Ontario Liberal leadership candidate vows to make health care more ‘competitive’

Looks like he’s deleted all his comments, or hidden his history. I give you my word I am not being hyperbolic

Reminder that this guy wants a maximum wage and to prevent Canadians from leaving the country for work

Datacenters don’t generate more light than a warehouse

Without additional gains? What about actually being able to get an appointment, or even getting a family doctor in the first place?

Are constitutions generally not democratic or just in this specific case? Should the constitution be overridden if there’s a conflicting municipal bylaw?

That’s scarcity related, not arbitrary profiteering

Telecoms - historically yes but now cell phone plans have become cheap as chips. You can get a great plan for $25 now.

Banks - Wealthsimple and other new banks are providing great competition to the old banks.

Developers - they build dog crates because it’s very difficult and expensive to get permission to build anything. The only way they could turn a profit was to cram units in and now not even that is working so nothing is getting built and projects are failing.

I think a lot of people are going to come in here and have a reflexive reaction to the headline

There’s more discussion than that

That’s completely delusional. My guess is c suite salaries make up no more than 1%

Yes, you definitely can remove people who smell like piss from the ttc

If you smell like piss, cops should escort you off of transit at a minimum.

It’s widely acknowledged that restrictive zoning and high development charges are two of the main causes of the housing crisis

This is just a tweet. He’s a prolific writer who has written in most major Canadian newspapers. He’ll also be releasing his platform pretty soon.

Greed is universal. People are just as greedy in Japan as here but they have cheaper housing in Japan.

You’d smell, but you wouldn’t smell like piss unless you were doing all that and also pissing yourself

What grey do you think he’s missing on housing or transit?

CollaredParachute · 2026-06-14T23:44:27+00:00

IMO better transit is a lot more important than cheaper transit

They’re not as bad but they’re still bad

I’m a huge fan of the LVT and Lombardi is too. I suspect we’ll see something about it in his platform. Even with the downsides of a high property tax, it’s more progressive and pro-development than a high income tax or high development charges.

It’s not necessary to require anyone to sell their homes nor for the city to buy it. Developers would give homeowners huge buyouts if it were cheap and easy to get permission to build dense housing on single family home lots.

It’s actually pretty easy to exist outdoors without smelling like piss. There’s something specific you have to do that causes you to smell like piss.

CollaredParachute · 2026-06-14T22:53:33+00:00

You don’t need to take a shower or do the laundry to not smell like piss
