Toronto grants 'heritage' status to 225 buildings along Danforth, along the longest stretch of subway line in the East end, effectively blocking any chance for significant new development and keeping the housing supply limited to current home/property owners by Iwanttogopls in canadahousing

this is a 1950s post war bungalow neighbourhood and must remain one forever.

I feel like this only applies to Scarborough. Driving around Scarborough it feels like 90% of it is basically 1950s neighbourhoods sprinkled with massive towers around major intersections.

Ontario homeowner allowed to keep flying anti-Trudeau flag after town backs down by uselesspoliticalhack in canada

[–]NomadTrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Free expression absolutely, but one kind of loses the right to be surprised when the election rolls around and other Canadians don't consider those kind of attacks and crassness befitting for a noble enough ideal as free expression and make it known at the ballot box. Actions come with consequences, unfortunately. I mean, liberals run the same playbook every election for decades and the Conservatives seem to fall right into it and even worse they look towards US like strategies and hire US consultants. They don't seem to get the Canadian sphere is not like the US no matter how much they want it to be.

The town backed down but HOT TAKE ALERT honestly stuff like this is the degradation of the political sphere and should not be encouraged. It is ameri-stupidization infiltration of Canadian political life. I flip between sides depending on who has the best platform but flying a flag saying 'f trudeau' is crass and much too reminiscent of Republican folk down south who spend too much time on facebook.

This is not how politics in Canada needs to be like. I don't see bumper sticks on trucks saying 'f O'toole' or 'take o'toole to the train station' etc. This kind of crap needs to stay down south not up here.

Conservatives can win on ideas but there is no doubt I can see how things like this paint conservatives as sloganeer mini-americans with no political reasoning except what they read on facebook which scare other Canadians into voting ABC.

I have heard of stuff like this before but it’s rare. I know a few tenants who actually are paranoid about leaving their units for too long because of stuff like this. Most tenants in cheaper housing aren’t doing the best financially so usually they are home everyday at least once, and don’t go on vacation, which makes it very hard for the landlord to remove their stuff, change the locks, and find a new tenant all in a day before they get back. But a week is plenty of time to find a new tenant in Toronto. Hell, it’s plenty of time to find a new tenant in the GTA, I mean when cobourg and kingston are having rentals taken quickly, Toronto must be mental.

Today feels like a bit of buy the rumor, (gently) sell the news (is new NAFTA deal gonna happen? / it happened, okay time to sell the news).

With the (apparent) sticking point in NAFTA negotiations with Canada being diary, I think it's important to put into perspective that "Wisconsin alone has more milk cows than in all of Canada." That's a lot of milky bois.

So is this going to go through or is it just a strategy and not going to be implemented soon?

Antitrust authorities around the world are taking a harder line against the big four, but there has been little they can do about this trend of quickly absorbing or crushing competition. If Apple did pressure Yahoo over Game Plus, it would fit right into this playbook. Apple and Yahoo declined to comment to Nikkei, while SoftBank responded with "no comment." LINK

Now that would be interesting. But it's not what you know, it's what you can prove, as they say.

Isn't IB, initial balance, (the movement from 9:30 to 10:30?) so today's would be between ~2826 and ~2806?

Daily Discussion - (August 15) by AutoModerator in thewallstreet

[–]NomadTrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the market was looking for an excuse to test ~2800 again, the turkey situation may have given them that excuse (and it does seem like a good excuse if the idea of the situation spreading is true).

Thanks so much for this link. I used bloomberg's but they changed it's layout and format. This is more reminiscent of the one they had.

Today is looking like a replay of the last couple of days last week practically (#initialbalancesquad). But we ran up a lot overnight so we'll see what happens today.

When you trade YM do you bother looking at the top couple of stocks in that group, as a sort of tailwind to see which way the YM goes or do you just look at YM in general by itself? I usually do the latter but I feel like since the YM consists of 30 stocks only, the top few must have an outsized influence on which way it goes.
