. Presently, China is regressing with Xi in charge.
    1
  1545.  @robertagren9360  And when people are rich, they can afford the higher prices.
    1
  1546. Superior team in an inferior league.
    1
  1547.  @JHW44  With that overpricing having plenty to do with government policy that affects production and distribution.
    1
  1548. The average Canadian can't handle full tuition.
    1
  1549. Don't forget the drastic hike in minimum wage.
    1
  1550. NS Power is every bit a monopoly that Hydro-Quebec is.
    1
  1551. 66% of Canadians are home-owners. Renters making up the majority only apply to Montreal and Vancouver.
    1
  1552. Summer has just begun.
    1
  1553.  @grege5074  Deadbeats are not who I would consider fellow Canadians.
    1
  1554.  @robertk1834  Because they have only so many resources and can help only so many people. Ceding welfare responsibilities to the government was a mistake.
    1
  1555. For what? The campgrounds are government property and the government has every right to have people removed from them.
    1
  1556. Simple. At who's expense is this free food going to come?
    1
  1557.  @piku5637  Fascism is a left-wing idea.
    1
  1558.  @AtteliaVel  Fascists are pro-government intervention.
    1
  1559. Especially to activists, bleeding hearts anyone with far-left views.
    1
  1560. LOL. And where's the money going to come from to pay for it? <go on and people can relax.> Until either inflation or supply shortages hit.
    1
  1561.  @maximusorbis2548  True.
    1
  1562. There is such thing in Saudi Arabia.
    1
  1563. Democracy does not work here either. Too many people voting for politicians who promise easy living at the expense of their neighbors and the country's economic viability.
    1
  1564. Because it's beneath them.
    1
  1565. Exactly.
    1
  1566. The Territories and the most Northern parts of provinces in general.
    1
  1567.  @levelzanimations  China only started prospering when it toned down the socialism.
    1
  1568.  @toedrag-release  <Socialism is were workers own the means of production.> Which can already be achieved in capitalism through entrepreneurship.
    1
  1569.  @toedrag-release  Only because socialism needs capitalism for that to happen.
    1
  1570. Put down the Liberal Kool-Aid.
    1
  1571.  @petercullen1624  Still drunk on that Liberal Kool-Aid, I see.
    1
  1572. But inflation has everything to do with why your hourly wages isn't sufficient enough to cover the cost of living.
    1
  1573. Exactly.
    1
  1574.  @MikeyPaper  With white people happily going along.
    1
  1575.  @rockyjohnson9243  Thanks to right-wingers needing cheap labor and and left-wingers needing easy votes.
    1
  1576. Yet the left think they can.
    1
  1577.  @hockey_highlights_and_more  And suffering like any other socialist country with shortages due to government restrictions on supply and production.
    1
  1578. And unrestricted power.
    1
  1579. Quebec needs to make more babies. Should not have ditched the Church.
    1
  1580. And Ottawa is about to let more Hong Kongers in no longer requiring a university education for eligibility.
    1
  1581. Governments don't create jobs. Entrepreneurs do. Governments need to lower the taxes and unnecessary regulations so that business can thrive.
    1
  1582. @massdebation No. Workers are free to start their own business and run it in such a manner. <The entire economy should be run this way- every business should be collectively owned, workplace democracy.> And collapse like post-Tito Yugoslavia did which actually had what you advocate.
    1
  1583.  @trackerjacker5467  Plenty of people on the street don't resort to risky business like she did to survive in spite of their lack of options. <because she definitely had a ton of options going for her and she chose a life on the streets.>
    1
  1584. And "real" Canadians who moved to British Columbia to live like hippies.
    1
  1585.  @YukiPyro  So did his father.
    1
  1586.  @laurenhanson327  Because they have to be imported.
    1
  1587. <mortgages are impossible to get for low income people,> And for good reason. They can't handle the amount being charged.
    1
  1588. New York had this with Giuliani.
    1
  1589. The average German, Swiss and Japanese are not in a hurry to immigrate to Canada as what they have is far superior.
    1
  1590. So would Cuba and Venezuela. They're already ahead of the curve.
    1
  1591.  @VK-ds2dw  It's to bankrupt Alberta just like the NEP of old.
    1
  1592. OUCH!
    1
  1593. The same UN currently run by a Marxist?
    1
  1594. I thought they were too good for those jobs.
    1
  1595. <If government really is sincere in solving this issue, they should revisit the authority they've given the Colleges (which again are private institutions protecting private corporate stakes over public health)> How can the Colleges be private when the government funds them if not outright own them?
    1
  1596.  @jasonanderson5034  That exist on the good graces of America.
    1
  1597. No. Standard totalitarian fare. That's how China, North Korea, Russia, Belarus, Iran, etc. do things.
    1
  1598.  @aavvcc  But socialism takes the cake.
    1
  1599. Not really. No one, not even the government, owes anyone housing.
    1
  1600.  @beatrizaceiton3691  Or an SO.
    1
  1601.  @AUG_XZABER  Record-breaking profits or do you mean record-breaking revenues as profits did not come until after all the record-breaking expenses were paid and there was still money left over?
    1
  1602.  @levelzanimations  Canada's supposedly high quality of life is due to US largesse. Canada is nothing without the US just like it used to be nothing without Britain.
    1
  1603.  @theastuteangler  <Homes are for living in.> Move to the rural area. That statement does not make sense for cities where people move a lot. Hence the renting.
    1
  1604. Thanks to a certain bill Biden orchestrated during the Clinton years.
    1
  1605. Maybe you do but not those who live in Toronto and Montreal.
    1
  1606. By jacking up the taxes on other low-incomes with the misfortune of having a job.
    1
  1607. <condominiums.> Condos are the only high-density housing legally allowed to be built within city limits.
    1
  1608. Alberta is prospering in spite of Ottawa.
    1
  1609. Because they won't toe the Democrat line?
    1
  1610. Does China have freedom of association or assembly?
    1
  1611.  @AllRequired  Or factors well within their control.
    1
  1612. You know that Liberals are in on the take, right?
    1
  1613.  @randomname9758  Not a valid excuse. Immigrants found a way in spite of the wages.
    1
  1614.  @fdinos69  They're new to the scene.
    1
  1615. I don't blame Quebec for Bill 101 or 96.
    1
  1616.  @zepher664  When his step-father was in charge?
    1
  1617.  @fabienneisore7831  No there wasn't. And homelessness under Harper wasn't anywhere near what it is under Trudeau. Plus, he didn't add a million immigrants and refugees to the overall population in any given year. He had the cajones to impose Visa restrictions on countries which Trudeau removed.
    1
  1618.  @thedel775  .<taxing the rich for equality > Equality does not exist. And many will piss away the wealth inevitably becoming a burden and threat to those who manage the wealth wisely.
    1
  1619.  @tntcanada420  Yet Liberal/NDP-run British Columbia is the worst of them all. Highest rent and eviction rate in the country. The poster boy for Canada's homelessness.
    1
  1620. So they can trash it resulting in a hefty repair bill and higher rent to make up for it?
    1
  1621. Until that "good" deed gets them in legal trouble.
    1
  1622. Namely the I (India) and C (China).
    1
  1623. Thanks to government lockdowns as they were deemed non-essential.
    1
  1624. Stop being envious.
    1
  1625.  @thedel775  How about stop living beyond your means and manage what you have better?
    1
  1626. Nobody as in English-speakers.
    1
  1627.  @mattl4802  Simple. You'll never have enough supply to meet that demand. And at who's expense will that free food be given?
    1
  1628. But the recent child killings were done with bare hands.
    1
  1629. Other than being born to a spoiled manchild who was fortunate enough to be elected PM.
    1
  1630.  @darlene2709  No she isn't. She's an anchor baby.
    1
  1631. And doing business with Russia.
    1
  1632. Only because it was a Conservative who got caught up.
    1
  1633. Argentina: world's most expensive government.
    1
  1634. Actually yes it does need to at least be financially solvent. Privatization is a thing for a reason.
    1
  1635.  @leb1969  Due to landing fees by the federal government and Canada's sheer land mass and few populated areas making it costly to travel domestically.
    1
  1636.  @rps1689  Complacency.
    1
  1637. And the current Liberal Party = PSUV north. The PSUV is the name of the current ruling government of Venezuela.
    1
  1638. Poverty is a consequence.
    1
  1639. I think you missed the memo. That only applies to conservatives.
    1
  1640. Remove zoning restrictions.
    1
  1641. <Until teachers can be held legally accountable for a childs outcome, they ought to stay in their lane.> They're not, because they're the indoctrination wing of the government.
    1
  1642. Another Marxist bites the dust.
    1
  1643. He's just trying to finish what his step-father started.
    1
  1644. Only for it to get taxed away.
    1
  1645. Under supervision of people in suits.
    1
  1646. The same First Nation that can't lay off the booze?
    1
  1647. Communism does not support freedom including that of association and assembly.
    1
  1648.  @osmosis321  They made record profits thanks to record inflation caused by the government.
    1
  1649.  @osmosis321  Record profits or really record revenues to offset record costs with the results being the standard 3% profit margin?
    1
  1650. Agreed.
    1
  1651. Exactly.
    1
  1652. At a government-run enterprise.
    1
  1653.  @HWEspana  Besides condos.
    1
  1654. And poor humans suck even more. .<yhe few take what should be shared! > If the world has an abundance, then there's no need to share as everyone can get their own. It's not the rich's fault that some of the poor can't manage what they have and end up being a burden unto others.
    1
  1655. But it's not possible due to government meddling.
    1
  1656.  @freeisalwaysme  We all but completely already have that.
    1
  1657.  @NoReplyAsset  Yes humanity as a whole. The 99% are every bit as depraved. Hence the higher crime.
    1
  1658. But the vaxxed are every bit a threat to others as the unvaxxed.
    1
  1659.  @DEonaraR  Can you?
    1
  1660.  @professorakiba434  <Quit voting in austerity > First quit voting in debt, reckless spending and mismanagement.
    1
  1661.  @goldenhourkodak  Sure it would. A lot of those millions are at the bottom for reason and it has nothing to do with the rich.
    1
  1662. Germany is struggling right now.
    1
  1663. Not in Canada. Most nursing homes are provincial government-owned and operated.
    1
  1664.  @tarekadam9652  Follow your own advice, because I think you're confusing Canada with the US.
    1
  1665. The women and children are just collateral damage Israel is willing to accept to defend its own.
    1
  1666.  @primmakinsofis614  Woman kills child = they don't care. Man kills child = OUTRAGE!
    1
  1667. Increasing wages will just increase operating costs ands ultimately overall living costs through inflation.
    1
  1668.  @Merakis100  Price control doesn't work. Legislated profit-sharing only for companies to collapse due to lack of reinvestment.
    1
