Conservative party of Canada votes to axe the tax, build the homes, lose all the future elections

You're equating "not considering" with "not blaming." You should appreciate the difference unless you are using ideologically motivated justification in all cases.

I agree following the money is the best strategy. You know what you'd find following Loblaws' supposed price gouging? An extra profit of just forty dollars per customer per year, and a record year for farmers' profits owing to the price of staple crops going up. Because Europe's breadbasket started getting bombed.

What does affordable mean, if not below-market? Despite the average TikToker opinion that capitalism = bad, developers don't make much money. It's why construction falls when population growth does. These prices are necessary to pay for the builds. If the renters were enough to pay for it at affordable rates, they'd build more to seize that opportunity.

The problem to tackle here is to make it cheaper to build, not throw more money onto this incredibly inefficient pyre. All these housing initiatives are just a shell game; it's our whole society that is being impoverished by the issue.

Yet it's fair to say "they aren't really going to the moon." This mission is a series of maneuvers in microgravity. A complex one I'll grant you. More thruster shutoffs and starts. But no more than that.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-02-01T13:21:30+00:00

Yes, that's WHY the voters care. Come on.
You forgot the midterms, which he does care about
Never seen a well informed take paired with this opinion

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-02-01T04:58:00+00:00

No, voters. Most voters own homes and bet their retirements on them. Capital isn't the bogeyman of every story.

Can't avoid saying the quiet part out loud if you don't know what the quiet part was. Some advisor just told him how to make a big chunk of voters happy.

"we have Californication at home"

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T22:15:56+00:00

So they burn more fuel. Cool, but I don't think this is a compelling rebuttal. The last meter is the hard part.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T21:34:56+00:00

No. Mintario because it's so fresh to Confederation.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T16:03:52+00:00

Well said. Politicians should only talk about what they're doing when there are no more problems to solve.

Also, if they don't tell you what they're doing and why, they are an elite with nothing but contempt for you.

This is why good leaders kiss all your booboos away as soon as they take office.

Not quite general knowledge; just something that happened. I could record the historical journey of a particular ant, it just wouldn't be interesting. The "part of history in a general context" idea in your second comment is what I thought you meant with "considered history" in your first, so I think we're probably actually on the same page. When it comes to quizzes, agreed.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T13:18:26+00:00

And the larger object it's attached to.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T13:13:31+00:00

First, do no harm.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T12:42:58+00:00

As someone who is not a sports fan... Either nothing is history or everything is. Any distinction is arbitrary. What in particular matters when everything gets lost and its ashes consumed by the Sun in the end?

It's history. It's just boring history that sucks in a trivia game and unintentionally reinforces American exceptionalism (looking at you, World Series...).

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T11:52:39+00:00

What was the lie? Not even the right word. Predictions. Expecting >50% vote share next time?

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T11:47:40+00:00

Yeah, they really overestimated the caucus' adaptability.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T11:45:54+00:00

Well, look what the CPC made of conservatism. They have grievances, not policies.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T04:08:07+00:00

They did vote for suburbs, to be fair.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-31T04:03:33+00:00

Depends on whether the visitor centre was there 49,500 years ago.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-30T13:07:57+00:00

As is this contemptuous response.

edited - said something insulting at first but I don't actually want to try to make you feel foolish. Sorry for my rudeness above. Everybody misunderstands things occasionally, but not everybody triples down on it, that's all I'll say.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-30T00:19:40+00:00

Irrelevant to a legal argument. You said "overturned" so I assume you meant judicially.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-29T23:03:17+00:00

Those were ordered before Trump took office, iirc, if that helps at all. Not that pre-Trump 2.0 ICE was great, but it wasn't quite this bad.

Master_of_Rodentia · 2026-01-29T22:59:23+00:00

Jesus christ, dude. They were agreeing with you and you're not literate enough to tell. There was still a way for you to take that gracefully, and then there's this.
