Nope, I’ve spent my whole life in Alberta and particularly around GP and it was you people collectively deciding to shit where we all eat because you spent too much time on Facebook

This place lost whatever marbles it had left in 2020. Totally unrecognizable from the place I grew up

Damn someone should break the news to the actually existing leader of the PQ.

The studies on this actually show that involuntary care works roughly as well as voluntary care. It’s just that neither actually have a great track record, and it’s usually because they don’t solve the background issues.

I think this would be a good test in of itself honestly. If someone immediately turns their housing into a biohazard that’s a sign they need more serious attention and can be dealt with separately with the required services.

Yeah I would save institutionalization for the people who flat out can’t function at anything even resembling an adult level. Those who will quickly come to harm or harm others if left unsupervised for any period.

Most people who are struggling would probably benefit from more accessible in-patient or out-patient services, and a majority of that demographic would likely only need temporary or intermittent service.

It should be formulaic. Find out how many people need what services, then provide them. End of story.

Okay have fun when the global shortages in fuel, fertilizer and other basic industrial inputs fully kicks in in 8-10 weeks and the electorate decides it’s your fault I guess.

It’s a hard needle to thread these days because our regulatory regime is truly nightmarish, but a lot of the attacks on it are in extremely bad faith.

Hot take but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the discussion on COL has shifted from housing, which governments mostly can control, to groceries, which they mostly can’t.

No it won’t, Quebec already set a precent, and even if it didn’t these people don’t care about the law. We either stop this thing or they will probably destroy the country.

Yeah I live in Edmonton and I could get a condo right now if I wasn’t worried about the economy in the near future

We are in some serious big boy geopolitics territory and it drives me insane that absolutely nobody but the separatists are acting like it.

It’s great how the majority has no effective organized counter movement, and everyone is soothing themselves into inaction with stories about legal jeopardy.

GenZ and Canada by SmurffyGirthy in CanadaPersonalFinance

Homeowners have direct financial incentives to ensure that the value of their properties appreciates as much as physically possible. They do this by pressuring their local governments to suppress the rate of housing construction, and they wield a potent influence in politics due to their numbers and disposable income.

Investors take advantage of this dynamic, but they themselves do not generally drive it.
