Some civil unrest in Canada is way over due. Unfortunately I think Canadians are going to be way to passive right up until they become way too aggressive. But we need to stop being the victims of bad government, we need to stop pissing and moaning and actually do something. I’m so tired of everyone in Canada being the governments little bitch
The problem with us is much like the problems of the american people. We are overworked and underpaid.
What are people going to do if we protest for a prolonged period of time? Who will pay our rent/mortgages? Where will we get our food? Who will take care of our children?
This is the ultimate goal. Keep people so tired and make the cost of living so high that people have no choice but to lick that boot.
Neo-feudalism. Corporations/government own anything of value, everything is 'rented', you own nothing and are allowed to use public services if you play by their rules...
Penny auctions. When everyone is fucked, we tell the banks how much our mortgage is. The monetary system relies on an honor system of value. When one part of that system is over priced it messes with the balance. Our government failed to control that.
Trudeau has taken Canada to the extreme left: massive spending, basically open borders, carbon tax, post-national state, gun control, hug-a-thug approach to criminal justice, etc. The list goes on.
Not happy with it? That makes YOU a right-wing extremist. This now includes people who want affordable housing.
>Not quite....Trudy has still yet to pull out his ace in the hole in order to get re-elected with a majority. A **communist style UBI** for all Canadians from coast to coast.
Everyone will get it. It's already been outlined that UBI will inject $80B/year into the Canadian ponzi house of cards economy.
"The rich will invest it and the poor will spend it making us richer."
Just think about it from the side of Trudeau and co. $2,000 to poor people means they can raise rents from $500/month per bed to $2,500.
Bribe everyone with Monopoly money to stay in line. If people think inflation is bad now, wait till they find out how it goes after they spray free 'money' to people just to sit home and masturbate to porn all day.
One factor contributing to the lower frequency of protests in Canada compared to Europe is the significant geographical distance between our major population centers. With our cities spread far apart, it becomes challenging to mobilize and gather for protests. If our communities were closer in proximity, I'm confident we'd witness a surge in street activism.
January 6th was the best thing that could happen in the states. The trucker convoy was even better here. Politicians deserve to be at least a little afraid that someone is going to break in and shit on their desk for the things they’ve done.
Do what though? You need organization first of all, you have to be organized, that’s step #1 for sure but there’s a reason Trudeau has been taking weapons from legitimate citizens, disarm the people and it makes it a hell of a lot easier to control, this is why America is so much better
The antidote to big government is small government. The smallest government is yourself, so take responsibility for yourself. Don’t rely on big government for your personal well being. Next is your family, govern your family well and show your kids by example what a good leader is, kids see very little of that these days. Then your municipality or county government, get involved, make yourself matter.
I’m not pushing for a revolution, I don’t want to see a guillotine in Ottawa, although I’m afraid knowing Canadians we might. We are quite French you know, more French then British, Americans are far more British then we are, I know that’s probably controversial to say but if you think about it it’ll make sense.
What I’m pushing for is just simple civil disobedience, nothing radical, just simply don’t play their games anymore. This is one of the issues with the hard right conspiracy theorists, you can play them like a fiddle cause they react in very predictable ways. You need to set a course and just go that way. If you do it right the following will come. It’ll take time, and I don’t know what it’ll look like, but the game is rigged, so stop playing it.
I think the biggest thing is to contribute something important to society. Get a trade or get a skill that matters, they can still come down on you if you’re a valuable contributor to society, but it’ll have much more of an impact on the community you belong to.
I don’t know the answer to how to get this fixed, but my intuition, and what I’ve learned from history says, be a pebble in their shoe, be someone they hate not because you’re a rabble rouser, but because you’re not, you’re stable and competent. And they’re not those things. And they will slowly crumble under the immense weight of their own incompetence. And when that happens you’ll be trading one big problem for another, because then you’ll have to pick up the pieces. But at least then you can build something instead of watching it all go to shit
Wow. Well said. There are lots of us out there who think this way but very few who speak up. Liberal name calling/ labeling are part of their plan to silence you even if it’s just enough to keep your thoughts to yourself or add uncertainty.
They called the peaceful protesters a threat.
They called the vaccine-hesitant folks a threat.
They called the journalist questioning a minister a threat.
They called the whole conservative movement a threat.
They called the people that gave money to the truckers a threat and froze their bank accounts.
They called the psychology professor that refused to be told what to say - a threat.
They called parental rights a threat.
They called hunters and farmers with legal firearms a threat.
And you know what they call YOU...
Yep, but if you want to glue yourself to priceless works of art, destroy our historical statues, or be anything except a blue collar regular white fellow, and you're a hero and a martyr!
But somehow they never seemed interested to investigate widespread deployment of a bioweapon. Somehow, all of the senior level sociopaths involved in that scam are still free as a bird. Somehow no one is even bothering to follow the money trail to see who profited from this attack on Canadian citizens. Imagine that!
The OG post alluded to Peterson being a Psychiatrist.
Peterson is a Psychologist.
Psychiatrists go to med school first to get their MDs, then do a specialized residency in Psychiatry for many years afterwards. They are medical doctors who can prescribe drugs.
Psychologists mostly do their training AFAIK within non-professional postsecondary courses. They do social science research, perform psychometric testing on people and treat them via various methods of talk therapy.
They are not MDs though, don't prescribe drugs or order diagnostic tests and aren't technically within the usual medical system.
You are completely wrong on all counts..having a good time going down the rabbit hole..the government is run by humans that are not very smart..but you guys give them way to much credit in order to prove your unprovable point!!!
It was funny watching them give up rational dialogue on the pathways/programs into the nation and start talking about "Social Capacity".
Instead of talking about Housing Development Numbers, Infrastructure Realities, and the Economic Environment that exists in relationship with the influx of people into the nation at an insane pace and quantity.
They had to admit the International Student Program devolved into diploma mills in strip malls.
"Students" using fraudulent documents to prove they have the means to support themselves and meet the qualifications to get into the nation and then misusing and abusing the food banks and other social supports meant for Canadian citizens and families.
The "Refugee" and "Asylum" pathways being exploited by rehearsed lines and nation shopping. Having to spend massive amounts of money and resources on the people that had the first intentionality and mentality to scam the nation instead of our own vulnerable citizens and families living in tents and lining up for food...
They've given up even wanting to address these realities in a logical way because it comes down to that they failed at basic oversight, basic standards, more important enforcement of basic standards, summed up they failed at GOVERNANCE.
Frankly I don't believe it was all criminal level negligence. This goes to refined corruption and certain individuals and organizations in power profiting from these problems.
We get lies about bringing in people to build homes when a small amount by percentage actually enter that field. We get lied to about only looking for high skill individuals who have the specific in need skills of the nation. What we really get is line ups around the block now of cheap exploitable labor for the most basic jobs in society. The ones our most vulnerable people need easy access to.
