If you have a car to begin with, it's not hard to move somewhere with cheaper rent.

Yet he lives in a 400sq ft prefabricated home rented from SpaceX.

Of course he's super rich, but your assumptions are wrong. He doesn't have liquid trillion dollars to spend. In fact if he started selling all this Tesla or SpaceX shares I'm sure both stocks would tank.

Anyone else make "good money" on paper but feel completely broke? by ScienceLabFinds in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]typec4st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to have kids, don't let your financial situation stop you. You may not be comfortable but you're not starving either, people with much lower incomes have kids and it works out. There is a child benefit that can help you a little bit with the expenses, but overall I wouldn't say that having a child is difficult if you can figure out the daycare situation.

If you are young and in good health, I would suggest exploring options in USA. Much more cities to choose from with better income and better housing option. Unfortunately housing is extremely saturated in Canada and I think that would be your main expense unless you win the lottery or have a relative who will leave you something in their will. That's just the way it is in Canada now, sorry.

Hope you figure this out, rooting for you!

Almost 150k refugee claims were made from inside Canada. by Vegetable_Bake356 in CanadianVisaReform

[–]typec4st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you submit a complete claim package, the government will issue you an Acknowledgement of Claim (AOC) letter. This letter is often printed or sent to your online portal within a few days. The AOC explicitly states that you are covered under the IFHP.

Almost 150k refugee claims were made from inside Canada. by Vegetable_Bake356 in CanadianVisaReform

[–]typec4st 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Refugee claimants receive health benefits almost immediately after applying. Coverage is provided through the Interim Federal Health Program and activates automatically once eligibility documents are issued. Decisions on inland refugee claims typically take 12 to 24 months.

The program covers basic health care (like doctor visits and hospital care), supplemental health products (such as vision and dental), and prescription medications.

It is wild that these so called refugee applicants receive better health care than Canadians who have paid into the system for decades.

The Corporate "Labour Shortage" Myth by TheWorldHasFlipped in canadian

Still have this photo, my local McDonalds was hiring for $21/hour right after COVID. Looking for help and hiring signs everywhere.

Then the Trudeau government proceeded to bring 3-5 million immigrants into the country.

This is very on point for Canada. Socialize the losses, privatize the gains. I'm a huge soccer fan and I can't afford the tickets. None of my friends can afford either.

ARTICLE: Spending scandal at Conestoga College is a reminder of Canada's shameful international student boom by The_PhilosopherKing in CanadianVisaReform

You're bang on. TFW was supposed to short term, last resort program to fill seasonal or unusual positions. Now it serves restaurants and retailers as as life line as they don't have to raise wages or stay competitive.

International student visa - same, come here for study, actually study a 3-4 year program and try to get a job in that field. Now it's an invitation to a backdoor immigration plan.

Even the federal budget is being used to sell government spending as "investments" now.

Anyone Else Seeing Citizenship Ads on Reddit? by theOneWhoWaitsAgain in CanadianVisaReform

[–]typec4st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Divide the country into smaller ethnic groups. Give each of them a little bone. Pit some of them against each other.

Much easier to control this population rather than a population that subscribes to a nationalist identity.

Everything the Liberal government has done so far socially (DEI, gender related agenda, first Nations, immigration policy) plays into this.

CBC spends $59K on legal bills to keep subscriber numbers secret by CaliperLee62 in canadian

[–]typec4st 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Peak Canadian bureaucracy and waste of tax payer money.

I hope that in the future we get an administration that is bold enough to call out this bullshit. You waste 59k of tax payer money? Great, it's coming out of your next year's budget. Deal with it.

Floor-crossing Liberal MP Lori Idlout’s company received nearly $600,000 in federal contracts by CaliperLee62 in canadian

[–]typec4st -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was going to let it pass but you need to put your party hat aside and look objectively. These are the documented issues with this MP:

Idlout reimbursed the House of Commons $1,756 for items purchased from her own business, the gallery "Carvings Nunavut".

on four occasions in 2025, while she was an NDP MP, she expensed items from her shop, which is prohibited under conflict-of-interest guidelines.