  1669.  @somethingnew3517  It's pride. Pride is the father of all other sins.
    1
  1670.  @therainforest4314  Like: Walmart Costco Canadian Tire Esso Petro Canada McDonald's Pharmaprix (Shopper's Drug Mart) (insert big-time supermarket chain) Apple etc.
    1
  1671.  @Zuzana1fan  ROFL.
    1
  1672.  @bobwoods1302  Especially when you have a career and lifestyle to support.
    1
  1673. As the Bible say, HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER.
    1
  1674.  @davidjang6538  A product of a society that has gotten hedonistic and too liberal for its own good.
    1
  1675. And the left are in charge.
    1
  1676. A leftist utopia.
    1
  1677. Rob Ford? Dude has been dead for 6 years. Plus, you mean to say Justin Trudeau as Doug has nothing to with the feds.
    1
  1678. LOL. As if (unionized) employees aren't any less greedy.
    1
  1679.  @NatTurnerswitBurnerz  Like the Arabs?
    1
  1680. LMAO
    1
  1681.  @iamzuckerburger  Bernie doesn't live here.
    1
  1682.  @Wildstar40  Or Harvey Weinstein. Like Cosby, he recently got off as his conviction was overturned.
    1
  1683. Because that was the price Canada was willing to pay to prevent US annexation.
    1
  1684. With its own people like the woman in the video getting sacrificed.
    1
  1685.  @J87169  Because they foolishly embraced feminism and other left-wing policies like mass immigration.
    1
  1686. Like Jagmeet Singh.
    1
  1687. How about no? The last things Canada need are 0% vacancy rates and new renters struggling to find housing.
    1
  1688. Liberals are even more so.
    1
  1689. LOL. How in the world is giving people more money going to reduce their need for alcohol and drugs? Spoken like a a typical enabler masquerading as compassionate.
    1
  1690.  @chanell68  Under far-left leadership.
    1
  1691. Namely the Western World.
    1
  1692. Canada is barely capitalist anymore.
    1
  1693. Including activists.
    1
  1694. Canada = oversized and underpopulated.
    1
  1695. Exactly.
    1
  1696. What you're seeing right now is a reaffirmation of Churchill's argument against democracy and voting should have never been a right.
    1
  1697. It's not the Conservatives' fault the Liberals mismanaged the healthcare system to the point that privatization is entertained.
    1
  1698. Except Haitians, Arabs and Latin Americans.
    1
  1699. While those who chose to get vaccinated get to enjoy a hospital with no staff as they got laid off for declining that clot-shot.
    1
  1700. Exactly. And there was no rush to find a cure in 2009 either.
    1
  1701. There's hardly anything unregulated about the housing market.
    1
  1702. I witnessed that 2 years ago. A homeless woman sleeping in the entrance lobby while leaving for work.
    1
  1703. @F.u.c.k You But the alphabet community don't claim her.
    1
  1704. She benefited from Joe Biden via Bill Clinton's Crime Bill that introduced mass incarceration,
    1
  1705. <People have been flagrantly selfish in their approach to COVID-19 because of "Violating the constitution", "Invading privacy", or "Our body, our choice".... when forgetting that their selfish choices are directly harming others, and when lockdowns happen again, damaging the economy.> Yet ironically, the only selfish people here are those to got the jab not because they care about protecting others, but because their social privileges were on the line.
    1
  1706.  @wfcoaker1398  Who needs that when the Libs are selling this country out to their Chinese and WEF heroes?
    1
  1707. Just ask Rudolph Giuliani.
    1
  1708. LOL. This is what happens when you give up freedom for security.
    1
  1709. Exactly.
    1
  1710.  @msmysticstorytime  <Atleast she owns a home,> Just like a good 66% of Canadians.
    1
  1711. The carbon tax has plenty to do with it as it affected production and distribution of food.
    1
  1712. Government intervention.
    1
  1713. Very much.
    1
  1714. Worldwide how? This is just a Western thing.
    1
  1715.  @jimlambrick4642  Pyongyang and Havana don't have a housing crisis. Nor do Caracas.
    1
  1716.  @bartman59laj55  No doubt.
    1
  1717. While the protestors are just protesting for their own subjugation and death.
    1
  1718. You never had such a right let alone for them to take away.
    1
  1719. LOL. Those are glorified flophouses that the Western world did away with due to the squalid living conditions and the questionable character of the people who lived in them, namely single men.
    1
  1720. <The grocery chains are not stabilizing their prices on basic foods, > Just like the government isn't lowering the taxes on basic food production and distribution.
    1
  1721.  @gregorymckenna6609  Does China default on its loans or steal trade from other countries like Cuba?
    1
  1722. It's just that they can no longer keep trading with Cuba for free.
    1
  1723. Pookie and RayRay are not going to like that.
    1
  1724.  @Meyers1793  <have your properties expropriated.>
    1
  1725. Thanks to the 1994 Crime Bill courtesy of one-time Clinton Administration member and current POTUS, Joe Biden.
    1
  1726. The only thing "undebatable" here is the current ruling Liberal Party has to go. They are toxic.
    1
  1727. Russia and China are no longer in the business of supporting deadbeats for free.
    1
  1728. That's because they both public and private healthcare.
    1
  1729. Like a true leftist. His delusions of grandeur supersedes whatever compassion and concern he supposedly have.
    1
  1730.  @PatrickFDolan  But its does have a suicide rate that's above the European average.
    1
  1731.  @keilana6  <No problem for new luxury apartment complexes.> Thanks to bureaucracy, those are the only kind of housing that can be legally and feasibly built.
    1
  1732. Plus, students are exempt from the foreign buyers' ban.
    1
  1733. Another Liberal legacy.
    1
  1734.  @brukakas  Or the Greeks.
    1
  1735. Biden doesn't live here. This is on Trudeau.
    1
  1736.  @dekonstruction  Yet the left still practice it.
    1
  1737. And empty shelves.
    1
  1738.  @Canadian_Eh_I  <Working that many hours building someone else's business is called slavery.> How so? You were not forced to accept the job of building someone else's business.
    1
  1739. Woke culture like all forms of collectivism do not believe in individual freedom or agency.
    1
  1740. No. Canada used to exist as a stepping stone to get into the US. And somewhat still is.
    1
  1741.  @Sam19509  <Many Americans are moving to Canada because of the multiculturalism, healthcare and much better public safety. > Hardly.
    1
  1742.  @travisbiko8990  And rightfully so as no one's working for free.
    1
  1743. Not really. Only Liberals and NDPers live in Vancouver.
    1
  1744.  @moontides7220  If you're making 50K a year and still poor, you're probably living beyond your means.
    1
  1745. Don't be denying the poor their agency. <We live in a world of Abundance...> But most people are wasteful.
    1
  1746. Socialism will not save you.
    1
  1747. Because they're expendable.
    1
  1748. <Why would you leave a country with free healthcare> Because it's not available (in a timely manner) or reliable? < go to a country where only the rich get medical care?> According to who exactly? The poor in the US have no problem getting healthcare.
    1
  1749.  @mstar7520  Ford is not the PM of Canada.
    1
  1750. It is. They're free to move back to their cheaper COL home states as after all many of them are from out of state.
    1
  1751. <The rental increases each time a tenant moves out is a culprit.. what was once a $700 rental in 2015 is now $2300...> Thanks to higher property taxes, repair and maintenance costs, insurance premiums, etc. Yesterday's price is not today's price.
    1
  1752. Quebec is not in the same boat as Ontario. The people are fleeing from there due to language politics, not living costs.
    1
  1753. As if the people will use that money wisely.
    1
  1754. Enabled by Left-Wing Liberal psychopaths who couldn't be bothered to close the airports.
    1
  1755. They're already unionized in Quebec.
    1
  1756. Canada is China's ______.
    1
  1757.  @Persepolis8564  The only people who travel to Iran are Iranian immigrants who have family there.
    1
  1758.  @BornKafir  <They need to pay for maintaining the development they benefit from.> They already do and then some unlike the bottom 50%. <There just isn't enough political incentive to tax the rich.> Because it ultimately hurts the poor in the end.
    1
  1759. While Justin, Jagmeet and the rest of the liberal left are nothing but wannabe communists.
    1
  1760. We already did that. One problem, though. Students and temporary residents were exempt from it.
    1
  1761. Yet the 3rd most expensive to live in.
    1
  1762. The junkies are exempt from the law.
    1
  1763.  @compulsiveviewingmaterials  But the carbon and fuel tax was domestic. So were the restrictions on fertilizer use.
    1
  1764. In all fairness, even if the communities do get it, most of it will be squandered and the communities end up little better off.
    1
  1765.  @bikingD  Who introduced TFSA, Public Transit tax credit (that Trudeau scrapped) and WITB (now known as CWB)? Stephen Harper.
    1
  1766.  @bikingD  Who curbed mass immigration with visa restrictions on certain countries? Harper.
    1
  1767. LOL. No.
    1
  1768. You know the individual Walmart/Loblaws/IGA outlets are independently owned, right? And they're operating on rather thin profit margins.
    1
  1769.  @bennyraichu  He was adopted.
    1
  1770. And people need to remember that higher education is a privilege, not a right.
    1
  1771. Ontario hardly has any French-speakers aside from Ottawa.
    1
  1772.  @CanadaMMA  Poverty is a consequence not the cause.
    1
  1773.  @Cutlerypotato  Exactly.
    1
  1774. Don't you just love FPTP?
    1
  1775. How so? You know they're legally on the hook if that food get someone sick, right?
    1
  1776. <so the capitalist solution is to just make more people poorer... > So what's the socialist solution? Borrow and steal more money from "the rich" to delay the inevitable?
    1
  1777. But government greed takes the cake.
    1
  1778. But most of the gun crimes are committed in the cities with strict gun-control virtually all of which are ran by Democrats.
    1
  1779. Poverty, mental illness, poor upbringing, etc.
    1
  1780. There is one in Iraq. And Yemen is already a war-zone.
    1
  1781. Which was a good thing. Go get your own wealth so can have something for your kids to inherit.
    1
  1782. But they were well-intentioned, though.
    1
  1783.  @MichaelKing-tp6le  Just ask Ukraine, the Baltics and Poland.
    1
  1784.  @freeisalwaysme  The consequences of rent control. Mom-and-pop property owners not legally able to set the rents accordingly to cover basic operating and maintenance costs forced to sell and get out of the market while those who can afford to put with the bureaucracy come to fill the void. <Rents rise 2.3% housing develops don't care to make affordable units.> Affordable units = financial loss.
    1
  1785.  @fraudalert3550  What about the things well within your control? Living beyond your means, not saving or investing, poor budgeting, misplaced priorities, etc? You damn right you have no money. <NO ONE WANTS TO HIRE YOU> No one owes you a job. Maybe no one wants to hire you because of your poor work ethic, history, attitude, etc. <SELF MEDICATE TO CALM THE NERVES,> That's a pretty immature way of dealing with hardship.
    1
