Which is why the government should create a crown corporation to do it. 50 year cost neutral goal so rent would be low. Make the apartments reasonable sizes for single and family units (not these shoe boxes that they are marketing at the moment). Make the people living in them determined by...

If densification didn’t happen there would be no cities in the country only a bunch of scattered farm houses on 100+ acre lots. There are some very valid concerns with some densification though. In this case 6 house holds with 3 parking spots in the suburbs isn’t a good thing. Should be one per...

Still doesn’t change my answer. I was willing to kill or be killed in whatever questionable endeavour the government decided to or was forced to take part in no matter the morality of it. I am of the opinion that sometimes to make things better we must go forward with it despite the occasional...

I would be willing to take one for the team if the other option would be being locked up for the rest of my life for a crime I didn’t commit. Both are the same net result at the end of the day.

I take the opposite approach, I don’t think the state can get it right 100% of the time, but that is the risk of living society. If 100% correct is the required standard we shouldn’t be allowed to imprison anyone. We already have the death penalty, life in prison is the death penalty just with...

12 gauge 00 buck, keep it simple. Death will be basically guaranteed, and you won’t have to worry that much about the backstop.

Generally desire to separate is created by isolation in the political process. Doesn't matter if there is 'culture' or not. If people feel excluded they won't want to join in, especially when they are funding a substantial portion of everyone else's budget (i.e. paying the cost of confederation...

No we reserve that line for the Israeli/Gaza conflict.

The whole reason the trans-Canada isn’t twinned is that northern ontario section. I really hope it is done but I doubt the Ontario government will do anything to make it happen.

Knowing Parliamentary rules and enforcing them evenly are two very different things. Personally I think she would be a terrible one. After that big stink she made about the 'F word' (fart), I question what value she can really bring to the role.

Remember deals don’t have to last forever. As the US has proven they can be cancelled at any time. The 1994 Budapest memorandum being a great example. If it helps Ukraine get a favourable peace and allows them to position themselves to prevent future Russian invasions then unfortunately that...

Change isn’t always better. Pushing change for changes sake isn’t a good thing. Sometimes that change directly harms people too such as the change in housing prices, or the increase in cost of living, or loss of good paying secure jobs, or education inflation for a ever decreasing in pay entry...

Part of their issue is those blue collar unionist jobs have been disappearing for decades thanks to globalization and internal policies which discourage industry in Canada. Internal policies that the NDP support (things like industrial carbon taxes, etc.) at the moment hence the blue collar jobs...

The Liberals will not unite me as they actively scapegoat and attack me. As others in this thread have pointed out, this election has a direct financial impact on me. I have about 4k of property which is likely to get confiscated and about 16k of property which I can no longer sell making it’s...

The reason Ford has done so well in Ontario is he basically is a Liberal. Fiscally irresponsible, definitely corrupt, runs on some populist policies which he isn’t married to (he will switch as the polls change). It is why the Liberals can’t bounce back in Ontario he is running in their...

I think there is less people doing stupid stuff/stunts than the past. Less people go outside and due to the knowledge everything is being watched people tend to be better behaved. It is just the few doing it is much more advertised.

One company I worked for cared about what you had to say even if you were at the bottom provided it was a real concern. Lots of issues caught and rectified before they became major. The next one I worked for wanted you to shut up and not speak about any issue whatsoever. Then it was the blame...

Considering cradle to grave studies on Electric cars prove they are just as bad as a gasoline car it really is just smoke and mirrors from the government. There is a very good chance the future isn’t electric. It is very costly for rare earth metals and again it isn’t any better considering how...

Except thanks to our desire for bilingualism at the upper echelons of everything, our government apparatus tends to favour Quebec. Military, government, civil service, etc. if you can’t speak both languages you hit the glass ceiling. That makes it much harder for the majority of Canadians to...

Wages may have gone up 20k for you but for a large portion of the population it hasn’t. Inflation has eaten up more than most people have gained. My apartment in Halifax circa 2014-15 cost 860$ a month for a two bedroom apartment. That same outdated 60s apartment is now going for 2300$. My...
