Congrats on your ability to walk around with your head up your ass, but that's where we part ways. Happy trails.

These apologists for government injustice are perpetuating injustice. The downplay or deny it, so to me they’re just as bad. They’re an oppressive force in the world. When I heard Charest spewing the same garbage while trying to run as Conservative leader…we’ll that’s why Canadians should worry about the country. The MSM and government have an unholy alliance. We don’t have a free press. The propaganda is working. Ex flyer and Eye are cases in point.

I have lots of proof. There's the video of a guy getting beaten up right in the exact spot where Csaba Vizi got out of his truck, that same day, and he says it was him. The people that he is accusing obviously beat someone up, but they're denying that they beat anyone up, so they're 100% liars and their account of the story wouldn't be allowed in a courtroom. A gofundme? Are you honestly stupid enough to believe that he can receive 1 cent from gofundme after everything that you just saw? That's called "going full-retard." The government threatened to seize people's trucks, so people buggered off, and in this fascist day and age it's a certainty that he'll lose more than he gains from a civil suit against the police. So weird that you know that, yet you keep regurgitating CBC propaganda like a Manchurian candidate. Him sitting in his truck, defying the police orders to end the peaceful protest. Everyone in Canada knows that but you. Like I said, for sure he'll lose his truck if he goes against the government. How much money would you spend fighting a fascist government in court, knowing that you're guaranteed to lose your business? You're aware that Trudeau is the PM/AG, right? Or did you miss that one too? Did you even read those stupid words before you copied and pasted them? Do you really think that Vizi wasn't there? You saw him go surrender to police in that video. How does that equate to "he left the city"? I proved that you say incredibly stupid things when you think that you're making salient points flyer. Also that you refuse to acknowledge that protesters were beaten by police when you have the video put in your lap, and that you are extremely comfortable regurgitating propaganda even when you know it's false. You're the exact person that I said you are but I guess it's possible that it has less to do with you lying and more to do with the fact that you really are just completely sucked in by propaganda and unaware what's going on.

I watch some of both and they do an at least so-so job on their real news reporting. Where FOX falls apart as a serious news outlet is in their editorial personalities. Where CNN has/had complete hacks like Chris Cuomo, at least they live on Planet Earth. To have Tucker Carlson on your network while pretending you're serious about truth is a fantastical exercise in delusion.

alright, let's place bets I say West Can will never relent West Can will carry on a war of attrition for years on end eventually ex flyer will capitulate West Can will win, by sheer doggedness

1. Never. It will never happen. Of course not. 2. You are a very angry person. 3. They gave you scorpions. I'm guessing they saved the bats for the good company

Grow up, you childish wingnut.

1. Cite. 2. Antimask Nazis, like you, have been attacking people and business owners since day one - or does your one-sided media not mention that? 3. Cite. BTW, a clue for you - Provinces, not Trudeau, impose mask-wearing, vaccination passports and other restrictions for their Province. You don't like them, call Kenney a dictator/Nazi/whatever.

This stuff has been reported in the MSM. Probably not true then, wouldn't you say? Not us, chickadee - most of Canada's restrictions are gone and nobody is clamoring for resumption. There's been no dogs beaten by a health care worker, no cats in green mesh bags, nobody throwing themselves off buildings. If you have a problem with China's policies, take it up with them instead of calling Canadians Nazis. Weren't you moving to the States or something? How's that going?

I worked round the clock though, for weeks, sometimes months on end, so you got me at a very cheap hourly rate

Anyone who walks with you will surely end up getting lost in lefty liberal land, and also become pretty much brain dead at the same time. Sometimes one has to go nuts in order to try and get people like you to wake up from your lefty liberal slumber and stop attacking and mocking people that are trying to do something right like fight for rights and freedoms as what the truckers were trying to do. You appear to have not got or read the memo yet. I am not trying to promote any kind of superiority here at all, even though I consider myself a bit more superior over you. Ha-ha. Geez, I wish everyone thought like me. It would be a perfect world then. Liberalism and socialism would be dead. Then conservatism would rule the day and the world. What a concept. We would have more freedom, less government and less taxes. Shit, I can live with that, military man. LOL. I kind of enjoy trying to stir you up also. Touche! ?