  1786.  @fraudalert3550  You're the one that's not thinking. It's not the government's job to bail out those who didn't have the foresight to save and invest during their working years for the inevitable time they get let go due to the very reasons you just stated and are now paying the price. And who said you needed to be a Premier or white-collar worker to do that?
    1
  1787.  @jasonk8775  Ditto for Ben Carson. And he grew up in a single-mother household.
    1
  1788. But for how long? Especially when the government runs out of wealth to tax.
    1
  1789.  @failedabortion1894  Exactly.
    1
  1790. No. This is socialism. Human life sacrificed for "the greater good."
    1
  1791. Equality doesn't exist. And where is the money going to come from to funs this Universal Basic Income?
    1
  1792.  @bradcanning875  Namely locales run by Democrats who are the US's version of the Liberals and NDP.
    1
  1793. Who's we? If the virus is so deadly, how come barely 1% of people died from it thus far?
    1
  1794. They'll do that when local students start paying the real tuition cost.
    1
  1795. <Why can't cities put pressure on builders to make more affordable units?> How do you expect builders to make affordable homes in the faces of high land, permit and building costs?
    1
  1796. But to most Canadians and immigrants, it's either Toronto, Vancouver or death.
    1
  1797. While governments, banks, utility and insurance companies are doing the same to landlords.
    1
  1798.  @SpreadGuts  Namely Alberta and Saskatchewan.
    1
  1799.  @titusmccarthy  So are the vast majority of Liberal politicians.
    1
  1800.  @zachweyrauch2988  The embargo does not stop Cuba from getting food aid and remittances from the world's most powerful nation.
    1
  1801. Socialism cannot function without tyranny or foreign aid to compensate for its inefficient way of supporting itself.
    1
  1802. But Canada is too open, tolerant and friendly for that.
    1
  1803. With some being ladies of the night.
    1
  1804. And socialism is even more gross. The people in the video would have gotten the Romanian orphan treatment at best.
    1
  1805.  @sommmeguy  You mean a CINO Premier.
    1
  1806. Undermined by bureaucracy.
    1
  1807. LOL.
    1
  1808. <Only under communism will everyone be Equal!> In poverty, misery and repression that is. Everyone except the people in charge and the privileged.
    1
  1809.  @vwgames49  No. That's socialism. The government and the privileged = 1%. Everyone else = 99%.
    1
  1810. The media hasn't mentioned vaccination status in the last 6-7 months conveniently around the time the vaxxed started overcrowding the hospitals en masse.
    1
  1811. Apparently Canada has to ask the UK for permission to use their own land.
    1
  1812. Just like it all but completely destroyed Europe.
    1
  1813.  @piku5637  Basic human need =/= human right.
    1
  1814. <how about building small home that real people can afford.> Government made small homes costly and illegal to build.
    1
  1815. Or even the Maritimes?
    1
  1816. But many still wouldn't be able to get such housing as they would be deemed ineligible. Not a senior, single mom, meth-head or earning part-time worker salary at best.
    1
  1817.  @chronometer9931  <Companies need to be made to pay their workers a fair share> Define fair share.
    1
  1818. Yet interestingly, it was the provincial Liberals who began the erosion of Anglo rights with Bill 22 making French the official language of Quebec.
    1
  1819. While a lot of the Blacks that don't like him are the Pookie and RayRay types.
    1
  1820. And the people who vote for them are naive idiots.
    1
  1821. Something a Liberal/NDP-voter would say.
    1
  1822.  @frank5d289  To take advantage of the local women.
    1
  1823. Becoming the UN's wet dream come true.
    1
  1824.  @sirsquirrel6176  World's highest crime-rate? Having to flee to Trinidad & Tobago of all places for food and refuge when not prostituting themselves in Colombia?
    1
  1825.  @ef888  Nope. Try South Africa, run by far-left Soviet-founded ANC.
    1
  1826.  @ef888  Until the oil prices dropped and he got caught up in scandals.
    1
  1827. With 66% Canadians being home-owners.
    1
  1828. Like Atheism does in China and North Korea.
    1
  1829. <Go to Australia the minimum wage there is $23.23 let that sink in if you are a cashier…. > But Australia also has a housing crisis and is top 5 in homelessness per capita among developed countries.
    1
  1830. She's a victim alright. A victim of her own ignorance and stupidity fuelled by greed and laziness.
    1
  1831. In Quebec's case, English.
    1
  1832.  @Vostro-  That's if you want the country bankrupt.
    1
  1833. <Guess whose propping up the real estate market with demand for housing lol.> Because students are exempt from the foreign buyers ban.
    1
  1834. And then renters have the never to wonder why there are no places to rent.
    1
  1835. Canada could definitely use a guy like Milei.
    1
  1836. Virtually all of which have public and private healthcare.
    1
  1837. You mean the government.
    1
  1838.  @bmoshareholderappleshareho855  That's the people Klaus Schwab referred to as "useless eaters."
    1
  1839. They're beholden to China, not the country that actually voted for them.
    1
  1840. At who's expense?
    1
  1841. Including Europeans who ran from war or the socialist takeover that followed.
    1
  1842. Exactly.
    1
  1843.  @1eftnut  What's so racist about it?
    1
  1844.  @1eftnut  This is not about fame. This is about the people barely giving a rat's tail about the victims' well-being while they were alive all of a sudden caring now that they're dead.
    1
  1845.  @jacquelinehembrey4825  Translation: tax anyone doing good for themselves.
    1
  1846.  @jacquelinehembrey4825  I don't care about being loyal to them. They don't owe anyone much less you anything.
    1
  1847.  @jacquelinehembrey4825  They already do and then some while the bottom 50% account for only 3-4% of all taxes paid.
    1
  1848.  @jacquelinehembrey4825  In exchange for employing people and contributing a crapload to the local economy.
    1
  1849.  @jacquelinehembrey4825  Envious. You seem to have an obsession with the rich.
    1
  1850.  @jacquelinehembrey4825  Also business taxes that the average person doesn't pay as he/she doesn't own any business.
    1
  1851.  @jacquelinehembrey4825  Warren Buffet doesn't live here.
    1
  1852. They always been.
    1
  1853. No. Developers are not overcharging anymore than governments are overtaxing and regulating.
    1
  1854. LOL
    1
  1855. But weren't advocates 5 years ago demanding the minimum wage to be $15 an hour to make life livable?
    1
  1856.  @In-ShaMbLeS  LOL. Or they can just simply close down the stores leaving everyone with no place to walk out with everything at.
    1
  1857. <Single family dwellings are a thing of the past.> Not really. People are still having families albeit not as much as they used to. <If we are to grow, we need people. > Not bachelors or childless couples. <Density is the one and only answer.> Only to become an overcrowded, crime and disease-ridden hellhole your ancestors fled from.
    1
  1858. Just like the current President of Chile, Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales.
    1
  1859. Does Abbotsford have jobs?
    1
  1860. But the world would have been forced to make a choice. US imperialism or Soviet imperialism.
    1
  1861. Along with the quality of service.
    1
  1862.  @titusmccarthy  Why don't you wake up and stop reading left-wing propaganda? Canada was better off under Harper.
    1
  1863. No. The significant cause is out of control spending and no economic productivity to support it. Also that carbon tax. Vote out the government!
    1
  1864. So are land values, property taxes and local bureaucracy.
    1
  1865.  @Mu5096rdgh  LOL. Why should they give up? What freedom? How is submitting to tyranny freedom?
    1
  1866.  @bradcanning875  Either way, housing is not a right.
    1
  1867.  @mathias8627  Says a greedy grifter.
    1
  1868.  @LisaTurner-ht4ox  Higher rent is the result of higher taxes and costs to own and maintain the property.
    1
  1869.  @justadude117X  <push wealth redistribution> And make everyone poorer in the process.
    1
  1870.  @justadude117X  BC already has rent control yet has the highest rent and housing prices in the country.
    1
  1871. <Where hydro is not available, only nuclear power makes any sense.> If you want to be the next Chernobyl and Fukushima.
    1
  1872.  @9UaYXxB  Yes it does. Liberals and Conservatives are well-funded. And in Quebec, you can write off political donations on the provincial tax return.
    1
  1873.  @clairemercer3099  They already do and then some. 70% of all taxes paid.
    1
  1874. He's a Quebecois. And many like him don't consider themselves Canadian.
    1
  1875.  @paulmaclean-kr1qm  Canada? Best country in the world? According to who?
    1
  1876. LOL. That's a nice joke.
    1
  1877.  @briendoyle3823  Poverty is a consequence, not a cause.
    1
  1878.  @darlene2709  LOL. Please! You just think for the establishment that indoctrinated you.
    1
  1879. No. That would be Quebec.
    1
  1880. Try China. 9-9-6 anyone?
    1
  1881. Namely welfare recipients and part-time workers.
    1
  1882. Well, 68% of Canadians are homeowners.
    1
  1883.  @cliffordhanson9224  Nobody cares about Clifford either.
    1
  1884. Elected by an equally crappy populace.
    1
  1885. Would that sit well with the Quebec government?
    1
  1886. Plus they're running out of people to work and tax to keep the system solvent.
    1
  1887. 66% of Canadians own their homes. The lack of rental spaces is largely a big-city issue.
    1
  1888. Or happily support far-left terrorist groups as in the case of the current President of Colombia.
    1
  1889.  @shaq9361  It creates wisdom.
    1
  1890. Isn't Iran backed by China?
    1
  1891. Name a more iconic duo than communism and food shortages.
    1
  1892. Like they were when Harper was in charge and Canada was much better off?
    1
  1893. The funny thing is Hitler was a progressive.
    1
  1894. Just like the government jacking up the taxes and making the currency worthless.
    1
  1895.  @jasonanderson5034  And in turn cause supply shortages.
    1
  1896. <The middle class is slowly getting wiped out.> Just how socialists like it. After all, middle class = bourgeoisie.
    1
  1897. Like Justin and Jagmeet. Both with net worth of $80 000 000 each.
    1
  1898. But Mexico still has a far-left President.
    1
  1899. Like in Brazil?
    1
  1900. Government = slave-owners. Everyone else = slaves.
    1
  1901. Exactly.
    1
  1902. <Now the Canadian culture is being lost in places like Richmond where everything is catered towards the Chinese! My mom is an immigrant but she worked hard and learned the language. A lot of these people still can’t even barely say hello in English because there is no need. Just sad!!!> And the legacy of Justin's father lives on.
    1
  1903. Simple. No investment or profit in housing = no housing built or maintained.
    1
  1904.  @2cents483  But in Canada, there are far more owners than renters. 68% of Canadians are owners and account for the majority of all government tax revenue.
    1
  1905.  @ZenCorvus  Just like the Democrats screwed over Iran.
    1
  1906.  @tailrj  Hitchhiking?
    1
  1907.  @MrUranium238  AirBnB's are a consequence of socialist over-regulation.
    1
  1908. Left-wing bleeding-heart hug-a-thug policies at work.
    1
  1909. Just like people like you using identity to excuse your own hate and bigotry.
    1
  1910.  @arkoutarkout3654  You mean had like the Head Tax.
    1
  1911.  @sabinecarnera6877  By allowing the extreme left to govern it?

