@Kingfox Legit you are the D&D dad. Also I’m going to need you to tell me where/how you mount your projector

[S. Jones @Graye]

@Kingfox Did you check for ruins? Or villainous plots? I hear those are often found nearby.

Canada’s housing crisis will do more economic damage than most can imagine.

Not through a crash, but elevated costs force young people to worry about shelter instead of taking risks.

It’s turned into a plutocracy to rent cheap labor to billionaires.

@jacqui Yes. We have two kids who were unvaccinated at the time due to being too young, and the whole family got sick, but we are all fine. For my wife and I it was a brutal fever and cold, even with 2x vax. Kids had fevers for a couple days but are ok. We got lucky.

@jacqui I had it in September after being double-vaxxed! Don’t want to think what it would have been like without it. COVID is no joke!

you could write thousands of words about British Columbia's floods happening in the aftermath of a world climate conference full of warnings that we're running out of time

or you could look at a single @Ben_Nelms photo

@CTVNewsAndrew @toddcoyne That was a good story!

[S. Jones @Graye]

@Kingfox I completely missed that when it came out. Song was solid but that video was dope @CTVNewsAndrew

@theJagmeetSingh Maybe press him on his policies supporting home hoarding and speculation on single family housing by the landlord class.

@brianinvictoria @CTVNewsAndrew @JoePerkinsCHEK @CHEK_News @TheZellersStore Take comfort in the fact that it's currently being used as a vaccination centre but the doors STILL say Zellers on them.

The housing boom is ripping apart the financial fabric of Canadian life.

@richardzussman Ask him about soaring home prices and how he will deal with them. National Daycare is amazing but with housing prices going up 20-30% year, won’t all those daycare savings be consumed by higher housing costs if people can’t buy into the market?

This is a must-watch. @DrKaliBarrett on COVID-19 in Ontario.

Canada pumping home prices 40% higher in a year and telling young adults it would ruin retirements if prices dropped 10%...

... is the government admitting they billed young adults for boomer retirements, and they couldn't before the pandemic.

Never waste a crisis, eh?

@TOAdamVaughan @SabrinaMaddeaux @JustinTrudeau So some landlord with three investment property's "equity" is more important than my family of four's ability to buy a first house? I've saved for years, relocated from high-priced markets to lower-priced markets and yet the ladders keep getting pulled up in front of us.

@ronmortgageguy This is the worst policy and I'm done voting Liberal. I have a good management job and work in tech and as first-time homebuyers we're priced out of the market. It affects the whole country. He should act or resign.

@Kingfox @jedimentat @dwilsonreporter @CTVNewsAndrew I know a good bandwagon when I see one
