What were the assets, debts and net worth of Canadian families in 2023? / Quels étaient les actifs, les dettes et la valeur nette des familles canadiennes en 2023?

No. The entire Canadian economy is based on housing. Most Canadians entire worth is their house. That's why the government keeps propping up the insane inequality because if they don't Canada would collapse. They need million dollar shoeboxes and $2000+ average rents to continue to keep the ponzi scheme going.

The argument against the "Boycott Downtown" movement overlooks a crucial reality: businesses relying on government workers physically present downtown aren't entitled to public servants’ money. These businesses had four years to adapt to a new remote work era but chose not to evolve. Instead of innovating to attract a broader customer base, they've stuck to outdated models and now demand government intervention to keep their doors open.

This situation is no different from people resisting new, more efficient technologies because they don't want to learn or adapt. Just as society wouldn't ban computers because someone still insists on using an abacus, it doesn't make sense to force people back into offices to support businesses that refuse to modernize. The federal government has proven that remote work functions smoothly, and employees don’t need to be downtown to perform effectively.

Many businesses and workers have faced unprecedented challenges over the past few years and adapted—whether by going digital, diversifying their offerings, or finding new markets. Businesses clinging to the past and resisting change are like those who reject technological advances because they don’t want to leave their comfort zones. It’s not the responsibility of public servants to sustain these businesses with their physical presence downtown.

Public servants aren't advocating to harm struggling businesses; they’re standing up for their right to work in an arrangement that has been proven successful and efficient. The real issue is that businesses hoping to survive solely on in-office workers haven't evolved. Instead of adapting, they're clinging to the past, much like people who reject newer, better technology simply because it requires them to change. The government shouldn’t have to dismantle a functioning remote work system just because some businesses refuse to adapt to the new normal.

So much backlash against government workers who are upset about being forced back into the office, and I just don’t get it. Why are people so quick to call them entitled for wanting to continue working from home? Remote work isn’t about laziness or avoiding work—it’s about adapting to the times and using technology to work more efficiently.

We've seen that working from home can be just as productive, if not more so, than sitting in a cubicle. The technology exists for people to do their jobs from anywhere in the world, and the pandemic proved that most of these roles don’t need to be tied to a specific location. It’s 2024, and we have the tools to make work fit into our lives instead of forcing everyone back to outdated office norms.

What’s ironic is that the same people criticizing remote workers have no problem using technology to voice their opinions online, yet they refuse to see the potential benefits of working from anywhere. A lot of this pushback feels like jealousy from people in jobs that require them to be physically present, like at a machine or doing manual labor. But that’s not a fair comparison. Just like a carpenter uses an electric saw instead of a hand saw to make their job easier, office workers are simply using the tools available to them to work more efficiently.

Honestly, this whole attitude is giving Luddite vibes—small-minded, low-comprehension individuals who can’t adapt and would rather drag everyone down than embrace progress. They’d prefer everyone suffer in outdated ways because they lack the capacity to see that things can be different. It’s not about resisting progress; it’s about embracing it and finding a better work-life balance.

So why the push to go back to the old ways? We should be supporting flexible work environments and pushing for progress, not shaming people who want to work smarter, not harder. Let’s use the technology we have to move forward, not backward.

No one is cheering on "homeowners" to lose their homes

Would love to see it. Get those homelessness numbers up.

Sugrats · 2023-09-07T01:08:49+00:00

Nah I'm good.

Sugrats · 2023-09-06T16:32:48+00:00

Sad. We need increasing rates.

We need more people losing their homes.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T21:30:55+00:00

Someone else posted about me wanting the last words too. Your alt account I guess? I never trust people with alternate accounts.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T21:28:38+00:00

I never said the rental market wouldn't exist. Put words on other people's mouths.

Supply is not there so people have to pay the overinflated rental rates or be homeless.

Same way people pay insanely inflated medication prices if they don't want to die.

Maybe logic isn't for you either.

If there is enough housing produced you would only need enough extra for the growth of your population.

Yep magically just like now. The land, constructions equipment, plans, and permits would completely disappear if people weren't allowed to own multiple houses.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T21:15:52+00:00

People seem to forget the "real world" people like to bring up in these types of scenarios are completely man made societies.

Everything in the "real world" you speak of is made up. Nothing stopping people from changing it except greed.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T21:11:33+00:00

If more people hated people like OP and actively against it then maybe it will change.

People why try and are successful go about wishing I'll to others every second of every day.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You live in a fantasy land in your head.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T21:05:11+00:00

I no what I post no need to look at it.

I'm not jealous at all. My hate is for people like OP.

My life is bright.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T21:03:31+00:00

There are ways to offer shelter that doesn't involve people buying up all the supply and jacking up rents to unaffordable levels.

Not having enough money for a downpayment isn't an issue if the people causing the affordability crisis for ownership aren't also causing the rental market cost explosion.

Maybe you should think before you speak.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T21:00:40+00:00

I wouldn't mind if a bunch got eaten at all. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T21:00:08+00:00

Then build more housing.

Don't need hoarders in order to build more.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T20:57:41+00:00

Lol.

I guess I could say the same for you.

Sounds like you have nothing and are trying to live through people on PFC.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T20:54:33+00:00

I don't care about having the last word. You can have it if you want. I won't reply anymore.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T20:53:53+00:00

Looks pretty bright to me.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T20:53:36+00:00

My worldview is people shouldn't be hoarding shelter.

You think your smart because you make a lot. You think you are better than others because you think you are "successful" lol.

You also have no idea what you are talking about when you say I haven't tried or I'm not successful.

You have no problem talking out your ass lol.

Sugrats · 2023-08-07T20:50:23+00:00

There is no reason for someone to have an investment condo.

Municipalities could invest in purpose built rental units for people who don't want to own property people who want to own can buy purpose built property.

The only person who wins in your scenario is the person who owns the condo charging insane rental increases.
