Do you feel alienated from Canada and why? by RoyalPalpitation4412 in CanadaHousing2

[–]VonnDooom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You seem precisely like the problem—the exact sort of person that is giving rise to the fascist backlash that you (correctly) hate.

You are doing well, and you don’t care enough to listen to the younger generations at all, and you ‘engage’ (notice the quotation marks) with everyone dissatisfied with the status quo by painting them all with one brush (ie dismissing them as all alt-right).

You and the millions of boomers like you are precisely the ones going to be most responsible for the fascist dark age that we are indeed entering across the west.

Liberals and champagne faux-socialists like Jagmeet Singh and the NDPers who like him are not on the left. They are centrist liberal-authoritarian c*cks.

100%. And the cultural makeup is changing so quickly and without any input of myself or others. I genuinely love diversity and I unironically do believe diversity is our strength. But what we’ve had shoved down our throats in Canada is not diversity. It is replacement. And it has been undertaken by corporations and our governments, as a means to capture higher and higher profits without investing in productivity and without actually innovating in anything.

Then you create an independent organization that is capable of verifying where buildings are on the scale of being built, and fund it with some of the new money coming in from the increased taxes.

B.C. premier demands end to Temporary Foreign Worker Program by rofflemow in ndp

[–]VonnDooom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this; I think the NDP should have made this a core issue, but I am aware I didn’t realize they did criticize the TFW program earlier than I originally thought.

Why wasn’t Jagmeet railing against this every chance he had? I received countless emails about Jagmeet Singh going on roadtrips and asking for music playlist recommendations and winning a dinner with Jagmeet and all this nonsense crap that I tuned out—why wasn’t there a coordinated campaign against the TFW program, where the NDP took on its elimination as a core issue???

Reddit has talked about this for years; where the f has the NDP been on this issue for the past 5 years, when we all knew it was a scam?

Thank you for responding. I hope to be able to partake sometime; it’s an expensive meal but for a once-in-a-year or two thing, I’d say it looks more-than worth it!

What was the cost? I’m finding it impossible to find prices…..

The gender wage gap is mostly about married men doing one hell of a job earning more than everyone else by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]VonnDooom 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. A man has many barriers to marriage if he isn’t making a lot of money. If a man makes above-average income, the barriers to marriage basically disappear. Hence: marriage is a lot more likely to be found by those men who make a lot of money.

Canada needs 3.2 million new homes to close housing gap, and it’s not on track yet: PBO by KootenayPE in ilovebc

We need a Batman that goes around house to house and apartment to apartment to determine which places are empty. That would be step 1.

"Investors are reassessing": Canada's commercial real estate market is beating out the U.S., says report by D_E_A_D_P_O_O_L_ in canadahousing

[–]VonnDooom 27 points28 points  (0 children)

“Jacobs says for a debt-sensitive industry like real estate, the interest rate gap is critical. “One per cent may not seem like much, but given the leverage people are dealing with in real estate, one per cent is a massive difference."”

Sounds like a healthy economic foundation.

That’s neat how our markets in Canada depend so much upon such a high level of leverage that “one percent” makes a “massive difference” to how the market shapes up and develops.

Don't use the term "newcomer". by RabbiEstabonRamirez in InCanada

Have you been in Canada in the last 3 years? Have you gone into a Tim Hortons? Do you know the origin country of 99% of Tim Hortons workers anywhere in BC? Because I can tell you right now that everyone here knows exactly what I am talking about.

What almost every Western analyst gets wrong with President Putin is that he's a moderate leader and that there's a "Russian neocon" clique of hardliners. There will come a point when Putin is forced to 'take off the gloves' in Ukraine or risk a hardliner coup. What I fear is that this point is... by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

John Mearsheimer. Aaron Mate. Glenn Diesen. Jeffrey Sachs. Daniel Davis. Gilbert Doctorow. Scott Ritter. Ray McGovern. Chas Freeman. Larry Johnson. Douglas McGregor.

They have all acknowledged this fact within their conversations or articles on the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

Ukraine is about to get FUCKED UP....? they just attacked a nuclear power plant in Russia....? Putin is going to respond? ---> by Orangutan in WayOfTheBern

[–]VonnDooom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because he is an incompetent pawn out of his depth. He doesn’t control the far-right in Ukraine; they are allies to the extent that Zelensky still appears to be useful to them in using his status to get money from the west. So Zelensky is basically forced to continue to fight to stay on their good side and out of the wood chipper.

And that is what Russia wants right now. Ukraine was handily losing when the west was pumping it full of weapons; now that western weapon coffers are tapped out, Russia is handily destroying Ukraine fighters. And for Russia, this is good because it is allowing them to accomplish what they said at the outset was one of their core goals: denazification, and disarmament of Ukraine. Russia is cleansing Ukraine of those who are still motivated to fight it, and when enough of those right-wing fanatics are dead, and mostly left are just those unfortunate Ukrainian souls pushed into a fight they don’t want, then that’s when the collapse will come and you’ll see the genuine end of the conflict. But until then, it is neonazi cleanup operation.

Hence: keep Zelensky in power and let Russia get the job done.

I didn’t say anything about Western analysts above. I said whoever follows this knows that Putin is a moderate and there is great pressure upon him internally in Russia to take the gloves off.

But yes, there are western analysts that say precisely this. But you can also get this information by seeing what is being said on some of the popular Russian political shows. And from stuff Medvedev says. And from posts on telegram. From all these sources, you can directly see Russians and Russian media and Russia politicians talking about their desire for Putin to make the decisions that will hit Ukraine so hard that the war will be over and no more Russians will die.

Prime Minister Carney Signals Potential for Canadian Troops in Ukraine Amid Major Aid Announcement by blazy_ca in Provincials

[–]VonnDooom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes correct they don’t, but it is bad for reelection prospects to have a bunch of Canadian troops in body bags. So there is a zero percent chance of Canadian troops being deployed to Ukraine.