Well, it's nice to hear that you had lots of fun on my taxpayer's dime. But dictator Trudeau is doing the same thing also, and he is having plenty of fun on your taxpayer dime. Whether it be someone in the military or one of those crummy politicians, it would appear as though we the taxpayer's will always be getting the double whammy from both up the arse. ?

I think that many of us here have proven our case already. It's just that you appear to have a comprehension problem with trying to understand anything that is being said to you. All we are saying here is that peacefully protesting for people's rights and freedoms is not supposed to be a crime in Canada like it has now become in provinces like Alberta. This was what the truckers protest was all about. Trying to restore rights and freedoms that were stolen away from all Canadians during covid, and you should be showing support for the truckers and not try and condemn them. They did more for the fight for rights and freedoms than lefty liberals like you could ever do, military man. If the Canadian military told you that those trucker protesters are terrorists, and the protests must be ended now, and if need be shot, you would probably follow those orders and shoot those truckers without hesitation, because as you already said, you would follow your orders without question, and shoot to kill if required. Disgusting. ?

Truth hurts, doesn't hurt, eh? ? You must know alright. I cannot see anyone with an ounce of brains wanting to walk with you on your liberal path that you are walking on. I can see already that you are pretty much lost on the path of liberal la-la land. Chuckle-chuckle.

Your head is already in the sand, FYI you can't actually fall from there, but feel free to get the 3rd jab and wear a mask there just in case there's an earthworm flu going around. As an unvaxxed, I promise not to go there with you and put you even more at risk.

Yeah, it's just conspiracy that the police in Ottawa beat people up lol. That's hilariously childish, but it's mostly just a sad display of how little you understand & care about the important rights and freedoms necessary to have an actual free country/democracy.

This is an interesting article by Conrad Black on the over-reach of government. Governments seem to believe they have the right to intrude on everyone's personal lives and business. Conrad Black: Government has no business in the bank accounts of the nation (msn.com) These are Marxist-oriented politicians who have no respect for individual rights and freedoms.

Obviously Toronto is full. Build in Sudbury.

I don't know. Perhaps the smart ones. I mean really...CNN is a joke and a half now.

As opposed to Donna LeMon, Humpty Dumpty Stelter, the Cuomo crime syndicate and a failed leader? Stupid is as stupid does.

It also means you've succeeded at attracting the stupidest people on Earth. Bravo?

Perhaps you'd like to share what exactly you mean by "a fantastical exercise in delusion."? Or are you just virtue signalling...

Could happen, but not likely I don't think, and policymakers have talked a lot about trying to avoid this and go for a "soft landing" instead. Skyrocketing is hardly an academic term. The detachment in price vs income has been a long and steady burn, however, Well it's a question of framing. 10 years vs 5 years, what regions you look at etc. For Ontario, I don't think the farming really matters considering the shortfall and how it's not being filled by any significant measure. A question of stakeholders. The housing boom has been great for public coffers and for for existing owners and folks who could still afford. Canadians are generally terrible savers and a lot of their retirement plans hinge on their primary residence. Housing has continued to be a problem for a long time in Canada especially (but also in the US, with more recent lessons learned and forgotten) because of how many people are benefiting from it. That the problem was running away into absurdity was obvious back in 2017 and I've been cautioning clients about over-leveraging/investing into real-estate since probably 2016 (and looking like an asshole over it so far) but up until (relatively) recently, there hasn't been enough opposition to it. At today's values it's almost like investing in Bitcoin - there's no objective case to make for the price, but people think it's going to go up because it keeps going up which reinforces the idea that it's always going to go up. We're only just starting to see push-back as millennials priced out of the market are quickly becoming the most dominant demographic. This hasn't been a voting issue yet, but it will front-and-centre in the next election. Yeah that's pure insanity. That the government and the regulators didn't step in seriously back in 2017 is negligent and incompetent but the huge spike through COVID can be attributed to the big spike in disposable income. Nobody had anything else to spend their money on. There are certainly some. My cousin bought a place in a nice part of Waterloo maybe 7 years ago for ~750,000 and it's probably close to $2M now. A Chinese family bought the place next door after the first week or two they've never been back. It's just been sitting empty and getting maintained since then. Great investment.

