🚨 Canada's housing market is so broken that developers can't sell finished condos.
So now taxpayers may be asked to step in and buy them.
Think about that.
Government policies helped create the affordability crisis.
Developers made record profits during the boom.
Canadians got priced out.
And now Canadians may get the bill too.
🇨🇦 Privatize the gains.
Socialize the losses.

This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.
@MarkJCarney Seasonal summer spikes — construction, tourism, hospitality, subsidized Canada Summer Jobs + public sector padding.
Unemployment still elevated. Not ‘building’ — pure spin.
Ontario has a per capita income of CAD$74,000.
North Dakota has a per capita income of CAD$140,000+.
Because they're not in an abusive relationship with a federal government that blocks its chief industry.
@sarobertson_ North Dakotans is more wealthy than the average Canadian. Then again, he’s never demonstrated even a basic awareness of economics, much less basic concern over human wellness.
I'm prepared to go to jail over this.
My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.
My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.
I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.
I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.
I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.
Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.
No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.
The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.
The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.
If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.
If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.
My Latest: Most Christian parents think they’re raising “good boys.” They’re actually raising risk-averse men who avoid building anything real. The research is clear:
Boys aren’t born this way. They’re trained this way.
The @cpso_ca reiterates its policy of falsifying euthanasia death certificates.
"The certificate cannot include any reference to MAID or the medications administered."
The Canadian government is giving $498,000 to the Canadian Psychiatric Association to "develop clinical guidance" for psychiatric euthanasia.
It's not even legally in force yet but the profession is already being incentivized by @GovCanHealth to get on board.
Shameful!
I want a two-tiered justice system in Canada — but the right kind.
The more power you hold, the higher the standards and harsher the consequences must be.
Any politician or senior bureaucrat convicted of corruption over $250,000 faces automatic prison until age 80 and total forfeiture of all assets.
Retroactive application:
Past 20 years: lifetime ban from public office.
Past 10 years: full penalties apply — prison until age 85 and complete asset stripping reserved for the Prime
Minister.
Fabricating claims to weaponize these rules gets you the exact same punishment.
This inversion of natural order — where the powerful face the least accountability — is a root cause of Canada’s deepest problems.
What do you think? How should we restore real accountability?

Been thinking as a Christian guy: churches push vulnerability & openness as discipleship essentials (bearing burdens, confessing sins—which is good). But we also need self-control, restraint, & discernment. The tilt toward one way of relating feels unbalanced—almost like favouring a more 'feminine' style—and it shortchanges men & holistic maturity. Men are even chastised by some for not being open enough, despite the real reasons men have for restraint. Scripture holds both in tension. Thoughts?

@EamonWilson6 I think you are right - the Scripture holds both in tension. Jesus modeled incredible vulnerability in the Garden of Gethsemane but he shared most intimately with his 3 closest friends rather than all the disciples.
