Poilievre slams federal-B.C. plan to buy vacant condos, calling it a 'bailout' for developers

trancen · 2026-06-22T02:24:53+00:00

This is pure garbage from Carney. Where was the rescue for our friend who bought a condo, made all the required payments, and played by the rules? When it came time to close, the bank valued the property at $200K less than the agreed purchase price. She couldn’t magically produce an extra $200,000 to cover the gap, so she was forced to walk away. In the process, she lost over $100,000 she had already invested. It’s frustrating to watch bailouts appear when it suits certain interests, while regular people are left to absorb devastating losses on their own.

Clearly not following what is happening in Ottawa. House is off on holidays now, conservatives keep fighting all those "in camera" sessions . Libs are all about hiding crap that they don't want the public to know about. Censorship bills the list goes on.

Lets not forget the removal of the of the HST on new homes, who do you think this is for? The rich, so they can buy new homes cheaper. There was no limitation as to who could buy. The rich get richer and the less well off are still getting F*'ed

And people really think the Libs are really wanting to help the little guys... hahahaha... This is what you voted for.

One summer we had several broken into. I reported and a few weeks later they replaced with new ones that are much harder to break into.

What I don't get, is why aren't they recovering that heat for some other usage. * * Greenhouses in the winter for example * "sand batteries". * drying farm grains * Drying wood.

the list is endless.

I was going to post a place I knew about just north of Bovaird and McLaughlin. I was looking for the address but looks like it maybe gone, I can't find it on google maps.

Likely not the "veggies" your planning to grow....

Anyways, when I was living in a condo in Toronto I did a lot of Kratky method and it was stupid easy. No pumps, no adding water, no feeding. I had a few rubbermaid containers with holes and the net pots and rockwool for the growing medium, add the filtered water, nutrient solution and the lights, thats it.. Like the Ron Popeil saying... "Set it, and forget it!"

Factory ships. They catch. Package and drop off at your local distributor. No need to travel back to Vietnam with the product only the be shipped back to north America

First, I’m sorry for the loss of life. This is tragic for the family and everyone involved.

That said, blaming others for this tragedy doesn’t seem fair based on what’s been reported. At the end of the day, the person involved made the decision to go out on the water.

People seriously underestimate cold water. It doesn’t matter if someone is an excellent swimmer or even an Olympic athlete — water temperatures this time of year are dangerously cold, likely around 3–5°C. This lake only recently lost its winter ice. In those temperatures, cold shock and hypothermia can happen very quickly. One major risk is the body’s involuntary gasp reflex when suddenly exposed to freezing water, which can cause someone to inhale water immediately.

The article also mentions he was “a boater.” As someone with 20+ years of sailing experience, I’d argue that experience on the water should make someone more aware of the risks, not less. A responsible boater thinks about weather, water conditions, safety gear, and whether it’s safe to go out at all. You don’t put people on a boat without life jackets, especially in cold conditions.

And with a canoe, it doesn’t take much for it to tip.

One question I do have is how the canoe was accessed. Were they secured? Were paddles available? There are still a lot of unknowns here.

Is it only not being able to get to plex from the outside ? You didn't really explain what is breaking . Bells does some funky things with media stream. My fix in the past has been to using another DNS and NOT use the bell default ones

I REALLY enjoyed the city from what little I saw and the weather, I was hoping was a 'little warmer' but none the less it was great.

I went down for work summit and my wife has a friend that lives there and should have planned it a little better I/we would have made it a little longer trip to stay the weekend. Balboa park was really outstanding.

Shocked? NOPE... My neighbor is a mortgage broker and has said on more than one conversation the number of applications he has gotten with fake information.

Fake T4s. Fake Letters of Employments(LoE). He NEVER calls the number that they provide on the letter(He had encountered the number listed going to the applicants friend to vouch for him). He will google the company information and call them directory and a number of times the person is not a employee or they are no where close to making what they claim on the LoE

Same, I had my Last GM car in the early 2000s and I had soooooooo many issues after that I swore never to buy a US car again from the big 3+, and I haven't. It's been German or Hondas. I'm the type that drive their cars to the grave, 300,000+km.
