1) So what's your issue, if taxpayer money wasn't given to developers? 2) FYI it was the Liberals who caused the bubble that burst on these developers, dummy. Units were sold for what the market would bear. That's capitalism, dumbfack. Are you really that comfortable in your socialist bubble that you're just going after capitalism now? I'll type this really slowly for you so that you can read it: HOMES WERE MORE AFFORDABLE UNDER HARPER. RENTS WERE MORE AFFORDABLE UNDER HARPER. That comes from comparing the rise in rents/prices vs the rise in incomes. The FAILURE AWARD of the last 20 years here in Canada goes directly to the LPoC, and it's not even close. The LPoC made homes and rents less affordable, and they gave taxpayer money to "developers" who you think are evil. It's like the trifecta of sucking, donkey. 😂 That's just basic stupidity. Prices have basically doubled every ten years in the lower mainland since 1950.

SCOTUS: Birthright EO struck down

It's NOT ad hominem, it's appeal to popularity. LMAO -
No, I mean they sold affordable rental units to corporate landlords and developers so they could further profit. When did any liberal government buy market affordable housing units to sell to corporations? Yes, the average house priced increased almost 70% during Harper's term. Funny enough it went up 62% during Trudeaus and people were still buying homes. Go figure... That's all you have, and are... Simple Harper was a failure.... There is a reason the 2015 election was a beat down.

For someone that bîtches and moans about ad hominem attacks, you sure do employ it as a tactic often. In fact, I would guess 90+% of your posts are personal insults. -

Read the whole thing. "Congress could—consistent with the Fourteenth Amendment—amend §1401(a) or otherwise enact new legislation establishing exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to foreign citizens unlawfully or temporarily in the country. But Congress has not yet done so. " And further down: "Consistent with the Fourteenth Amendment, Congress could amend §1401(a) or otherwise enact new legislation establishing exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to foreign citizens unlawfully or temporarily in the country. But Congress has not yet done so. " I am correct. I am always correct. -
How could taxpayer money be used to sell? No, they sold affordable units to landlords and developers who profited from those purchases by taking those units off the market and seeing both rent and home prices further increase with lesser supply. Personally, I think they should have stayed out of it and let the market price find it's own level without the governments assistance, but if they buy at cost or below it's a net positive for rent to own owners, and minimal risk to taxpayers with the mortgage being an asset, not a liability. People in Metro Vancouver or populated areas of BC likely have little sympathy for your ~$375k - $400k average NB home price that has doubled in the last decade. How did Liberals help Liberals here?

You dodged. I'm sure you thought it was clever and that we wouldn't notice but..... -
Ahhh! Well then you're just lying. At no point in time did harper or PP sell off 800 thousand low income housing units. That is a simple lie. Not hard in the slightest. Housing prices were below where they should have been when harper came in, harper turned the economy around and got things: And not surprisingly people started buying homes again. Prices went up. That's expected. Let me use Simple Math that even you can understand. If you consider 100 to be the average normal price in a healthy market, and the price falls to $50 during the crutch end years, then climbs back up to 100, That looks like a 100% increase. Sounds impressive but in reality you're making up for lost ground for the most part However, if you start at 100 and then jump to 150, it only looks like a 50 percent increase but it's now WAAAY above what's affordable. I'm sure you can see the difference. Justin was the second one Not to you apparently Harper was a runaway success and even his opponents generally acknowledge this. He had one of the best economies and best responses to one of the greatest recessions since the 1930s. He did far better than most and his economic policies were groundbreaking at the time. Where other governments have to bail out Industries for the most part he actually found ways to keep the banks afloat while making Canadians money instead of costing them Financially speaking harper was almost without a doubt the best prime minister we have ever had and this is why in poll after poll he tends to score in the top three often at the very top when people ask who was the best prime minister. All you're doing is showing your political ignorance and partisanship when you make stupid statements like that. You can say what you like but the reality is canada did better financially under harper given the circumstances of the time that at any other time in history with any other prime minister in history. We barely felt the recession compared to most people

Have you sought the opinion of any scientists or are you just going with your own feeling? Why, what did you base your choice on - did you try something like this? Scientific consensus is the collective judgment, position, and opinion of the vast majority of active, qualified experts on a conclusion in a specific scientific discipline.[1] Scientific consensus results from the self-correcting scientific process of peer review, replication of the event through the scientific method, scholarly debate, meta-analysis, and publication of high-quality review articles, monographs, or guidelines in reputable books and journals to establish facts and durable knowledge about the topic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_consensus BTW, you won't find any mention of voting on what facts or theories win. That's up to science.

Canada's economy reverses months of slow growth with 0.5% boost in April Canada's economy showed signs of rebounding by growing 0.5 per cent in April, reversing months of slow and negative economic growth. Real gross domestic product is up half a percentage point largely because of growth in the mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction sectors, Statistics Canada said in its latest report, released Tuesday. "The mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction sector rose 2.9 per cent in April, the largest monthly growth rate since February 2024 (+3.2 per cent), more than offsetting March's 1.4 per cent contraction," the agency said in the report. The report comes amid concerns about the state of Canada's economy, as Statistics Canada previously reported that GDP contracted in the first quarter of 2026 and the last quarter of 2025, prompting fears of a "technical recession."The effect of U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods has also been a source of economic anxiety, particularly as the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement review deadline approaches on Wednesday. Statistics Canada reported that oil and gas extraction rose 3.7 per cent in April — the largest monthly increase since February 2024. Oil sands extraction led the way. … The agency's early estimates have growth moderating but continuing with an increase of 0.1 per cent in May thanks to growth in finance, insurance, real estate and leasing. Manufacturing, public sector also growing Industries outside of natural resources also expanded, including the manufacturing sector (0.6 per cent) and the public sector (0.4 per cent). The report said federal government public administration grew for the first time in four months, while defence services grew for the seventh consecutive month. Fourteen of 20 industrial sectors grew in April, according to the report…. Cautious optimism Analysts say the number marks a break from the economy's previous slow growth. "It’s a significant bounce back after a number of softer months," Nathan Janzen, assistant chief economist at RBC, said in an interview. "We had economic activity stall over the winter… so to see stronger activity in April to start off Q2 is encouraging." … https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/april-gdp-numbers-canada-9.7253694