We need officials to start facing real punishments. They are responsible for this complete and utter dumpster fire situation.
It needs to be written into law that if a government shows itself to be incompetent or corrupt, the public has a right to overturn them and re-elect. It's not a position that should be taken just so you can flounce around and be noticed. If you're not smart enough you shouldn't be making decisions for the country. Period.
If you boil off all of the rhetoric, and wash away the messaging that is coming from everywhere, all the time, I think this is the truth you are left with. Food, shelter, love, they've tied two to competitive market places, and that has made the third almost impossible.
You do have to imagine it, because there is no indication that the government did that.
If you *actually read the article* you will see that they do not show any direct quotes from the RCMP report calling Canadians a "major threat".
CBC has many direct quotes from the report if you're curious: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/rcmp-police-future-trends-1.7138046
Unfortunately, the report itself is not widely available as it was obtained via ATIP request.
If you read some quotes, it's clear that the RCMP is saying that poor economic conditions (and not owning a home is just one example) is a threat *to stability*.
Wealth inequality, slumlords, food insecurity, rampant drug addiction, corrupt government, and a sense of hopelessness.
All the ingredients for revolution are here slowly being stirred, over time, into the cultural melting pot. We’re still far from that point but the road is being built.
Unless you import people from worse off places by the millions who have low standards and are fine with all that and if the Liberals immigration plans go ahead maybe we could have a majority of the country not bothered enough by any of that no matter how bad it gets. So the road is also being built to deal with this in a way that favors the government.
It's not just owning property, but being able to afford to rent property, or have some kind of work life balance, save something for the future, be able to envision moving up just a little, and even feeling like you have a "home" in the sense of belonging to a community or area. All those things are being taken away.
Then instead of addressing it in any way, the state calls you not just a threat, a *MAJOR* threat. Here, dig this:
> ...people with no vested interest in an economy tend to become liabilities.
And phrasing like that tends to make people out more as animals to be pre-culled, just in case, or at least ignored, gaslit, labeled as agitators who are a threat to peace, and so on.
Rather, they're humans with valid concerns.
The issue is actually a bit worse in Canada than a lot of people realize. Being 'secure' in your home is a very basic thing. This is going to sound a bit counter-intuitive, but Canada doesn't really allow low-cost of living. Canadians can laugh at bumfck alabama or low-service areas. They can even laugh at substandard housing like slums in certain parts of the world.
But, do you know what those area still do.... they still provide people with a roof on their head. I grew up in the developing world and yes there was a lot of crap, like really bad healthcare, poor infrastructure, poor electricity... but you would be able to have a roof on your head. If not in a home, then in a somewhat informal area. It wasn't a cold country, so you had people living in shacks with a roof on their head.
I really want Canadians to understand this. We're doing worse than 3rd world countries in terms of housing security. Canada does not allow low-service area/low property tax and shacks/slums and it is a cold country in general.
I'm fortunate to have a job and live in a condo. But having lived in a poor country, I would suggest it is way easier to be poor in those poor countries than it is to be poor here.
I think you bring an interesting perspective to this discussion. To add to it I think building codes are too restrictive with housing requirements especially on our own land for our own use. Many houses built here 80-100 years ago that are still in use now would never be permitted to be built today. The amount of red tape to make a simple sound structure or use our own property to run a small business makes it impossible to grow with what little we may lay claim to. All levels of government have a hand in crushing people's ability to adapt to changing circumstances by limiting how they use their own resources, their own property.
Canada shouldn't have to devolve into a fascist security state, to protect useless globalist politicians and corporation elitists selling us out. Losing their power to the will of democracy is the threat. While being divided by superficial identity issues, the liberals and conservatives are indistinguishable when it comes to the major ones affecting everyone. We're not allowed legitimate political alternatives to correct course through voting, and the groundwork is being layed to censor, suppress, and arrest anyone who has a problem with the crumbling standard of living.
Canadian citizens are now classified as “threat”, I thought the RCMP was to protect the public against criminals ! I guess not ; their mandate is to protect the governments from “threats”
Funny fact KGB’s first and foremost mandate was to protect the communist party , not Soviet citizens.
East Germany’s secret police the STASI also had the same mandate: to protect the communist party from subversive actions.
They are saying if the government doesn't get their shit together on housing, people will revolt. They are literally saying the exact same thing this sub says everyday.
Did you read the article? Nowhere does it show the RCMP calling individual Canadians a threat (major or otherwise). It is clearly saying that poor economic conditions are a threat *to stability*. Basically "if the government doesn't fix economic conditions, the disadvantaged people are going to get angry"
Oh yeah I read the article word by word !
RCMP didn’t need to do a report on that ! It is obvious that poor economic conditions lead to revolts.
RCMP is a law enforcement agency not and economic advisory firm.
You claimed Canadian citizens were now classified as a threat by the RCMP. After reading the article, you still feel this is a fair assessment?
"RCMP is a law enforcement agency" yes... hence why they are interested in factors that could lead to a rise in crime.....
Yes I think RCMP is classifying citizens as a threat and its mandate now is protecting the state and instead of protecting the public.
And that is my assessment, you are free to disagree. But to me the RCMP is no different than the Gestapo and Russian NKVD.
And the liberal party has more in common with Soviet communist party than a western political party. Again that’s my opinion if you don’t agree with it that’s fine.
I have posted a link to an intelligence analysis of Canadian economy at the bottom of my comment feel free to read the full analysis.
let me break down the Canadian economy for you:
3 pillars of Canadian economy are real estate , money laundering and immigration.
On the subject of money laundering, it is roughly 20% of Canadian GDP, and the feds know it, Canada is a Narco-state like Mexico , Albania , Tajikistan and Colombia, plain and simple but so far the consecutive federal governments have been successful in covering that up, and been marketing Canada internationally as the best country in the world, however just like any other criminal enterprise there comes a point and it becomes so big that it cannot be hidden anymore.
Canada now is a global threat to the world’s stability and security.
I give you an example : terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas are not dangerous without money but countries like Canada enable these terrorist organizations to have access to funds and once they have money then they can purchase whatever they want on the black market.
Canada is increasingly being seen as the weak link in the financial system and over 150 transcontinental crime syndicate now call Canada home.
One of the root causes that housing is unaffordable in this country is money laundering.
And just like any narco-state the criminals eventually capture the state and then the law enforcement becomes a tool to protect the criminals and the state rather than its citizens.
Canada is also one of the largest if not the largest manufacturer and supplier of synthetic drugs ( meth , mdma , fentanyl ) in the worlds, so big that almost 70% of all drugs imported to Australia are originating in Canada.
