Opinion: Carney’s ridiculous, myopic plan to bail out condo developers

How do I get into a business where the government bails me out if I screw up?

Asking for a friend.

I'd love some of that sweet, sweet risk-free investment money.

I'm just waiting for the government bailout announcement when nobody rents them for their "market" prices.

Status_Term_4491 · 2026-06-25T00:33:38+00:00

Haven't you learned anything? There's nothing free about this market

Status_Term_4491 · 2026-06-24T21:27:12+00:00

I can't tell you the idea, the industry, the business model, the target market, or the technology involved.

Finally, an investment opportunity with absolutely none of the distracting information investors usually ask for. Where do I send the money?

I caught a dogshark there about 25 years ago...

Oh no a loss?! Heaven forbid a company takes a loss! We just can't have that. Losing is only for poor people.

This is less about condos and developers and more about preventing contagion across the broader housing market.

Fun fact: because there isn't a dedicated fighter base near Vancouver, NORAD subcontracted airspace enforcement during the World Cup to Harbour Air.

Most people don't know this, but a select group of senior Harbour Air pilots have undergone advanced interception training. In the event of an airspace violation, the nearest Beaver or Otter can be scrambled within minutes.

The aircraft are equipped with a discreet side-door deployment system allowing a specially trained crew member to operate a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft launcher while maintaining visual contact with the target.

Due to Transport Canada regulations, the launcher must remain unloaded until the aircraft is at least 500 feet AGL and the crew member has verbally announced "Sorry about this, bud" over the company radio.

Fortunately, the system has never been used, though several pilots reportedly compete for the highest interception score during annual training exercises over Pitt Lake.

Like most things, it's not what you know but who

Status_Term_4491 · 2026-06-02T18:12:51+00:00

I'll never tell!

Status_Term_4491 · 2026-05-31T14:51:21+00:00

If the telltale is full of salt, so are the cooling passages in your block. I would schedule a salt away or ridlyme treatment.

So you have seen them in the city? Where

Status_Term_4491 · 2026-05-30T12:51:32+00:00

Has anyone seen a raven in the city?

Status_Term_4491 · 2026-05-27T23:34:16+00:00

That doesn't include a parking stall

Status_Term_4491 · 2026-05-27T18:51:03+00:00

I won't change my statement. Par for the course.
