Or to gamers who insist on playing these unoptimized games at max settings. $80 for the game, and then spend $1000 buying a gpu that can run the game.

Exactly. It's great that the feds want to fix things... but the Provinces hold most of the levers being directly responsible for letting things devolve so far.

Here in BC Christy Clarke threw gasoline on the fire in 2016'ish and I watched condo prices jump 50% in months. I was lucky to have a condo to sell, but I also couldn't afford that same condo for the price I sold it. It's bonkers how much prices have gone up.

The NDP here has done something, if not enough.

In the end it's a pretty intractable problem. As a country we bet on housing as an investment and now we're paying the piper so to speak.

Shocking, I know.

It's actually sad that any women voted for him at all 🤷

Nope, but the capitalist class and their enforcement goons want to paint them that way. Makes it easier to violate their rights.

This! Of course it's insolvent.

We're expecting a gov't service that is in the same category as "maintaining property rights" to opperate as a for profit business? Stupid. If we want a national mail service we need to pay for it.

Might as well ask the military to be self-financing 🙄

🤣😝😹🙄😸🥲

Fuck you dude, you haven't banned our products from your shelves you threatened to take over our shelves, violently.

The Americans can't have it both ways, if you're waging economic war (and that's what's currently happening) we're not playing nice. Stop with the threats to our sovereignty and stop the economic chaos and we can talk about putting away our knives.

If you wanted to talk, you needed to start there. Chaos first, means you're serious about not talking 🙄

To "lock in the status quo" of not having official party status? Lol, there's an example of poor goal setting if ever I saw one.

The Coop died. This thing wearing it's hide is a monstrosity.

Lol, self-owned 🤣

I agree, I was just being polite. Harper is the worst.

Carney is a breath of fresh air in Federal politics, didn't vote for them, but I approve of him as Prime Minister.

Harper made Canada a laughing stock internationally, Trudeau saved our image only to prove too vapid and gain us a rep for big talk and no action.

PP loves to talk about the "lost Liberal decade" but frankly I see 20 wasted under PM's that were little more than heavily polished caricatures of people; more interested covering up their mistakes than fixing real problems.

Carney seems like a real person, and one with relevant qualifications, who acts like an adult and wants to fix problems.

Or this is an "Obama" moment for Canada, a last impotent chance for change before the flood of misinformation fractures our institutions irrevocably 🤷
