  1. Bernie is like all socialists. Who has too much? Anybody who has more than me! He doesn't need his large salary nor 3 houses. But he's only a millionaire. It's the BILLIONAIRES that need to go. *sigh *

  2. A program like that would have to be introduced and concluded all over the country in the same week, with absolutely no notice. Then it could possibly work.

  3. Sort of. This very heavily leaned in favour of the development. Yes, it's better than most media outlets, but it was still quite biased. There were a ton of elephants in the room it ignored.
    25
  4. I think that's a great solution. If two candidates are apparently that closely regarded, who cares which one it is? Don't waste taxpayer money coming up with a convoluted solution.

  5. I felt exactly the same way. She is the type of research only the things she's passionate about, from only the angles she deems matter. She thinks the money part just takes care of itself and clearly hasn't put in any effort into researching what economics is all about, which is odd for someone who wants socialism. You think if you hated capitalism that you'd learn the ins and outs first.

  6. You admitted you only mentioned one side of the argument. When jobs are extremely scarce, for goddamn sure they are paying next to nothing. This guy has been rich too long if he thinks it's always a "voluntary transaction". I suspect you are too young to have experienced any really hard times to see exactly what businesses do. Trust me, they don't give a fuck.

  7. It kills me because I’d be first in line to buy a legit small scaled down version of a pickup.

  8.  @Degarth  I had the same thought. Where is her funding coming from? It's unbelievable how often things like this are funded by the usual suspects. I wouldn't be surprised if it's McDonald's and other companies who don't take in tips that want this because it puts the others out of business. Or maybe it's funded by some nonprofit who turns out to be funded buy big business. The minute that woman started calling everything she disagreed with as being a lie, and then didn't send the information to back up the claims, the alarm bells went off as far as not giving her the benefit of the doubt that she's just naïve

  9. In Canada, the rules aren't the issue. Winter is. How can a car see the difference between patch of wet road vs black ice 50 yards ahead when there's a break in the coverage of snow on a highway? Will it drive on the hard packed, slick snow that's basically ice or will it scoot over into the fluffier snow that's not in the middle of the lane, but provides greater grip? I can't see fully auto cars in Canada any time soon.

  10. Tulsi could've had fun with that one.

  11. "....rip off the working class". Here's the rub: there is not enough money!!!!!!!!!!!!! The counties are all in debt because there just isn't the money to pay people good wages. People act like outsourcing for lower wages is done out of spite. It's not, it's done because there literally isn't enough money to pay for them. The only other option is for governments to keep borrowing from the future to pay for today. How is that fair? You're asking the next generation to pay for your higher wages today. Plus, there's less money to go around when the government has to service those debts. Your last line is right, but in your world you'd rather it be tomorrows generation that pays. Good grief.

  12. Exactly. From the Chinese government to the American government, nobody trying to be transparent in any capacity. I cannot think of a larger red flag.

  13. I'm shocked at how infrequently these videos come out given all of the examples. I'm also surprised at how many of the examples delve way way back into history when there are so many contemporary ones to choose from.

  14. I always say if you don't apply them consistently, they're not morals; they're whims.

  15. I live in Vancouver Canada, and everywhere here has them banned and it’s so funny because according to what I read, you have to reuse a cotton bag 50 times to make up for its equivalent in plastic. Very few people are using their bags that many times. I have scores of them that get given to me free by businesses all the time.
    7
  16. Love it. To be fair, you should've added one thing though: city services. Sewer and electrical infrastructure need to be able to handle the increased load. Sometimes that can be the bottleneck.

  17. It cracks me up that the far left are the ones first in line at Whole Foods to pay ridiculous amounts for stuff which line this guy's rich pockets.
    6
  18.  @notme222  I've seen so many different conclusions. All I know is that every single reputable science outlet says that paper v plastic is more of a draw than a knockout victory. Environmentalists who pound the table about plastic bags are simply not looking at the whole story.
    6
  19. Perhaps I only hear of the examples where it doesn't work, but it seems like every time people introduce one creature to control another creature there are unintended negative consequences.

