Harper was one of the best canada has ever seen. And that's why he always ranks in the top 3, frequently top 2, best prime ministers in history when people are polled.

Excuses excuses...you're simply streaming the voice in your head on the Internet. And seriously, there's no excuse for using poor grammer when you're using it to call people stupid. 🤣 Which sentence? Go get a dictionary and we'll literally go over it word for word so we know what you're talking about.

So the original poster lied when he said harper sold homes And in fact what you appear to be saying is that the government was paying subsidies for housing and with those subsidies expired they didn't renew paying government money to subsidize cheap housing. But in fact there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that most of those people wouldn't have simply gone ahead and done the same thing anyway given the increase in pricing for homes and rent. And in fact we know a lot of the housing that still received subsidies chose to go that route Landlords choose to drop subsidies to upgrade Previously affordable homes for higher rent - Google Search So even when the subsidies are still there a huge percentage of the landlords are dropping the subsidiesrenovating for higher rents So in other words the idea that harper somehow put 800,000 homes out of play is absolute nonsense. Completely manufactured

Nope. First off Carney is at fault for what he's doing which is bailing out developers. If he didn't they would have to sell their homes that are reduced rate or rent them out, either way lowering prices for people. Now those people are being bailed out on the government die with no guarantee the homes will ever be rented out to low income people or sold to needing families or be used to reduce prices as it would have been This is a 100% carney thing it has absolutely nothing to do with the past Second it off the only thing that the federal government has to do with housing availability historically is immigration. The liberals screwed up immigration over the last 11 years that's true not played a horrible role but that was not decades in the making that was only the liberals. The rest of the problem falls on provincial and Municipal governments. They've increased the regulation around homes jacking up prices severely and limiting builds and extending build times to create a constant crisis. They become drunk on developer money. But that has nothing to do with the feds, although both trudeau and carney said they'd fix that and neither have. This certainly won't help So you're wrong across the board. The situation we're talking about is 100% carney and has nothing to do with the past. Federally the liberals are the only ones who can take a significant amount of blame for the housing crisis due to their immigration policy where they deliberately allowed in far more people then the number of homes being built and did so after their own people warned them not to Swing in a miss kiddo You never sent anything of the kind and I just posted the facts which prove you were wrong. Along with the link. Although it's certainly not surprising to see you transiting from lying about what harper did to lying about having provided the information Lying is what you liberals are good at

America seems stuck with just two ancient parties. In a normal democracy, creative destruction would work its wonders and new outfits would break through. Even a rebranding helps to keep the jaded show on the road. I would say the left will be strongest in the big cities, not so much farther out. The Democratic party is a broad church. Maher may be angry because Mamdani’s candidates did so well in New York. One thing seems likely: support from AIPAC and Co. will bring problems for any Dem hopeful in the near future.

I sent you the facts... tons of times. Harper was a failure Kiddo... accept it and move on.

No, people are criticizing Carney, and in the process we're finding that the housing shortages started decades ago under various governments for reasons that all helped reduce affordable housing stock. We all get it you people have an insatiable need to absolve your precious Conservatives, and especially Harper, for absolutely anything they contributed to the problem. But why do you think that would prevent people from pointing out these omissions, like this one? While the Harper administration did not actively put 800,000 public units up for sale, its policy to let affordable housing subsidies expire effectively forced hundreds of thousands of previously affordable units into the lucrative private market. Harper was just carrying on with a policy to get Ottawa out of funding subsidized housing that started under Mulroney, accelerated under Chretien and was completed by Harper. Now the mess that created, no affordable housing stock at all anywhere, is in Carney's lap...or Ottawa's which is how I primarily choose to look at it. It is what it is.

If it is as they say, buying at or below construction cost then that's not 'at inflated prices'. There are still details needed though for what the cost of the units really is, how the financing works, etc... so we'll hear more whenever that is. I agree though... the market should set market pricing, not the government. You did well with the equity made from that sale. I'm pretty sure though that the bank/s that cleared your mortgage and brought on the new one don't give a damn about your or their politics... they/you/everyone only cares about the financial outcomes to themselves.