  1912. But left-wingers are already doing this with their promotion and legislation of debauchery and degeneracy.
    1
  1913.  @Flaccid_Child1  Like West vs. East? Quebec vs. the Rest of Canada?
    1
  1914. Deserve what? Even human rights are a privilege.
    1
  1915.  @jgp7414  So what's the solution? Government-run companies that are every bit as greedy?
    1
  1916. Pretty much. At the expense of the people their belief in lockdowns put out of work.
    1
  1917. Be it at the hands of Putin or Stalin.

  1919.  @CassieAngelica  Doesn't matter.
    1
  1920.  @CassieAngelica  Like the typical nihilist. One of atheism's by-products. Atheism being an oxymoron because atheists will happily believe in anything as God.
    1
  1921. Not really. Humanity is as corrupt as it always was.
    1
  1922. <There is no such consequence for those running the health care system!> That would be the provincial government.
    1
  1923. Exactly as Justin's step-father intended when he permitted the mass immigration of non-Europeans.
    1
  1924.  @mathias8627  But people go through this, because poor past choices leads to undesirable present consequences.
    1
  1925.  @fabienneisore7831  Wrong! Try the Liberals under Chretien. And healthcare wasn't the only thing he cut.
    1
  1926. And then you wonder why AirBnB is a thing.
    1
  1927.  @ALeaud  Way too extreme left.
    1
  1928. Until there are no corporations to tax and anyone who owns anything of value is next.
    1

