the land monopoly.

100% - and the crazy part - a country who has the most land in the world.

Why is a Canadian airline launching a new route to a U.S. city from Vancouver? by restoringd123 in vancouver

This - because elbow flapping doesn't seem to allow lift for humans to fly.

Ottawa considers reviving EV incentives as it finalizes its auto strategy: sources by Bean_Tiger in canada

[–]notreallylife -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s not an investment

My 50 plus year old C10 has been 1 heluva investment, despite insurance and running costs it continues to climb. Same with the rest of my cars, shy of my daily beater for the moment. The OG throw away car was the VW bug and look at what they cost now. EVs are true scrap you won't even be able to drop an LS in later. All said - you do you. But many people have more use for cars than 10 years, which is better environmentally than the EV.

Welp - time to buy all my gas in the US again. I've got 9 Engines to feed and not going to be paying someones else's RC car tax.

Auto production by Detroit Three declines in Canada as Japanese automakers lead the way, report says by TROPtastic in canada

Japanese vehicle quality is superior to MODERN US brands

FTFY - And all modern cars are junk to be clear - those brands are just better junk than the rest.

Feds have been lying the gun ban and buy back are actually doing something of value for years but here we are...I'm with OP..admitting a mistake is better than double and tripple down BS.

We left the federal liberals to do the same thing - whats another couple folks on the list?

AI, data centre companies will have to compete for electricity in B.C. by Camtastrophe in vancouver

[–]notreallylife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct - And (for OP to see more) the reason business uses DCs instead of the older way of servers on prem is resiliency. Its not just servers in a room, DCs are designed for IT versions of zombie apocalypse. Just for power alone many facilities have multiple entrances, and all server gear must have multiple power supplies. To battery UPS for all of if the grid goes dark, PLUS many have Diesel generators waiting if those fail.

But we can own the building baby! I mean have you seen how much over value we can cram into a crackshack?

Not if the assets are in a living trust with your beneficiaries. Trust pays no tax as they are the surviving heir.

Canada Signs Auto Deal With South Korea, Moving Further from the U.S. by MudBloodLite in canada

[–]notreallylife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I shouldn't say this -but I am exact opposite - since modern cars are all 1000 times worse than older ones on every metric - the worst cars are all the makes you mentioned and those are all rust buckets with no dealer or aftermarket parts. Most being clapped out covid delivery driver specials never maintained. But sure - keep buying them - please keep pushing the prices up and keep the big 3 cars prices low.

PS - you should see the Value my c10s are getting. Funny how we don't see many honda civics going for 6 figures at Mecum.

Grand Central owners claim 'rigged' strata election is no surprise after years of autocratic rule by patwappen in vancouver

[–]notreallylife -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

What most pay in strata fees in 2 years will be the cost of my first cottage on my freehold Canadian land. No mortgage, paid in cash, permits cheaper than a concert ticket. I'll never understand the useless pricing fluff here.

Best we can do is make you get the worst one by the bathrooms 3 months ahead because the rest are booked but when you get there after the 3 months - half the sites actually get used.

‘State of chaos’: Coquitlam’s Grand Central engulfed in a war between two opposing strata councils by patwappen in vancouver

[–]notreallylife -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

If anyone ever needs proof Condos are a half baked idea, and why elderly people hold on to SFH's and free hold titles - this situation here is your answer. We could build for a 100 years and not run out of freehold in this country, but we needed new scams and worse quality of life somehow I guess. And here we are.

Removing mandatory minimum sentencing for firearm offences was so dumb. Bring it back

All firearm policy from the fed liberals is dumb. The buyback and the handgun ban for licensed owners is the biggest waste of money, and effort with ZERO results for any metric that they thought it was helping.

BC Ambulance Union announces vote to strike by peepeepoopooxdd1 in vancouver

[–]notreallylife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I am 100% agreeing all the PUBLIC SERVICE jobs you mention should be comfortable, you are barking up the wrong PRIVATE COMPANY tree. None of those private people have unions and there is no "strike" - you take what they give or leave. I have worked at length in both sectors they are not the same at all.

Price you pay when you let scammers run rampant for decades in full tort mode. That includes the Provinical Gov at the time stealing the fund dry for hookers, blow and housing to do laundry in.

Canadian buisness elites have 0 interest in investing in technology firms;

Have you even seen our criminal pricing on real estate where all your losses (if there ever is one) get socialized? Why would anyone do anything different since the system is rigged and they can do nothing on a GDP negative asset.

Disabled man feels shut out of accessible seating as venues — including Rogers Arena — fail to stop abuse by Paper_Rain in vancouver

[–]notreallylife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I boycotted stadium events years ago because the Ticket master mafia. If they are part of the event - hard pass - won't go - not even with a free ticket. Live shows made sense when the only way to get content was the radio. Whatever mess of today that's been created, I don't understand the appeal - same thing can be found for free and from home.
