🚨 Canada is cooked
The Liberals are floating Canada joining the EU.
The Brits left.
The Greeks were ruined by it.
The Italians regret it.
Germany is in recession.
France can’t form a government.
Half of Europe wants out.
And Carney’s Liberals are seriously asking if Canada should join?
🤣

Another report about a builder raising their prices after the HST was dropped on new builds.
Shazi@ShaziGoalie
HST rebate announced ➡️ buyers think relief is coming. Builders? They just raised prices. That “rebate” didn’t lower costs It got absorbed into the price. $1.3M ➡️ $1.45M overnight for the SAME house. Policy meant to help buyers…ended up protecting margins instead.

This what Israel did in Gaza. This is what Trump is doing for Israel in Iran with our money and our soldiers.

Once upon a time terrorists & sleeper cells operated in covert secrecy via burner phones, coded messages, and dead drops.
Now they flaunt their allegiances & ideologies out in the open on their personal public social media pages.
Thankfully for us they’ve only gotten dumber.

My comment section said developers weren’t increasing prices after the deferrals and rebates yet the proof is stacking up.
Developers are greedy.
They don’t care about U!
EconomicWoes 🤖@ManyBeenRinsed
Builders across Ontario are increasing their prices for homes after the HST rebate. The greed is palpable. They don’t care about U - it’s all about lining their pockets. Disgusting.

When you fucked up the economy so badly, that all you have left to brag about is our debt to GDP ratio.

@ShaziGoalie @BenRabidoux @ronmortgageguy @JShamess @danielfoch Having this conversation about a $1.3M (now $1.45M) home is the more ridiculous part.

@igetredpilled @ManyBeenRinsed Looks positively moderate when it’s on $22.6T, in an economy with 1.8% GDP growth, and a national debt of $38T with a growth rate of ~7%.

If you don’t realize the corporate compromised government through the system is lending you your own money in copious amounts in exchange for your paycheck for the next three 300 years of your life, then you have no idea what’s coming.
People are not human in this corporate compromise government. They are economic assets, and that’s why immigration is extremely popular.

@ronmortgageguy The SFH has become a luxury good (like cars are also becoming) unavailable to the Middle Class, which is shrinking and unable to compete globally on a wage basis.
Also, subdivision SFHs that were built, are not the best quality. Like buying a Gucci bag at the Pacific Mall.

Builders are just Businesses: they will take the route of least resistance
If Government favors Multi-family & Rentals that's what Builders will give you
Which leaves the Single Family Home to only be available to the old who bought long ago
Or the Rich

Let's Just Admit It: All Levels Of Government Have Worked To Destroy The Type Of Housing Most People Actually Want

California started HSR in 2008. Cost has ballooned from $33B to $136B to $232B to go from SF to LA. $15B spent already and not a single segment of track laid. New plan is to go from Merced to Bakersfield. California has double the population density of Toronto-Montreal corridor.

America’s hopes for its first high-speed rail line were kindled in 2008, when California voters approved a ballot measure for a bullet train between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Nearly two decades later, that dream is yet to arrive. cbsn.ws/48jzMBx

The mood in 🇨🇦 is shifting fast.
In just 4 weeks, the economy has surged to the #1 concern for Canadians… jumping to 23%.
Not Trump.
Not inflation.
Not healthcare.
The ECONOMY.
And it’s not hard to see why.
Groceries up.
Gas rising.
Pressure building.
This isn’t just sentiment…
It’s stress showing up in real time.

@ScottNewmanWpg @TheReclamare @acoyne Ah yes. Parking costs. That’ll make all the difference and justify the HSR profligacy.

The proposed CDN High Speed Rail will cost every taxpayer $7,800 for every single ticket sold, during the lifetime of its operation
This is based on European adaption of High Speed Rail, using Canada's transport statistics, and common sense🧵

@DrEleanore1 @acoyne In that case I look forward to seeing your critical commentary on Canada’s Indigenous community dog culls. You can start here. You’re welcome!

This is very disturbing.
Tbilisi, in particular, is overrun with stray dogs -- they are allowed to wander in and out of hotels and restaurants -- which is partly charming (it's hard not to smile when you see them) and partly troubling: while the state neuters and vaccinates many of them, they are otherwise left to fend for themselves.
No one disagrees that more efforts need to be made to control the stray dog population -- and to better look after the existing dogs -- but reports are accumulating of street dogs being scooped up and dumped by the highway far from their home areas, or possibly even euthanized.
It's not clear how many, at this point, and the authorities deny they are being killed. But an authoritarian regime like Georgia's does not enjoy the benefit of the doubt. Brutality and slaughter as the solution to social ills is part of the autocrats' DNA.

@DrEleanore1 @acoyne Rural and remote Inuit and First Nation communities across Canada undertake regular dog culls as a matter of public safety. Very Canadian of you and on brand for @acoyne to judge others despite it happening in your own backyard.

@acoyne A man who’d needlessly destroy or harm a dog when there are other options, then lie about it, is capable of almost anything when it comes to removing inconvenient or helpless fellow humans.