    1

  1976.  @TentaclePentacle  The accusations only started coming about when the women aged out and stopped being relevant in the industry.
    1
  1977.  Rocksteady246  ROFL. Pretty much.

  1988. <Women cannot live in the world as safely as men. It’s a simple fact.> Yet men make up the vast majority of assault and murder victims.

Hence their dependence on men for (physical) safety and why societies tend to fall apart when men are taken out of equation.

  2063. Apparently, India is that bad.
    1
  2064.  @invoker7826  But it doesn't have the skilled personnel to make much use of them. Plus, it doesn't help that it rather rely on imports as local resource industries have been all but completely taxed and regulated out of existence.
    1
  2065.  @invoker7826  <Most skilled migrants to Canada work as Uber drivers, so Canada is already not utilizing its skilled migrants at all. > Because they don't that "Canadian experience." Plus, most of the jobs skilled migrants are trying to get are controlled by the provinces.
    1
  2066. Canada was better off under Harper.
    1
  2067.  @danieldickson8591  But she is another far-left Marxist just like the guy she's replacing.

    1
  2092.  @whitepanther7041  LOL. <the government will have to tax the businesses then...> Which is passed onto the consumer in the form of higher retail prices. Never mind higher taxes on anyone who still have a job barely getting by themselves.

  2109. Sure he will. And how would you know that?
    1
  2110.  @kenwin5845  And?
    1
  2111. Which will cripple the country's finances inevitably requiring austerity and reforms.
    1

Zoning restrictions and bureaucracy made it possible. <The government was conned into letting these immigrants into the country on the false promise that they would create businesses and jobs when in fact these folks were looking to hide or launder their money.> No. The government let them in on their own accord. They needed the votes and that foreign investment to compensate for all the local industries they taxed and regulated to insignificance.
    1
  2138. <Canadian salaries are very low,> They're not very low. They're just inadequate. <But the point is, even a single person with a full-time job should at least be able to afford to rent a one bedroom in a city where the majority of the work is. > That's what the outskirts are for.

    1
  2371. You need to cut immigration.
    1
  2372. Regulation = higher prices and less supply available.
    1
  2373. Agreed.
    1
  2374.  @PolicyWise-t4h  No. Castro destroyed whatever industry it had making them poorer and dependent on imports.

  2381. In favor of what? Small stores that don't have the capacity to handle the high customer volume?
    1
  2382.  @hahah2495  Small business is just inadequate to serve the needs of the big city.
    1
  2383. Because women's sports = high-school boys' sports. At least with high-school boys' sports, you don't have to pay to watch it.
    1
  2384. Which only means high rent and living costs for everyone else to compensate.
    1
  2385. <It bothers me that they will shutdown a small local diner for seating 8 people instead of 6, on the same day that they are totally fine with cramming 250 international passengers into a recycled air tube for 15 hours because god forbid the airlines and corporations flying their staff around lose any more money. > Or the government getting accused of racism and xenophobia by minority activist groups and foreign governments.
    1
  2386. <Military take over is not evil but a warning and sign that African politicians are very corrupt. Africa is waking up big time. Next, should be my country Nigeria.> Which had Sani Abacha?

    1
  2388.  @edward8972  <greedy politicians.> And greedy and gullible citizens who happily voted for them.

  2389. Actually, yes it is as the government have proven once again they cannot be trusted to run anything efficiently.
    1
  2390. <The real problem is the initial cost of the house. > Due to high land values, bureaucracy and building costs.
    1

    1
  2392.  @waynegabler6570  LOL
    1
  2393.  @canadiangirl  Not really. Women are barely competition to high-school boys. You can get a similar level of talent and performance from high-school boys for free.
    1
  2394. And replace them with other elites.
    1
  2395. No. It's because people live beyond their means.

  2396. <And when I asked if I could get my E.I. if I wanted to study NURSING (a short intensive 18 month course..) to have a future AND help out.. I was told NO WAY! If you go to school instead of staying home and doing nothing..

    1
  2397. Quebec wants the benefits of independence but none of the costs as it still insist on depending on Canadian financial and military protection. Something that Stephen Harper shut down Pauline Marois on.
    1
  2398.  @larrymunn5279  No. You're living beyond your means if you can't budget spending more than you earn.
    1
  2399. No. Try greedy governments.
    1
  2400.  @Crazyman1212  The government is the one that restricts what can be built, how many and where while charging high fees and prices for land.

    1
  2403. LOL.
    1
  2404.  @MicahRdr  Exactly. And if anything, Justin Trudeau is its perfect representation. Inoffensive, tolerant, effeminate, two-faced, passive-aggressive, spiteful, pretentious, corny, etc.
    1
  2405. Because Canadians are in no position to pay full market-rate tuition to keep said colleges and universities afloat.
    1
  2406.  @thecanadianempire8767  Fascism is a left-wing idea.
    1
  2407. And you wonder why democracy is not a sustainable form of governance. The government is just a reflection of the citizenry that elected them.
    1
  2408. <but the only thing he's done right is to increase the inclusion rate on capital gains for taxation. > Which the middle class and anyone who stands to inherit anything from their parents will be paying dearly for. <and housing is a basic needs; just like food and water.> Basic need is not a right. <Housing should not have been an investment tool in the first place,> Said by those who long forfeited their own futures.

  2410. But it's Crown property.

  2411.  @doubled57690  Yet made Chile prosperous in the long run becoming the 6th wealthiest country in the Americas. Chile was the one CIA coup that actually worked.
    1
  2412. And tents.
    1
  2413. But if it wasn't for her, those employees wouldn't have a job. And most business-owners are not that wealthy, especially small business-owners.
    1
  2414. Neither is socialism.
    1
  2415. The real impact is the government dis-incentivizing of long-term rentals.

  2431. Metrolinx is owned by the provincial government.
    1
  2432.  @sexygeek8996  Exactly.
    1
  2433. But in Quebec, that's negated by higher taxes and lower salaries.
    1
  2434.  @Huckster2367  Not really. Judging by the description, the suspects were most likely Arab or Asian.
    1
  2435. There's nothing stopping renters from doing the same except their own short-sightedness.

    1
  2441.  @aprilyeo5636  Who's no one?

    1
  2443. LOL. So you can exacerbate the problem further?
    1
  2444.  @mayjailersirens  No they don't. They can earn it like everyone else.

    1
  2453. LOL. Pretty much.
    1
  2454. You mean the Greater Toronto Area.
    1
  2455. Take it up with your city mayors.
    1
  2456.  @TheAircool1  But the vast majority don't in spite of having a few things in their lives go south.
    1
  2457.  @ahealthkit2745  Except few people actually go homeless over a minor treatable disease.
    1
  2458. <We will never become the utopian vision we once hoped for.> And that's a good thing, because that utopian vision would have turned out dystopian anyway. <academics,> They're little more than aspiring elites as they live in ivory towers.

    1
  2460. All of that is under the federal government's authority.
    1
  2461. LMAO.
    1
  2462. What world is that? The only reason English is the lingua franca of the world was due to the United States becoming the undisputed superpower after WW2.
    1
  2463. The police are employed by economic power.
    1
  2464. Exactly. Just like they held power for most of the time the residential schools were up and running.
    1
  2465. If you voted for either Trudeau Sr. or his step-son, you voted for your own displacement.
    1
  2466. <Globally, there are enough resources for the entire world to thrive> Not really as some will mismanage them and end up impoverished.

  2467.  @person-yu8cu  Truck drivers are capitalists now?
    1
  2468. <Multiculturalism is a disaster.> Just ask Ethiopia and whatever's left of Yugoslavia.
    1
  2469. <Home is a "life's basic necessity"> Maybe, but no one is owed it or obligated to provide it.
    1
  2470. And without Canada, Quebec = Eastern Europe.
    1
  2471. <Canadian government has absolutely no intent in of housing its citizens> Housing in Canada is under the province and city's authority. <Supply dwindles because we are simply not building affordable housing at any where near the same rate at which we build luxury housing. > Because thanks to government restrictions, those are the only high-density housing legally allowed to be built within city limits.
    1
  2472.  @thebowandbullet  <Everyone who can work and works full-time should make enough money to meet their basic needs.> True. But household debt is a thing for a reason. Too many people living beyond their means.
    1
  2473. Isn't Sweden the country every other leftist love to tout as the model for all 1st-world countries to follow?
    1
  2474. While Libs are merely relics of the Soviet Politburo.
    1
  2475. Thanks to PASOK.
    1
  2476.  @elena2125  Hardly. Old people are just paying the price for not taking their futures seriously when they worked.
    1
  2477.  @cosmoray9750  < Instead of building affordable homes> That municipal and provincial governments made too costly and all but completely illegal to build with bureaucracy. <These builders are building two and three garage homes.> One of the only kinds of homes they're legally allowed to build with a decent ROI.
    1
  2478. The US embargo has nothing to do with this.
    1
  2479. The government is not mommy and daddy.
    1
  2480.  @Carolinapetroska  Just what Canada needs. More taxes and regulations.
    1
  2481.  @guymontag2948  Left-wing media.
    1
  2482. End results = shortages and higher prices for whatever homes are still around. <Capitalism is not working.> LOL
    1
  2483.  @views-kb6sv  But that's how socialism is often practiced.
    1
  2484. The rich account for 70% of all taxes paid. <Politicians have to work for the people> And end up like Argentina that cannot institute much-needed reforms due to fear of unrest and ouster as the economy cannot support a lot of what the people demand.
    1
  2485. Time to make drugs a capital offense.
    1
  2486. Like any country worth its salt.
    1
  2487. Pierre is not the PM. Justin Trudeau is.
    1
  2488. Or a West-hating Westerner.
    1
  2489. English Canada should have followed Quebec's lead and enforce their language and culture laws.
    1
  2490. A by-product of the Crime Bill Biden was the mastermind of.
    1
  2491. The government didn't welcome Air BnB. They made Air BnB thanks to making long-term rentals costly and unviable.
    1
  2492.  @Dstinct  And you can thank those who voted for Trudeau Sr and mass immigration.
    1
  2493. ROFL

    1
  2496.  @JEdwarrd  Namely Liberal-voters from Ontario and Quebec.
    1
  2497. Laws are nothing if there are no people to uphold or enforce them.
    1
  2498. Isn't Canada Post state-owned?
    1
  2499.  @TheAircool1  Housing is anything but cheap in Singapore. And that's even with the government in charge of housing.

