That sounds like an entrepreneurial opportunity to remedy the situation!

I’m also a bit confused about the fact that good cell service seems to add points, and having dangerous animals also adds points?

That being said, a TREMENDOUS amount of work went into this and I love the infographic. Very well done!

Adanac strikes again!

There were at least 50 of these flags across 30 or so cars that I saw. But yeah, those aren’t HUGE numbers so if they organized offline and distributed the flags among themselves it could be about anything.

I saw it on the 417 between Ottawa and Montreal. This picture is in Ottawa.

With the trucker convoy sticker and the anti-trans save our children sticker, I’d say the ods are is horrible.

Everyone is out here defending landlords saying things like “there are good and bad landlords AND tenants”. Just the fact that 99.4% of rent is collected ON TIME shows the problem isn’t tenants. If 99.4% of landlords were “good landlords” we could have a “both sides suffer” argument but we’re at least 50% away from that.

Yeah, housing can’t be an investment AND affordable. Investments have to grow faster than inflation. Affordable things can’t do that.

That being said it’s hard to blame “homeowners” because the goal is to make more people into homeowners, it’s kind of backwards to antagonize the goal itself.

Certainly though the current perception needs to change, you don’t buy a house as an investment, you buy it so that you get to keep your “rent” as equity, and you get to lock down your “rent” over 25+ years so that it effectively gets cheaper in relation to your income.

That’s fair.

It’s funny, conservatives seem to be able to make Canada shittier no matter what. We try to get dental care in the provinces but they’ll stop it’s implementation. So now we have to pay extra to get the private sector to fund it, and they win again since we just privatised some of our healthcare.

I doubt it. The provincial governments already run massive “health insurance” programs in Canada, this would not have been an impossible task to add a small dental program that only covers a fraction of the population to that.

Private “health insurance” cannot be cheaper than public. You have expenses which are the cost of people going to the dentist. And you have revenues, which are paid for through taxes. The only math that changes is that private insurance also adds profit for shareholders on top.

This is purely about privatizing Canadian healthcare.

Montreal is a long way from having the kind of culture where they can have no garbage cans AND no litter. Let’s just put some garbage cans in problem areas and reduce the trash problem.

Yeah there is definitely some strangeness going on since most Muslims consider all seafood halal

You can find other references, maybe Shia Muslims ban shellfish, I’m not sure but it’s certainly not the dominant sect of Islam.

I definitely think this is a great answer, with the only caveat being that working in a space that doesn’t have windows all day is pretty lame. I’d like to see what that would look like.

I believe the hurdle for that might be regulatory. For good reason in my opinion because mixing residential and commercial/retail on the same indoor floor has a lot of unique considerations that I’m not sure have been looked at. Letting real estate hedge funds decide based on profit only will be a nightmare lol

*to profitably retrofit.

Office buildings have too much “inside space”. Regulations, and human life, requires windows for residential living areas, so this inside space is “wasted” in office to apartment refits. There are tons of great ideas on what to do with this space in terms of community space, but very few profitable ones. Once commercial rents crashe and these buildings lose most of their values you’ll be surprised what becomes profitable again lol.

That’s a false equivalence if I’ve ever heard one.

• The trucker convoy was based on sovereign citizen nonsense and conspiracy theories. This protest is against genocide.
• The convoy shut down whole blocks of downtown, creating a dangerous zone of lawlessness and people shitting in the snow. This protest doesn’t prevent university business, and is law abiding and sanitary.
• The convoy stored thousands of pounds of propane and diesel fuel within mere meters from Parliament combined with idiots shooting fireworks, and this protest has zero chance of literally blowing up parliament.
• The convoy was so dangerous that the police didn’t even dare enter to enforce laws, the OPS police chief repeatedly said there is nothing they could do without endangering officers, student protests like this are routinely and often brutally stopped by police action without any threat of harm or injury to the police.

So no, I don’t think they’re equivalent in any way. I hope these protestors continue until they’re successful without having their right to peaceful assembly curtailed unjustly.

What a disgusting comment. You should be ashamed!

And to top it off we’ve been electing conservatives in many provinces who seem hell-bent on gutting healthcare so they can privatise it
