  1. No. We are getting screwed over by high taxes and bureaucracy. And UBI will not people afford food unless you don't mind dealing with a worthless currency or chronic food shortages.

  2. But they have the anarchy anarchists advocate.

  3. You have only Carbon Tax to thank for that.
    2
  4. Which can only lead to shortages due to them taking maternity leave, working less hours in favor of more personal time for themselves or children, retiring from the profession to become SAHMs.

  5. New York = world financial center. San Francisco = close proximity to Big Tech.

  6. But purchasing power is higher in the US.

  7. Canada already has Whole Foods.
    2
  8. Which would be?

  9.  @ITforeveryone  To some, that's better than ending up dead because they couldn't get simple healthcare at all especially in a timely manner.
    2
  10. And sanctimonious, naive voters.
    2
  11. No. Renovictions are a response to government meddling in the landlord's ability to evict a bad tenant in a timely manner.
    2
  12. <SHAME ON YOU CANADIAN GOVERNMENT for not looking after your seniors.> How so? It never was nor should have ever been the government's job to look after the elderly. Elderly and child care are the responsibility of the family.

  13.  @milhouse8166  Pay is the least of their issues as many will blow it on getting wasted.
    2
  14.  @person-yu8cu  Thanks to city government restrictions.
    2
  15. Air BnB is the consequence of rent control.
    2
  16. Haiti was Somalia before Somalia.
    2
  17. <It;s crazy how low it has to be before you can get help. > Well, this is how social programs enable and further perpetuate poverty.
    2
  18.  @anishnaabehistorypodcast7215  We don't need rent control. We need immigration control. Landlords and developers are not the problem. The federal government and its out of control immigration policies are.

  19. He's probably a CCP stooge.

  20.  @piku5637  And end up like: USSR North Korea China Vietnam Mongolia Ethiopia Madagascar Benin Angola Burkina Faso Zimbabwe Venezuela Cuba Guyana Hungary Yugoslavia East Germany Romania Bulgaria Poland Burma Equatorial Guinea Laos Somalia Ghana Czechoslovakia Nicaragua

  21. <have wealthy people/corporations pay their fair share of taxes> They already do an then some accounting for at least 70% of all taxes paid.
    2
  22. No. Reproduce or get replaced.
    2
  23. What Albertans? Since when did Edmonton speak for Alberta?
    2
  24. How about abolish income tax as after all, it was supposed to be temporary?
    2
  25. And lower property taxes.
    2
  26. (Wealth) Inequality is a natural consequence of economic and personal freedom. Sorry, we can't earn the same.
    2
  27. Nunavut is because everything has to be flown in. Toronto is because it is Canada's financial capital and the people have more money to throw around.
    2
  28. This is intentional.
    2
  29. Not a viable option for a lot of city folks.
    2
  30.  @GayStationB  It is true. <Cost of living has outpaced wage increases, and a lot of people work 2-3 jobs just to scrape by.> Just a small price to pay to live in the big city.
    2
  31. No. Rent control doesn't work. I live in Quebec and the last thing Quebec needs is more unions.
    2
  32. Yet in spite of all that, people still insist on living beyond their means. <Why don't you report that people get paid less than what it costs to live. > Not before they report on how the CAD isn't worth as much as it once was. The real issue is not people getting paid less, but the money they're paid in being worth less.
    2
  33. Big electricity is provincially-owned and run.
    2
  34. Because Iran has little on China who has the world by the pair.
    2
  35.  @wewantmoreboomboom8313  <but overall less allowing of the developpers to propose rezoning to produce ultra high dense buidlings.> Developers are not the ones proposing rezoning to build ultra-high density buildings. This is what current local zoning laws allow. And luxury condos are the only housing allowed to be built within city limits that have a decent ROI.
    2
  36. Because thanks to government meddling, that's more worthwhile than renting to bad tenants they can't legally evict in a timely manner.
    2
  37. Along with the federal Liberals and NDPers.
    2
  38.  @ramzanninety-five3639  Co-ops are not that financially sustainable without government subsidies.
    2
  39.  @kelpforest0068  But the US's health care system is better funded, staffed and supplied.
    2
  40. But the waiting list for co-op housing is just about as long as that for public housing.
    2
  41. For what? So they can trash it?
    2
  42. How about no? Since when was it a basic human right to force others to provide for you for free?
    2
  43.  @sqae8398  The inevitable consequence of government mismanagement.
    2
  44. And ensured that Manitoba will be Canada's Greece and Venezuela.
    2
  45. Like Ceausescu did with Romania. And its debt was due to the building of the Palace, his vanity project.
    2
  46. One problem, though. Collectivist societies like Iran don not value or believe in individual freedom.
    2
  47. Namely that of the government with the carbon and fuel tax.
    2
  48. No. Government meddling is.
    2
  49. Because the government made them costly.

  50. It worked for Venezuela. LOL
