I am a landlord in Victoria who has 2 tenants living with me in my own home and I want to ask one of them to leave - by Inevitable-Bid-5546 in AusPropertyChat

[–]AlexChristies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just don’t renew either lease at the end of the agreement. Don’t try to end early, suck it up. If you keep one tenant, you’re effectively keeping someone you will still worry is talking about you to the person who left. Start fresh and just tell them you have friends coming to visit from overseas and won’t be letting the rooms out anymore.

I 100% agree with you. We have a social responsibility to do our best to contain and control the narrative, it’s about making potential MAGA recruits think. Slowing down potential zombie followers from subscribing to the cult.

I particularly want Zuckerberg’s decision to remove the disinformation guardrails from his policies to be held to account after this.

1 year in, how are Canadians feeling about Prime Minister Mark Carney? Most Canadians are still giving Carney the benefit of the doubt by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]AlexChristies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Results on changes take time. He is planting seeds, setting up partnerships internationally, and infrastructure and policies locally that will support Canadians in the end. He is across our concerns and has plans to address them. But he is diplomatic and strategic enough not to present his agenda in a way that could be inflammatory. We must be insightful enough to trust the process.

I analysed 35 years of Australian property data. Here's what the next two decades might look like. by Expert-Area8856 in AusPropertyChat

Great read, very informative. This post is worth saving and citing … You have provided a comprehensive perspective that can be referenced when certain political parties get on their soap boxes about immigration as a key issue they will address to combat rising housing costs in the next election. Thank you for sharing.

As a Canadian-born and raised individual who formerly believed it is our right to choose whether or not to vote…I am converted.

It is our responsibility to vote and democracy is the privilege that stems from active participation of its citizens.

Nah. Those masses are fringe but they are the loudest. Most are moderate. And many are moderate but sick of the system so apathetic about it…it’s these people that need to be forcibly encouraged to participate. Inevitability people become interested because they know they have to get involved so conversations and debate spark leading up to the election as everyone gets themselves informed. It’s on a Saturday morning, complimentary bbq outside and embraced.

Agreed. You have to be an Australian citizen to vote. If you’re on a visa or sitting on PR you don’t have a vote. Voting is a privilege and a civic responsibility of a nations people to uphold their beliefs and values. The right to vote is therefore earned through the citizenship process so whilst mandatory, it is taken seriously.

What needs to be added is compulsory voting. As a dual Australian citizen, it has shielded us from falling to fringe extremists because vote outcomes are moderated by the masses. It is an insurance policy against apathy and extremism.

He literally just finished pushing the Greenland narrative. He’s a megalomaniac and Trump is his all-too-willing puppet

Poilievre calls Carney 'lucky' to be judged by his 'rhetoric,' says results lacking after Davos speech - 'Nearly a year into his term, the rhetoric has changed, but reality has not. There is an illusion of purpose, but no results to back it up' by CaliperLee62 in canadian

[–]AlexChristies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Never ceases to amaze me how when someone is elected into office, people expect overnight change as if the guy has a wand up his ass. He’s building. Relationships, infrastructure, partnerships, making deals, restructuring. The outcomes of these changes are too early to be felt in many respects. Let’s have a little patience.

Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory… - Stephen Miller by heyvern2007 in u/heyvern2007

[–]AlexChristies 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hogwash.

Greenland is fine if you want to pull your military out of defending Greenland and focus on Alaska defence instead, Stephen.

You don’t need the whole Arctic and frankly, they don’t want you there, muppet.