  20. That's where I thought it was going

  21. 14:00 THIS is why I love Lomborg. That's the most realistic scenario. I'm sick to death of everybody overpromising and under delivering because they don't wanna live in reality and they think people don't wanna hear reality.
    6
  22. I wish Vancouver would see this. They're considering rent control. Here it's bad enough already because it's really hard to get building permits so rentals are not increasing nearly fast enough, yet the city council blames "greedy landlords and builders" instead of their own policies.
    6
  23.  @lkjkhfggd  it’s not that people forget to bring the bags, it’s that you get them with many purchases for free. I have tons of those bags that I didn’t even ask for. I could never use all of them enough times to cover the equivalent of the environmental issues plastic ones create.
    5
  24.  @LC-uh8if  I will admit that the bag ban helps you remember because I used to remember 5% of the time before the band, and now I remember 90%. When I forget, it's infuriating though. I have to leave everything at the checkout and run out to the car and get my bags, which is super awesome in a Canadian winter.

  25. The definitions of a lot of things seem to have been changed in the past few years.
    5
  26. I live in Vancouver and I can't express how much worse our problem has gotten over the past 20 years. I moved away, then moved back and it's SO much worse now. And what kills me about governments in general is they are loathe to look at where things are working and then emulate it. You'd think that would be painfully obvious but they don't seem to want to do it.

  27. The Achilles' heel of intellectuals is that they are smart enough to be able to come up ways of justifying any behavior.

  28. These videos could be 20 minute segments coming out once a fortnight if they really wanted to.

  29. Forget the Loonie toss rule, Saskatchewan banned peelers altogether, forcing businesses to close. Then years later they promised to start them back up - with the best of intentions! Then some people complained and AFTER business owners had done the renovations and spent the big bucks, the government went "Yeah, that thing we said you can do......you can't because reasons". So these businesses closed down (no revenue), spent money (negative revenue), then were told "Tough titty" to their dreams of a titty bar. Thanks Saskatchewan.

  30. If you did not want to sell it, then the amount you get for it is borderline irrelevant. If somebody forced you to sell the most sentimental object you own for "fair market value" you would still be upset and call it unfair.
    5
  31.  @notme222  In Vancouver even suppliers are bag-free and it's insufferable. When I go to a hardware supplier for work stuff I'm not bringing a damn reusable box with me. They took it way, way too far. And most places here don't have paper either.

  32.  @seansingh8862  I'm in construction safety and onn industrial sites the safety program takes up about a third of the budget. The people instituting these programs think they are scoring one for the little guy because that makes the job a tiny bit safer but guess who pays? The end consumer pays for literally everything always. The insane prices we are paying due not to sensible ways to protect workers but instead just a bloated bureaucracy is ridiculous. And then these people have the stones to bitch when things cost too much.

  33.  @this_epic_name  I'd love to find a rental property of one of the lawmakers and rent it and not pay. See how they like it.

  35. The term Scientist is meaningless now, Today it means that you've met two conditions: That you've been signed off on by an accredited education, establishment, and that you tow the party line. It does not matter how much expertise you have a field, or how rigorously you adhere to the scientific method. You are called an amateur until you have a degree. You could follow the scientific method to the letter and achieve new discoveries with demonstrable results that are replicable, but you absolutely would still be referred to as a hobbyist, unlike someone who just graduated from university, but hasn't stepped foot in the field yet.

  38. "The biggest cause of the massive spread and that high excessive death compared to our neighbour was that the schools for younger kids were kept open" Then explain how countries that totally locked down the schools and had zoom school had way higher spread and excess death rates.

  39. "Punching up - challenging those with power and offending those with power, is quite different from punching down." Who's up and who's down is a matter of great debate. If you can utter a single word or phrase and get completely ruined for it (your whole career destroyed etc), especially when it's clearly uttered either in reference to the word itself, or worse yet when it's commonly agreed upon it was said with absolutely no malintent, who holds the actual power? I've never heard the phrase "punching up" by anyone who didn't have a very warped vision of what power really is. If you can ruin the lives of people who meant no ill will, simply be deciding to be offended, (often on behalf of someone else), then you clearly have the power, and also the actual ill will. Perhaps you are the exception to the rule, but I've never heard that phrase from someone who wasn't malevolent on some level.

  40.  @tmapaman7080  That only applies to icebergs etc (ice already 100% in the water). Any snow/ice that's currently on land that melts and goes into the oceans would increase the levels. Antarctica does have lots of ice that's on top of solid ground.

  41. It's literally across a bridge from Sweden. Maybe he means she'll take a day trip to Copenhagen? (though that part did get me too).

  42. I had to laugh when they said the country had 30% inflation, and that bitcoin was the answer, as if it can't fluctuate 30% in a year. I'll never understand people who think bitcoin is a safe haven versus the stock market when it fluctuates much more wildly.