Look at the fertility rates by country as smartphones become common there. Same with US counties. By and large, the downward trend gets steeper. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/article/killing-the-mood-smartphones-reduce-birth-rate-studies-say/

Well as you know they're mostly a product of voice dictation technology which I used to be able to make as many posts as I do. And if that's all you got left junior i'd say that's pretty much an admission of defeat on your part BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAH You literally just screwed up your sentence and couldn't put it together properly and now you're having a hissy fit demanding it's really me that has the problem "YOUOOOOOUUOUOUOU NOT ME YOUOOUOEOOU " Holy crap kid Maybe when you're being a grammar Nazi you should double check to make sure your own grammar is correct

Harper spinmeister, Dimitris Soudas, thinks it’s a good idea, on X: I’m not particularly devoted to this cause. Let’s hope the wilder three figure estimates of the millions involved don’t happen.

Your grammatical faux pas are the first thing that stand out, especially when you're telling people they're stupid. That you can't. And it's cute that you think you're in a position to even know what a properly strung sentence looks like.

It really doesn't matter. The question isn't the cause of this point, the question is whether or not it's a crisis that we need to address as an urgent and existential threat to our existence. And the answer appears to be no. And virtually nobody despite being asked billions of times on this platform and others have ever come up with even the tiniest little bit of science to show that it's a crisis or that anything that we can do about it will make a difference that will avert that crisis And you and your kind simply keep coming back to the absolute nonsense that the question here is does the climate change. There is no substantial body of people that seriously believes the climate doesn't change. But there doesn't seem to be any data that supports the idea of a radical action that destroys our economy in order to save things. In fact it looks like adaptation to climate change followed by the adoption of new technologies as they become available is the most reasonable and prudent course of action

Oh suddenly it's "allowed" Here's you earlier: Suddenly it's "they allowed" Because you lied. and you know you lied and that never happened But you're still lying. Lets take a look did harper sell 800,000 low rental properties - Google Search The claim that Stephen Harper's government sold 800,000 low-rental properties is a politically charged talking point frequently used by rival parties. [1, 2, 3] However, this is not an accurate description of a direct government sell-off. Here are the facts: What the claim actually refers to: The figure stems from data highlighting the loss or conversion of approximately 800,000 private, "naturally occurring" affordable rental units in Canada between 2011 and 2016. These were not government-owned units. [1, 2, 3] The root cause: These units disappeared from the market due to private developers renovating properties (sometimes called "renovictions") or raising rents to unaffordable rates, rather than a direct government transfer or sale of public housing. [1, 2, 4, 5] The political context: Rival parties—such as the NDP and the Liberals—have used this data to criticize Pierre Poilievre (who served as Minister responsible for housing under Harper), arguing the government failed to intervene, supported policies that favored corporate landlords, and cut off funding for new social housing The bolding wasn't me btw. So people sold or renovated their private property and you claim that this means harper sold it. People owned that property, people decided to fix up their places and rent it for more, and you blame harper because he didn't pass new laws that would deny people the right to renovate or sell their own property You're a lying sack of shit who just got exposed for what you are. Want to try again little guy? Or are you done looking like a steaming pile of diarrhea for the day? In fact any such housing changes would have been provincial in any rate. Harper was easily one of the best prime ministers we have ever had and certainly the best when it comes to finance. Trudeau was the worst. Carney looks like he's taking a page out of Trudeau's Playbook

That is why they are voting for the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

Ahhhh so you're last line of defense is 'Grammar nazi' LOLOL kid i always make sense, it's you who have to do olympic grade mental and linguistic gymnastics because you can't keep your story straight err... what were you saying about people who can't string a sentence together?

I never said it did. You do this a lot. You take my words, apply some off the wall interpretation, and try to make me defend the interpretation you invented. You mad bro?

Since when did any of you leftist give a sh!t about Canadian war graves, you did not even know of its existence until this media report, and it is a multi national grave site with 1/2 dozens western nations present.....Not to mention it was a combat operation....think grave sites get a free pass...And ya lets give Hama another free pass for building tunnels underneath you guys should start up your own fan club....

No, I had a big problem with Trudeau.

It's one small town....so what. Tree's have rights too, unless of course you pay the city for removal permits, then those trees and their rights are gone.

Yet you have no problem with the Liberals doing WORSE.