  2500. LOL
    1
  2501.  @Viewpoint11  <Conservative voters are the ones that keep dividing Canadians> LOL. Projecting much?
    1
  2502. Most Canadians own their homes. The only Canadians who can't afford a house are mostly big-city folks.
    1
  2503.  @t.8936  They voluntarily chose to work for them. They're free to work for another company or start their own firm.
    1
  2504.  @t.8936  And the people doing the actual work wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for developers. And none of them are in any position to pay for a permit to build.
    1
  2505.  @ThinkPolisComing4Me  Just as Justin's step-father intended.
    1
  2506. Politicians are reflections of their voters.
    1
  2507. Pierre Ny St-Amand.
    1
  2508.  @erikuu96  And not everyone has a family doctor.
    1
  2509. That $1100 a month is taken from the able-bodied who work and produce for a living. < I will never have enough saves to get to own a home. > And not for as long as you continue to live on social assistance.
    1
  2510.  @LoredNikon  Pretty much. Plus, the poster said it himself. He lives on social assistance paid for by the rich.
    1
  2511. Canada is not Saudi Arabia.
    1
  2512. ROFL.
    1
  2513. <democratize the enterprise.> Only to bankrupt it due to the lack of reinvestment as most workers will just simply vote for higher personal wages.
    1
  2514. The result of not having a family doctor.
    1
  2515. The minimum wage is already past $15/hour.
    1
  2516. Fascism is a product of the left.
    1
  2517.  @Dzeividz  Neither do citizens as apparently they think they're entitled to a living at their neighbor's expense.
    1
  2518.  @CantHandleThisCanYa  And Canadians better get ready to pay higher prices for their goods to compensate.
    1
  2519. ROFL.
    1
  2520.  @headshot8888  Also Japan and South Korea.
    1
  2521.  @anthonymorris5084  <because wealthy societies have less children.> To their future detriment which is why 5 years ago China scrapped the one-child policy.
    1
  2522.  @anthonymorris5084  <The evidence is overwhelming.> According to Nazis.
    1
  2523.  @50kgbrain  The USSR, China, Cambodia, Germany, Ethiopia, etc.
    1
  2524. <I am so sick of government they are all scammers and criminals!!!> No more so than the people that elected them .
    1
  2525.  @ML-ov7wo  Only because they don't want to take any responsibility for getting their acts together.
    1
  2526. Matriarchies are by nature regressive. So it's not a surprise society is on a decline.
    1
  2527.  @dougreed736  Exactly.
    1
  2528. Lax immigration laws.
    1
  2529. <New Canadians go to the large cities only because no one tells them any better> No. It's because that's where all the services and social support (ethnic enclaves) ar.
    1
  2530.  @amyy3266  So much for all of us being in this together.
    1
  2531.  @coolioso808  <When will people put 2 + 2 together and see that capitalism is unsustainable and we can do better?> With what exactly? We already tried socialism to rather unflattering results.
    1
  2532. And governments with cheap votes and power-grabs.
    1
  2533. Tommy Douglas?
    1
  2534. @Peter Landriault Like Greece?
    1
  2535.  @pkingo1  <UBI will also make people less beholden to the government> Correction: UBI will make people more beholden to the government as it is a service controlled by the government giving them absolute authority over who gets granted or denied service and under any condition they deem fit.
    1
  2536. But housing is still a privilege as no one not even the government owes anyone housing nor is obligated to provide any.
    1
  2537. Banks have no obligation to grant just anyone a mortgage.
    1
  2538. LOL @ Liberal voters no longer able to live with what they voted for.
    1
  2539. LOL. Socialism has the black market where the people would sell items they stole from their state-run workplaces to supplement their meager (by government policy) wages.
    1
  2540. Yet they do because citizens are too cheap to pay full tuition.
    1
  2541. That's what happen when people vote NDP and pandering to every other minority group under the sun.
    1
  2542. Rent control does not work. Your Premier had every good reason not to bring it in.
    1
  2543.  @WalkiTalki  Especially one that isn't dependent on oil.
    1
  2544. Even leftist Washington State has no state income tax.
    1
  2545.  @kc29291  Poverty cannot be eliminated and certainly not with UBI as most people will just simply pee away whatever was given to them and end up right back to square one.
    1
  2546.  @kyletrusler4565  Better than the CCPA funded by unions and activists. Speaking of biased.
    1
  2547. Race and gender as she is First Nations and female.
    1
  2548. LOL. Liberals are every bit for monopolies.
    1
  2549. <it’s Canadians out-pricing Canadians….> Like politicians and government workers.
    1
  2550.  @12345678hgjghjvg  But it won't save you from shortages or restrictions on who gets access to said food.
    1
  2551. What about welfare and the enablement of broken families?
    1
  2552. Or limit immigration.
    1
  2553.  @bubsadoozy  <You unapologetically shill for billionaires, its beyond pathetic.> You unapologetically shill for the current Liberal Party even more. <Telecom and Big business in general is destroying this country's working class.> Because government policy allowed it.
    1
  2554.  @amethyst2823  Or even Afghanistan.
    1
  2555. Good luck on that happening in Iran.
    1
  2556.  @canadiansfor2A  Like Somalia.
    1
  2557.  @Ak-wv7dt  Socialism = stagnation and regression, tyranny, genocide, poverty, etc.
    1
  2558.  @Ak-wv7dt  Typical socialist response.
    1
  2559.  @Ak-wv7dt  Socialism has plenty of war and greed. Remember Somalia, Ethiopia, Yugoslavia and the USSR when they collapsed?
    1
  2560.  @christopherbigot9988  Somalia already had that not too long ago. Just warlords, pirates, goat-herders and ordinary folk.
    1
  2561. Like the last election which they tried in vain to win a majority government?
    1
  2562. Like what Latin America has?
    1
  2563. <jobs that don’t require much education but pay well, we need conservative premiers across Canada to raise minimum wage to a liveable wage> Only for living costs to rise accordingly and then it's back to square one.
    1
  2564. Austerity wouldn't have been needed had the left not mismanaged the economy to insolvency.
    1
  2565.  @professorakiba434  But they do vote Liberal on immigration as they're probably trying to sponsor their family and friends.
    1
  2566. Namely among their little social circle.
    1
  2567. You mean taxpayer-subsidized and funded.
    1
  2568. Rent control exacerbated the housing crisis and enabled the existence of short-term renting.
    1
  2569. <poverty would not exist if billionaires didn't exist.> Like in Cambodia?
    1
  2570. You mean his successor.
    1
  2571. Joe Biden was to Afghanistan what Jimmy Carter was to Iran.
    1
  2572.  @luckyvet  By Vladimir Lenin.
    1
  2573. Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal are the only cities of relevance in Canada.
    1
  2574.  @carmenlajoie2719  China alleviated nothing.
    1
  2575. LOL. The public sector is more bloated than ever.
    1
  2576. And it's even more unsustainable when people who vote for a living outnumber those who work and produce for a living. You can tax the rich for only so long.
    1
  2577.  @lombo5293  Canada got too liberal for its own good.
    1
  2578. Plus Canada is too oversized and underpopulated to support what the US has.
    1
  2579. <They could also have more if they made the rich pay more taxes!> Only to have no more rich to tax and a regressing economy in the long run.
    1
  2580.  @titusmccarthy  First abolish Castro's son.
    1
  2581. If you're an activist, union boss, welfare-recipient or Kirchner supporter, GOOD! It's long overdue!
    1
  2582. That's just the price to pay to live in a welfare state.
    1
  2583. @THEBURGER KANG The hate is justified, though. The colonialism, the slave trade, the meddling and war-instigating in other countries, etc.
    1
  2584. Like Justin and Jagmeet whose net worth are well over $80 000 000 each?
    1
  2585. $12 300 000 = high wage? Maybe by Canadian standards.
    1
  2586. But according to Pierre Trudeau, Canada never had any.
    1
  2587. How many French-speaking people live in British Columbia?
    1
  2588. Left-wing fascism that is.
    1
  2589. Remax and Royal LePage created nothing. It was the government who did through zoning restrictions, bureaucracy and high taxes. And housing shortages are only an issue in the cities where people are trying to live in.
    1
  2590. So is Jagmeet Singh. And?
    1
  2591. No. Venezuela made Venezuela a failed country. Relied too much on oil and Chavez killed off whatever diversified economy it had for backup with price controls, nationalizations and "free" money.
    1
  2592. You wanted a secular humanist atheist society. You got it.
    1
  2593.  @derekwoodford9955  Public health.
    1
  2594. <m getting out of Canada and heading back to a country that cares about its seniors and doesn’t penalize them for not saving.> By penalizing people for saving with high taxes.
    1
  2595.  @elena2125  LOL. So much so that the seniors end up fleeing to Spain to live out the rest of their lives.
    1

  3510. Government made affordable housing not worth the trouble of building or maintaining.
    1
  3511. Pay up or move out. Living on prime real estate for cheap is not a human right.
    1
  3512. One problem. A lot of government officials own multiple properties themselves and they're not going to subject themselves to the duties you're calling for. That's for everyone else.
    1
  3513. The Inuit are lactose-intolerant.
    1
  3514. Exactly.
    1

    1
  3517. But apparently human cruelty does.
    1
  3518. And mid-tier cities in the South and Midwest.
    1
  3519. Canada missed the boat in 1812.
    1
  3520. And the legacy of Pierre Trudeau lives on.
    1
  3521. The guy has been living in the woods since the Chretien era.
    1
  3522. No. Food is a privilege as no one is owed or obligated to provide food.
    1
  3523. Who knew that taxing the rich actually hurts the poor?
    1
  3524.  @laingadaing  Exactly. Canadians have only themselves to blame. They voted for this and now here they are complaining about the results.
    1
  3525. It helps not to be bound by the Constitution as Quebec still hasn't signed on yet.
    1
  3526. Unless you live out in the boondocks.
    1

    1
  3530. Maybe when patients can lay off the junk food and cigarettes that's guaranteed to rot their teeth with time.
    1
  3531.  @MrMannyhw  <Government intervention is necessary to force citizens to do rightful things and not greedy type activities. > No. Government is every bit as greedy as the citizens who elected them and intervention is "necessary" only to further their power.
    1
  3532. Because big cities are where most people are willing to pay higher prices to live in.
    1
  3533.  @carlamcewen2361  Nope. Government greed.
    1
  3534. Much of which under Democrat leadership.
    1
  3535. Especially now that they're leaving the country bankrupt and unrecognizable in their wake.
    1
  3536. So? Those foreign student are free to study in their home countries if they don't like it.
    1
  3537. Thanks to the US of A becoming a superpower after WW2 and most of Europe was an apocalypse.
    1
  3538. I got that 3 months ago.
    1
  3539. New Caledonia is not Australia's problem.
    1
  3540. Drugs that many of the addicts went out of their own way to take up along with decriminalization.
    1
  3541. Case in point: the UK post WW2 pre-Thatcher.
    1
  3542. This one is on Canadian society.
    1
  3543.  @kyletrusler4565  But now coming undone by mass immigration. And then were the PIIGS.

