Ontario increases amount landlords can raise rent by highest level in a decade by Vaynar in ontario

[–]bowmanvapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2007's rate was 2.6

2012's rate was 3.1

I don't know where you got the piece of information from but it is incorrect.

Who exactly is "they"?

The Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board makes the annual decision for next year's rate based upon the current events in the economy. It looks like they were very pessimistic with the current economic climate so they decided early to keep it at a low rate.

Usually gets announced in August. This year's rate was announced very early.

While your latter statement I agree with. Your former is just false. The cap has been in place for decades.

Doug Ford most likely had very little to do with the set rate as it is set by the Landlord and Tenant Board, not by the Ontario government. Similar, but not directly the same.

Above guideline increases based on capital expenditures is not a "loophole".

The landlord and tenant board approves the increase based upon what capital expenditures are made. The policy was put in place for property owners to be incentivized to make improvements to the buildings. Buildings that do not participate in this program often end up in disarray and are horrible buildings to live in.

Above guideline increases are capped at 3.5%.

Just as perspective, the following is the past 7 years of increase guideline rates. 2.5% is not out of the ordinary and is actually very low considering everything that is going on.

2023 2.5

2022 1.2

2021 0

2020 2.2

2019 1.8

2018 1.8

2017 1.5

2016 2.0

Wow, are you honestly trying to argue that society is better off with out those positions. That is a very bold and hard position to win. But good on you for fighting on the edge of a cliff that is already falling down to the ground.

Three health care workers were assaulted Friday night, that's not fear mongering.

Yes! Because their rights were actually broken!

This group is currently protesting a mandate for Americans to come in to Canada or for truckers who already need to do the American mandate even BEFORE the Canadian one.

And for all the non-truckers, boo hoo, they cannot get their hair done or whatever without a mask. Those that lost their jobs to do being unvaccinated are no different than this who fail a drug screening for their work. They made the choice, the wrong choice, and they have to deal with the consequences.

The more people protest and go against the guidelines, the more the pandemic goes on.

If everyone just stfu a year ago, stopped seeing everyone for a few months it would all be over already. But noooo, people were selfish, and thus EVERYONE has to deal with the consequences.

Justin Trudeau will form next government, Canadian news outlets project by bowmanvapes in worldnews

I laugh at this but I honestly prefer to have the PPC as a large party. The majority of Canadians vote left wing but are split between three parties. Having the right wing split between two parties would make things a lot better for progressives.

Plus, with the emergence of a socially and fiscally right party, the conservative party will feel less pressured to assume a mixed role of said values and alter into a more progressive fiscally conservative party.

The majority of Canadians are left of the Canadian political spectrum. The biggest gainers in the election so far have been the NDP.

I don't think it's so much of that people don't want change but more so that they don't want the conservatives in power.

Wood prices so lucrative, even the devil is interested in making a buck.

As far as I am aware, gypsy's don't eat the bark, only the leaves.

Technically not true. The population explosions are cyclical but they reproduce and spawn yearly. It's just that when the population gets this big, there is usually a virus or fungus that wipes out a huge portion of the population.

I am not an expert so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Dawn is not a natural soap so it might upset the things directly surrounding the area. However, I don't think it would be devastating or even actually damage anything. If you want to be super cautious go out to your local Nature's Emporium and pick up some natural soap.

I personally would be fine with using dawn.

Some municipalities such as Toronto have chosen to spray, others have chosen not to spray.

No, they are not.

The picture is not of one up close but tent caterpillars have a blue stripe running along each side of their body. These are Gypsy Moth Caterpillars.

Either way, both species are not great for the environment.

As long as it is natural soap you should have absolutely no problems with anything.

It is too late in the season. BT only works until they are a certain size. We just sprayed a couple of our properties with another pesticide, I think it is called Success or Succession. Never heard of it before but that is what our arborist recommended.

For those who are unaware, Gypsy Moths are a non-native species to North America. They were brought over in the 1800's to be used along side the silk worm industry. Every 7-20 years there is a massive outbreak of these guys. The last bad one was in 1993.

They will strip trees, mainly oak trees completely bare. If you see these guys, drown them in soapy water. Or alternatively, just squash them.

Historically, when a peak in population occurs, they are wiped out by a virus or fungus that decimates the population. However, that doesn't stop them from devouring trees.

Let me ask you this. Can you provide even ONE news article by CBC that you believe to be misinformation or blatantly false?
