Why are you complaining? They are building much needed housing in Canada, aren’t they?? /s

Call it a plan, call it common sense, I don’t care as long as it’s actually being done. So far, there have been lots of talks about this emergency but no real action on the housing front.

No way he waits another year without a trophy, aging to 31, just for a free move to United to have a chance to win something. And Tottenham letting him go for free??

At least with Bayern, that’s a free league cup and competition in Champions league.

I’m sure there’s quite a few politicians that are “concerned” about this situation…

It’s gonna be hard for him to come down from that 350k/week salary, so maybe he’s gonna go to Saudi Arabia like others have?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen rumors of other clubs wanting him while he was at United. So not sure if there is a line at all.

I’ve heard about this before, this is unbelivebly uncompetitive! Sounds like something the Consumer Affairs should look at.

Can’t build wealth when half or more of the income goes towards rent or that 6% 1million mortgage.

Wealth disparity increasing, cost of housing increasing, GDP/capita decreasing, productivity decreasing. This is not the “The Great Reset” that I was envisioning after COVID19. I was dubious of course, but I really thought there’s a chance of more progressive policies. But instead we just have the feds subsidizing electric vehicles tech.

Happy to see the community of those concerned growing. Also surprised to see Remax support the 15-min city, that’s suspicious of them, but nonetheless good to see.

Sounds like you need to write for The Beaverton.

There was plenty of money invested into wars and oil extraction. C’mon!

You’d think somewhere after few years they’d figure it was a bad idea to leave affordable housing building to private sector. But nah, it took 30 years to figure it out. Makes you wonder how long it will take to fix it? We’ll be talking about housing shortages and homelessness for years to come.

Anybody excited about the new simulator?

Gotta say that when Mike says modern UI, I’m not that impressed. Feels like us electrical guys always get some of the worst CAD/sim UI designs compared to mech, civil etc. With few exceptions like Altium which imo has a great modern UI.

The federal government manded in their recent budget that banks do whatever they can to keep people from defaulting.

Plus public transit is no longer packed like sardines. Too bad they are bleeding money when not packed, the gov needs to properly fund transit.

Are these the same guys trying to force federal employees back to the office?

I hope they understand that at very least, hybrid work is here to stay. Adapt to it!

I fully agree with you and it’s encouraging to see things like “Alberta Is calling” campaign. But, I wish the federal goverment would be more involved in spreading the immigrants around our vast land. It feels like all they do is set targets and “job done”…

I’d bet on US having a much more robust and faster recovery than Canada. Their unemployment while slowly increasing, historically is still very low, and I’d guess if you’re in a specialized field immigration to US as a Canadian would be easy. I’m personally contemplating it.

And with bommers retiring I think the labour shortages will be with us for a while.

Land ain’t cheap where most of the immigrants end up going. Canada still offers a better quality of life but that will dimminish over time if housing issue is not addressed.

Shocked Pikachu… Tiff is out there trying to cause a recession and unemployment meanwhile Freeland is boasting about the strong GDP and employment numbers. Makes me wonder if the “soft landing” they’ve been talking about is a multi-year process. Imagine a 3-4% inflation economy for the next 2-3 years.
