Cynical but truthful

Like Canada, NZ has had way too many immigrants in a short span without the infrastructures required to welcome them. NZ's government has taken action, and will prevent employers from hiring foreign workers in areas as in to which there is no labour shortage. A problem New Zealand has had was also that many Kiwis were leaving the country to go to Australia as many of the well paying jobs in New Zealand were given by the employers to foreigners. They lost many of their own constituents, productive ones at that, because the elite wanted cheap labour. It's important that we start to realize that other nations face the same problems Canada is facing, and they find solutions. Why couldn't we replicate what New Zealand just did? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c25l0vxpnd8o

This foreign interference sure warrants a complete freeze on the elected Liberals' bank accounts, right? Right?

Or you have Vienna, which is composed in majority of social housing.

Yup, it's imperative that the municipal zoning laws in dense urban areas have to be reformed. In Montreal for example, the federal and provincial government paid billions for a transit station (REM) in Pierrefonds. The homeowners of Pierrefonds (QC), who live in small detached homes, voted by referendum to prevent any dense housing to be built near the station, paid by the taxpayers. That's unacceptable and that's where provincial and federal governments have to slap their dongs on the table and tell Pierrefonds that any funding to build public transit is conditional on allowing dense housing.

You don't have a peaceful society when people can't house themselves. You don't have grocery stores if no one is able to buy from them or have to steal for food. You don't have a bank account or apply to a mortgage if you can't find a job or don't have an address. The State ultimately has to intervene. The alternative is Brazil.

I am pragmatic and don't like too much State influence in the economy, but there is a point where the State has to intervene; we've reached that point with housing. There needs to be social housing paid for by the federal government for the reasons I mentioned in the other thread. The reasons are that the federal government allowed the (sometimes illegal) entry of millions of people in a very short span, without finding an agreement with the provincial governments, who have to pay for this incredible mess caused by, once again, the feds. RBC's call for social housing is logical. There can't be business if there is social unrest. The social unrest we will have to endure - the RCMP agrees with me on that according to their latest reports -, will be caused by lack of housing. The free market does not want to build right now because it is not profitable. Then, if the free market is not able to take care of this crucial economic sector, the State has to massively intervene short term until the free market is able to function as intended, because otherwise other parts of the free market will be going down the drain because of the lack of peace.

Wow, when I suggested that in another thread, @ExFlyer scolded me, calling me a Communist. Is RBC a communist organization, @ExFlyer?

This will cause social unrest and possibly riots, or the slow establishment of a Brazilian like economy in which the Poor are super poor, and the Rich, super rich.

They want to be saved...

This kind of loser mindset brought us, the collective West, to Iraq, Syria, Libya, and nothing good came out of those military campaigns for regime changes.

That's quite a concerning discourse. Iran is an adversary to our interests, but it also isn't in our interest to destroy them, and especially not by all means available. Pakistan hates Iran and the two countries hit each other with missiles a few weeks ago. Afghanistan, to the Northern border of Iran, isn't sympathetic with Iran as well and they have a conflict when it comes to a hydro-electrical barrage that will cut off the water supply to Iran in the North. Saudi Arabia is at its south alongside many American bases. It's a surrounded, paranoid regime, that will lose its relevance without any foreign interference.

It's totally reasonable to have empathy to people who have been scammed financially by con men. The thing is, if the same people get conned over and over again, the onus is also on the victim. It is totally reasonable that after a few times of getting robbed, that we lose the empathy for the victims. This is what is happening with the Canadian population at large.

Yeah and I've heard those Communists also have State funded roads just like Stalin wanted it.

That's when provincial governments come into play and build social housing, and make the Feds pay for it. The Feds forced the provinces to have unsustainable population growth. The Feds caused this housing crisis by not enforcing laws on immigration and to even favour those who cheat the system. Thus, the feds have to pay for the social housing through transfers to provinces who will have to handle the construction of all the units.

We're actually on our way to 1.2m this year. Yes, canadian immigration levels are actually this suicidal.

The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the "vital few"). Immigration is causing 80% of the consequences on the housing market. It has to be reduced immediately or else nothing is going to happen.

I would argue it depends if the person is in a state of vulnerability such as for example the person may have a psychotic break, it would be unfair, but in most cases it would be fair game if the properties of slumlords are to be confiscated and sold if they don't do the maintenance necessary.

How can someone defend this level of unsustainable immigration? Even the Liberals came to the conclusion we had to bring it down, even foreign workers are a major problem as they are used as pawns by the corporations and industries to suppress wages as much as possible. Are you exploiting immigrants yourself, or are you just incredibly dumb?

We need Mommy government...

A society that feminizes itself to the degree that the Canadian culture did it has its flaws and becomes too empathetic to the point where empathy is placed on things that are not needed.

This should be studied.

Schoolyard hasn't ended after school after all.

Totally. It's like China back at the start of the XXth Century, a land divided by multiple warlords, raping, looting, killing as much as possible. Rwanda also had this kind of anarchy back in the 1990s. They need a total dictatorship, and for generations. Bukele showed us the way. China showed us the way too. Same thing with Rwanda. Dictatorship isn't a choice; it's a necessity for countries afflicted by this much crime and chaos. I wholeheartedly wish Haiti to find a strongman.