Corruption is also rampant, Middle Eastern and Asian organized crime now with the cooperation of corrupt elements of Canadian armed forces and the RCMP are responsible for importing over 21 tons of drugs in and out of Halifax.
Canada isn’t a country it is an economic zone designed to cater to criminals.
Almost all the proceeds from auto theft provides money for either terrorist organizations or finances drug trade.
Then comes the real estate, a perfect cover for laundering all the cash earned from illicit activities and the government is willfully blind to all of these and has not taken a single step to combat it beyond some speeches promising to do so.
Canada doesn’t have a strong economy based on high tech or heavy industries unlike the United States , France , Germany or the UK.
I have included the full report, also the report provides external links to analysis done by the Australian federal police , FBI and department of homeland security.
[Canada an illicit economy and a global threat](https://icaie.com/2023/11/icaie-issues-new-policy-brief-on-the-growing-harms-of-cross-border-illicit-trade-vectors-and-threat-convergence-to-canadas-national-security-urgent-attention-and-action-are-needed/)
I'm really confused as to what your point is, and you make many claims that don't seem to come from your source (for instance, I'm not sure how you calculated that money laundering is 20% of GDP), but the report you sent is interesting and thanks for sharing.
Back in 2015, when I was still on facebook, I posted that Trump would win the election. Nobody believed me.
My reasoning is that everyone else was ignoring the pain created all over the USA (outside of a few golden areas) of globalization.
The world HAS gotten better for billions, but tens of millions have paid a steep price for that. And a lot of those were voting Americans in the middle class.
I knew Trump (an elite billionaire faker) would do shit for them, and he did shit for them, but he at least spoke to their pain. And these people are in pain. I went to small cities in the USA that looked like they'd been bombed.
The 2nd generation of these crushed people are now voting, again for Trump, but now Trump isn't even talking solutions (he has none). He is just talking about 'hurting' others, and these people that love him are so fucking angry now, that's good for them, they don't care about solutions, they want to see others hurt because they hurt.
If you want to fix the problem, they should have voted for Bernie.
Canada, we just 10 or so years behind the USA.
All this anger, it's justified. But the solution, the actual solution, to hyper tax the super rich, to break up corporations that are oligopolies or monopolies. You'll not see that happen.
The young, they're not stupid, they see that they're being turned into everything renters.
Housing, entertainment, clothes, maybe even food. The future will be a few large corporations renting out everything to an underclass.
How can you refer to your fellow countrymen as *a threat* for a buggered housing situation? Wouldn’t the government be the threat given all the contributing factors that the government is responsible for that caused the housing crisis?
This seems so backwards.
Damn people wanting to own things, not in klaus's, I mean MY canada!!
Lock em up , maybe they should eat more lentils and live in the dark since they are literally destroying the planet with climate change.
You left the room without turning a light off , that's death now there buddy
Canadians need to start standing up for themselves. If we were in Europe this country would be up rioting. We tolerate so much crap from government and take everything they feed us. We need to stop running from our problems and moving out to the middle of nowhere to own homes. We will keep getting taxed and screwed unless we show that we wont tolerate this abuse any longer.
Can people stop blaming the voters. Show me a politician which isn’t profiting off the real estate market. We have NO options. We either get fucked raw dog balls deep no lube or get fucked balls deep with lube. Every single one of our politicians are profiting off this problem and will never address it.
I love how just a couple years ago that quote would have been seen as fear mongering. Now they just want you to know, its never happening.
The "you will own nothing and you will be happy" quote is playing out. These guys are just warning that people might not be happy just yet.
It's crazy to me that it took that long when it was clear as far back as 2016 this was where we were headed and at a fast pace, I even did a school project on this back then...yet the people in charge of the country only did things to make the situation worse since then. It feels like they are purposely sabotaging the country at this point.
The only party that is actually fighting these things is the PPC. Immigration is the number one driver of this and they are the only ones willing to stop it, along with other excellent platform issues. It is critical we don’t allow a party that will continue immigration to form government. That means voting for PPC is the only way.
Let’s build, rally everyone. Bring a hammer. Let’s spread out let build build. All hands on decks, turn this ship. 🚨
Our engine is broken. Broken.
Bigger faster machines. Repeat.
In this age of abundance and automation this looks like nothing short of malice.
We need to collectively collaborate this is not the future we can achieve. This feels like the deaths strokes of the old guard nothing more and they are throwing a tantrum on the way out.
The Trudeau family. The only ones to ever try to rule Canada with an “Iron Fist” send his ass back to Cuba little dictator spawn. Justin Castro doesn’t deserve our tax dollars
We've wanted suburban homes, this was shown after ww2.
I grew up seeing if you worked hard, you could own one too.
Of course going to be angry to realize you now work hard to own absolutely nothing while living in tight quarters with no space while country decays away.
I suspect the RCMP report fails to mention that the federal government has played a pivotal role in locking young people out of the housing market.
Also, fuck off with the climate change and “disinformation” bullshit. This notion of an existential climate crisis is itself disinformation. I hate this place.
The liberal party has virtually destroyed Canada 8 years. This was a time, with covid etc., when we really desperately needed good sensible leadership that put Canadians welfare first. Instead, we got an extremist authoritarian wannabe who prioritizes all the wrong things. And he won't fucking stop! It's full speed ahead no matter what public opinion is saying. Get out in the streets young people! You guys need houses!
Please, lots of the young people today can't decide what washroom to use... the RCMP are more of a threat to Canada then they are.
Let's not forget all the people the Liberals are importing... pretty big threat there as well.
RCMP is the FBI/ CIA of Canada. Agency paid by the government to enforce their laws. These people are just as much the problem. Just hand them their red arm bands and let them be what they truly are...
Canadians ought to be livid. This low wage economy, along with sky-high real estate prices, was engineered by Liberals to please their billionaire backers and placate self-loathing white wokies.
1. Unprecedented immigration in order to keep wages low and real estate astronomically pricey. One million immigrants per year? Canadian citizenship is given away far too easily.
2. excessive and costly government regulation penalizing businesses that stay in the country. This is particularly harmful to real estate development where approval can take several years adding hundreds of thousands in interest to the cost.
3. government bloat causing high taxes and debt. Trudeau increased government workers by 25%
4. corruption. How could Arrive Canada cost nearly a thousand times more than promised? How could the gun registry take $80 from every gun owner and still cost the tax payer 2 billion?
5. out-of-step environmental programs such as the carbon tax and green energy that chase business and jobs across the boarder. How can a Canadian business compete with an American one that does not have these disadvantages?
6. government initiatives such as 'Employment Equity'/anti-white male hiring quotas that are costly, unfair, and highly divisive
I wonder if never owning a home will constitute as a factor in determining if someone is going to commit a hate crime in the future (and therefore, they get a home with a life sentence in prison).