  43. I'm a moron. Canada was doing this was $20 coins a bunch of years back. They were special edition Looney Tunes ones. I should've bought the whole lot.

  44.  @herknorth  Yeah, They have NW, NE, SW, SE and the streets and ave's are mostly numbered.

  45. The only way to do it would be if you were somehow backed by the American government. Obviously that would create a whole host of other problems but you have to make it so the local government wouldn't dream of taking your land. I have no idea how to do that though.
    3
  46. She doesn't understand how economics works. That money has to be created, then put into the system in a way that means they go into debt to do it. They have to pay interest on that money, plus it leads to inflation. They don't just print money and give it away with no consequences. That's not how it works. She doesn't understand the absolute basics yet she sure has a solid opinion and decent sized platform to state that opinion.

  47. In Vancouver, there are places you can go and bring your illegal street drugs to test them for purity. You can also get peyote and mushrooms and all kinds of stuff here in a retail establishment. Did I mention the drug problem is absolutely out of control here and the homeless problem has skyrocketed since they started safe injection sites, etc.?

  48.  @connor9423  Yeah, the fact that unions are not a meritocracy is one of the major reasons I don't respect them.

  49. Are you high? He said the customers get to choose with their wallets. He wishes they'd choose differently but they don't and he lives with that. That's as libertarian as it gets.

  50. Corn is entirely subsidized. Lots of agriculture is. Also, I'm a long time vegetarian but I've seen some damn compelling evidence about the size of ancient guts etc that we really did get the big brains etc because of meat. I also think that now that we have those big brains which can get us sources of protein that don't require meat that it's time we moved past it.
    2
  51. Hard-core libertarians are an inherent contradiction. They get mad when any sort of rule is imposed on anything, yep they don't believe that the world should be legit anarchy. You have to have some rules in a society. You can't have zero rules or nothing functions. It's about where that line in the sand is.
    2
  52.  @santouchesantouche2873  That's absolutely empirically incorrect. BTW, it's also logically incorrect since birth rates have plummeted yet populations increase which means all the wealth couldn't have inherited it since most immigrants aren't wealthy. Also, to have wealth to leave to your kids you have to earn it first. You act like the original money just appeared out of thin air.

  53. Wow, this is one of the best quotes I've seen in quite some time. Nailed it!
    2
  54. I'm in construction safety. My paperwork requirements at my company are SO nuts that I am completely incentivized to turn a blind eye to every incident I possibly can. And at my last company, every time I tried to suggest an improvement to something the boss thought it was a great idea, and told me to look into it and spend all the work to make it happen. It didn't personally benefit me in anyway way yet I was required to do all of the work. I stopped suggesting ways to improve his business.
    2
  55. Nobody wants a place literally free of regulation. That's when guns come in and then there's nothing but "regulation". Zero people on earth want zero regulation. It's like how absolutely nobody wants. True free-market capitalism. Imagine a world without patent protection. Nobody would spend the R&D money. A world without rules would immediately invite a warlord in, or other form of corruption.
    2
  56. Yeah her idea literally is "Just make some money up and have them made, problem solved". FFS if it was that easy that's how everything would work. Does she think that nobody has ever had that idea before? Yeesh.
    2
  57. What a great video. Both sides got a chance to explain their side, and the viewer is left to decide for themselves. It seemed to have a "don't spend" bias, but not by much. Very well done. Why can't all discourse be this way?
    2
  58. yeah I'm not buying the premise of the video. People are now realizing just how much they want to get out and interact. As for the growing suburbs, that's just cuz the cities are in such high demand people can't afford to be there. Saying suburbs are growing cuz people are sick of cities is ridiculous. I normally like this channel but this video is not well thought out at all and goes against a clear worldwide trend of everyone migrating to big cities. Cities are more interactive and connected.
    2
  59. It's not just you. Canada was horrific in its lack of logic and reason.
    2
  60. That's why every economist worth their salt only really cares about one main thing: incentives. Like the expression goes, show me the incentive, and I'll tell you the result. And the left is WAY more vitriolic than the right. The right might roll their eyes and tell you you're a naïve idiot, but they don't go nearly as crazy as the left. The left will try to end your livelihood if they disagree. The obvious tell of that crowd is when they attack you before your ideas (if they even attack the ideas at all).

