Earth's climate has always been dynamic and changing. And it operates independently of any single variable. We are coming out of The Little Ice Age, we are supposed to warm up. History has always shown that warmth delivers prosperity. Cold spells always bring hardship. The Holocene Era was a rollercoaster, but both the Roman Warming Period and the Medieval Warm Period were marked by booming agriculture and expanding empires. And that is the paradox not addressed by the climate fanatics - Why are ancient warm periods celebrated as golden eras, but today's mild shifts are framed as catastrophic? Instead of destroying our economic engines, isn't there a better way of managing earth's changing temperatures and adapting using our incredible technological capabilities?

Sure, I can see millions of trees dying of drought in the rain forest I live in where there have never been droughts of this scale since before the last ice age. I can see thousands of whales have disappeared because the whale's food can't adapt to a lack of sea ice due to a warming ocean. I can drive boats thru areas that are now barren of kelp forests due to a more acidic warmer ocean - made worse for the same reason, by the disappearance of sea stars up and down the coast that are vital to the health and structural integrity of kelp forests. I can also hear what local scientists I know are saying about why and the consensus is AGW. Maybe you don't have scientists in the biogeoclimatic zone you live in or your're to young to appreciate the changes to it. Maybe you live in a city and don't get out much. There's probably a scientific reason. Perhaps the field of agnotology can provide it.

My question would be did the harper government use tax payers money to sell off thesed affordable rental units, was anyone bailed out.... If it is not a bail out what is it....using taxpayers money to purchase condos at inflated prices then turn them into affordable housing....is a bail out for contractors and bankers bad decisions, how is any of this a good idea... Ya right, give us a quote for thoise prices because they don't match anything in NB, where housing has gone up well over 100 % in most areas... Just another example of liberals helping out liberals... https://www.pressreader.com/canada/times-transcript/20250410/281599541329542

Not sure where your getting your numbers from but they seem really high....and this is not a global crises there are many countries with less resources than we have that have little to none homeless problems... https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-with-no-homeless And do i blame this on the Liberals, as there numbers have only grown while the liberals have been in charge...yes i do they seem to have brushed it aside in favor of other projects like high speed trains, other social programs that we don't really need....which in my opinion sends the message we don't really care when they become a problem we will swoop down and clear them out.....there are lots of private charities that are doing more than the government building tiny homes and communities with built in support programs and people there to help those struggling... none of them are building high speed trains, or paying out contractors and bankers for bad investments....

Whats wrong with "landlords"? Who buys real estate to lose money? I feel like you're just whining and you don't have a point to make. The Feds are just giving taxpayer money away to developers right now, they're not merely "allowing capitalism to occur 😱". Still, unaffordability increased by more under Trudeau. That's a far more important metric. Yeah. Sorry, not sorry. OMFG, dummy. Canada was a top 5 place in the world to live and visit under Harper. What are we now, 35th? 2014 was the peak of our civilization here. That's some powerful glue that you're sniffing there. You could attach Jupiter to the Sun with that shiznit.

'Alberta' doesn't have the desire to separate, it's a small percentage (~27%) of mainly rural idi0ts in that province do. Why.... because Canada keeps electing the liberal party as our federal government where Alberta is made up heavily of conservative supporters, though that's lessening. This will go nowhere....except for seeing the Premier of the province losing her role when the time comes.

No, I mean he sold affordable rental housing units to landlords and developers so they could profit. Also hard to escape the fact that the average housing cost increased more during Harper's term than it did in Trudeau's. Facts are facts... Harper was by and large a failure, and the little mouthpiece who is party leader today is an utter embarrassment and proven failure.

You mean he allowed people that own property to sell their property. Every liberal government before and after has done the exact same thing. It is a bailout for Developers. They will make money and go away happy instead of selling their homes at a discount and driving prices down which would happen in a normal market environment. They took the profits when prices were going up, why shouldn't they accept the losses now that prices are going down He did quite a bit about it. And once again you're lying. Further at the beginning of harper's houses were seriously undervalued having come through the 90s with very very poor growth. But housing was still affordable even if it was expensive at the end of harper's term. Justin got in in 2015 saying he would fix the problem and make sure that housing stayed affordable because at that point it was just barely affordable. THEN he drove it up 62 percent. Poilievre voted against initiatives to make housing affordable in 2006, 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014 when Conservatives were in power; and again in 2018 and 2019 as a member of the official opposition. Actually all of the top real estate developers are supporting the liberals. That's part of the ethics scandal is beginning to unfold Carney is bailing out real estate developers that paid a lot of donations to the liberals and who are friends with carney personally and many of the people that will benefit work for Brooksfield subsidieres. So Brooksfield will benefit substantially. This is just corruption plain and simple. There's no justification for this bailout, it hurts the population, and it doesn't incentivize these developers to go out and build new homes they're just going to take their cash and walk The poorest people will be the ones that are hurt the most and you're sitting here clapping for it

Will Poillievre Try To Sabotage 24 Sussex Restoration ?
CdnFox replied to BeaverFever's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
The reason it's going to be a partisan issue and to a degree rightfully so is that the liberals just spent 10 years saying no we're not going to do anything about this even though there was pressure from the right and other groups to tackle it. Now they're presenting it as this big pride moment and they're doing interviews saying how proud they are to work for a government that's tackling this issue. Were they ashamed of the government when it was Justin Trudeau? Once again we're just supposed to forget how we got here and pretend this is a new government even though all the ministers are the same and carney was a part of the previous government for 5 years. -
In 2015, Poilievre was Housing Minster in Harpers government, which allowed 800,000 affordable rental units to be sold off to corporate landlords and developers. In 2026 Poilievre slams Federal-BC plan to buy vacant condos, calling it a 'bail-out' for developers. Under Harper's conservatives, the average home price in Canada went up +67% (compared to +62% during Trudeau's term), who refused to do anything about it. Poilievre voted against initiatives to make housing affordable in 2006, 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014 when Conservatives were in power; and again in 2018 and 2019 as a member of the official opposition. He must be conflicted now considering his top donors are real estate investors. That's our boy Poilievre.... a useless mouthpiece....utterly useless.
