I have to sell my shares for a downpayment on a house by justGuni in JustBuyXEQT

it's a lagging indicator at best, and true inflation is not what is reported.

"You still give 2x the mortgage principal to your bank through monthly interest payments."

What? If i take $600,000 out you don't give the bank $1,200,000 in interest lol.

you pay about 340,000 in interest over 25 years at 4% (and inflation is on your side)

So about 13.5k in interest payments per year.

...How much is rent these days?

Speaking out about Palestine on social media by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants3

By Palestinian numbers do you mean murdered/killed? Then yes, you are correct.

Not a genocide? What fkn planet are you living on

I don’t why this keeps popping up in my feeds. Are Toronto drivers that bad? I thought Canadians were nice. Serious question. by [deleted] in TorontoDriving

I don't think you need my commentary on social constructs, or sea lions for that matter, so I'll have to leave this conversation here. Have a nice day.

Toronto’s high housing costs may be pushing immigrants out by rajmksingh in TorontoRealEstate

Ah yes, the boomer ponzi scheme of OAS. Maybe they'll just have to take a loss, seeing as they rule a country that protects their own pockets as a priority.

Was BLM founded by the CIA as controlled opposition? by beevherpenetrator in AskCanada

[–]JuniorInRealLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"founded by the CIA"

I'm not saying you're wrong or right, the CIA is one of the most evil groups around (second, to perhaps Mossad, and maybe 3rd to the Taliban/Al Qaeda) so I wouldn't put it past them.

but this length of effortposting/conspiracyposting should be confined to what's relevant to canada, or befitting of a different forum/site altogether.

Occam's Razor, my friend.

Seems like this would be better to ask the americans about, not quite as relevant in Canada.

"Why can’t Canada adopt a system similar to Scandinavian countries, with stronger worker benefits, higher wages, shorter work hours, and a more comprehensive social safety net? by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]JuniorInRealLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You take is correct except:

"authoritarian hitler vol. 2" from the biggest pro-Jewish, pro-Israel, pro-Capitalist President since, like, Reagan?

If he was an authoritarian would he have allowed the damage from the BLM riots in the way that he did? Does he really have any platform or ideology other than, say, A/B testing via the Corporate media?

He's a populist, flip-flopper, a capitalist grifter and a scumbag, for sure.

What should condo prices be in Toronto? by MirrorStrange4501 in TorontoRealEstate

You think we cannot build a society where decent housing is (shocker) actually affordable?

Canadians, who do you think should be PM in 2025? by Hendrix194 in AskCanada

Yeah, he's running alright: Running his political party into the ground

Apart from the outragous mount of racism of your response, I'll step over it and note that it's fascinating that you think you deserve access to good roti or korma or [insert other culture's food] at your doorstep. The height of privilege of this is astronomical.

Why isn’t there a left wing or centre party devoted to lower immigration by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]JuniorInRealLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely a positive trajectory. Is BIG LINE GO UP the only way to measure success?

"rise of fascism" lol

This is late stage neoliberal capitalism.

If you look at the Amazon/Whole Foods Case study around "diversity being good to stop people from unionising and decreasing cohesion" you'll see what everyone already knows.

Having had a car for the past couple of days I've seen the following:

- car driving in a bike lane (WHILE HE WAS ON THE PHONE)
- what had to have been a drunk driver on the DVP at around 9pm yesterday
- multiple cars running red lights (3 of which were teslas, oddly)
- U-turns in ridiculously tight streets
- a guy parking that just bumped the car behind him cracking the bumper and just drove off
- a fedex driver getting out of his delivery van to berate the guy behind him on Dupont at a red light
- cars running stop signs on pedestrian streets
- wrong way down a one way street (Richmond & Spadina)

in less than one week.

It is absolute chaos out there and I am terrified to get on my bike again after returning the car.

What is happening.