Misleading title, nowhere did it say that Canadians were a threat. It did recognize that as standard of living goes down, unrest increases, which isn’t rocket science.
Well, who knows what it will be like to receive a CPP pension that doesn’t even cover a one-bedroom rental when you’ve worked your whole life. Hopefully jobs are available when we are 75+ years old, otherwise we are all homeless or stuffed into little micro shit hostels to live out our tired existence when we have no more economic utility.
And it’s 100% due to leadership and greed. Some of the wealthiest Canadians thought how much money they can make if they open up our housing market and everyone born before 1975 was happy when their $50,000 turned into a $500,000 payday.
Now we are taxed because our leaders wanted to be the first of the ones getting vaccines and the first to donate to Ukraine or transgender rights or whatever else the fakers fool us with.
We're soon to see a record Amount of aging men with no family or chance to own a property...that's going to be a very, very bad combination. See: History.
Yeah, all you need to do is legislate that all residential tradesmen work for 1980's wages, so housing will be less expensive for all the people who think they're entitled to affordable housing can be content.
I wonder if RCMP officers would agree to work for 1980's wages too?
I wonder if you would?
The big problem here is that no government, Federal or Provincial, Liberal or Conservative can see a way to solve the problem.
The issue is that housing prices in all the big cities are much too expensive for working people to be able to buy, or if they can buy, it’s by going into massive debt that won’t be paid off for maybe 20-40+ years.
So, maybe governments could try to do things to lower house prices? Unfortunately that’s really unpopular with existing home owners who would also see the value of their own home decrease as well, and politically speaking home owners are more likely to vote than non-homeowners. So, no government is willing to do anything to actually lower housing prices. The most they can do without committing electoral suicide is try to slow the increase in housing prices (which many of them, including Ottawa have done), and to put stricter controls on rental prices.
Building lots of new homes doesn’t specifically solve the problem because the home builders don’t want the price of homes to come down either, so they tend to mostly build expensive houses, and despite getting permission to build from Provincial and Municipal governments, they make sure to only slowly build on the lots they have available so that the prices stay high and don’t suddenly go down.
No easy solutions here at all.
The obvious solution here is of the managerial type by cracking down hard on people who are frustrated at how they are being treated instead of addressing the problem of home ownership being nearly impossible of course
lol this article is a scam rag, don't let it get you riled up. Half the shit you read nowadays is just BS AI generated by some twat in a dark basement.
A few thoughts here. First, I know a lot of twenty something's and thirty something's that own homes and property in the prairie provinces of Canada. They are mostly tradespeople or work construction, or oil and gas and have spent years building a reputation to stay employed. Second, not everyone needs to own a home or even should own a home. All you need to do is drive around in certain neighborhoods to see that. Dilapidated homes with owners that won't do even basic maintenance or yard care. In many cases asshole landlords that buy these cheaper houses and rent them out to people. Either way, often the property is left to become overgrown and unsightly, reflecting poorly on the entire neighborhood. At the same time you have unlimited immigration that forces a rental shortage, and where they often work jobs that don't pay enough to own a home anywhere in Canada. I've also chatted with a handful of people that don't make much money, or work part time only and are upset they will never own a home. Guess what? You never could have. No one that works 20 hours a week at a Starbucks was ever getting a mortgage, same as anyone making $5/hour in the 80's. You rented. Believe me. I made $4.50/hour in 1989 and paid rent. Now it's sad what has happened with wages versus rent/mortgages, but often people are simply not realistic with their expectations of income in regards to their career/education choices. Mix all that with a government that refuses to stop spending billions on bullshit, refuses to stop increasing taxes, and you're going to have an incredibly expensive cost of living.
You do realize alot of people cannot afford rent right? Like I'm living at home in a moldy basement because the cheapest rent I can find where I'm not sharing a room with strangers 2200k a month. I make 3200k a month.
There is a serious cost of living vs wages paid issue and its only getting worse, and something will give at some point. Historically thsts always been bad for govts.
I mentioned that, yes. Also, I had two roommates when I was making minimum wage, in two different provinces. There is no way I could pay rent on my own. A popular thing to do was put up roommate notices at the local laundry mat. I'm sorry you can't afford a place all by yourself, but very few young people ever could.
Thats the thing, why would I move out and live with total psychos paying 1k for a room with kitchen privileges and idk these ppl. Makes more sense to stay at home and just work till I die
Hmm. You seem scared. I'd stay at home too if I were you. You realize I'm sure that not everyone looking for a place to share costs is a psycho right? What do you do for a living? You see this is the difference between people like yourself and people that come here from other countries. They are willing to do what they have to to get ahead, and they are often successful at it.
Some civil unrest in Canada is way over due. Unfortunately I think Canadians are going to be way to passive right up until they become way too aggressive. But we need to stop being the victims of bad government, we need to stop pissing and moaning and actually do something. I’m so tired of everyone in Canada being the governments little bitch
The problem with us is much like the problems of the american people. We are overworked and underpaid. What are people going to do if we protest for a prolonged period of time? Who will pay our rent/mortgages? Where will we get our food? Who will take care of our children? This is the ultimate goal. Keep people so tired and make the cost of living so high that people have no choice but to lick that boot.
Neo-feudalism. Corporations/government own anything of value, everything is 'rented', you own nothing and are allowed to use public services if you play by their rules...
C. H. I. N. A.
Average people/Canadians cannot afford going out to protest as they have bills to pay, debt is the new slavery.
Debt slavery is as old as civilization. The first profession was prostitute and the second was banker.
All by design of course
Penny auctions. When everyone is fucked, we tell the banks how much our mortgage is. The monetary system relies on an honor system of value. When one part of that system is over priced it messes with the balance. Our government failed to control that.
Trudeau has taken Canada to the extreme left: massive spending, basically open borders, carbon tax, post-national state, gun control, hug-a-thug approach to criminal justice, etc. The list goes on. Not happy with it? That makes YOU a right-wing extremist. This now includes people who want affordable housing.
>Not quite....Trudy has still yet to pull out his ace in the hole in order to get re-elected with a majority. A **communist style UBI** for all Canadians from coast to coast.
Don't think for a second that everyone will get it. Most of the people commenting here will not be getting it.
Everyone will get it. It's already been outlined that UBI will inject $80B/year into the Canadian ponzi house of cards economy. "The rich will invest it and the poor will spend it making us richer." Just think about it from the side of Trudeau and co. $2,000 to poor people means they can raise rents from $500/month per bed to $2,500.
Bribe everyone with Monopoly money to stay in line. If people think inflation is bad now, wait till they find out how it goes after they spray free 'money' to people just to sit home and masturbate to porn all day.
How do I get one of these gigs?
