Now I’m even less likely to watch the video. Panned over to 12:38. That is a pretty egregious error. Either they are incompetent and their opinions aren’t too valuable, or intentionally trying to mislead the now over 1.4million people who have watched that video. This seems like they tried to cherry pick a stat that bodes in favour of their argument and biffed it. Lots of people are still immigrating to Canada, so definitely far more than “no one” wants to live in Canada. https://www.statista.com/topics/2917/immigration-in-canada/

I see no citations in the video description and I’m not too interested in listening to their argument if they can’t provide those citations up front. The only measure they seem to be appealing to in order to support their claim that “no one wants to live in Canada” is that Canada has lowered in happiness index. But, by that measure Canada is 15th in the world and USA is 23rd. So, if that’s the main reason to think people don’t want to live in Canada, then people really don’t want to live in the USA. On its face, that strikes me as exceptionally untrue.

How’s this for a plan:

1. build high speed rail
2. build more housing (especially single dwelling) that is not corporate owned
3. tax more heavily income from real estate conglomerates to fund 1 and 2

Here’s a transcript to peruse if anyone is interested. Then you can search for keywords to see if they were mentioned, quickly flick through Putin’s rambling and you avoid providing Tucker with a click. Here’s also an archive link if anyone prefers that.

Yes she said that and also many other things in the past that don’t necessarily line up with that sentiment. Even if she does think she is indigenous regardless of her genetics, it seems like one would want to combat the perception that she is a liar. Doing the genetic test shows for sure you have nothing to hide, in my opinion.

It would take some work, but if I were Buffy and 100% confident I was adopted, I would find a DNA sample from my parents (likely a hair on anything they owned, like a brush or clothing) or have one / both of my parents exhumed to take one tiny DNA samples from their body. With a DNA test, the result would be so definitive that anyone who had questioned my ancestry before would at that point shut the fuck up.

Wait, paying the Nazi’s back? Just don’t commemorate them and use that money for a good cause. Or even go ahead and use it towards an anti-Nazi cause. Just seems like worst of all worlds to be giving the Nazi the money now that you already have it.

Don’t care what it’s called. I think what most people just want to know are:

• How effective is it?
• How safe is it?
• What is the risk without taking it?

Maybe skip the semantics

If Toronto tries, learn from Vancouver’s failed trial.

Rookie numbers. 4 day work week?

Interesting. I was thinking that if there were more openness to mixing zoning for housing and commercial then this would make room to put in housing in the dense areas you were talking about.

Out of interest, what impact do you think zoning regulations play in all this? @PeleSpirit, care to comment as well?

Those sound like better ideas to prioritize to me. Besides political machinations, what reasons are there not to implement those types of policies?

It seems to me that increasing supply alone is not going to cut it. Are there not a bunch of financial groups with nearly bottomless wallets that enable them to afford to buy up any amount of property to rent or flip at any price they want, even if it means some properties sit on the market empty for a long time? This government policy seems analogous to having people with $100 dollars sitting at a no-limit poker table with a bunch of billionaires who can afford to endlessly put you all in on every bet, so they always bet more than you have and then the government comes in and says they will allow for more games to be played. Wouldn’t the policy be pointless if you don’t also limit the number of games the wealthy players can play?

Those look promising. It’s tough to dig through all their actions. Since 2018, have any actually been built yet?

Haha good one. But actually, more nuclear power plants need to be built soon.