  3544. $54K is not low.
    1
  3545. @Dave-gy5mv Liberia was not a French, but US colony. Nigeria was a British colony.

  3546. I blame the ignorant poor people who voted for them.
    1
  3547. You mean the CCP. But yeah!
    1
  3548. First tell the government to drop taxes by 75%. <Those prices will drop faster than a bowling ball from the CN tower> Only to run into shortages faster than a raindrop in Vancouver.
    1
  3549. And restrict driving to elites and professionals. Is that right?
    1
  3550. Yet lives in the most expensive part of Toronto. Downtown.
    1
  3551.  @rojahrojah  But municipal governments are Liberal/NDP. Nice try, though!
    1
  3552. Winnipeg would like a word with you on that.
    1
  3553.  @foreignstory  <The sad reality is Canadians are too idealistic.> And are living off off US and Chinese largesse.
    1
  3554.  @ngafsince1995  And those bad choices resulted in her untimely demise.
    1
  3555. Power to the state at the expense of the people and workers.
    1
  3556. Who knew that even communists don't support homosexuals?
    1
  3557.  @laylalayla5364  And men solve all the problems in the world.
    1
  3558. <Canadians never asked to have their immigration system and education systems abused> Well, they actually did the night they voted for either Trudeau Sr. or Trudeau Jr.
    1
  3559. Australia already has that and yet its situation is every bit as bad.
    1
  3560. While the NDP want to nationalize and mismanage everything in Canada.
    1
  3561. Conservatives also support mass immigration.
    1
  3562. Gavin Newsom = his policies have been gruesome.
    1
  3563. Except the government and big business.
    1
  3564. But the 4-day work week failed in Greece, because its economy was never big enough to support it requiring outside aid.
    1
  3565.  @alexg9727  But that was WW2 and for people just coming back from fighting overseas.
    1
  3566.  @alexg9727  What were the wages back then?
    1
  3567.  @chickadeestevenson5440  Thanks to rent control and bureaucracy taxing and regulating ordinary property-owners out of the market.
    1
  3568. No. Leftist politics is.
    1
  3569.  @larmar  Not exactly. If they didn't save or establish a family during their prime years, they set themselves up for the fate of the the woman in the video.
    1
  3570.  @TheAircool1  Those companies actually provide jobs directly and indirectly. The average freeloader does not.
    1
  3571. Plus if it wasn't for heterosexuals , the whole alphabet group wouldn't exist as they can't reproduce or sustain themselves themselves left to their own devices.
    1
  3572. Stephen Harper had nothing to do with the average Canadian's lousy spending habits.
    1
  3573. <It's one of the many unique things that's sets us apart from our psychotic neighbours to the South.> It's not that unique as Europe has that alongside private healthcare. And their system blows Canada's out of the water.
    1
  3574.  @titusmccarthy  6th wealthiest country in the Americas. Very f---ing well! Chile is the place where CIA intervention turned out to be a good thing in the long run.
    1
  3575. There's barely anything free about the market. Government meddling = shortages and higher costs for whatever didn't get taxed or regulated to death.
    1
  3576. They either are on social assistance or work in the public/government sector.
    1
  3577. Enabled and facilitated by the government.
    1
  3578. Aren't most Big Tech companies run by (D)-voters?
    1
  3579.  Terry Fox was a victim of Genocide  Because the rich save and invest while the poor pee away all they have.
    1
  3580.  @carlam4986  LMAO
    1
  3581. And that's going to solve what exactly?
    1
  3582.  @deb3477  This is on Trudeau.
    1
  3583. Who just want to live on welfare.
    1
  3584.  @justworkingfortheweekend8504  Also most of those women were either has-beens or failures in the movie industry some of whom willingly put out for a job looking to make themselves relevant.
    1
  3585.  @derekwoodford9955  Like in Venezuela?
    1
  3586.  @childofgodchristlike4240  Because deep down they would much rather disappear them like most dictatorships.
    1
  3587. For what?
    1
  3588.  @garyhaggquist740  Just like the Liberals didn't have to deal with the 2008 Recession in which Canada fared the best of the bunch.
    1
  3589.  @garyhaggquist740  <If conservatives would have had their way - we'd of been more like MAGA led America where the fatality rate was over 3X higher than Canada's. > With most of the fatalities being in MAGA-hating Blue states.
    1
  3590.  @user-xf7hb9sl5d  He was a slave-owning pedo?
    1
  3591. < Businesses should pay the taxes.> And you should have no problem with higher prices for goods passed on to you or job loss.
    1
  3592. Do builders have control over permit or real estate costs?
    1
  3593.  @publiccommentor5201  LOL. No they weren't. Otherwise they wouldn't have squandered whatever blessing they had.
    1
  3594. Are the people who live in the encampments legally allowed to vote?
    1
  3595.  @ElmarABusch  No. Get rid of this Trudeau Sr. monster.
    1
  3596.  @12345678hgjghjvg  But it won't save you from shortages or restrictions on who can get access to said food.
    1
  3597.  @12345678hgjghjvg  Due to high taxes and regulations on production and distribution.
    1
  3598. Minimum wage earners only make up 10% of Canada's population.
    1
  3599.  @alyssawoodman  No. <They struggle almost indentically.> Yet they're still nowhere near the majority anywhere.
    1
  3600.  @KingDJ_86  I guess this is where mass immigration comes in.
    1
  3601.  @MPlain  <#4 HEAVY government investment into building new homes is desperately needed to bring rents and home prices back down to reality. > Only for the people to pay for it dearly on the back end in the form of higher taxes resulting in smaller paycheques and less purchasing power.
    1
  3602. Thanks to landing fees by the federal government and the fact that Canada is just plain oversized and underpopulated.
    1
  3603.  @BDee3126  LOL
    1
  3604. And property-owning MP's.
    1
  3605. Poverty is not a cause.
    1
  3606.  @Scotian6444  By following left-wing pundits.
    1
  3607. Why so?
    1
  3608. Actually yes they did. It's just part of the Liberal leftist package.
    1
  3609.  @comparody7756  Says a virtue-signaler. And where in the Bible does it say it's the government's or even your neighbor's job to provide for those in need?
    1
  3610. Indeed. And it's only part of Canada just so Canada can have any claim to having a culture and being different from the US.
    1
  3611. Yet Saskatchewan and Alberta don't have anywhere near the problems Ontario and BC have.
    1
  3612. <Most young Canadians don't own a home. > But 66% of the general population do.
    1
  3613. Just like the average city in China.
    1
  3614. California is run by secular humanists.
    1
  3615. Brown.
    1
  3616. Or maybe an Eastern puppet.
    1
  3617.  @scottcampbell5536  You wouldn't be saying that if she was a conservative.
    1
  3618. Who knew that even raising the minimum wage to $15/hour wouldn't help the poor much?
    1
  3619. @Brinn-yw4dy Which is a personal finance issue.
    1
  3620. Gavin Newsom is just a governor. He doesn't do wars.
    1
  3621. Since when did a low-skill service-sector job pay a living wage?
    1
  3622. One problem, though. Iran is well-liked and supported by far-left atheists in Russia and China.
    1
  3623. After taxes, the take-home pay is $26K.
    1
  3624. Okay, hippie!
    1
  3625. And Iceland.
    1
  3626. <The dividing line is between corporate media and independent media.> You mean corporate media and state media.
    1
  3627. @maskers areretarded Which only ensures societal stagnation and regression.
    1
  3628.  @cinematicjay5729  ROFL.
    1
  3629.  @Markov16  Mozambique = another country destroyed by socialism. DRC = political instability ever since the communist anti-communist kleptocrat Mobutu got ousted.
    1
  3630. CBC is Liberal-owned media. How are they exactly dissing Trudeau?
    1
  3631. @massdebation LOL. The Reds will. By what? Letting them live in squalor or throwing them in jail like in Cuba?
    1
  3632. <That's why we so desperately need the NDP in government > So they can bankrupt Canada like they bankrupted every other province they got elected to run in the past?
    1
  3633. Also people willing to put up the money.
    1
  3634.  @Arwokid  Not necessarily judging by the wages of the time.
    1
  3635.  @primmakinsofis614  They weren't scared to do austerity measures.
    1
  3636. <when our hospitals are overburdened and heroes overworked,> Thanks to the government refusing to hire new nurses while firing the old ones for daring to go unvaxxed. <in large part to the unvaccinated> LOL
    1
  3637.  @gom3825  <Walk several hours?> Yes. At least they would have put their money where their mouths were.
    1
  3638.  @bondy7564  And Angela Merkel was a beneficiary of the GDR regime.
    1
  3639. Just like a good portion of his voter base as in social assistance-recipients.
    1
  3640.  @greenfrog8871  Take that up with city mayors as they're responsible for the zoning laws.
    1
  3641. Thanks to government meddling.
    1
  3642. Agreed.
    1
  3643.  @CanIHaveMoreSoupPlease  <you realize a good portion of people today, who will work for 50 years, as hard (if not harder) than you did, will NEVER be able to afford to buy a home, let alone retire in one. > Partly because they live beyond their means and foolishly think it's the government's job to take care of them upon retirement.
    1
  3644. And where's the money going to come from to build it?
    1
  3645. NB is a dump, though.
    1
  3646.  @coolioso808  <Take One Small Town as an example. A bottom-up, voluntary strategy that can bring self-sustainable communities into prosperity for all, not just for the few.> Small-town ideas do not work in big cities.
    1
  3647.  @jpd9415  Yes he is. His policies enabled it.
    1
  3648. Collectivism is destructive. And parental rights are being subverted in favor of the state.
    1
  3649.  @aidan74hk  Thanks to NIMBY's and zoning restrictions, condos are the only high-density housing allowed to be built in the city with a decent ROI.
    1
  3650.  @PrimaMapleSyrup  How is turning in a profit greed?
    1
  3651. Thanks to government over-regulation that set the entry barrier high and rendered law firms and real estate agents the only entities able to afford to build and own property.
    1
  3652. When taxing the rich hurts the poor.
    1
  3653. While Justin's net worth is $97 million.
    1
  3654. Pretty much.
    1
  3655. With Mexico being up there.
    1
  3656.  @jgp7414  Because fellow workers are free to work for someone else or start their own business.
    1
  3657. Not as much as low supply due to government restrictions.
    1
  3658.  @grantjohnston7148  No it isn't and not even close. <Also anytime Communism done properly fails it because of far right foreign interface against any civilized society.> And when exactly would that be? The USSR was Venezuela before Venezuela with its dependence on oil. And that was during its most prosperous years. The other countries were Soviet client states that survived on Soviet aid. <But because Muammar Gaddofi used the money to pay for everything> Including fund terrorist groups in other African countries like Chad and Sierra Leone. <eventually dragged Muammar Gaddofi threw the streets killing him in front of his people.> His own people did the dragging him out and killing him. Apparently, the people didn't love him as much as they just merely tolerated him so they don't get disappeared.
    1
  3659.  @Loloff210  They're probably enablers or reaping the benefits of the criminal's business.
    1
  3660. A polite way of saying NATIONALIZATION.
    1
  3661.  @markd3131  Municipalities are some of the biggest NIMBY's around. Maybe Canada is a little too decentralized for its own good.
    1
  3662.  @sitha4441  Those "greedy" investors are the reason any housing is built at all in the face of government restrictions on production and supply.
    1
  3663.  @dilpickles5928  Canada is living off of US largesse.
    1
  3664. For what? Being the leader that the US really needs in charge?
    1
  3665.  @Theballdoing  Yet still practiced by Liberals while Conservatives have long moved on.
    1
  3666. But this rail strike is not about pay, but work conditions.
    1
  3667. I thought it was Rob Ford.
    1
  3668. And what is socialism most famously known for whenever price control is implemented? Shortages.
    1
  3669.  @BDee3126  Well, housing is not a right. And even the government with all the social housing doesn't give to just anyone.
    1
  3670. Simple. Voters hated Trump so much they were willing to vote for anyone who wasn't him.
    1
  3671. Why should European countries help Iran? Can't the Iranian people help themselves?
    1
  3672. While liberals make one pay back said disability payments on his/her next tax return.
    1
  3673. And left numerous countries bankrupt having to either adopt capitalism or resign themselves to kleptocracy.
    1
  3674. Yet interestingly, there is no such thing as a socialist/communist country with open borders.
    1
  3675. Well, the property taxes, utility costs, maintenance and repair costs, interest rates, etc. are not cheap.
    1
  3676. <Air Canada will probably get another bailout because it’s a Trudeau way. > And protect Quebec jobs.
    1
  3677.  @omicrondelta249  The Nazis and Bolsheviks were atheists who wiped out Jews, Orthodox Christians and other atheists.
    1
  3678. Not really. If anything , it proves that living in the big city always has been and will be a privilege.
    1
  3679. Yet Trudeau has done far more to have Canadians suffer with his policies which includes carbon and fuel taxes.
    1
  3680. Besides, poverty is a consequence, not the cause.
    1
  3681. Trump 2, Democrats 0.
    1
  3682. Exactly.
    1
  3683. Like the old USSR under Stalin.
    1
  3684. Or the amount of NHL games that had to be postponed despite everybody being fully vaxxed. Players, coaches, staff, fans, etc.
    1
  3685. They need to stop voting for endless welfare. Argentina is a prime example of what the US's Founding Fathers warned about democracy.
    1
  3686. Be it local, provincial or federal.
    1
  3687. Just so they can afford their convenient lifestyles.
    1
  3688. But it wasn't in the service/retail sector.
    1
  3689.  @grantjohnston7148  So well that no one ever paid such a rate.
    1
  3690.  @lostmoose9994  If only he was still alive to see his Rainbow Nation today.
    1
  3691. @S yt = White, Caucasian.
    1
  3692. Air BnB is a thing due to government meddling that made long-term rentals unviable.
    1
  3693. Because CRA gets plenty from them in business taxes and income taxes from their employees high and low-level alike.
    1
  3694. While taxing the middle class into poverty in the process.
    1
  3695. Namely Democrat-voters and Trump-haters.
    1
  3696.  @chronometer9931  But it's either that or stay suffering.
    1
  3697.  @kyleklmondwa9042  Because he thinks he knows better.
    1
  3698. Personal happiness and fulfillment doesn't sustain infrastructure.
    1
  3699. We already have that.
    1
  3700. <This country is going downhill because we are now expected to pay out of pocket for everything despite so call free health care> Who knew that free anything is not sustainable?
    1
  3701.  @damontsekos9406  But the government responsible for mass immigration, inflation and the Carbon Tax is not.
    1
  3702.  @damontsekos9406  But do you recall him letting them in 500 000 at a time?
    1
  3703.  @t.dmytryshyn2615  Or even if you Libs believe in communism than democracy.
    1
  3704. But most of the abuses against First Nations people in Canada occurred under Liberal leadership including that of the current PM's father.
    1
  3705. LOL. What exactly has that accomplished except no housing to rent and high rent for whatever's still available?
    1
  3706. Of course you would, neo-Marxist.
    1
  3707. Not in Argentina's case. Its problem is that it needs to get its finances in order but any politician with sense risk ouster and unrest as the general public and the public sector will never agree to spending cuts.
    1
  3708.  @bradcanning875  At this point in time 2 decades ago, Paul Martin was the PM.
    1
  3709.  @bradcanning875  Are you 6? 2 decades ago, Harper wasn't the PM yet.
    1
  3710. There are plenty of regulations for property investors. Government over-regulation made it costly to build and own unless you're among the richest of the rich.
    1
  3711.  @justauser  Students and refugees are exempt from the Ban.
    1
  3712.  @eurongreyjoy2  Whatever, liberal propagandist!
    1
  3713. LOL. No they shouldn't. And since when were corporations responsible for people's personal problems?
    1
  3714. How are the merchants being greedy? Especially when it's costing more for them to have the goods produced and transported to their stores?
    1
  3715. No. This is what happens when bleeding hearts and activists have any say over what goes on in society.
    1
  3716.  @darlene2709  Namely small mom-and-pop businesses that were deemed non-essential, corner liquor stores aside.
    1
  3717.  @lanasyms6943  Justin Trudeau and everyone who voted for him.
    1
  3718.  @parentrap  <only worried about big urban areas.. > That's where most of his voters live at.
    1
  3719.  @davejohnson3773  <That is the large urban centres. I don’t understand how he survived the last election.> The Greater Toronto Area.