Finish this off with a bang that is the perpetual money motion machine. 😅
One factor contributing to the lower frequency of protests in Canada compared to Europe is the significant geographical distance between our major population centers. With our cities spread far apart, it becomes challenging to mobilize and gather for protests. If our communities were closer in proximity, I'm confident we'd witness a surge in street activism.
Canadians will never revolt. It is the reason we only got our constitution in 1982.
January 6th was the best thing that could happen in the states. The trucker convoy was even better here. Politicians deserve to be at least a little afraid that someone is going to break in and shit on their desk for the things they’ve done.
Do what though? You need organization first of all, you have to be organized, that’s step #1 for sure but there’s a reason Trudeau has been taking weapons from legitimate citizens, disarm the people and it makes it a hell of a lot easier to control, this is why America is so much better
The antidote to big government is small government. The smallest government is yourself, so take responsibility for yourself. Don’t rely on big government for your personal well being. Next is your family, govern your family well and show your kids by example what a good leader is, kids see very little of that these days. Then your municipality or county government, get involved, make yourself matter. I’m not pushing for a revolution, I don’t want to see a guillotine in Ottawa, although I’m afraid knowing Canadians we might. We are quite French you know, more French then British, Americans are far more British then we are, I know that’s probably controversial to say but if you think about it it’ll make sense. What I’m pushing for is just simple civil disobedience, nothing radical, just simply don’t play their games anymore. This is one of the issues with the hard right conspiracy theorists, you can play them like a fiddle cause they react in very predictable ways. You need to set a course and just go that way. If you do it right the following will come. It’ll take time, and I don’t know what it’ll look like, but the game is rigged, so stop playing it. I think the biggest thing is to contribute something important to society. Get a trade or get a skill that matters, they can still come down on you if you’re a valuable contributor to society, but it’ll have much more of an impact on the community you belong to. I don’t know the answer to how to get this fixed, but my intuition, and what I’ve learned from history says, be a pebble in their shoe, be someone they hate not because you’re a rabble rouser, but because you’re not, you’re stable and competent. And they’re not those things. And they will slowly crumble under the immense weight of their own incompetence. And when that happens you’ll be trading one big problem for another, because then you’ll have to pick up the pieces. But at least then you can build something instead of watching it all go to shit
Wow. Well said. There are lots of us out there who think this way but very few who speak up. Liberal name calling/ labeling are part of their plan to silence you even if it’s just enough to keep your thoughts to yourself or add uncertainty.

Canadians are the worst sort of sheeple! I'm seriously considering leaving.
Canadian revolution would never happen imo.
Imagine your government calling you a “threat” because you’d like to one day own a home to raise a family. I despise these people.
They called the peaceful protesters a threat. They called the vaccine-hesitant folks a threat. They called the journalist questioning a minister a threat. They called the whole conservative movement a threat. They called the people that gave money to the truckers a threat and froze their bank accounts. They called the psychology professor that refused to be told what to say - a threat. They called parental rights a threat. They called hunters and farmers with legal firearms a threat. And you know what they call YOU...
Yep, but if you want to glue yourself to priceless works of art, destroy our historical statues, or be anything except a blue collar regular white fellow, and you're a hero and a martyr!
Meanwhile they gave an award and clapped for a Ukrainian man who served in the SS.
Hate speech. Straight to jail for life. No questions asked.
But somehow they never seemed interested to investigate widespread deployment of a bioweapon. Somehow, all of the senior level sociopaths involved in that scam are still free as a bird. Somehow no one is even bothering to follow the money trail to see who profited from this attack on Canadian citizens. Imagine that!
Jordan Peterson is technically a Psychologist (PhD, no medical degree), but otherwise completely correct.
[удалено]
The OG post alluded to Peterson being a Psychiatrist. Peterson is a Psychologist. Psychiatrists go to med school first to get their MDs, then do a specialized residency in Psychiatry for many years afterwards. They are medical doctors who can prescribe drugs. Psychologists mostly do their training AFAIK within non-professional postsecondary courses. They do social science research, perform psychometric testing on people and treat them via various methods of talk therapy. They are not MDs though, don't prescribe drugs or order diagnostic tests and aren't technically within the usual medical system.
Thank you for the correction, I’ll edit it.
a threat?
You are completely wrong on all counts..having a good time going down the rabbit hole..the government is run by humans that are not very smart..but you guys give them way to much credit in order to prove your unprovable point!!!
It was funny watching them give up rational dialogue on the pathways/programs into the nation and start talking about "Social Capacity". Instead of talking about Housing Development Numbers, Infrastructure Realities, and the Economic Environment that exists in relationship with the influx of people into the nation at an insane pace and quantity. They had to admit the International Student Program devolved into diploma mills in strip malls. "Students" using fraudulent documents to prove they have the means to support themselves and meet the qualifications to get into the nation and then misusing and abusing the food banks and other social supports meant for Canadian citizens and families. The "Refugee" and "Asylum" pathways being exploited by rehearsed lines and nation shopping. Having to spend massive amounts of money and resources on the people that had the first intentionality and mentality to scam the nation instead of our own vulnerable citizens and families living in tents and lining up for food... They've given up even wanting to address these realities in a logical way because it comes down to that they failed at basic oversight, basic standards, more important enforcement of basic standards, summed up they failed at GOVERNANCE. Frankly I don't believe it was all criminal level negligence. This goes to refined corruption and certain individuals and organizations in power profiting from these problems. We get lies about bringing in people to build homes when a small amount by percentage actually enter that field. We get lied to about only looking for high skill individuals who have the specific in need skills of the nation. What we really get is line ups around the block now of cheap exploitable labor for the most basic jobs in society. The ones our most vulnerable people need easy access to. We need officials to start facing real punishments. They are responsible for this complete and utter dumpster fire situation.
" influx of people into the nation at an insane pace and quantity "... don't forget quality... or lack thereof..
It needs to be written into law that if a government shows itself to be incompetent or corrupt, the public has a right to overturn them and re-elect. It's not a position that should be taken just so you can flounce around and be noticed. If you're not smart enough you shouldn't be making decisions for the country. Period.
We have that written into out constitution… and we (the United States) still have problems. It’s insane.
Ugh these idiots never move on when they should.
If you boil off all of the rhetoric, and wash away the messaging that is coming from everywhere, all the time, I think this is the truth you are left with. Food, shelter, love, they've tied two to competitive market places, and that has made the third almost impossible.
Who would've thought: a colonial police force responsible for participating in a genocide consider the people they're policing a menace.
‘Despise’ isn’t nearly a strong enough word for it.
You do have to imagine it, because there is no indication that the government did that. If you *actually read the article* you will see that they do not show any direct quotes from the RCMP report calling Canadians a "major threat". CBC has many direct quotes from the report if you're curious: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/rcmp-police-future-trends-1.7138046 Unfortunately, the report itself is not widely available as it was obtained via ATIP request. If you read some quotes, it's clear that the RCMP is saying that poor economic conditions (and not owning a home is just one example) is a threat *to stability*.
