There should be a law that requires politicians to fulfill their election promises. I am pretty sure people did not "love" Justin much at all, but, they just did not "love" Harper, Scheer or O'Foole at all.

Well, that is an opinion. And you have the right to have one. You are the one being obtuse if you think others cannot have a differing one.

No, I understand, you just don't agree so that makes you narrow minded. You are pissed at wearing a mask seemingly not knowing that you don't have to if you don't want to. LOL Wake up and smell the real world

Not obtuse at all. I am reading your posts and your major complaint is wearing masks. Well, if you don't want to, don't. Easy peasy. Please, don't bring up bikini, you don't have top wear one either LOL

What good is a policy if in Shanghai alone 26 million are locked down and still not prevented deaths? Almost the entire population of Canada. Man, you would definitely have something to whine and complain about then but wait, you would go to jail to think about your freedom Now they are talking about locking down Beijing. Point is, you and some others here are whining about your freedoms being jeopardized, about unfair lock downs, about having to wear masks and you bring up China? Now that is a laugh LOL

Pretty sad when your entire life rotates around whether I or many others choose to wear masks. I choose to wear a mask in certain situations and choose not to wear a masks in others. My choice. My freedom to do so, just as it is your freedom of choice to do so or not. No obscure bureaucrat telling me, just my wide awake freedom of choice.

You said "Zero Covid in China is the exemplar." Omicron is a COVID-19 variant. You say "no deaths caused by Covid". China reports only 5000 deaths but that is disputed and felt that China had drastically under reported cases and deaths. Who is asking you to explain things, especially things that everyone knows. You are far from a reliable news source. You are only validating things I have already said. I said "Zero COVID in China? Are you well? Have you not been paying attention to the entire cities shut down. To COVID emergency centres with hundred and hundreds of quarantine beds " Seems I am keeping up, I don't have to regurgitate what others have said and can easily correct you. LOL

Otherwise known a democracy.

I look in the mirror and see someone living in Canada with all the freedoms and constitutional rights to keep me happy. I do not compare to any communist country because if I did, I would see that I have all the freedoms that they do not.

Your obsession with communists is frightening.

Well, insulting the population endears you to no one. Seems you are in a minority. Most are OK.

Pandemic planned? Yeah, OK. There is a new one LOL Zero COVID in China? Are you well? Have you not been paying attention to the entire cities shut down. To COVID emergency centres with hundred and hundreds of quarantine beds All masking and vaccination mandates (air and train travel excepted) were all Provincial Immigration is another issue entirely and a topic that should be discussed.

Oh, you are not glad Putin and Kim are not in your country? You want them here? Oh, you are saying a "young healthy and supposedly well educated individual" is not as smart as oyu and cannot make decisions based on what they can see and read and hear form all the same sources as you. I am surprised (maybe not) you are so much smarter. What is "visible, actual proof"? And of what? That you are so much smarter than the "young healthy and supposedly well educated individuals"?

You said "Lots of the inflation, especially in housing, is directly related to government policy." Government policy did not increase lumber prices. The produces cut back production thinking there would be less houses built during covid crises. They were wrong and the demand out stripped the supply so, the prices skyrocketed. https://blog.bluebeam.com/lumber-prices-high-2022/ https://www.npr.org/2021/07/08/1013819703/what-the-rise-and-fall-of-lumber-prices-tell-us-about-the-pandemic-economy Government policy did not hinder new builds as new builds set records in 2021 and are continuing at a higher rate in 2022. Government policy did not tell or make buyer out bid others to get the house. Buyers decided that on their own. As you even said "Buyers need a home and bid against dozens of others. Where we are houses were going off the market just 3 or 4 hours as going on. " LTC is your red herring,. You just brought that up. Also, LTC are a provincial responsibility. Deflecting when you are losing the argument again.

There have been the same if not more housing starts in the past 2 years. In 2021 there were record housing starts. Red tape aside, there are still lots of houses being built and that has no bearing on the price. The price is exactly what the market will bear and the market is you, the buyer. CERB, in my mind, was supposed to be short term and lasted far too long. If not specifically you, there are lots of posts back in this forum about hap it was needed because the government imposed restrictions. The same restrictions you still whine about. Stop with Trudeau stuff. The lockdowns were all provincial and municipal mandates. I do not like Trudeau but I do put blame where it is deserved and in this case, every provincial premier are the ones that caused the business failures (or pushed them over the edge) with lockdowns. Trudeau did give laid off workers up to $2000 per months fro many many months. Lost of free money and people got used to getting money for nothing. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-canadian-housing-starts-hit-record-in-2021-rising-21-per-cent/

Firstly, are you so naive to think increase in housing prices is the governments fault? That is one of the most foolish things you posted. The fact is, the price of house is directly the cause or fault of the buyers. Consumers are the ones bidding extraordinary money to obtain a house. The government does not put a price control on homes as it did on rentals. If you get outbid on the house you want, you need to blame the next person that out bid you. Yeah, I had and have a problem with CERB but it is people like you that defended it saying government imposed restrictions are preventing work so they should pay.... and they did. But now that it is over, you switch? Considering Canada does not manufacture much, the supply chain issues are all foreign generated. Cannot blame any level of Canadian government for other countrys manufacturing problems.

Yup, world wide inflation is the blame of the Canadian government mask mandate??? Not the US. Not Germany. Not the UK. Not Australia. Just Canada. You certainly have a narrow view. My paranoia?? I have non. I am OK and not the one whining and complaining and protesting and demonstrating. I got on with my life. Yup, unions are demanding safe work environments so blame the Canadian government for allowing unions?

Nice try. It is you, as an adult, that decides what you should do and feel. If you decide to let paranoia and panic run your life, so be it. You should be glad that Putin and Kim are not in your country otherwise you would be rotting in a cell for your whining and complaining.. Now that is freedoms lost

Those words were always there, ya just needed to clean your ears to hear. What is amazing is what you can hear if you shut up long enough to listen LOL

We did damage? I did damage? Get over and out of your tiny little environment. You have freedom you always had. You had and have the freedom to make a choice and you have and had the freedom to whine and you did. So yeah, get over your butthurt ass and move on. To address your edit. You are aware public transit has nothing to do with the governments? The union wants users to wear masks to protect their workers. Same as teachers, same as hospital workers same as flight crews.

Yup. You wanna go search for the perverts that are not cops?? Lots of them around. What about teachers and coaches?? Pretty feeble attempt smearing.

Hey, it is a choice and some will choose and some will not. Guess what that is...Oh Shit!! It is freedom to do what you want. Are you saying that the people wearing masks are not free to do so? Are you saying those not wearing masks are not free to do so? Looks to me like they are free to do whatever they want. Oh and, they have the freedom to protest/rally/demonstrate or not. Now that is freedom LOL Time to move on.

Get over it dude. No one is stopping you now. It is over and has been for a while now. Living in the past will never let you move forward. You have freedom....freedom to complain about not having freedom...how bizarre is that LOL

So funny really. When you think about all the whining and complaining and protesting about loss or lack of freedom, yet here you (and your ilk) are whining and complaining and out on the streets, protesters running/driving/honking/demonstrating about no freedon issues. Thing is, if you really had no freedom, you certainly would not be able to do the things you are whining and protesting about.
