For investment didn't have anything to do with it and as a matter of fact provincial governments absolutely do have the authority to block foreign investors and in fact British Columbia did that for a time. So you are 100% wrong, the provinces absolutely can both tax and shut down for an investment if they wish But our problem wasn't for an investment. For a. Of time our problem was money laundering which added at least 5 to 10% to the value of our market every year and then it was the other problems that have affected everywhere. Too much immigration, not enough building, too much municipal rape and pillage of Developers, downward pressure on the economy and upward pressure on other inflationary forces None of this is terribly complicated but there's no doubt with the Gregory Robertson played a role

Nothing. That's the problem for you. I actually understand what it's saying and you don't In addition as I pointed out the numbers are wrong and I posted correct ones with an actual link to the source. It's extremely clear that a family of four could find a place to live in Metro Vancouver that was within the budget of the people of the time and raise a family. And in fact they did. There was upper pressure on affordability but it was certainly not a crisis or unaffordable at that point at all Fast forward and since about 2019 it has become truly unaffordable. And a higher and higher percentage of people are no longer able to afford to live as people did in 2015 or 2000 or earlier. And we can point to the policies that actually made it worse and started to cripple affordability. It's not like I'm just pointing at the liberals and saying that because their flag was flying at the time magically they're at fault. We know why affordability began to suffer . I get that this upsets your narrative but I'm afraid that most of our serious affordability problems have happened more recently than you think, probably starting around 2017 and 2018 that things started to become actually unaffordable and certainly by 2019 it was a crisis. Covid made things worse and the liberals never recovered from covid, they just overspent and refuse to address the issues that needed to be addressed and affordability became the absolute crisis we see today Why do you feel the need to lie about this?

Kid there are maybe three posts a year that you make where I and anyone else looks at them and says well at least it was a valid comment or argument. And I'm being a little generous with that number. There are many many thousands of posts where everybody looks at them and says what a waste of time and space this guy is. LUUUZER LUUUUUUUUZER BLAH BLAH!!! That sums up about 90 percent of your posts in their entirety. And literally all you do is argue for the sake of arguing. And I don't even mean debating, all you do is freak out against anyone who disagrees with you and demand that they are losers and so on and so forth like a child having a hissy fit I would love to see you and quite frankly more people on the left actually making intelligent arguments on this forum. As it is it's more like a petting zoo for those of us who have a brain to come and have a laugh at the monkeys jumping around and flinging their feces at themselves. They used to be one or two people that could put up a decent argument from the left but honestly even they are calling it in these days Why don't you try to live up to what you claim. Why don't you try and actually make intelligent well thought out arguments and when somebody comes back with a counter argument don't freak out and poop your pants. Deal with the counter argument, concede valid points and contest points where you feel you can make a rational rebuttal. Is that really so much to ask? It's another example of one of your valid and thought out comments that demonstrates how you don't argue just for the sake of arguing? LLLOOOZER!!!! I WIN!! that's your entire argument in most of your posts

Proof i'm wrong?

LOL kiddo making a post that is time wasting and stupid and then trying to blame your time wasting and stupid post on me somehow is both stupid and a waste of time. Fact is the stoopid usually comes from your side. People on the right here tend to make solid and reasoned arguments, and people like you tend to make.. well.. posts exactly like you did. Then the rest of us stop to laugh at you and the thread is off the rails. So, the answer to your question of why there's so much stoopid is staring at you in your mirror. Be smarter, the rest of us already are. That's not actually what a pivot is That's actually mockery. I'm mocking your reply because it is obviously not intended in good faith or as an honest actor, it's this weirdly dramatic senseless post with bizarre punctuation and spacing that I guess is supposed to make it more meaningful because the words don't You shouldn't use words you don't understand Whenever you make an actual point or try and make at least a decently formed argument even if it's wrong I usually reply to you with an intelligent response addressing your points but when you act like the 3-year-old you get treated like a 3 year old.

LOL well considering you're wrong and i'm right that's not a bad idea for you But the truth remains, and it is something that should be discussed and considered. Not even for partisan reasons but to look at how we got here. You're obviously always going to be liberal, no matter what. But looking at what liberals have done wrong in the past might at least give you a chance to help guide future liberal policy to avoid the worst pitfalls. It was quite affordable. Sorry but i posted the facts that prove that. People could buy a nice place to live in one of the major parts of greater vancouver for a modest price and keep within 33 percent of their income and raise kids. They could do that. Today they can't. ROFLMAO!!!!!!! Sure kid, this board is FULL of posts about me going on about how great inflation is LOLOLOL You get so weird when you think you've 'lost'. Honestly. The seeds for future problems existed in harper's day and harper himself was concerned about it. But they had not yet come to flower. Justin ran on a platform of making sure they were taken back under control and housing remained affordable in 2015. look how that turned out.

Not to mention these days the anti facists are all fascists.