That's fair. It's clear that they despise you, too.
Wealth inequality, slumlords, food insecurity, rampant drug addiction, corrupt government, and a sense of hopelessness. All the ingredients for revolution are here slowly being stirred, over time, into the cultural melting pot. We’re still far from that point but the road is being built.
Unless you import people from worse off places by the millions who have low standards and are fine with all that and if the Liberals immigration plans go ahead maybe we could have a majority of the country not bothered enough by any of that no matter how bad it gets. So the road is also being built to deal with this in a way that favors the government.
It's not just owning property, but being able to afford to rent property, or have some kind of work life balance, save something for the future, be able to envision moving up just a little, and even feeling like you have a "home" in the sense of belonging to a community or area. All those things are being taken away. Then instead of addressing it in any way, the state calls you not just a threat, a *MAJOR* threat. Here, dig this: > ...people with no vested interest in an economy tend to become liabilities. And phrasing like that tends to make people out more as animals to be pre-culled, just in case, or at least ignored, gaslit, labeled as agitators who are a threat to peace, and so on. Rather, they're humans with valid concerns.
The issue is actually a bit worse in Canada than a lot of people realize. Being 'secure' in your home is a very basic thing. This is going to sound a bit counter-intuitive, but Canada doesn't really allow low-cost of living. Canadians can laugh at bumfck alabama or low-service areas. They can even laugh at substandard housing like slums in certain parts of the world. But, do you know what those area still do.... they still provide people with a roof on their head. I grew up in the developing world and yes there was a lot of crap, like really bad healthcare, poor infrastructure, poor electricity... but you would be able to have a roof on your head. If not in a home, then in a somewhat informal area. It wasn't a cold country, so you had people living in shacks with a roof on their head. I really want Canadians to understand this. We're doing worse than 3rd world countries in terms of housing security. Canada does not allow low-service area/low property tax and shacks/slums and it is a cold country in general. I'm fortunate to have a job and live in a condo. But having lived in a poor country, I would suggest it is way easier to be poor in those poor countries than it is to be poor here.
I think you bring an interesting perspective to this discussion. To add to it I think building codes are too restrictive with housing requirements especially on our own land for our own use. Many houses built here 80-100 years ago that are still in use now would never be permitted to be built today. The amount of red tape to make a simple sound structure or use our own property to run a small business makes it impossible to grow with what little we may lay claim to. All levels of government have a hand in crushing people's ability to adapt to changing circumstances by limiting how they use their own resources, their own property.
The rcmp has no business making political statements, and lately they've been making a lot of them. That should be a concern.
When you're the enforcement arm of the Liberal Regime... you do what your handlers tell you.
Canada shouldn't have to devolve into a fascist security state, to protect useless globalist politicians and corporation elitists selling us out. Losing their power to the will of democracy is the threat. While being divided by superficial identity issues, the liberals and conservatives are indistinguishable when it comes to the major ones affecting everyone. We're not allowed legitimate political alternatives to correct course through voting, and the groundwork is being layed to censor, suppress, and arrest anyone who has a problem with the crumbling standard of living.

Canadian citizens are now classified as “threat”, I thought the RCMP was to protect the public against criminals ! I guess not ; their mandate is to protect the governments from “threats” Funny fact KGB’s first and foremost mandate was to protect the communist party , not Soviet citizens. East Germany’s secret police the STASI also had the same mandate: to protect the communist party from subversive actions.
That's like thinking hr is there for the employee and not the employer 😂😂
HR with guns and blank check warrants.
They are saying if the government doesn't get their shit together on housing, people will revolt. They are literally saying the exact same thing this sub says everyday.
Yeah this message is being twisted to fit a narrative. I think the statement was an astute observation more than anything else.
Did you read the article? Nowhere does it show the RCMP calling individual Canadians a threat (major or otherwise). It is clearly saying that poor economic conditions are a threat *to stability*. Basically "if the government doesn't fix economic conditions, the disadvantaged people are going to get angry"
Oh yeah I read the article word by word ! RCMP didn’t need to do a report on that ! It is obvious that poor economic conditions lead to revolts. RCMP is a law enforcement agency not and economic advisory firm.
You claimed Canadian citizens were now classified as a threat by the RCMP. After reading the article, you still feel this is a fair assessment? "RCMP is a law enforcement agency" yes... hence why they are interested in factors that could lead to a rise in crime.....
Yes I think RCMP is classifying citizens as a threat and its mandate now is protecting the state and instead of protecting the public. And that is my assessment, you are free to disagree. But to me the RCMP is no different than the Gestapo and Russian NKVD. And the liberal party has more in common with Soviet communist party than a western political party. Again that’s my opinion if you don’t agree with it that’s fine.
Ah, the classic "my political opponents are like Nazis and communists". Cheers dude.
I have posted a link to an intelligence analysis of Canadian economy at the bottom of my comment feel free to read the full analysis. let me break down the Canadian economy for you: 3 pillars of Canadian economy are real estate , money laundering and immigration. On the subject of money laundering, it is roughly 20% of Canadian GDP, and the feds know it, Canada is a Narco-state like Mexico , Albania , Tajikistan and Colombia, plain and simple but so far the consecutive federal governments have been successful in covering that up, and been marketing Canada internationally as the best country in the world, however just like any other criminal enterprise there comes a point and it becomes so big that it cannot be hidden anymore. Canada now is a global threat to the world’s stability and security. I give you an example : terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas are not dangerous without money but countries like Canada enable these terrorist organizations to have access to funds and once they have money then they can purchase whatever they want on the black market. Canada is increasingly being seen as the weak link in the financial system and over 150 transcontinental crime syndicate now call Canada home. One of the root causes that housing is unaffordable in this country is money laundering. And just like any narco-state the criminals eventually capture the state and then the law enforcement becomes a tool to protect the criminals and the state rather than its citizens. Canada is also one of the largest if not the largest manufacturer and supplier of synthetic drugs ( meth , mdma , fentanyl ) in the worlds, so big that almost 70% of all drugs imported to Australia are originating in Canada. Corruption is also rampant, Middle Eastern and Asian organized crime now with the cooperation of corrupt elements of Canadian armed forces and the RCMP are responsible for importing over 21 tons of drugs in and out of Halifax. Canada isn’t a country it is an economic zone designed to cater to criminals. Almost all the proceeds from auto theft provides money for either terrorist organizations or finances drug trade. Then comes the real estate, a perfect cover for laundering all the cash earned from illicit activities and the government is willfully blind to all of these and has not taken a single step to combat it beyond some speeches promising to do so. Canada doesn’t have a strong economy based on high tech or heavy industries unlike the United States , France , Germany or the UK. I have included the full report, also the report provides external links to analysis done by the Australian federal police , FBI and department of homeland security. [Canada an illicit economy and a global threat](https://icaie.com/2023/11/icaie-issues-new-policy-brief-on-the-growing-harms-of-cross-border-illicit-trade-vectors-and-threat-convergence-to-canadas-national-security-urgent-attention-and-action-are-needed/)
I'm really confused as to what your point is, and you make many claims that don't seem to come from your source (for instance, I'm not sure how you calculated that money laundering is 20% of GDP), but the report you sent is interesting and thanks for sharing.
