Our current military budget is $51,703,553,000. Our budget for Veterans Affairs Canada is $8,171,287,460, and that's with a massive $110,000,000 cut. Nobody wants to say it, but she shouldn't be spending 15% of our military budget on people that aren't part of the military.

@NathanNLLLLL @TrueSlazac No, it really doesn't. Elasticity is measured along the demand curve, which is to say that it isn't constant for a particular kind of good (even housing). Rent control stifles housing construction, which prevents renters from moving, making the price inelastic IN THAT SITUATION.

@CanadianObs @TrueSlazac Inelastic demand quite literally changes the fundementals. And that is the thing with a city like paris, its already very dense so there isnt a lot of room for expansion. A reason btw why quite a lot actual (liberal) economists are for rent control in dense cities

@NathanNLLLLL @TrueSlazac Inelastic demand doesn't change the fundementals here, and demand would be a lot more elastic if renters had an abundance of housing options to choose from.

@fordnation Arenas should charge more for tickets if they don't want people to make money reselling tickets.

Chuck Norris actually died 20 years ago, but Death didn't build up the courage to tell him until now.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby NIMBYs.

Most Canadian veterans have fairly minor disabilities, and the number of veterans receiving compensation for disabilities steadily decreases as the severity of the disability increases, until you reach a massive spike of recipients at 100% disability.

@JJ_McCullough Liberals and Conservatives are mostly tied here, abolishing the monarchy really isn't as right-coded as you think.

Another day, another poll showing that Conservatives favor abolishing the monarchy in Canada more than Liberals. I wish the Conservative Party would listen to their supporters on this issue:

@RealAlbanianPat Meanwhile we spend about 3x as much on OAS than our own armed forces. This woman quite literally receives more government handouts in a year than most young people get in their entire lives.

Most "Liberal Boomers" in this country are just 17th century Russian Aristocrats who whips their serfs because they complained too much
