This is just an example of how this was never about Oct 7. The West bank has a completely different government than the Hamas led gaza strip. There are no hostages in the west bank. This is a provocative act as isntreal continues to try and make a wider regional conflict.

They prop up prices in a lot of ways, the first one that comes to mind is extending the length of a mortgage. That makes housing both more affordable, but also makes the banks a lot more money.

We have all of our eggs in that basket. Also, I went to an affordable housing conference in 2018. At that point, Canada was in crisis. Prices are much higher now

Thanks… There’s a lot of reasons why this analogy isn’t going to last now because supply and demand is grade school economics. Check out all of the ways government is subsidizing construction of units. And how does it work when a company is selling units, but they have to have an increase in revenue quarter over quarter? They can’t suddenly sell for less. Otherwise stock price will fall and executive’s will have to take parachutes. Government doesn’t want all these companies to fail, so they prop up the prices. This thing is far too complicated for supply and demand economics. Anyone selling that has invested in real estate

Supply and demand doesn’t begin to explain Canadian housing issues. If I have 10 apples that i sell $1/piece, I’m not going to start selling them at $.75/piecewhen I get 30 apples.

Breaking a 2000 year record

I guess if you deny a country entry into the Olympics based on genocide and apartheid it’s antisemitic

Good advice. It’s also good to have clear boundaries set up. The ideal. The what you expect, and the non negotiable. Start with the ideal. Expecting to get pushed towards what you expect. Never budge on the nonnegotiable.

Too big to fail? Search is only one revenue stream.

You only need 30% of the vote to get a majority government in Canada

I know I’ve been told that he was eventually run over. Probably by some grade school teacher.

I keep seeing people discount Chinese achievement because they ‘steal’ the tech. I don’t think my country could pull this off even after stealing all the tech. It’s quite an achievement. I hope this’ll show people what’s coming. China isn’t rising anymore. They’re rolling out of bed. The next century belongs to them

I’ve switched to frozen vegetables for the same reason. The way I normally cook, it doesn’t make an appreciable difference to me, and I don’t have a crisper that’s filled with a moldy who knows what from however long ago that was.

I’ve gotten blueberries from Costco that went moldy the day after. I’ve never had a serious issue with frozen food going bad
