I mean, I’m probably voting Liberal (the NDP have had a strong showing in my riding in the past, so I’m not entirely decided), but I kind of believe this.
Carney is obviously the least comfortable out of the main candidates in speaking in French. I don’t believe the cost is a real factor. Maybe “afraid” isn’t the right word, but it does seem to be strategic in a way that avoids potential negative exposure for him. I have mixed feelings about it.
Carney declined to do a common/popular debate in Quebec.
Yep, this is where I am too.
I’m annoyed at having to vote Liberal, to be honest, but I hope this election makes it clear that cozying up to American populists is a losing strategy in Canada.
lol Were you just looking for a comment so you could flex about your property deals?
Personally, I’m a millennial and I’m okay – we recently sold our starter home and we got way more than we were expecting for it. But it didn’t make me feel “smart” it made me feel gross that the market seems so rigged.
I’m not talking about individuals, I’m talking about trends. The priority for housing should first and foremost be to house people.
Yeah, Boomers getting special protections is kind of annoying.
A generation of millenials were told to go to post secondary no matter the cost and then when we did and incurred a ton of debt but the good jobs that were promised to us weren’t there, the reaction was “oops, oh well, get fucked I guess”.
Maybe if we stopped funneling a billion dollars into “managing” our CPP plan into poorer performance and used that money to increase CPP payouts instead, boomers could afford more of a hit on their housing.
I do wonder if another large contributing factor is that most of our MPs have conflicts of interest when it comes to the real estate market.
Is there a practical component to your argument or are you just sticking with ideal hypotheticals.
Yeah, not a valid excuse in my mind. It shows a disturbing lack of responsibility/accountability.
