  4.  @chinaarlene7035  First get rid of the rent control and bureaucracy that taxed and regulated the mom-and-pop owners out of the market in favor of those entities who can afford to put up with the government's BS.

  5. And Costco, and all the big-time supermarket chains, etc.
    2
  6. <Why is it that tiny homes are not acceptable if this indeed a housing issue?> Zoning restrictions.

  7. I lost a female friend of 12 years to Fentanyl just last month. Condolences. I would plead the same thing. Stay away from drugs at all costs.

  9. Well, if you want socialism, you can just go visit Regent Park and Swansea Mews.

  12.  @cindyhaduik7171  Also Harper introduced the CWB and the Public Transit (non-refundable) credit. My biggest tax refunds came with Harper in charge.

  13.  @tntcanada420  But Liberal/NDP British Columbia stands alone above all.

  14. The Premier is not the city Fire Chief that called for the dismantling.

  15.  @bmoshareholderappleshareho855  Nah. Canada and the US will be more like the old USSR.

  16.  @trevorhamilton9574  Like what Venezuela had?
    2
  17.  @trevorhamilton9574  Only to be greeted with empty store shelves and a currency good for being toilet paper.

  18.  @huikify  Or even Hong Kong. Rent control couldn't stop it from boasting the world' highest rent.

  19. Higher taxes = higher overall prices as the costs are passed down to the end consumer.

  20.  @vikvc  Ottawa has way more open space while Montreal is coinfined to an island.

  22. Not Montreal.

  23.  @helloitsme4139  <This is very common in many other areas around the world,> Namely places with overcrowding problems. <we need this in Canada> No we don't. What Canada needs is to close the borders.

  24. How can they in face of rising property taxes, insurance premiums, repair and maintenance costs, etc.? High demand and low supply due to government policy are the real reasons for the high prices.
    2
  25. Ditto for China.
    2
  26. Nope. Government meddling.
    2
  27. But most of it's not arable or inhabitable.
    2
  28. How about doing the same for government greed, the real cause of the price increases in necessities?
    2
  29.  @billhacks  It always has been a case of who you know. Social networking matters plenty.
    2
  30. Liberals and corruption go hand in hand.
    2
  31. Corporate ownership is the result of government making housing too costly to build and own with corporations being among the only entities that can afford to.
    2
  32. Liberty and equality are enemies of each other.
    2
  33. Rent caps do not work. As a matter of fact, they enabled short-term renting, renovictions and corporate ownership.
    2
  34. Not really. Supply restrictions by the government is largely the reason.
    2
  35. Who knew that EV's don't work in extreme cold?
    2
  36. Not everywhere is $2600 a month for rent.
    2
  37.  @ericlavoie399  All paid for by Canadian taxpayers.
    2
  38.  @radscorpion8  <"socialist" healthcare is how the majority of the world run healthcare.> Yet the countries with the best overall healthcare have both private and public.
    2
  39.  @Jayjay-ji7ty  But everyone wants to be a white-collar worker or get paid like one.

  45. What about city housing?
    2
  46.  @sl1237  No. the ever-deluded government and their eco-fascist cheerleaders.
    2
  47. The US.
    2
  48.  @karmacat5437  Rent control enabled Air BnB, renoviction and corporate buyout as mom-and-pop owners got taxed and regulated out of the market.
    2
  49.  @nuxkamina  <but tax rates were far higher in the 1950's.> Yet few people paid such rates and were eventually done away with.
    2
  50. <Accommodation in Montreal is affordable with some of the lowest cost of living expenses in the country.> But that's negated by lower salaries and higher taxes.