  61. Canada: hold my beer.

  62. Sounds like the 2008 financial crisis.

  63. The current energy problem is exactly that so it blows my mind that Joe Biden is asking brutal regimes for cheap energy. The Canadian Prime Minister will blame greedy oil companies for high prices when he does everything he can to limit production. It's beyond belief.

  64. Yet the best city to navigate. It’s a giant grid and when someone tells you the nearest intersection, you know exactly where they are. I miss that. Sidenote: I’m absolutely blown away that Alberta allows automated speed traps. That seems like the least Alberta thing ever.

  70. Fauci is literally delusional. He believes his own story. If he was trying to hide the fact he was guilty, he would avoid the media like the plague. He honestly has Eric Cartman level self-delusion. I think he's much like Justin Trudeau in that fashion. They honestly don't understand that they are lying evil egomaniacs.

  71. In Canada, we had a government handout program and so many people used it that a Covid vaccination centre near my home couldn't find people to staff it. They were offering a ridiculous pay because could get so much just sitting at home. They struggled mightily to get people just to be greeters because nobody wanted to work.
    2
  72. This is nothing new. Remember the Gitmo waterboarding? Not torture to induce the feeling of drowning in someone. OJ didn't do it. If you are powerful enough there's a good chance you get away scott free.

  73. Giving people accurate views into both sides of an issue is literally the antithesis of propaganda, by definition. Your personal views on meat don't change the meaning of the word. This is why I hate extremists so much (and I'm a longtime vegetarian, by the way). Just because you side with a position doesn't mean that it's not propaganda to show only one side of a debate. In this respect, you are the one with the propaganda.

  76. Zach was in a video recently where he was pushing the vaccine narrative so hard I thought it was CNN. Almost all of the comments on that video where people extremely disappointed at the hostess for their new year bias, which was extremely on libertarian and bordering on authoritarian. Wanna channels on viewers are almost exclusively negatively, commenting, the channel should take a step back and evaluate.

  78.  @santouchesantouche2873  If you have an actual rebuttal I'm all for it, but just saying "makes no sense" contributes nothing. At least I made points. And I think you need to read my comment again and truly think about it because it makes perfect sense.

  79. Facebook labelled a post of mine misleading when I posted direct screenshots from a government website during Covid. Criminal harassment of an individual person should be moderated, and nobody disagrees with that. Everybody says there should be no moderation, except for illegal speech, etc. You are being as disingenuous as it gets because these people are making factual cases. They are being very specific about what they want to see and you're taking it in a different direction and getting mad at them for it. Stop reading between the lines and take them at their word. They could not be more specific about what they don't want taken down. You know damn well that tremendous numbers of people were silenced over things that were absolutely 100% accurate. People lost their livelihoods over it. Moderating "misinformation" is what they are clearly talking about, and moderaters of that can get F'd.

  82. 5:05 He explains why the bill ISN'T needed. It has to be malicious? If a doctor is spreading information with malicious intent then they can already be punished severely. That's already doable so why the new law? Then he has the stones to say that "misinformation" is VERY specific. Is it now? If it has to be malicious, how do you go about proving intent? That's often as murky as it gets ipso facto: not very specific nor direct. He's saying something that is untrue while introducing a bill to combat people saying things that aren't true?

  84. @@stevel6660 "l greed is the very thing that makes it work." Absolutely nobody wants a free market. Nobody at all. Would you invest ungodly sums of money to come up with a new thing to sell if anyone could copy it tomorrow? Imagine all the research and development going into a new drug that you have no ability to patent. Same with the latest gizmo. And nobody wants monopolies, except for the monopolies, and ultimately they destroy innovation and progress because they don't need to innovate if the barrier to entry is too high for competition.

  87. And she thinks that a neurosurgeon should live in the same place as a burger flipper and pay the same percentage. A dozen+ years of intense schooling means you should pay way more money for the same place. You're literally being punished for working hard. That's a very different thing than the wealthy paying a higher percentage of tax because they are paying more and also getting more. In the housing case they pay more (because they worked harder) but get nothing more at all.

  89. It's beyond belief to me that nobody seems to look at unintended consequences for any of the leftist ideas that are creeping up lately. I say leftist because there are very, very few places that are as far right as many cities are far left these days. Almost all the coastal cities are in so much trouble. As a Vancouver and Victoria BC, Canada resident the future here is quite grim as the consequences are compounding here as well. Sorry you guys had such insane lockdowns, even worse than parts of Canada had. Thank god for Sky News so I could keep up with the insanity there. Best of luck.

