Carney ran on a platform of massive increases to home construction + social housing, which has now morphed into a massive transfer of public funds to private developers to get dogshit coffin sized condos off their books.
"Blame the password sharers" yes blame the common man!! Fight one another!!! Be at odds with your fellow human while the big bosses and ceo's pocket all the cash!!!
Hi, I work in real estate development. This is insane.
Yes, most projects are struggling. No, taxpayers should not be used to backstop private developers who misjudged the market.
If government wants more housing, build housing. Build it at cost.
That would be bad for my industry, but good public policy isn’t supposed to protect our profits, it’s supposed to serve Canadians.
Dear generation screwed, if you were waiting for prices to drop before buying a house, the Liberal government is bailing out developers and bidding against you, so that you can be a renter instead.
Canadians: “Inflation crushed us. Interest rates sent our mortgage payments through the roof. Housing became unaffordable.”
Carney: “That’s the market.”
Vancouver developers: “We’re losing money.”
Carney: “Don’t worry. Taxpayers will bail you out.”
Canadians: “Wait… so we absorb our losses, but developers get bailed out?”
Make it make sense.
.@AnitaAnandMP has refused to meet with a single of my Canadian doctor colleagues who has been to Gaza.
When I and other health workers went to deliver a @docstopgenocide letter to her office, her staff locked the door and called the police.
Weapons made right here in our communities are going to kill our brothers and sisters in Sudan, Palestine, Lebanon, and beyond.
People of conscious will not rest until this stops.
She is breaking the law and she knows it.
No justice. No peace.

This I quite the visual. Surrounded by obscene wealth and proudly announcing that you’re introducing a surveillance system that will ultimately benefit you. Cause soon they’ll be knocking at your door as to why you said something bad about that horse-faced monarchy
So if you are a family that can’t afford your mortgage because of a job loss, you are forced to sell at the current market price
But if you are a developer that built product that no one wanted, you get a taxpayer funded bailout
The stupidity is amazing 🤦♂️

The Liberals have used their newly acquired majority to push through major changes to Canada’s laws at the last minute and shut down debate on legislation with major implications for the lives of all Canadians.
This is not normal. This is what happens when a government thinks it can act with impunity.
lmao so the industry regulator asks monopolistic telecom companies to stop charging some fees and the telecoms are just like “lol, no”, fuckin peak Canada
They don't want people to figure out that if they just get off their arse they can fix their own community in 2 weeks. They want you to keep paying them taxes so they can fix your community for you. In 3 years. Maybe. Probably not.