Dude...WestCanMan posted this. FOX News is number 1 because it is "closer" to the truth than any of the other TV news outlets. That's not to say they don't have a bias. They most certainly do. Yet their bias seems to be supported by facts...instead of feelings, as the bulk of the MSM...and you too apparently...like to base things on.

I think the title is apt as it can be.

Thank God that Conrad Black is standing up for Canada and freedom. He’s using his power for the public good. Yes he’s wealthy as all get out. Good for him.

Sounds like a thread I started awhile back about the disgusting Russiophobia in this country. Stealing money because of their passport doesn't make you virtuous

civilians could do that job, and in most countries that job is done by civilian agencies you didn't serve in the combat arms, you were a pampered air force weenie who was not even deployable

Self-righteous much? Your unquestioning support of bad policy today isn’t okay. I can’t speak for your service in the past. You’re saying you were great and we’re expected to believe you? Okay. I’d just say, “What have you done for me lately?” As Liberace said, “You’re only as good as your last performance.”

I guess I'm looking at construction from an older school way of doing things. I constructed my buildings myself 35 years ago, mostly with beach-combed logs I sawed into lumber. You're just not allowed to do that sort of thing anymore. Nowadays the lumber has to be graded, planed, sanded and stamped with approval....the wood I salvaged was almost entirely export grade old growth fir you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere in Canada now. The wood has hardened up so much I have to drill a hole to pound a nail into anything. In addition to stricter regulations are by-laws established by local governments. I don't think nimbyism is a barrier that has been touched on enough, especially as it relates to density. How exactly the new $4 billion dollar Housing Accelerator Fund budgeted by Ottawa for municipalities to build new housing is supposed to work seems a little mysterious to me. In addition to building affordable housing I also heard mention about cutting red-tape. Where, what and how and in such a way that it won't be subject to public backlash if it aggravates the issues with density so many people have everywhere? For many small towns increased density may also mean expensive upgrades to infrastructure. It doesn't help that affordable housing is code for housing projects for people on welfare. I wasn't kidding when I said the word dictator will quickly be thrown at any government that tries to change or override zoning that was largely shaped by local public input. For example when the area planning commission I'm on switched to ZOOM for public meetings shortly after COVID hit emails about the end of democracy started flying the next day. We're talking about variances for height restrictions, size of decks, and setbacks for creeks and such, not exactly constitutionally relevant but it is what it is. And yet even these can trigger people now. Remember Marvin Heemyer and his bulldozer rampage?

Another thing that's increased the cost are the standards to which new buildings need to be constructed. Around here people need to take earthquake measures into account. This means hiring geo-technical engineers to oversee the construction of the foundations. Another is that an owner who chooses to construct their own building has to take a course and pass tests before the building permit is issued and live in the house for a year before selling it.

There is not a shortage of lumber, lots of lumber being produced across NB, most lumber yards are choked filled with new lumber, they are only releasing it in small numbers slowly to make it look like their is a shortage... i use to be able to buy a 2 x 10 x 8 for around 20 dollars each now they are 69 dollars each... i recently got a quote to build a new home and was told 250 dollars a square foot, for a standard build, no fancy kitchen or finishes, no landscaping no paved driveway, just a plain home that runs 450 K for 1800 sq feet of finished living space....I was also told that the quote is only good for today, as the market is influx and only getting worse....i was advised to have an additional 20 to 25 % for any changes....This is in the back country outside of Fredericton, i can only imagine what it is like in the cities..
