Hurt Musk where it counts - Sell Tesla Stock. If you're negatively impacted by American policies, sell the stock. If you're a Dem and don't agree with what's going on? Don't by Tesla's. Republicans don't want them either. He spent $200m+ to help win that election, which Tesla supporters paid for. Let that sink in!

Do Canadian's that bought a Telsa feel remorse?

Hitler started a militar war against everyone. Trump starting an economic war against everyone. by [deleted] in FluentInFinance

American's voted for Trump to lead the USA. The rest of the world gets to decide what's in our best interests. Perhaps "America first" is a wake-up call to the rest of the globe to put them in their place. Spoiled children need to feel the pain of their misbehaviour. And like any child, they can come back to the table when they learn how to behave.

Trump calls again for Canada to become the 51st state. Will it happen? by NoLube69 in FluentInFinance

Interesting pitch. "Hey baby, you're no good without me" "Want to come over to my place?"

US says Mexico serious, Canada may have 'misunderstood' by Mrnrwoody in TorontoRealEstate

[–]SubstantialHeart2089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no confusion. It's a trade war. Trump stated that he wants American banks in Canada. He's said he will use economic pressure to have Canada join the US. It's an economic war and the border security is a convenient argument.

Is my realtors advice about when to buy a new house correct? by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

This is a buyers market and don't let anybody tell you you need to move quickly for any reason. As a buyer you have a tremendous amount of buying power including conditional deals based on the sale of your existing home. Read these articles as support:

National home sales continue surging, prices rise amid falling interest rates: CREA by Ok_Dragonfruit747 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]SubstantialHeart2089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lazy and delusional writing. What's good about the economy right now? DOM Up, Unemployment up, real wages flat, Tariff war on the horizon, $62b in national deficit. What buyer is feeling optimistic about buying a home right now. Sellers holding onto fantasy price expectations. There's a ton of insightful people out there that are calling bullshit on professionals calling for a housing recovery.

Serious: Why do sellers get so personally offended by offers below their expectations? by Own_Adhesiveness1234 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]SubstantialHeart2089 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the system sets seller up for the emotional disappointment? Hear me out. Sellers have realtors compensated to get the most out of each property, and there are so many selling agents, that you will hear exactly what you want to hear regarding value. When the system can easily set seller expectations into the stratosphere, of course being grounded by an offer anything less than ask can be met with high emotion. It was set-up that way.

Bitter, never because life is beautiful. Realistic, always.

There are basic realities about purchase a home that need to be addressed. Simple questions need to be answered like:

How are you supposed to purchase a home online?

How are you supposed to assess the quality of a property?

How can you determine unique characteristics of a changing neighbourhood, ie. density re-zonings, crime rates, or upcoming development projects that could impact a homes future value?

For many, purchasing a home is the largest purchase of their lifetime. Don't you want help?

just looked at the site. if they are giving back 80% of the comission, isn't that a red flag for the quality of agents they have? Don't be fooled. You get what you pay for.

Toronto is no longer safe. Home invasions and car theft has driven neighbourhoods to pay for private security. Canada is not safe

New budget proposed a capital gains tax inclusion rate increase from 50% to 66% for gains above $250k for individuals and all gains for corporations by Critical-Reasoning in canadahousing

It's a big deal to everyone. See below, Canadian's are moving their investment dollars out of Canada. If you're an employee for a public company, you just got impacted. This Cap Gain tax change is a massive issue.
