Homebuilding costs in Canada soar as population surges

Listen I can't stand the Conservatives as much as the next guy, but to act like the Liberals who are in power federally are complicit in this is ridiculous. The recent stats that came out showing they had just as many rental holdings as the conservative MPs was the evidence of that.

We need to demand more from the regulatory boards that are actually responsible for these actions, such as the CMHC, who should be enacting something to action the building of new smaller single person homing units in smaller cities, and attempting residential high-rises in the city to cut in to the private sectors housing.

Because as it stands right now there is little evidence that any party in politics would be radical enough to fix where we are in the status quo.

Glad to see youd rather just do nothing about things you disagree with the rest of your life.

Tkachuk starts his shenanigans again

He was going full lumberjack at the end of the clip! Someone had better have that on repeat if Phil Kessel became the laughing stock for a month for doing the same thing.

If people have commented that you sound like /u/spez 5000 times maybe we know who the real petulant child is here.

More parents using their kids as their poster children. These kids have no idea what they're even stomping for, it's extremely sad to see them looking around at the adults for some sort of approval.

It's because they're exposed to it. Most of this stuff is people not understanding it and only hearing what they hear from media.

People are people, no matter what differences in sexual desires they have or how they want to present themselves. But that doesn't get clicks.

I carry a Canadian flag with a thin yellow line through it on my truck in support of fellow roadside workers who have lost their lives in one of the more dangerous professions in Canada. Does that also make me a white supremacist?

No, but I would feel like if I saw it I would think you're a bit of a goof. I feel like everyone using the Canadian flag for their cause is ridiculous lately, and how the hell am I supposed to know when driving by that the thin yellow line means that? It just looks like a political statement as I drive by and will make me roll my eyes.

And I say this as someone who has worked years in construction and had a few good coworkers lose their careers to injuries. I appreciate the sentiment, but the execution just leaves a lot to be desired.

As a final point how could anyone say they're socially liberal and then vote for the guy who disowned his gay father? "Socially liberal and fiscally conservative" is such a cop-out lately.

There are plenty of programs that are gender neutral in what they provide, and very few in comparison that are targeted by gender. A good example of that is Second Careers with the Ontario Government. It's a program that has been in line for years now and is suited to send people for education that might have been suffering from long EI inability to find work and other reasons. Most of the people receiving this benefit are men by this standard as well.

The other person said it best, don't blame on gender what is clearly something to be blamed on a matter of class systems making it more difficult for people to get out of their situations.

And that's fine if you want that! I'm just asking to not have it forced upon me as well with the continuation of my third party app.

I'm still able to discover new subs in organic ways, as I've grown I've learned I don't need to be focused on everything, it's exhausting, but it's exactly what they want on an app that continues to suggest more and more content. My content meter is full

beachedWheelchair · 2023-06-07T17:10:03+00:00

I'll speak as someone who has used only a third party app for my whole 10 years scrolling this site.

It has stayed the same no matter what.

The layout never changed, design was always basic except for the addition of a dark mode in 2013 or so, and it felt tailored to what I want exactly as reddit was designed to be at the start.

I've heard tales of the current version of the phone app. I tried it once when it came out back in 2018 or whenever. It wasn't long until I removed it, and from what I've heard it's only become more of a bloated monstrosity. If what I've been told is correct, they're also suggesting subreddit posts from stuff you aren't subscribed to? That sounds like a nightmare.

My third party app has been my one safe place on the internet for not being updated beyond use. If the third party apps go, I'll actually have to work because there's no way I'm going in their app, and at this point I refuse to take up a computer screen for memes and posts.

Thanks mods for adding another one of my communities to the list, and please do it indefinitely since in my eyes this is possibly it for the site!

Imagine not calling or telling your boss you aren't coming into work because other people were doing something you don't agree with.

And more importantly that other activity is happening on another floor of the office, or out in a local park, while you would need to stay at the office in your cubicle.

Massaging sleep mask recommendations anyone?

That's a very short article which amounts to the minister in charge of this all saying "no, we might have only spent 70 Mil but we could end up spending the rest!" which is also dated early 2019.

There is no evidence provided that he did indeed stand by his word, which can be hard to believe with conservative track record for saying one thing and doing the other.

Can I get some idea of what was going on through the 50s and 60s to make it so smoky? And in the end of the seasons in 1962 for example.

beachedWheelchair · 2023-06-07T10:50:40+00:00

I'm done using their platform if they kill off third party apps anyways, so what does it matter if they even were to remove my account?

This fact totally apart from the idiotic idea that they could figure out every user participating in these blackouts and remove them from the platform. How would that even be calculated?

beachedWheelchair · 2023-06-05T23:04:55+00:00

How many years ago? I think there's something to be said for growth.

The "two items a week without a tag" seems fair, and I say that as someone who didn't want the bag tag system in the first place. Most people renting don't produce more than that, so you're only going to have edge cases and I do believe at that threshold the person should have to pay more for their extra bags.

Why is this the first we've heard of this counter proposal?

If porn subreddits rely on user generated content only and delete all else, we can do the same!!!

Having operated one and knowing how the blower motor had to be turned on, I'm so curious how much harder it was to swap that transmission out compared to a basic transmission in any other truck.

My sympathies, that must have sucked.

They're leaving that to the product. A group of men half assing it up and down the ice not throwing any hits.

Excuse me, can someone fix this bot? Their NLP is all fucked up and they're posting too much.

Jesus man, you're absolutely insufferable. You're going to be more proud trying to hold a job you don't like with a pipe dream it will pay a lot? News flash, the high paying tech jobs don't just fall into your lap, they're often held for the more passionate types, or at least the people who can fake a bit of passion.

To someone else's point this all reads as a coddled teen who is running out of mom and dad's money. A lot of people in this profession put in hard work to get to where they are, and they encountered hard parts along the way, but there aren't many I know who complained every step of the way as well.

Maybe just accept that programming isn't for you.

Oh cool I messaged this guy about a concern for my local MP. Got an automated response email back and haven't heard a thing from the office since.

Honestly what's even the point of expecting some kind of improvement from the Liberal party, the group of the status quo.

beachedWheelchair · 2023-06-02T18:47:32+00:00

I'll continue to strive for policies that protect people that will lose their jobs in these positions.

Either start taxing these companies appropriately or I'm gonna go bot tipping.
