  1. Not really. The opportunities are still there. It's just that you're going to have to pay a bigger premium for the privilege.

  2. He hasn't been in power since 2015.

  3. <We've come to a point where cities are no longer seen as places where people live. > Cities were never really seen as places where people live to begin with, but work and do business. <Also, businesses in these cities are shuttering because a - people are just scraping by as is and can't afford to frequent them, b- people don't have time to actually step into a store because all they do is work and commute to work so everything is ordered online, and c - fewer people live by these businesses. > Also d - high taxes and government over-regulation. <One extreme is Ashgabat the capital of Turkmenistan. I have heard that no one lives there - everyone lives on the periphery of the city> There's also Pyongyang, North Korea. Only government officials and tourists are allowed to live there while ordinary citizens live on the outskirts.

  4. Exactly.

  5. <a lot of other judges would've probably send the guy to jail...> And rightfully so. Theft is theft. And compassion = enablement.

  6. Is it due to Torontonians moving in?

  7. Better that than housing being unavailable even if people are willing to pay the higher rent.
    6
  8. <if we all did this and more there’d be no more greedy corporations left.> Just greedy governments and citizens. <Norway is a good example of cooperative everything> As long as the borders are kept closed.

  9.  @freddytang2128  Indian immigration.
    6
  10. Also the government-run liquor and weed stores.

  11.  @Jane-yg3vz  The unvaxxed last year made a perfect scapegoat as the government got let off the hook for all the underfunding, mismanagement and poor conditions leading up to it.

  12. While all the housing still under rent control is hard to come by.
    6
  13.  @chopaface  It protects those who already have a place, not those looking for a (new) place.

  14. How can they lower the price when it's costing more to produce, distribute and supply?
    6
  15. Said no one ever!
    6
  16.  @Parischick11  Just like public housing and some really run-down private housing.
    6
  17. Simple. No jobs. No services. No amenities.
    6
  18. And become another Yugoslavia. Mismanaged and bankrupt.

  19. <Rent control is the most basic and was the only protection renters had. > While blocking new renters from finding housing. <Dougy Ford took out rent control so him, the developers, and investors could build non-stop condos that only they can afford and rent to you and me at unaffordable rates to pay their mortgage.> Which only applies to housing that was built within the past 5 years (2018-present). You're free to find a unit that was built prior to that. But good luck on that as thanks to rent control, that's in short supply.

  20. Pretty much.

  21.  @Method9  EV's are not environmentally friendly and ironically require oil just so they can run properly.

  22.  @jodikoberinski1639  There's nothing outrageous about it as foreign students don't seem to have a problem paying for the privilege to be here.
    5
  23.  @SecretlyAHorse  And basically using the school to outsource their own parenting responsibilities.
    5
  24. And pay 70% of all the taxes. Besides, democracy is not a sustainable form of governance as most of the people will just simply vote for politicians who promise them benefits at the expense of the treasury, long-term economic sustainability and their "rich" neighbors.
    5
  25. Except this is a municipal issue. And Edmonton is a Liberal/NDP stronghold.
    5
  26. No. How about abolish income tax altogether as it was originally supposed to be a temporary measure?
    5
  27. LOL
    5
  28.  @ageofechochambers9469  Exactly.
    5
  29. The jabs being safe and effective.
    5
  30. Except Quebec.
    5
  31.  @bobboby2400  <It's about the government not making things affordable for people to live,> Due to bureaucracy that makes things scarce and expensive.
    5
  32. Translation: taxpayer-subsidized housing.
    5
  33.  @chrisgraham2904  Thanks to zoning restrictions and NIMBY's, condos were the only high-density housing legally allowed to be built within city limits.
    5
  34. <Lastly Toronto, or Vancouver are not the only places people can choose to live in Canada.> But the other cities don't have the amenities, opportunities, services or desirability like Toronto or Vancouver.
    5
  35. No. Rent control exacerbated the housing crisis by making units unavailable especially for those looking for housing.
    5
  36. LOL. There's hardly anything working class about the public sector especially the federal public sector.
    5
  37. Just as Marx advocated in the name of abolishing private property.
    5
  38. That's not a viable option for those who don't drive.
    5
  39.  @billmcmeekin7909  <They go back to their country of origin,> Or they go to the US like a lot of even Canadian-born healthcare workers do.
    5
  40.  @HuplesCat  And support greedy socialism.
    5
  41.  @Johnwractliffe  Pretty much.
    5
  42.  @pastorofmuppets777  It exacerbated the problem.
    5
  43.  @RK-vf4mo  Edmonton is far-left. Far-left policies help alright. Help enable and exacerbate problems.
    5
  44. And when exactly was that?
    5
  45. The problem is people being too dependent on government for their day-tot-day survival.
    5
  46.  @matthewklassen7457  Actually it's if you make more than $49 000 per year.
    5
  47. Municipalities played a prominent role in it with their zoning restrictions.
    5
  48. It's the same as anyone in the highest tax bracket.
    5
  49. No. Public land = government property.
    5
  50. Translation: government-run slums.
