Face Eating Leopards not welcomed at Assembly of Mauling Genocide Survivors
I guess “the world is still not entirely insane” is news too
mostly inactive, lemmy.ca is now too tainted with trolls from big instances we’re not willing to defederate

No worries. I didn’t bite it. I just don’t understand the appeal.
Why is this even a repeating issue… this is just rage bait
This is fucked up. Hoping for a fast recovery and for charges for these delinquents.
Montreal is a lovely city, but it isn’t for everyone’s tastes.
The main thing that concerns me about a fully cashless society is that the means of buying and selling stuff shifts fully into the hands of the for profit, private company payment processors.
Not necessarily true. The federal government can and should roll out their own instant payment mechanism under the supervision of the central bank or federal reserve. For reference: the FedNow initiative in the US, FPS in Hong Kong, and PIX in Brazil.
Interac is an aberration and it should be killed by a real public service.
The Star reached out to dozens of people who left Toronto
Toronto, they said, has become unlivable.
Wow, incredible investigative journalism there. In other news, The Star reached out to dozens of people who left [CITY]. “[CITY], they said, has become unlivable.” Very informative 👍
This might actually lead to housing prices dropping significantly.
This has been scarcely fulfilled promise so far, looks like this prediction has been a bit overestimated. I would very much welcome it but wouldn’t bet on it.
It’s not good enough.
This is a bit subjective, but not unfair.
Trudeau and his government are moving us backwards in climate change action.
Hmm, well, small steps forward is still forward movement.
It’s understandable that this person has this much influence, even though it’s not an elected position. But I do agree that the PBO tone and positioning is very worrying. There’s clearly some agenda in there and the man felt he had something to gain in this biased report. 100% influence peddling, though this is usually hard to prove.
Fuck TD all the way though, choosing WS over TD is worth 3%
Decent article but senseless headline. Nobody ever positioned mandatory service as a method to make Canadians love their country…
NDP has been doing a good job with Ravi Kahlon on housing. I don’t even vote by elimination, I think they’re doing a good job. Folding on decriminalization and the blind eye for LNG has been my biggest disappointments but still overall satisfied with the last 2y of provincial government.
I appreciate the Tyee squeezing every possible angle against this but…
trading partners take the threat of climate change seriously and use carbon tariffs to punish other countries they see as free riders
The US and they would be happy to see the carbon tax go away, so they don’t have “communism” nearby, and we know that “trading partner” for Canada means mostly the US. The odds of Canada getting sanctioned for backtracking a 1 yr old tax is negligible.
This is addressed in the article (A greening American leviathan), but I won’t be holding my breath. Even if carbon tariffs has bipartisan appeal for now, let’s see what happens when the time comes.
Because he knows conservatives are coming, and this is yet another futile attempt to cater to these devils before election
keeping returns below inflation will divert investors from the real estate market over time.
There are multiple types of Real Estate investors. We want to attract investors who build, who finance land development, infill, retrofits and so on. These will keep coming because the goal is to sell the labor of construction, and that can still be profitable. We don’t want to attract land speculators or rent-seekers, these provide little value to the market.
They will HODL however if not presented with exit strategy. If they are allowed time to divest and exit - they will IMO
Investors (i.e. institutional/professionals, not amateurs) don’t hold on to investments because they lack an exit strategy. It’s the exact opposite. Investors get rid of assets as soon as there’s enough information to say a loss is likely.
I know that the biggest chunk of real estate “investors” are amateur shops, people hoarding homes as their retirement plan, and these might hold on despite bad performance yeah. This happens all over the world because in most markets Real Estate is a bad investment, yet people are addicted to it.
But in any case, I was discussing the outcomes under the hypothesis that home prices are following inflation, so the hypothesis includes the assumption that there’s enough market transactions to put those prices under control.
I think the plausible circumstance is them selling and moving out of Canada
Or moving to SK
I’d say that would be fine in theory, if “retain its value” meant that housing would follow very closely but tailing local inflation. That won’t happen though. As long as “housing needs to retain its value” ideology runs the country, housing will be viewed as an investment and scarcity will cause it to push inflation upwards. Even trying really hard to quell these prices it might beat inflation, and even if it were a success it would take decades of nominal-growth with negative-real-returns to bring those prices to parity with incomes.
So no, even if “technically maybe?” the answer is still no.
Mobi in Vancouver is pretty decent, some stations have reliability issues but there are enough stations to make it work. I too own a bike and use Mobi pretty much every week for the same reasons described in the article. It’s also perfect when friends come visit the city and I just lend them my anual pass, it blows their mind that they can bike around mostly for free.
If only the service was slightly cheaper, and there were more AAA bike facilities specially outside downtown. Maybe one day when municipal government stops moving backward into car-dependency.