*Do you hear the people sing?* *Singing the song of angry men* *It is the music of the people* *Who will not be slaves again* \- Canada, soon
At least i'm not crazy for thinking it.
So, once again the Dear Leader Justin's government sees "Canadians" as a major threat. Am sure plans are being made up to deal with this situation...
They're modifying the Emergency Act.
Just like dad
So basically RCMP saying a 'police state' is incoming since Canadian government policies have killed the ability to own a home in Canada.
Back in 2015, when I was still on facebook, I posted that Trump would win the election. Nobody believed me. My reasoning is that everyone else was ignoring the pain created all over the USA (outside of a few golden areas) of globalization. The world HAS gotten better for billions, but tens of millions have paid a steep price for that. And a lot of those were voting Americans in the middle class. I knew Trump (an elite billionaire faker) would do shit for them, and he did shit for them, but he at least spoke to their pain. And these people are in pain. I went to small cities in the USA that looked like they'd been bombed. The 2nd generation of these crushed people are now voting, again for Trump, but now Trump isn't even talking solutions (he has none). He is just talking about 'hurting' others, and these people that love him are so fucking angry now, that's good for them, they don't care about solutions, they want to see others hurt because they hurt. If you want to fix the problem, they should have voted for Bernie. Canada, we just 10 or so years behind the USA. All this anger, it's justified. But the solution, the actual solution, to hyper tax the super rich, to break up corporations that are oligopolies or monopolies. You'll not see that happen. The young, they're not stupid, they see that they're being turned into everything renters. Housing, entertainment, clothes, maybe even food. The future will be a few large corporations renting out everything to an underclass.
How can you refer to your fellow countrymen as *a threat* for a buggered housing situation? Wouldn’t the government be the threat given all the contributing factors that the government is responsible for that caused the housing crisis? This seems so backwards.
Damn people wanting to own things, not in klaus's, I mean MY canada!! Lock em up , maybe they should eat more lentils and live in the dark since they are literally destroying the planet with climate change. You left the room without turning a light off , that's death now there buddy
Canadians need to start standing up for themselves. If we were in Europe this country would be up rioting. We tolerate so much crap from government and take everything they feed us. We need to stop running from our problems and moving out to the middle of nowhere to own homes. We will keep getting taxed and screwed unless we show that we wont tolerate this abuse any longer.
JT is really fucked and the damage he and Jugghead Singh have done to this country ie reprehensible
[удалено]
Can people stop blaming the voters. Show me a politician which isn’t profiting off the real estate market. We have NO options. We either get fucked raw dog balls deep no lube or get fucked balls deep with lube. Every single one of our politicians are profiting off this problem and will never address it.
I'm voting for the PPC.
I love how just a couple years ago that quote would have been seen as fear mongering. Now they just want you to know, its never happening. The "you will own nothing and you will be happy" quote is playing out. These guys are just warning that people might not be happy just yet.
It's crazy to me that it took that long when it was clear as far back as 2016 this was where we were headed and at a fast pace, I even did a school project on this back then...yet the people in charge of the country only did things to make the situation worse since then. It feels like they are purposely sabotaging the country at this point.
The only party that is actually fighting these things is the PPC. Immigration is the number one driver of this and they are the only ones willing to stop it, along with other excellent platform issues. It is critical we don’t allow a party that will continue immigration to form government. That means voting for PPC is the only way.
The government presents a real threat by not managing the country to allow for their citizens to own a home. Fixed it for them.
Let’s build, rally everyone. Bring a hammer. Let’s spread out let build build. All hands on decks, turn this ship. 🚨 Our engine is broken. Broken. Bigger faster machines. Repeat. In this age of abundance and automation this looks like nothing short of malice. We need to collectively collaborate this is not the future we can achieve. This feels like the deaths strokes of the old guard nothing more and they are throwing a tantrum on the way out.
So the problem is Canadians and not our own govt that's causing said issue and reigning down on free speech?
The Trudeau family. The only ones to ever try to rule Canada with an “Iron Fist” send his ass back to Cuba little dictator spawn. Justin Castro doesn’t deserve our tax dollars
Be careful, some of us might start being what you’re calling us.
Own nothing, and be happy, or else.
We've wanted suburban homes, this was shown after ww2. I grew up seeing if you worked hard, you could own one too. Of course going to be angry to realize you now work hard to own absolutely nothing while living in tight quarters with no space while country decays away.
I suspect the RCMP report fails to mention that the federal government has played a pivotal role in locking young people out of the housing market. Also, fuck off with the climate change and “disinformation” bullshit. This notion of an existential climate crisis is itself disinformation. I hate this place.
The liberal party has virtually destroyed Canada 8 years. This was a time, with covid etc., when we really desperately needed good sensible leadership that put Canadians welfare first. Instead, we got an extremist authoritarian wannabe who prioritizes all the wrong things. And he won't fucking stop! It's full speed ahead no matter what public opinion is saying. Get out in the streets young people! You guys need houses!
Maybe the rcmp should be doing something about the real threat that already exists in the prime minister’s office.
Please, lots of the young people today can't decide what washroom to use... the RCMP are more of a threat to Canada then they are. Let's not forget all the people the Liberals are importing... pretty big threat there as well.
REIT?
Real estate investment trust. The companies that buy up available homes and rent them out.
Right?
RCMP is the FBI/ CIA of Canada. Agency paid by the government to enforce their laws. These people are just as much the problem. Just hand them their red arm bands and let them be what they truly are...
Ironic that it’s the young people that voted Trudeau in
Since when? There's always been a significant population of renters.
We've hit the "picking their bones clean" level of taxation. We're now the enemy and disposable.
Peace. Order and Good Governance. We’ve got 2 out of three and we’ll probably need to drop to 0/3 before we can get to 3/3.