  90. ​ @seansingh8862  The right are called conservative for a reason. They are way less prone to change of any sort so they usually aren't the ones to institute new laws that mess things up in unintended ways. They inherently see all change as more prone to unintended consequences which is why they tend to avoid it.

  91. Because libertarianism is about the individual first and foremost. Unions are not really about that because once a union exists, the individual has no choice but to join it if it wants to work where the union covers. Your comment only makes sense if non-unionized people were also allowed to get those jobs. Unless that happens, the individual is still under the control of a governing body.

  107. " and ignored the greedy right-wing capitalists " You are writing that comment on something made to exist because of a giant, greedy corporation and you are publishing it on a platform that is the same. New inventions and innovations were rare in non capitalist societies. You can't embrace and enjoy all the perks capitalism gave you, then shit all over it from a moral high ground. Also, capitalism has empirically lowered the rates of extreme poverty in the last 2 decades in developing nations at a rate that far exceeded the UN's wildest dreams. Capitalism has many flaws, but so far nothing has even come close to improving humanity like it has. Not even close. It's unbelievably disrespectful to tell the other people who don't enjoy your lifestyle that they don't get to have it because capitalism isn't perfect.

  114. 1:40 I'd like to see examples of the "negative, toxic images". Also, I want to know what the end goal is from anti gentrification groups is. Do they want the neighbourhoods to be able to keep the same people at the expense of the neighbourhood being dramatically improved? How is that going to help in the long run? I digress though. How does a small mom & pop style business hurt the community? He is not a multinational corp that is going to tear down a character building and build something unsightly. I'd like to hear more of the argument. And if he had integrity, he'd have responded to Reason.

  115. Jon took a very notable turn for the worse after he got his pee-pee whacked for going on the Colbert show (don't get me started) and talked about covid coming from the lab. He admitted his tribe was very angry at him. Right after that he became a different person. He's now a gross apologist for lies and deception all over the place. I really liked him up until relatively recently.

  116. In my city in Canada, they just have either a smiley face or a frowny face depending on if you’re under or over the limit. It’s cute, but going barely over the limit gets you a frowny face so there’s no incentive to go any faster.

  117. It's just pinching the hose. How anyone can say that rising debt isn't a bad thing is beyond me. Rising debt is literally not sustainable, in the most straightforward way. It's basically a way of saying "I will be long dead before it becomes a problem so who cares?"

  119. 5:30. No actual direct quotes or evidence given? This is the hallmark of Wokeism and the leftists. The best example of Jordan Peterson. He has constantly accused of things yet there's never a smoking gun. Ever. Dozens and dozens of hours of him speaking and he's written books, and they can't point do a single concrete thing. It's so intellectually dishonest I can't handle it.

  121. Very well put. There is zero chance this will work if they don't get support from the government. End of story. They really need to do a big public campaign, emphasizing that their own constitution for bids expropriation. They also need to fund local community projects. Build some schools and playgrounds etc. You damn well better be making a visible positive difference in the community because being poor does NOT cause people to become depressed and angry. Wealth inequality does. For them it's all a PR campaign. I don't see this experiment ending well, but maybe there are things to be learned from it. Part of the reason I don't see it ending well, that undermines the socialist government's entire message, and reason for existence. Socialism. Then, again, maybe it will work. Stranger things have happened.

  122. When I asked the average person on the street, why they hate Trump so much they will always say that is a terrible ruler, but then I asked them to tell me which pieces of legislation, or what specific policy they are against, they always go back to vague character assassinations.

  123. I'm having a hard time regaining my trust of Weissmueller after I saw a horrific video that he did about the vaccines, Wareham and the other host parroted all the main stream media, talking points about vaccines and all of that stuff. It was awful and I never expected it from a libertarian channel. I don't want to let one video taint the entire channel, so I'm trying to watch more to get back on board.

  125. I believe that if someone gives you a full-time hours, they deserve to be able to live. You should be able to afford to share a shitty 2br apartment with another minimum wage worker, along with food and a bus pass and basic cell bill. The basics. That means the minimum wage should be different in different cities. But to tell someone that full time employment isn't even good enough to live is fucked up. I also can't stand this bs of "It teaches you skills you can use to get better jobs". That's absolute nonsense with even a modicum of thought. Unless you get NEW skills that translate to higher paying jobs, flipping burgers at McD's will not get you anything else other than minimum wage. I say if the business can't afford minimum wage, then you don't have a viable business. Yeah a few less people will be employed but I think it's better to have 80% with jobs that can actually keep them afloat as opposed to 1/2 of them earning fuck-all and driving them deeper into a hole. And if you for one second think that in bad times employers won't abuse the lack of minimum wage laws then you are detached from reality.