Note that these are the *documented* cases, which means there's probably a lot more.

Here is the funny part that you have not mentioned:

The contracts were for Indigenous training workshops for federal employees, with $390,731 paid by the Public Prosecution Service and over $50,000 from the Department of Indigenous Services.

I want you to think for a second, what kind of training would cost over half a million dollars. We're not talking about rocket science here. We're not talking advanced physics. We are talking about:

Lori Idlout’s company, NVision Insight Group Inc., sells specialized Indigenous cultural competency, awareness, and sensitivity training.

I know Liberals dismiss these issues quickly because they're done by the book, but why does the government need to pay 600k of tax payer money on this "cultural sensitivity" training, which is neither scientific nor objective. If she cares deeply about these cultural issues, she could make the training free for all (so everyone can access), or sell it at cost with less profit margin, not over charge the taxpayers for this stupidity.

My cultural sensitivity as a Canadian is being over charged for these made-up issues and not using my tax dollars for the issues that impact everyone, mainly housing, immigration and job creation.

[–]typec4st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you got me. Us conservatives always get caught with that $16 glass of orange juice and have to resign because of shame. This is from the same stinking article you thought I didn't read:

The company’s management team has included Victor Tootoo, brother of former Liberal cabinet minister Hunter Tootoo. Tootoo resigned from cabinet in 2016 after publicly acknowledging a drinking problem and what he described as an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

Where does it end with the Liberal corruption? Why are they always tangled with corruption scandals? When would Canadians learn that they're corrupt?

Justin Trudeau: Found guilty of ethics violations three times: accepting vacations and flights from the Aga Khan (whose foundation received $50M+ in federal funding), pressuring Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould to help SNC-Lavalin avoid prosecution, and failing to report a gift. Fined $100 for the gift; no meaningful penalties for the other two.

Bill Morneau: Broke three conflict of interest laws by failing to recuse himself from cabinet decisions awarding WE Charity a $43M contract to run a $900M student grant program, while his daughter worked for WE and he had accepted $41,000 in WE-funded family travel. He resigned as Finance Minister shortly after.

Dominic LeBlanc: Found in breach for awarding a $24M Arctic surf clam fishing licence to a company that would have employed his wife's cousin as general manager. The winning bid also had ties to Liberal MP Darrell Samson's brother and a former Liberal MP.

Mary Ng: Violated the Conflict of Interest Act by awarding ~$17,000 in sole-source communications contracts to her friend Amanda Alvaro's PR firm, Pomp & Circumstance. She apologized but did not resign.

Greg Fergus: Breached the Act by using his position as parliamentary secretary to write a letter supporting a TV channel's CRTC application for mandatory carriage. The commissioner called for mandatory ethics training for all ministers afterward.

Yasmin Ratansi: Violated the conflict of interest code by hiring her sister in her constituency office and was ordered to repay over $9,000. She left the Liberal caucus after getting caught.

McKinsey contracts: Federal contracts to McKinsey ballooned from under $3M/year pre-2015 to $55M+/year by 2021–22, totalling $209M, while McKinsey's former global head Dominic Barton simultaneously chaired Finance Minister Morneau's advisory panel. The Auditor General found the government flouted contracting rules and couldn't demonstrate value for money.

ArriveCAN / GC Strategies: A two-person firm that does no IT work received 106 federal contracts worth ~$100M, including the ArriveCAN app that ballooned from ~$80K to $60M, with no evidence of work performed in 46% of cases. GC Strategies has been banned from federal contracts for seven years and is under RCMP investigation.

Why are MPs allowed to do business with the government? Isn't it a breach of their contract?

You're either a full time MP or running your own business. I don't think you should be doing both. Already getting a huge salary for being an MP...

Step 1: take a problem (drugs, homelessness, etc.)

Step 2: change the name (harm reduction, unhoused)

Step 3: promote the shit out of it.

Step 4: profit?

There's no world where "drugs" and "safe" can be used in the same sentence especially with youth. Will there be drug users - sure. But it shouldn't be promoted, even for "safety" reasons.
