I think zoning laws, parking requirement and crazy urbanism rules are a form of protectionism that drive home prices up.

It’s crazy that the land you buy is so restricted that the only thing you can do is… nothing asides from trying to win the lawn contest with your neighbors.

In my opinion, those are the factors that led to this catastrophe. Houses are literally frozen. You cannot start a business, you cannot build another house on your land, nothing.

The government can build more affordable housing, sure, but ultimately, we need to let the city build itself without overly restrictive zoning and urbanism by-laws.

It’s fine by me, I misunderstood the ‘helping’ radio station part so it’s irrelevant. Thanks for the clarification!

Oh ok, I thought I read that a small percentage of those taxes would go to local radio somehow.

I don’t understand why streaming services need to help radio stations. Are radio station sharing their profit as well ?

I don’t understand why streaming should support radio ? They should support artists and new artist via taxes though, that makes total sense.

But the radio …?

Because they don’t care about their workers ? Do we really want cars made by Chinese slaves ? Like we do with our t-shirts ? Fuck no.

Why not subsidize electric bike Jesus Christ. Why the fuck are we subsidizing the auto industry, they got us by the fucking balls already.

Sorry but that is idiotic.

Late stage capitalism is much more hidden and affects part of the society you wouldn’t consider.

An example of late stage capitalism is how we don’t have time to make families anymore. It is much cheaper to bring in immigration than to allow men and women to fuck around and raise children instead of working.

Late stage capitalism will fuck with how you, as an individual, can start your own business. Look at how subburbs are made and regulated. You can’t start a small business in here. You gotta go to the designated area which is owned by big box company. The only place is downtown which is now so fucking expensive, you can’t even get in. He’ll, you are not even allowed to build a small coffee shop for your neighbors for Christ’s sake.

International economy is another factor. Look, we had a lot of industry workers in textile, electronics and other industries. Where are they now ? In China, India and other countries because we don’t have to care about these people work place condition. Do you even know how much a t-shirt should cost normally? It’s not supposed to be 4.99$.

This conservative vs liberal is a distraction. Liberals and Conservatives are actively pushing late stage capitalism. It’s a joke. You think Pierre is gonna stop immigration? lol, that’s what late stage capitalism wants. Immigrants that are easy to fuck with because they need a job to stay in this country. It’s horrible.

Pierre or Justin aren’t gonna do any of this social shit. They both want to get those juicy economics number up because that’s a good argument to get re-elected.

Canada is the second largest country. I say we make it THE largest country. Let’s split Russia into many more country. Let’s do it. Let’s ets go.

The sad thing about high taxes like that is that it can penalize normal people with a normal, high income job. 400k won’t probably matter but in my experience, I have a high salary and I don’t have the time or even the money to hire a bunch of people to optimize my taxes in a tax free-heaven paradise.

Normal working people shouldn’t be taxed like crazy. Corporation is the thing we want to target. Large corporations. They have the mean to evade the laws.

The common man and women does not. Even if you have a small company, you do not have the time or the money to ignore the laws or taxes.

Capitalism isn’t made for big corporations. It is made for small company competing with each other. How the fuck the common Man is supposed to compete with Walmart? Like, what??

No, it’s just more convenient to use credit or debit.

Immich all the way my dude.

If you only work at a temporary place for example. You don’t want to bother caring for a house. You want to be able to move whenever you like. You can’t afford a loan or you can’t get one. You cannot guaranty that you will work in the near future.

A mortgage is something that will lock you down to a place. Buying a plac is also something that lock you down. You wanna move to another town for a new job ? Sell the house, buy a new one. That sucks. It’s faster to just rent for a while then maybe buy something after.

The problem are not landlord… At least, not traditional one. It’s because we treat a basic need as an investment. A home should not be an investment. It should be something like a car, it should depreciate with time.

Another thing is NIMBY. Preventing new construction project to protect your investment is another cause of this shitshow.

Another thing is urbanism rule. Homeowner should be allowed to build something on their land instead of playing the lawn competition every year.

Solve these and the landlord thing is gone. The landlord outrage is a distraction from the real plague. It’s just a symptom. Of course a landlord will raise the price if it can, that’s how a market works. Landlord can raise the price because we don’t construct enough. That is the real outrage and that’s what we should focus on. Not this shitty ragebait dividing piece of false problem.

Renting is useful for so many reason. Not everyone wants to take care of a house or can afford one.

If you camp somewhere and you’re not allowed, expect to be thrown out I guess ?

This is always how it ends up. That’s the point of the protest. Make as much noise as you can to denounce the genocide.

They should resist as much as they can and come back a week later.

Yea, I would assume Canada is not breaking Geneva convention here. Just assessing what kind of people are in the country. Unless I missunderstood, they are not excluding these people because they gave medical attention to Hamas soldier/activist.

Hamas is considered a terrorism organization by Canada. 70%+ of Palestiniens support Hamas. I don’t think it would be normal to not ask questions to Palestinians, especially what they did in Egypt and Jordan.

You wouldn’t want Hamas activism in Canada. Even if the Genocide must be stopped, Hamas still cold bloodily killed 1200 civilians.

Like, imagine having Hamas activism in Canada. They wouldn’t just protest. They would probably be much more violent.