  127. At the federal level, nobody ever admits a mistake. They just blame it on the other guys. I guess it happens even at a more local level. A city can be run by democrats for 40 years, in a blue state under blue governors under a blue president and they will still somehow blame the other team.

  128. Yup. Apathy is the issue. People are technically capable of so, so much more but they aren't motivated to give a shit and it's so sad because the world would be so much better if people didn't do just the bare minimum to not get fired.

  129. She lost the very last bit of possible respect I had for her when she made a connection between tipping and slavery and structural racism. If I had a dollar for every well off POC woman who told me how hard everybody but the white man has it, I'd be driving a nicer car and renting a nicer apartment. Still not as nice as hers though. These people are no different than telephone scammers.

  132. In Canada it IS a crime, literally, if a court orders it. The court can order you to refer to your own child as a different gender. There are cases in Canada where this has happened and if you don't comply, you are legally in trouble. Canada is scarily going down the path of authoritarianism.

  135. Bingo. Let's experiment. I'm sick of people saying things can't work when they've never been tried in earnest before. Then, again, no amount of defeat will discourage some people. Look at communism.

  136. 3:50 So the people who are losing their jobs are the ones who make less than twice min wage. So you causing people who make the least to lose the most. Okay then.

  140. No you wouldn't, because no you couldn't. It's like when Parlour was taken out of AWS because Amazon didn't like them. And not only do you require other companies for you to have a site on the web, you need to tow the party line or you'll get shut down way before you get big enough to be able to tell them to fuck themselves.

  141. The San Francisco one is so gross and so California. You can be on your iPhone made by borderline slaves, and using cobalt mined by small children in horrific conditions, but God forbid another state has a policy on bathrooms you don’t like. Virtue signalers make me sick.

  146. Normally I like your stuff, but this video does not live up to your normal standards. It talks out of both sides of its mouth, like saying that automation killed the manufacturing and not sending production overseas, but then also talking about how "millions and millions of workers" can earn a wage and get out of poverty overseas. I was very interested in the answers to these questions but I didn't get real data to chew on. This guy gives things much closer to sound bites that don't have any substance. America is the second biggest manufacturing base in the world, but what was it before? Don't ever give me data that's not relative to anything. One data point doesn't help with anything. It also ignores the fact that the United States has a giant population. You can't compare its manufacturing output to Germany on an even basis. Comparing it to Germany is silly if it's not based on population, and it's silly anyways because Germany has done the same thing as America with outsourcing. I don't really have an opinion on globalization and I was hoping this video would help me come to a conclusion but it doesn't at all. I'm sorry but I'm very disappointed in this video. It was sorely lacking in substance. He also talks about things like how worker output is higher in America. Who cares? That literally has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is whether it is good or bad or a mix to have more things produced overseas. It's also absolute complete nonsense to say that there are less jobs overall but that's a global phenomenon. It's complete nonsense because right after it you specifically talk about all kinds of jobs that went overseas. This feels like a rushed video. Next time I'm really hoping you make a video that's more logical and objective because this one is purely rhetoric.

  148. Evidence based solutions, no less. How can anybody with a conscience not have every school like this? I don't care what it would take to fund it, in 2 generations you'd completely turn around society.

  149.  @travisthompson1679  my point wasn’t specific to this video. I was talking more about the concept in general. In Canada the government can take your land and give you a “fair market value“ whether you like it or not because they want to put a road through there or turn it into condos or whatever. This is extremely common and there’s not thing one you can do about it. A good friend of mine‘s father was the one who took the land from people in one of the biggest cities in Canada. If you bought a piece of land five years ago on the outskirts and wanted to keep it and use it as your retirement plan because you thought in 30 years it would be worth a ton of money, too bad. You have to sell it today at fair market value and if the market is down you can get screwed even on that. And technically the government doesn’t have to give you fair market value. They just do because of the optics.

  154. That reminds me of how there's this weird new paradigm in journalism where they believe that it's morally irresponsible to not try to be biased and influence the viewer. It's so arrogant I can't handle it. These people feel that they were able to take all of the information and forms a "correct" position but they don't feel the public would be able to do the same thing.
