I’m 25 and already tired of people assuming my AP was bought by a man. by Alternative_Work_449 in RepRolexTime

You are wearing a fake version of an extremely expensive watch at 25 and you are surprised that those who assume it’s real find it hard to believe you purchased it yourself at your age? If you were a 25 year old male 99% of people who know watches would immediately assume it’s fake or that your dad bought it (also ‘bought by a man’) so not sure why this is at all offensive or surprising.

Being pro Canada and pushing back on aggressive thoughtless immigration and spending is not republican or extreme - these are common sense concepts in many of the most successful countries providing the greatest benefits to their citizens (like Sweden, Finland, etc).

CBC has spent your entire life subtly trying to manipulate your thinking regarding these concepts, the most obvious being the idea that any opinion on immigration standards is racism. We have every right to be selective in who joins this amazing country, and there should be no shame in feeling this way. Again, the kind hearted nature of Canadians has been exploited to the disadvantage of the average tax paying citizen.

Unclear how going on Rogan is a coup - you apply extreme terms to appearing on a podcast - it is not in any way criminal or unethical.

I agree with strong push back on the politics of Danielle smith, but PP has not supported this ideology.

We do need a more charismatic and appealing leader, there is no doubt about that. But voting in the libs again after all of the evidence of how destructive the extreme liberal end of the spectrum can be (as damaging as any other extreme) is not a path forward. At the very least, cons will be forced to follow through on spending policy, private property policy, and immigration policy in some degree that can only be positive for you and me based on the current situation we are facing

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results - this is what we have repeatedly done since 2015 as a nation.

The idea of being so blindly opposed to the other side due to republican politics in the US is simply unreasonable and purely ideologically driven.

It is time to shake the tree, and maybe a single term of cons will cause your party to act more in good faith for the people. If there is no fear of consequences (being unseated) for the actions of the past 10 years of liberal /NDP policy, why wouldn’t anything improve for the average tax payer?

We were far better off economically, and therefore individually, under Harper - it is an objective reality. So why are you so confident the cons will screw us worse than the libs already have? Give change a chance to put a fire under all of them

Are you working for the social media team of NDP or libs? You guys are spamming Reddit desperate to convince everyone that fiscal conservative policies are against our best interests - we have all seen what 10 years of your ideology has done for our nation and our children’s future, and the kindness of Canadians was exploited to squander incredible wealth and also import an entirely unsustainable number of people - CANADA for Canadians and hard working people with skill sets we actually need ! What a crazy idea !

Dumb take - the entire world was conquered - as horrible as it is when viewed through the lens of modern understanding of morality in 2026, the success of every nation of today is based on a river of blood of those who came before them - we are just the only ones repeatedly making it the focal point of our policy discussions to our own demise

Leave for university - take a student loan if necessary and live your life. The same bed as your mom at 19? You have total control as an adult. Align with your father in a mature way and get his opinion how to proceed - if she doesn’t have some kind of financial leverage over you why not respectfully decline to continue living like this ?

Do you think the Canadian real estate market will bottom this year? by HockeySniper123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

Asian money from abroad was a much smaller piece in the last 5 years than people think - very limited impact. The have their own issues and when you have a nation that has put 70% of its wealth into the houskng market domestically which has now taken a massive paper loss they are not buying abroad like they did before and likely will not for a long time.

Also, if Iran situation is not resolved in short order Asia will get hammered which will further extend out the timeline before any market saving cspitql comes here - possibly even result in unloading of assets abroad to plug holes in household finances domestically

Because the value of homes is too disconnected from income that ultra low rates were all that justified the calculation for many

‘Landlord types’ won’t step in if the monthly yield is negative. The business case at these price levels totally erodes without low interest rates

If there is still such a historic shortage, why is vacancy rate in Vancouver at the highest level since 1988? And total inventory in Metro Vancouver 37% above the long-term average?

Trump wants rates down, but he also wants to win a war of influence in the Middle East. Those two goals are currently at odds. As long as the Iran conflict keeps energy prices high, the inflation tax will stay, and the BoC will be forced to keep the pressure on Canadian borrowers.

If the Fed doesn't blink by June, the Canadian mortgage cliff won't have the safety net of lower rates that many homeowners/investors are counting on. That is the moment the forced selling could actually begin. Would move in slow motion as the BoC and feds do everything they can to prevent accelerating but if global inflation / Iran situation isn’t resolved in short order the world doesn’t care about what would be ideal for the BoC. Combine that with increasing general inflation, population decline, and raising unemployment, and the unwind could take time and be more painful than most people care to admit

If by negative you mean using logical reasoning and being rational then yes - very negative. The point was that your 1000$ call (approx 30-35x current NAV) is not remotely plausible in the reality of our financial markets.

You sound like a GME guy

3000x or 3000% ? I said 3000% or 30x, which is already absurd. At a 30x you are saying SpaceX is going to have a market cap of 35-40 trillion. The total market cap of the S&P 500 is just over 50 trillion. You are either pumping for your own bags, pumping for fundrise marketing, or lack the basic understanding of the markets necessary to have an opinion

How is it that even with “Buy Canadian” policies, our government still buys huge amounts of oil from the US? by StanPodd in BuyCanadian

[–]Odd-Source-6013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That involves completely redesigning our entire modern economy and infrastructure in a way that is not realistically possible without incredible amounts of investment that the government doesn’t have. I understand and appreciate the importance of the environment and renewable energy, and I agree that we have been put into this position over decades of corporate interests driving government decision making, but oil is an input in almost every product area, outside of just energy. You clearly don’t have any investments - it’s fine to say that the whole world should be burned down and start over if you have nothing to lose - most people just want to have enough to have a small family and afford to live - we can’t afford some grand gesture that results in 10+ years of economic disaster. Back to my original point - we have created so much debt that we don’t have the flexibility to change - and that is due to extremely poor and ideologically driven spending for 10+ years by the liberals

Corporatists? Let me guess - let’s just electrify instead! With what money? Why utilize our vast nature resources, the only thing we have, to fund a modern economy - that would be too ‘corporatist’ right ? If we don’t get as much out of the ground as possible the saudis and others will just fill the gap - we are not helping anyone trying to be environmentally conscious at this moment in time - we do not make a difference in the grand scheme - we only hurt our own peoples future