    1
  3723.  @universalconquest4447  Not really as freedom always come with responsibility.
    1
  3724.  @coolioso808  <create a better, community-owned and operated Mutual Aid Network of support for people?> Like what the USSR, Red China and Cuba had?
    1
  3725. And why should they? Canada is not that important.
    1
  3726. Public-sector workers and social assistance recipients.
    1
  3727. 13:28 So they can ride the carousel for a bit longer.
    1
  3728.  @jmohafa6939  <by the way study history capitalism is the reason slave trading stopped in America and Canada.> Thanks to industrialization.
    1
  3729. <The struggles of “paycheque to paycheque” is greater than the welfare system> Because a lot of people have some rather frivolous spending habits and are lousy with personal finances.
    1
  3730. That and the vaccines having a short shelf-life.
    1
  3731. This is what happens when you cede family care to the government or some private entity in favor of career and lifestyle.
    1
  3732. What RW insurgency? All I see is a LW one. And fascism is a LW idea.
    1
  3733. Things like this is why tax havens exist.
    1
  3734. The owners of the campgrounds are the City of Peterborough.
    1
  3735.  @Quadrophiniac  And China, Justin's favorite country.
    1
  3736. But socialism is why Montreal is no longer the #1 city in Canada it once was.
    1
  3737.  @primmakinsofis614  Plus a lot of Canadians are in no position to pay higher prices for locally-made goods to support living wages. <Protectionism is not a panacea, and causes plenty of problems.> Protectionism only benefits governments and local industry elites.
    1
  3738. Until an economic downturn happens and the government can no longer cover it.
    1
  3739. Venezuela wasn't bombed. Venezuela is yet another casualty of socialism.
    1
  3740. <South Africa's freedom from apartheid was founded on also liberating Palestine.> Not quite. It was more founded on establishing communism and being a Russian satellite state. After all, the ruling ANC was once backed by Russia/USSR.
    1
  3741. The real problem there is not greed but transport costs and the general lack of consumer base to support the affordable price only found in the cities.
    1
  3742. @SPLΔSIVΞ Pretty much.
    1
  3743. That's what city zoning restrictions and NIMBY's only allow to be built .
    1
  3744. That is on Canadian society. They ceded elderly and childcare over to the government in exchange for career and (hedonistic) lifestyle.
    1
  3745. Out of naive belief we were protecting others. But really, though, out of fear of losing our livelihoods and social privileges.
    1
  3746. Namely NIMBY's and the folks at City Hall.
    1
  3747. <How about a guaranteed liveable income & housing?> With what money and at who's expense?
    1
  3748. Administrators and bureaucrats. Canada never had the best system in the world even at the best of times.
    1
  3749. And the only inhabitable parts are along the Canada-US border.
    1
  3750. Canada is falling alright. Just to feminism and Marxism, that is.
    1
  3751.  @soundscape26  A compliant, docile population to control.
    1
  3752. And have people live destitute like Castro once did.
    1
  3753.  @VanisleGirl1961  Why don't renters buy the property then? It's not the landlords' fault that renters are short-sighted and don't take their futures seriously enough to consider paying for something that would actually last and generate some value in the process.
    1
  3754.  @bigboy7927  Exactly.
    1
  3755.  @kevink239  That's what they signed up for.
    1
  3756. And put a decent portion of the Liberal/NDP's voter base out of work. It's political suicide.
    1
  3757. <They need control> Just what Canadians need. Supply shortages and higher fees for what didn't get price-controlled.
    1
  3758. <The primary deterrent for some is the prohibition of drug and alcohol use on-site. Regrettably, this restriction leads people to avoid shelters> How is that regrettable?
    1
  3759. And white people are too busy canceling themselves in the name of saving the planet.
    1
  3760. With what money?
    1
  3761. We already have BC Housing, TCHC and OMHM.
    1
  3762.  @ryanjacob8786  HARDER! HARDER!
    1
  3763. High land values due to limited availability and local bureaucracy.
    1
  3764.  @Mscavalli2  <because Mexicans do not require the regular visa to enter Canada but ETA.> Thanks to Trudeau scrapping visa requirements for Mexicans.
    1
  3765. Vancouver hardly has any blacks.
    1
  3766. Left.
    1
  3767.  @noexcuses5524  But the reserves are a dump. Contraband-smuggling is the only economic activity going on. Suicide, drug and alcohol-abuse are through the roof. Many of the indigenous live in squalor.
    1
  3768. <it’s the landlords> That would be the Mayor and City Council.
    1
  3769. You're right about the latter. But the former is the general thinking of every other fascist and communist (collectivist) with desires to establish utopia on Earth.
    1
  3770. And that "real" plan would be? What Hitler and Pol Pot had?
    1
  3771. The government do have supporters among the people. Namely the older generation.
    1
  3772. That hasn't been a thing since WW2.
    1
  3773. Yet they are exempt from the foreign buyers' ban,
    1
  3774. Namely Ontario and Quebec.
    1
  3775. It's only thanks to a 2005 SCC ruling that Canadians can get anything resembling private healthcare.
    1
  3776. How you do that in the face of rising taxes and other costs?
    1
  3777. And give power to an equally ignorant, sociopathic and incompetent socialist elite?
    1
  3778. Australia already has that and its housing crisis is every bit as bad.
    1
  3779. No. Just the carbon tax itself caused all this as it jacked up the costs of production and distribution.
    1
  3780. You don't have to look far for socialism and UBI in practice.
    1
  3781.  @Gary-l6o  But isn't PEI the poorest province in all of Canada?
    1
  3782. <Public transit is unreliable> Especially the buses.
    1
  3783. While Canadians think they're entitled to live the high life on a barista's salary if it isn't high-level pay for low-level work.
    1
  3784.  @igamehard8860  Yes. And it won't be any less so with the government in charge of the food supply getting to feed their supporters while starving everyone else as is routinely done in most dictatorships.
    1
  3785. The government is the problem.
    1
  3786. They're all but completely illegal to build.
    1
  3787. Governments take the cake.
    1
  3788.  @darius1084  But the UK has almost 2x Canada's population.
    1
  3789.  @bradcanning875  While people like Liberal MP Taleeb Noormohamed flipped the same amount of properties. <should not be able to> But they are, because believe it or not, it's perfectly legal in Canada. Even if it happens to be a conflict of interest to Liberals as they're crying for affordable housing.
    1
  3790. But India's GDP per capita is not even in the $2000 range yet.
    1
  3791.  @purplehaze8557  India is unstable.
    1
  3792.  @zephryus  While the liberals would price and breed you out of your hometown.
    1
  3793.  @laurafulton7023  Wrong! It was Justin's step-father who began it.
    1
  3794.  @frankmoon9350  Pretty much poverty-pimping.
    1
  3795.  @annalisavajda252  So what do you call a man who gets killed?
    1
  3796. Not those who live in the GTA.
    1
  3797. Just so you can piss away whatever money you take from them and then do the same to your not-completely-poor neighbors.
    1
  3798. No. Thank PM Trudeau for imposing Carbon Tax. Who knew it would affect production and transport costs and in turn overall retail prices?
    1
  3799.  @piku5637  While socialism screws over anyone who isn't part of the ruling class.
    1
  3800. With what money?
    1
  3801. @plantbasedstrong China, Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. think so.
    1
  3802. Just like the foreign influence that ended the Apartheid regime?
    1
  3803. <I thought it was just a problem for 3rd world countries,> Where the poor live in shacks and shantytowns on the outskirts of the capitals and tourist hotspots.
    1
  3804. Everyone except bureaucrats, rich folks and those with an extra 200K to spare to travel to the US.
    1
  3805. Tankie, please!
    1
  3806.  @piku5637  <I’m an anarchist, > LOL. Somalia actually has what you advocate.
    1
  3807. Quebec was the price Canada paid to to prevent annexation by the US.
    1
  3808. Because of legal consequences.
    1
  3809.  @tidbit1877  No. That would be Biden. Biden gave Afghanistan to the Taliban just like Jimmy Caret gave Iran to theocracy.
    1
  3810.  @tiggercampbell6198  <but one does not choose to become addicted.> But their addiction was a consequence of their choice to try drugs.
    1
  3811. Affordable housing = high-crime slums.
    1
  3812. The average Vancouver salary is $129K/year CAD. $32.5K is the bare minimum.
    1
  3813. And what Republican cities would that be? Virtually all the cities in America are ran by Democrats even in the reddest of red states.
    1
  3814. More crime = less shopping options.
    1
  3815. That's irrelevant to the fact that he's a public safety threat.
    1
  3816. No they didn't.
    1
  3817. < People should not just get jobs because who they are, or their last name> That's not nepotism but discrimination in favor of those who happen to identify as member of targeted group of the day. Nepotism is when people are hired based on who they're affiliated with or related to.
    1
  3818. The same Bill Gates who actually opposes vaccines for himself or his loved ones. Weird indeed!
    1
  3819. Due to government mismanagement of agriculture.
    1
  3820. Quebec is also affordable.
    1
  3821. <Thought of and treated like a passive nation, > What more did you expect from a country that was all too happy to live off of Britain and American largesse?
    1
  3822. And a 2nd Round at best NHL team.
    1
  3823.  @christiandovecraft6254  Thanks to high oil prices and not much else just like Venezuela under Chavez.
    1
  3824.  @JA-mq9ti  So did their ancestors. Except that their ancestors just simply moved if they couldn't stay.
    1
  3825.  @rebeccafrost5542  You're against reparations for slavery? WOW!
    1
  3826. And end up like every other country that adopted communism having a shortage of 2 of the 3 being food and water while living in sub-standard housing.
    1
  3827. You got what you voted for. 3 times in a row.
    1
  3828. I blame Canadian voters.
    1
  3829. And they you wonder why Canada has healthcare shortages.
    1
  3830.  @spentcasing3990  But they do create high demand which in turn raises prices.
    1
  3831. Take away provincial subsidies and let's see if local students can handle the real tuition cost.
    1
  3832.  @jonihan33  The party responsible for Greece's economic collapse was far-left socialist.
    1
  3833.  @juliam4100  At Greece's request.
    1
  3834. But they're not nearly as desirable as Ontario.
    1
  3835.  @knowledgeandmultiskilled  I don't know. It be because Ontario is where most of the jobs, amenities and anything of interest and importance are located.
    1
  3836.  @alexg9727  Harper was right in defunding the SOW.
    1
  3837. But most of it is not suitable for farming or inhabitation.
    1
  3838.  @aetherfox4404  But Quebec is the reason Canada has any claim to being distinct from the US.
    1
  3839. Leftists have nothing but contempt for the working class. Don't let all the worker solidarity talk fool you. They only class they care about is the underclass. Namely the criminals, deadbeats, junkies, drunks, etc.
    1
  3840. Everywhere except Alberta.
    1
  3841. Social democracy showing its true colors.
    1
  3842. Price control = less supply available and inevitably higher prices.
    1
  3843. LOL.
    1
  3844. Or in the case of a lot of dictatorships, they sweep the problem under the rug by banishing the poor, disadvantaged and homeless to the outskirts so they cannot be seen by tourists or foreign officials with image intact.
    1
  3845. Because 89% of the land is owned by the government and is off-limits to inhabitation. And luxury houses exists due to local zoning laws and NIMBY's.
    1
  3846. Canadians have gotten soft.
    1
  3847. The money has to come from somewhere to pay for the ever-bloating government.
    1
  3848.  @me-fv5xb  Thanks to left-wing perversion.
    1
  3849. Pretty much.
    1
  3850. <You don't win the war on drugs with hate and stigma.> Singapore didn't get the memo.
    1
  3851. CTV News isn't exactly corporate media.
    1
  3852. If not the government-appointed administrators pockets.
    1
  3853. They do. And that is the case in Montreal despite accounting for only 19% of the population.
    1
  3854. Canada is for families. Just not its cities.
    1
  3855. Don't the governors have the 10th Amendment?
    1
  3856.  @StanTheMan-us3tp  I thought it was New Mexico.
    1
  3857. Canada doesn't have much worth seeing.
    1
  3858.  @StanTheMan-us3tp  Hardly.
    1
  3859. And what happens when that star trek food replicator ceases to function?
    1
  3860.  @raymroz5806  <And where you're also going wrong is by leading with the assumption that drug use necessitates a fix in the first place some people just take drugs to have fun or have a good time doesn't mean everyone's broke who uses drugs.> But taking drugs to have fun or a good time is all it takes to start a person on the path to addiction. Also they have some serious character issues if they need to resort to that for fun or a good time.
    1
  3861. < - we need safe and clean apartments that are as low as $350 a month> Only to be mismanaged and neglected because the rent was set too low to cover basic operating and maintenance costs. <5) We must see who is profiting from homelessness and stop them from doing so> That would be advocacy groups among others.
    1
  3862. And corporate monopolies are enabled by government over-regulation.
    1
  3863. No. You should have saved whatever you made when you worked.
    1
  3864.  @belledorris1973  And social assistance-recipients.
    1
  3865.  @tylerfloodgate  It's not impossible. Just way too costly due to too much ground to cover and not enough people to support it.
    1
  3866. Backed by communists.
    1
  3867. Also pride.
    1
  3868.  @BK26Q  I know a woman who did.
    1
  3869. No. it's because of government meddling and greed.
    1
  3870. Dude is 74 and well past it.
    1
  3871.  @durfdurffigan8680  No. This is communism. And communists were never known for their competence at running anything except their mouths.
    1
  3872. It's run by leftists and progressives.
    1
  3873. Exactly.
    1
  3874. Unfortunately, his replacement is also a communist.
    1
  3875. Only to get replaced with yet another ultra-leftist corrupt President. If anything, this is just the left eating their own. No US backing needed.
    1
  3876.  @ting280  LOL.
    1
  3877.  @DigitalAshes  A vote for NDP = a vote for Canada to become like the PIIGS. There's a reason why they seldom ever gotten a 2nd term in every other province they were elected.
    1
  3878.  @TT-fq7pl  So what exists because of state exploitation?
    1
  3879.  @on2thenextthing  <Just a month or two ago the CMHC said the housing affordability issue can only be addressed by private industry.> Technically, they're right as private industry is responsible for virtually all the housing and infrastructure built. Governments don't build anything. They hire private firms to do that on their behalf.
    1
  3880. And that's considering Sweden is in between Quebec and Ontario in population.
    1
  3881. Ford is not the PM of Canada.
    1
  3882. I don't know. Ask Justin Trudeau.
    1
  3883.  @stevenjohn1470  Case in point: Cuba. That place is falling apart.
    1
  3884.  @StraightTalkinFedoraChic  Um. No. Rich people are not responsible for your inability to manage money.