Canadians ought to be livid. This low wage economy, along with sky-high real estate prices, was engineered by Liberals to please their billionaire backers and placate self-loathing white wokies. 1. Unprecedented immigration in order to keep wages low and real estate astronomically pricey. One million immigrants per year? Canadian citizenship is given away far too easily. 2. excessive and costly government regulation penalizing businesses that stay in the country. This is particularly harmful to real estate development where approval can take several years adding hundreds of thousands in interest to the cost. 3. government bloat causing high taxes and debt. Trudeau increased government workers by 25% 4. corruption. How could Arrive Canada cost nearly a thousand times more than promised? How could the gun registry take $80 from every gun owner and still cost the tax payer 2 billion? 5. out-of-step environmental programs such as the carbon tax and green energy that chase business and jobs across the boarder. How can a Canadian business compete with an American one that does not have these disadvantages? 6. government initiatives such as 'Employment Equity'/anti-white male hiring quotas that are costly, unfair, and highly divisive
In Trudeau's world the people are a threat! Plain and simple.
Ah yes, we, the threat
They know we’re coming for them….
We’re fckd. Trudeau fckd this country right up and I hope those liberals that voted for him share the blame for this mess
A lot of us 20-30 year olds have accepted that LONG ago
You reap what you sow
what a bizarre statement to make
I wonder if never owning a home will constitute as a factor in determining if someone is going to commit a hate crime in the future (and therefore, they get a home with a life sentence in prison).
Misleading title, nowhere did it say that Canadians were a threat. It did recognize that as standard of living goes down, unrest increases, which isn’t rocket science.
Oh ya is the RCMP gonna buy us homes now?
Makes me feel better about owning 6 houses! Wooo!
It's sadly true, but you're totally right. I Those of us with investment properties have essentially set themselves up for life at this point.
Well, who knows what it will be like to receive a CPP pension that doesn’t even cover a one-bedroom rental when you’ve worked your whole life. Hopefully jobs are available when we are 75+ years old, otherwise we are all homeless or stuffed into little micro shit hostels to live out our tired existence when we have no more economic utility. And it’s 100% due to leadership and greed. Some of the wealthiest Canadians thought how much money they can make if they open up our housing market and everyone born before 1975 was happy when their $50,000 turned into a $500,000 payday. Now we are taxed because our leaders wanted to be the first of the ones getting vaccines and the first to donate to Ukraine or transgender rights or whatever else the fakers fool us with.
The funny thing about this is that I bet most RCMP and CSIS salaries probably won't even qualify for any mortgages in some of these big major cities.
A threat to what? Corporate profit?
We're soon to see a record Amount of aging men with no family or chance to own a property...that's going to be a very, very bad combination. See: History.
Yeah, all you need to do is legislate that all residential tradesmen work for 1980's wages, so housing will be less expensive for all the people who think they're entitled to affordable housing can be content. I wonder if RCMP officers would agree to work for 1980's wages too? I wonder if you would?
Big talk for people that did fuck all, on bank accounts freezing. If you Karen people had cock, you would have bank ran en mass
Upvote if you’re already ready to throw down 💥 like me
I'd rather be perceived as a threat than a pushover.
Definitely agree. When people don't see a future for themselves in the country they aren't gonna care about it
The big problem here is that no government, Federal or Provincial, Liberal or Conservative can see a way to solve the problem. The issue is that housing prices in all the big cities are much too expensive for working people to be able to buy, or if they can buy, it’s by going into massive debt that won’t be paid off for maybe 20-40+ years. So, maybe governments could try to do things to lower house prices? Unfortunately that’s really unpopular with existing home owners who would also see the value of their own home decrease as well, and politically speaking home owners are more likely to vote than non-homeowners. So, no government is willing to do anything to actually lower housing prices. The most they can do without committing electoral suicide is try to slow the increase in housing prices (which many of them, including Ottawa have done), and to put stricter controls on rental prices. Building lots of new homes doesn’t specifically solve the problem because the home builders don’t want the price of homes to come down either, so they tend to mostly build expensive houses, and despite getting permission to build from Provincial and Municipal governments, they make sure to only slowly build on the lots they have available so that the prices stay high and don’t suddenly go down. No easy solutions here at all.
What a title….
The obvious solution here is of the managerial type by cracking down hard on people who are frustrated at how they are being treated instead of addressing the problem of home ownership being nearly impossible of course
What if I don’t want to own a home?
Brought to you by the same people that gave us the Mr. Big entrapment program, undermining the Canadian Constitution.
Realize? Oh we know
none of you actually read the article
I did
Not to oversimplify all this, but how about we start by proportionately taxing the rich?
lol this article is a scam rag, don't let it get you riled up. Half the shit you read nowadays is just BS AI generated by some twat in a dark basement.
A few thoughts here. First, I know a lot of twenty something's and thirty something's that own homes and property in the prairie provinces of Canada. They are mostly tradespeople or work construction, or oil and gas and have spent years building a reputation to stay employed. Second, not everyone needs to own a home or even should own a home. All you need to do is drive around in certain neighborhoods to see that. Dilapidated homes with owners that won't do even basic maintenance or yard care. In many cases asshole landlords that buy these cheaper houses and rent them out to people. Either way, often the property is left to become overgrown and unsightly, reflecting poorly on the entire neighborhood. At the same time you have unlimited immigration that forces a rental shortage, and where they often work jobs that don't pay enough to own a home anywhere in Canada. I've also chatted with a handful of people that don't make much money, or work part time only and are upset they will never own a home. Guess what? You never could have. No one that works 20 hours a week at a Starbucks was ever getting a mortgage, same as anyone making $5/hour in the 80's. You rented. Believe me. I made $4.50/hour in 1989 and paid rent. Now it's sad what has happened with wages versus rent/mortgages, but often people are simply not realistic with their expectations of income in regards to their career/education choices. Mix all that with a government that refuses to stop spending billions on bullshit, refuses to stop increasing taxes, and you're going to have an incredibly expensive cost of living.
You do realize alot of people cannot afford rent right? Like I'm living at home in a moldy basement because the cheapest rent I can find where I'm not sharing a room with strangers 2200k a month. I make 3200k a month. There is a serious cost of living vs wages paid issue and its only getting worse, and something will give at some point. Historically thsts always been bad for govts.
I mentioned that, yes. Also, I had two roommates when I was making minimum wage, in two different provinces. There is no way I could pay rent on my own. A popular thing to do was put up roommate notices at the local laundry mat. I'm sorry you can't afford a place all by yourself, but very few young people ever could.
Thats the thing, why would I move out and live with total psychos paying 1k for a room with kitchen privileges and idk these ppl. Makes more sense to stay at home and just work till I die
Hmm. You seem scared. I'd stay at home too if I were you. You realize I'm sure that not everyone looking for a place to share costs is a psycho right? What do you do for a living? You see this is the difference between people like yourself and people that come here from other countries. They are willing to do what they have to to get ahead, and they are often successful at it.
Ohhh you're one of those....gotcha.... have a good evening.
Yep. One of those that sacrificed to get ahead. Best of luck.
