I’m guessing the pillar of English composition fell before your time as well.

Do you have any links to perhaps back up that assertion? I have my doubts that it’s always been as high as 50%.

Anyone saying they’d vote Liberal instead of any other parry likely isn’t a renter. Or you know, you could recognize that different people have different reasons for voting. Agree on your point about the NDP tho, that they’re not making hay in the current socioeconomic context is pretty damning on party leadership.

Anyone but Liberal. Can’t stand the Cons, esp PP, but no way can I vote team red.

To be fair, it’s not just young people. Even as a centre left vote I’m voting ABL next time, rewarding their lack of action on so many issues just isn’t an option.

Simply because you’re not aware on an angle on an issue doesn’t make it a bizarre take.

I’m sure one of the more self-righteous folk will dismissively tell you you’re merely parroting “talking points” shortly instead of actually reading your comment.

CBU absolutely abuses the student visa program. The housing situation in Sydney has been awful now for a few years, but unless there is some disincentive for CBU I don’t see it changing, unfortunately.

You may have misunderstood my comment; it was intended to suggest that I strongly question your values and priorities because you’re attempting to equate something as innate as race with material wealth. I’d go further to say that your conflating communism and socialism with nazism and fascism is merely ideological drivel.

Even attempting to draw a parallel like that between race/ethnicity and material wealth is a fairly questionable take to most rational people I’d say, or at least hope.

StatsCan uses an odd assortment of consumer goods to track inflation, which doesn’t really reflect what pressures consumers are facing in Canada, I’d hazard a guess it’s likely closer to 5%.

Housing and cost of living issues are very much still at the forefront of most Canadians’ mind, barring the wealthy. The federal govt has done nothing of note on either issue, and I’d posit that they’re likely to get hit pretty hard from both sides come election season. I’m personally aghast that our federal govt is willing to accept such a huge leap of unhoused Canadians while those in power sit on their hands.

Finally going to finish off TOTK, been taking my time with it, trying to find as much organically without looking anything up online. It’s been ages since I’ve done that with a game, and it’s really been worth it.

I honestly can’t figure out if your entire account is simply for pro-Russian astroturfing or if you are actually sincerely believe the incredibly low-quality information you find online.

I think your comparison of your industry to the grocery industry likely isn’t particularly akin, the grocery industry is much more…peculiar, or at least idiosyncratic than most, which is illustrated by the price of groceries not being in line with inflation.

To be fair, that’s a pretty lambastable policy idea. In the least the fed govt could be providing funding incentives to municipalities for housing. Only if your poles are absolute inaction and poor policy is it a lose/lose situation.

I’m always surprised by the lack of imagination when folks bring up jurisdiction with respect to the housing crisis. The federal govt has an abundance of tools it can use to leverage pressure on the provinces. Even if we were to go by your rather narrow view of the issue, that the federal govt has yet to even begin to make noises about supply-side tweaks certainly suggests that it is simply not a priority for them, that they are comfortable with the seriously disturbing rise of unhoused Canadians and tent encampments in most major Canadian cities.

Personally, I’m pretty shocked that things have progressed to where we are now, and, despite being quite left of centre, this is such an issue in my area that voting Liberal again is simply unimaginable. I’m certainly not proud to be forced into considering voting blue (orange is a much likelier option but i cant say I’m particularly pleased with them having tied their cart to the govt’s horse) but I simply can’t reward a govt for such inaction on such a fundamental issue.
