"Manipulation is when someone blames you for your reaction to their toxic behavior but never wants to discuss the disrespect that triggered you.” ~Pammy DS @_pammy_ds_
@StevensonLDN disappointing to see so many attack the credibility of the source - an old legal deflection technique. Why not attack the credibility of the proposed solutions? Why not attack the success of the Mayor of San Diego or the recovered addict who speaks from personal experience?
@Nicholasan68973@MikePMoffatt I think it was the drop in interest rates. People forget that proportionately, dropping from 3% to 2 % is drastically greater than dropping from 11% to 10%. One’s buying power skyrockets.
@MikePMoffatt Excellent analysis. No question the 90s had flat prices everywhere as I recall. It was the constant decrease in interest rates plus rising wages that drove prices up. On that basis, the next ten years are likely to be flat as rates stabilize and real wages struggle, I would guess
Canada has long been weak in encouraging fair competition in the marketplace. Parliament just passed a new Competition Act, supported by all parties that is a game-changer. This is great news that has been long overdue. Well done Ottawa.

had died: “When death came it found him living.” I recall thinking what a
lovely thing to say about someone who has died.” Phil Small. Dec 2023.
@WrayAJ It’s rather basic - you have to offer competitive salaries. I could say the same about city councillors - where London positions are paid half of a similar-sized city like Hamilton. Compensation attracts talent. It’s that simple.
@melanie_korach This past spring, here in #ldnont , I dropped to the ground across from my house due to a sudden back spasm. A man instantly pulled off the road to check if I was okay. Another couple stopped on the road and asked about me. A third couple, my neighbour, spotted me and ran over💕
Don’t feel qualified? Nobody does.
You can only be qualified to do that which you have already accomplished or trained for.
Anything new is accomplished by unqualified people.
This wanton vandalism happened to the new Damascus House restaurant on Commissioners Rd West. Three large rocks thrown through the window. Glass everywhere. Will the police take action? Very disturbing. :-( #ldnont