A tiny bit gloomy perhaps but certainly within the Realms of possibility I'll offer another possible alternative, not saying this is guaranteed but just as a thought experiment I think he knows in order to get anything in the slightest from the united states he's going to have to give up supply management and possibly one or two other sacred cows. I think he knows that is going to be death in quebec for a while So I think he deliberately avoided any negotiations until he either had a majority or if necessary called an election and scooped a majority that way. Now that he's got his majority if he does have to give up some sacred cows and take a bad deal Quebec and others will have 3 years to calm down and forget he completely trashed their economies. The auto sector workers will all find new jobs or starve to death or accept maid as an option in accordance with the liberal health policy, and all he has to worry about is doing something flashy in the last year and point out that no matter how bad it is everything would have been EVEN WORSE under the CPC to try and win back the support of the people. That's why he hasn't been negotiating. He knows it's going to be a bad deal and he just wanted to find a way to get a majority before he had to face that and tell canadians he screwed them.

Not really and in fact again you have provided the proof that your arguments isn't correct strangely As you can see from your chart detached houses, a house with a big yard, traditional sort of thing, went up significantly but that's because manufacturing and the market switched more to Townhomes and apartment buildings especially in the large metros. This drove the price of the holdouts who still had homes and houses in those areas considerably higher but it was still very easy for a family of four to purchase a nice townhome with nice facilities and room for all at an affordable price By the way your church is wrong. Townhomes and apartments were actually less than that by a fair margin. Here's an example Average price of a townhome in Canada in 2015 - Google Search In 2015, the average price of a townhouse in Canada varied significantly by region, but in high-demand areas like the Fraser Valley , the benchmark price for a townhouse was approximately $321,800 in December 2015. In Metro Vancouver , the benchmark for an attached unit was slightly higher, reaching $506,900 by June Vancouver was one of the most expensive markets there was at the time. So to suggest that the average price was $600,000 or more is simply incorrect.. In 2015 500,000 bought you a very nice modern well-maintained townhome suitable for raising a family That same town home today, just 10 years later, is Closer to a million and a half. That's seriously hard for people to afford. The average including smaller towns and suburbs rose to 650,000 by 2025 So back in 2015 if you were earning a modest income you could afford to buy a very nice townhouse which would be easily suitable for raising two children even within a major metro like vancouver. And even back then people weren't having many more than two children. Nowadays A young couple would not be able to afford that townhouse at all even with both of them working in most cases unless they have above average incomes. Even in the sticks it would be hard. And that really does highlight the affordability issue. In 2015, it wasn't hard for a family just starting out to find a place that was relatively centrally located, that was perfect for raising a kid at an affordable price, and live happily. Now even with both partners working at good jobs it's barely affordable. Now, on top of that you add the food price challenges. Back in 2015 it was nothing to go into the store and grab a pack of steaks for dinner. Now you need to fill out a loan application There was pressure on affordability in 2015 but it really wasn't that bad. It would have been hard for some to have the great big four bedroom detached house that they may have grown up in but they could certainly live well and affordably in most areas. Now that's just not true and even managing to afford a small cramped one bedroom is a chore Smartest thing you've said on the forum in weeks

You upset does not require intelligence, it only requires a single fact or intelligent comment to send you spiraling off the deep end And a guy who just repetatively posts "LLUUUUUUZER LUUZER LUZERLUZERLUZER" for a half dozen pages is not qualified to say if someone's intelligent or not Kid everyone on this form laughs at you when you're like this. I'm trying to defend it just makes you look worse LOL

And you're Spacing Your comments..... like a person with serious mental health Issues.

Well no, as i said you can choose to pray to Joe Pesci You just have to believe he's listening. In fact there isn't much evidence that you truly need to beileve the object of your prayer really does exist . It's a little complex. But i assume that helps. And yet prayer on top of all of those things will still improve it. So either way if you ignore prayer you're not as sharp as you could be. Woke leftism IS your religion, and most of what you spout doesn't exist either

Wheeee look at him go!!! Sure kid!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! LOL i've upset you so bad you're in repeat mode well THAT certainly will prove you're really actually an adult!

It was real problem for more like the last 8 years, and a crisis since about 2019. And while the pandemic created issues the fact is we're LONG past that and it's still getting worse. Just like harper, you can only blame the pandemic so long It should be your birthright in this country to be able to afford a decent home, even in the major metros. Maybe not the biggest home or the most luxurious areas but yeah, people have always been able to afford to live in the cities. Now, they can't even afford to live in the suburbs. And this is due to liberal policies over the last 11 years. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Simple enough this article outlines the methods the libs are using in extreme detail, and notes the rewards already got And they miss that mike ma was given committees and taken on the china trip, all of which pays big bucks and is worth a lto of money when he gets out. What, there were no existing libs who could have done that? Hmmm Poilievre's pain not over as Carney Liberals pursue more Tory MPs | Toronto Sun "Matt Jeneroux was made a special advisor on economic and security partnerships, Marilyn Gladu apparently believes she’ll be in cabinet – good luck with that, and at least one Conservative MP was approached about taking a judicial appointment to consider vacating his seat and prompting a byelection." So yeah. They're bribing people. And they're smart enough not to get caught, but everyone knows the truth. All you have to do is say "there MIGHT be a cabinet post for you (wink wink!) instead of 'there is' and you're not breaking the law That those who've crossed already got special appointments and more money? LOL Sorry kid, I know carney is your Idol but he's corrupt as hell

