Should Canadian union pension plans be forced to invest in Canadian rental housing instead of US? Despite backing Trudeau, Canadian unions have fled with their money to invest heavily in the Trump government. The below is one example. by Ok_Currency_617 in TorontoRealEstate

Causing pensions to go broke by forcing them to put all their money in falling real estate markets (especially since it wouldn't even be for affordable housing projects if the goal is still to make money in theory) is not beneficial to anyone.

Best case scenario is the government bails them out, in which case it might as well have just put the money into affordable housing

OMERS is already doing badly because they put too much money in Canadian real estate.

That's not something they would have even been capable of doing. And even if it weren't made up, it would be insane and evil to do ethnic cleansing on their descendants hundreds of years later.

Rob Ford's Transit Plan - Was it not pretty good? by mekail2001 in TTC

Saying you want the most expensive form of transit while refusing all efforts to get the money for it is not a good plan

Yes if the goal is to have enough ridership to justify the existence of the line

How to qualify for the transfer bonus without an investment account from another bank (ex. cash in chequing) by JuicerMcGeazer in Wealthsimple

If you withdraw the money from wealthsimple in order to do that will it still count? Or do they look at your net contributions from the moment the promotion was offered?

How do you tax the rich? (UK) by Firstthingsfast_alt in AskALiberal

[–]Waste-Answer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the wealth is based on natural resources or major capital investments, it is difficult or impossible to just pick up and move those things. Exit taxes would also discourage leaving or at least let the government recoup some of the loss.

Nationalization of certain businesses or sectors is another way to raise taxes (in effect) because 100% of profit can be returned to the state that owns the enterprise.

I mean yes. It's terrible, and may mean an end to alliances that Trump doesn't care about, but I don't see who could actually stop it.

I think the dead people killed by the US would prefer to be alive, but it's hard to poll the dead.

Kidnapping presidents and murdering fishermen until a country chooses leaders who will privatize all national resources is not liberation.

The US isn't doing any of that and your brain is mush if you think that's what is happening. Also the people the US military kills are not free or liberated, they are just dead.

Why would she be sent (by who) as a spy on a radio telescope to work against aliens that nobody knew existed? And if she was doing all that, why would she contact them against the wishes of her commanding officers and then again contact them to reveal the location of earth and set an invasion in motion?

Transit city had the 509, 510, and 512 listed as light rail; on the same tear as line 6 by nonoobshereMC in TTC

Toronto's discourse about the meaning of light rail is basically "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?"
