  2. What is dumb about it? That does these clowns do a poor job explaining it does not mean it is crazy. This is something already being done at air ports and is nothing new.

  8. They do not have enough funding, the leadership that Alberta votes for ensures it. Giving these monster politicians a pass and blaming administrators is mindless.

  9. Why do you think there are criminals to find as a result of a world wide pandemic?

  10.  @Mollycrimey  Ah, do you think there is more or less evidence for that than you are out of touch with reality and are not a thought leader on any subject?

  13.  @samoday2992  On the first condo we bought they spent 9 months looking at least 3 or 4 properties a week until we found exactly what we wanted. On my house they went well above and beyond. First the location was well outside their standard market meaning significant travel time and a guaranteed low commission from non agent seller. On owners announced decision day they sat outside the house waiting to make a counter offer in case we did not win. He picked another purchaser and then in person offered a counter offer they won. We later had a need to push back the possession date a month and they paid for lawyers out of their own pocket to transfer the sale date to simply to make it more convenient for us. Not everyone has had your terrible experience, I did not. My agent is the only reason I own the house I do.

  14. ​ @samoday2992 The standard 1% asked for by non agent sellers, buddy paid them not me. On top they took a cut by paying for a lawyer to an agreed change of the deal after signing it. They were worth every nickle they costed me, nothing. Without them someone else got the deal, it was their experience and skill that won me my home.

  15.  @samoday2992  The seller pays them, have you ever bought a home?

  16.  @samoday2992  The seller pays 2.5 to their agent and the buyers agent. In my case buddy was his own agent and negotiated down to 1% to mine. Not complex. I paid 4.5% on my sale. 2% to my agent and 2.5% to theirs. Less value there but I am glad I had them.

  17.  @samoday2992  You are confused. I did buy one. I told you details of the story. Buying cost me no agency fees but then it never does. I paid 4.5% to sell mine. I could have found a buyer with a cheaper agent but I was eager to sell. I am cool with how much it cost as I still made out good on the deal. If this was my business I would be looking to shave points. It is not so chose to absorbe it as cost. I got better value by being professionally represented. I do understand that is not always the case.

  18.  @samoday2992  I bought a property with a realtor that cost me nothing because the seller pays. I later sold that property, paid commission (on the sale) and then bought my current house The only reason I own my current home is because of my agent. They got me a great deal from a private seller who screwed himself out of money trying to avoid commission. It is not always best to go agentless, I know in my case it was a win and buddy I bought from lost money that should have been his. When you buy without an agent the only person that saves money is the seller as they do not have to pay the commission. I guess you could ask them to kick it back to you on the price but they are not obliged to. It is a questionable move that puts you on the hook to dot the I's and cross the T's of the byzantine legality of the transaction all on your own. Doing so is definitely not for everyone.

  19. Take it back? You and whose ignorant drooling army?

  20.  @funbigly  Buddy is talking about taking Ontario back, from whom, and how if not by force?

  21.  @funbigly  The use of "take it back" makes that option unlikely. The NDP never felt powerful even when they won that once a long time ago.

  22.  @funbigly  Everyone has different perception skills. That you do not like something does nit mean it does not have some value.

  23.  @mikepurdue7472  Safe bet you vote for crooks. That you do not like health policy rules does not mean they do have value

  24. These clowns attacking debt is code for a desire to cut social services to hand more tax cuts to billionaires and multi nationals.

  25.  @simonmasson-dupras3946  Only if not having a job overflows hospitals because it could be cured with a shot. None of these analogies you people are stuck on compare to this situation. They are only shutting things down becuase we have a class of npc that is overflowing the hospitals rusulting in the deaths of responsible. Shut downs are triggered by concerns of running out of hospital beds. Your ilk is the problem.

  26. It is just another tax grab, I thought cons disliked extra taxes.

  30.  @Sleveofwizard  Give it a few mins, the tech is just being widely implemented now. Lighter Batteries with higher power density are already in the pipe. Mileage would be a smarter way to tax the cars usage, weight is the kind of stat that will change over time.

  31.  @soulpowerful  These guys just think they will not pay it so they want the tax issued.

  32.  @Optimistprime.  Trucks in general. Should big vehicles pay more?

  33. They have the services, they will just be charged an extra tax. So the answer is NEVER.

  35.  @tjhagarty700  None of those treatments are validated outside empty conjecture of you tube feeds. The have been new techniques and drugs implemented in covid care but the idea they are denying you useful drugs for some underhanded reason is total nonsense.