LOL sure kid Nice job outing yourself You certainly are, youngster

Well its' true, you ARE experienced

Prove that you're a loser? Oh Buddy do you do that yourself you don't need any help from me Yes Robo Smith Anyways there is plenty of evidence. As I said members from more than one party have advised that they've been contacted and told to expect favorable treatment should they cross. And honestly it's kind of the way it is. Just crossing the floor increases their salary, a member of the government makes more than a MP who's part of the opposition. And then they will get appointed to committees which makes them a bunch of money, You'll remember that Ma got in trouble for grilling someone about china at committee, he gets paid extra for that and i'ts not small. Plus extra expense and bonus accounts, and they get to go on trips and meet foreign gov't people which makes them more valuable when they leave parliament - again Ma did that already. So - there you go. Exactly what i'm saying is ALREADY happening. There's your proof

I mean if you try hard enough you can tie anything to abstain but while it's entirely possible, Even if there was a connection I'm not sure that it was much more than a small amount of information here and there rather than some gigantic spy network It just feels like this thing is taking a life of its own and is growing exponentially in scope. It's gone from a sleazy business guy who inappropriately talked a fairly small number of girls into working for him and then having sex with them and occasionally pressuring them to have sex with other people and possibly extorting one businessman, to a massive underground sex trafficking "ring" and spy agency with dozens and dozens of 'clients' being extorted for money and or information, and trump knew about it and was helping hillary smuggle children through an illegal pizza restaurant or some damn thing I think it probably is what it is. A scumbag managed to collect a little harem around him a very young girls who work for m&e inappropriately pressured them to having sex and then pressured them to have sex with influential people to win their favor in most cases, And who may have been extorting one or two people. I'm sure, it's possible he passed info on to massage but I don't it was much more than just bits and pieces he heard here and there. Of course I could be wrong

Most of what you're saying is just supposition though. You investigators look at it felt there was only one case that identified where coercion may have been a factor. The espionage angle has been largely shot down as a sorce of his income. And 'sex trafficking' seems to be that he talked girls into sleeping with people whom he wanted to Impress but not that money was changing hands or the like It's clear he made it his business to know everybody who was of any influence whatsoever. I mean Whoopi Goldberg is on his list for heaven's sake. So is Carney by the way. It doesn't mean that he even had dealings with them, just that he had connections to them in some way or another or in some cases had met them and was friendly enough with them to be able to call them on the phone if he had a reason It appears to have made more of his money pretending to be an investment guy. He was obviously a smooth talker and a snake oil peddler. It is often portrayed that he's got some sort of gigantic criminal network but the more you actually look at it the more it looks like a guy who had a lot of contacts who like having sex with young girls nothing to work for him and then talk them into sex acts and occasionally would pressure them to have sex with influential people that he wanted closer ties with and even that sounds like it was relatively rare. What he did was horrible and he should burn in hell. But I think it's been made into this gigantic huge thing like some sort of james bond villain and I just don't think that it really was that

But he wasn't found guilty and that's the kind of kicking the teeth here, the judge says that he thinks that it would be rape under a more common general definition but not a legal definition. Well that's not a legal ruling. In fact that's literally the opposite of illegal brewing that's saying under the law he wouldn't have been considered a guilty of rape but that some people might choose to use that word because reasons What the judge actually convicted him of was not rape and the judge has admitted that legally it wasn't rape. So there you go

Or in large parts of the country for that matter. It used to be if you lived in greater Vancouver you could always go somewhere like Chilliwack or Abbotsford and find you home at a decent price even though Vancouver was high. Now even those homes are going for a million bucks for a little condominium

You mean the now liberals who were bribed and solicited and begged by Carney until they crossed? Numerous MPS from numerous parties have said that Carney's people are out aggressively negotiating to get people to cross the floor. These aren't people that woke up one day and went to the liberals to talk, these are people that the liberals came to talk to Every one of these people talked about how terrible the liberal policies were just a short time before they crossed. Michael ma actually went to the Christmas party and partied it up with everybody saying how great it was to be a conservative when he clearly already made arrangements to switch and left the next day They just care about lining their own pockets. Like I said they decided but it didn't matter what their constituents voted they were just going to do something different anyway

It's become unrealistic for most And it's not just a major cities anymore it's spilling out into a lot of areas. The problem is is that it's to the point where the bottom is squeezed out. Even if you work hard the nature of the shortage is such that only the top percent of people will be able to buy a home because housing prices will increase till that's the only group that can afford it. I haven't really looked at what that percentage is right at the moment but it's probably pretty close to 50% of people, below which you simply will not be able to afford to buy a home in your lifetime unless you're gifted something from your parents That is not what it used to be like. It used to be that literally anyone could buy a home if they worked hard and had a decent job. But that is not the case any longer, you can work hard and have a decent job and earn what has always been considered to be decent pay and you may still never be able to afford a home because housing prices are pushed up due to lack of supply so that only the top 40 or 50% of people can actually get one and even they are straining their economics to make it happen in many cases
