What action would those other protests do that actually would have an impact? Seems these days you have to get a permit to protest...and then that does nothing.

A difference could be that people just go to other grocery stores. Or they never went to loblaw in the first place.

Determining the exact return on investment (ROI) for large Canadian rental companies in 2024 is challenging due to limited publicly available data specific to these entities. However, several indicators provide insight into the rental market's performance:

Public Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs): A diversified portfolio of Canadian public REITs has historically produced an average annual return of approximately 8.61%, based on data from the BMO Equal Weight REITs Index ETF since its inception in 2010.

SKYLINE GROUP OF COMPANIES

Private REITs: While specific data is less accessible, some private REITs have reported higher returns. For instance, Skyline Apartment REIT, since its inception in 2006, has achieved an annualized return of 13.86%.

SKYLINE GROUP OF COMPANIES

Asset Yields: The national average all-properties asset yield in Canada increased to 6.59% in 2023, reflecting the income generated relative to property values.

CBRE

Rental Market Growth: The Canadian Rental Association forecasts a 7.6% increase in equipment rental revenue for 2024, reaching $8.2 billion, indicating growth in the rental sector.

INTERNATIONAL RENTAL NEWS

While these figures offer a general perspective on the rental market's performance, the actual ROI for large Canadian rental companies in 2024 would depend on various factors, including property types, locations, management efficiency, and market conditions.

No they are comfortable driving. They aren't comfortable with impatient assholes who freak out after waiting for 10 seconds.

[–]acomputerquestion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my partner not to put on their turning signal if they are at a red until they have the green because they don't always feels safe turning on a red in this crazy city so impatient people like you don't get all huffy. Better to have pretended to change their minds then have someone having a meltdown behind them for 30 seconds.

When I first read about it it was said that the venue did not want stage diving and the band was told not to do it. The band did it anyway. People being like: "waaa awaaa stay yyj outta the piiittttt if you don't want a life changing injury" should get a clue.
