You couldn't even see it in January.

You're STILL defending the libs every chance you get.

I love how you always play this game of 'oh i was complaining about this 25 years ago' when you very obviously were not and can't answer how that matches your actions today.The only thing you likely complained about decades ago was that the gov't wasn't giving you hand outs fast enough

Millions upon millions of human being saw and have watched dysfunction and chaos approaching and arriving. I love how you guys are all suddenly woke to it. It matches what you imagine being woke does to a person.

I can see how the sort of person who defends a growing income gap or less transparency or could care less about the environment would characterize anyone who'd complain or try to do something about these the way you do.  You think you're unique? I've heard it all before.

Acutally he did go through that phase a little while back, but he seems to have quit 

but yes - the 'but im' actually conservative' types are pretty sad.  Especially the "I'd vote conservative if they elected mike cheong"  conservatives.

You mean defending all the 'conervatives' who insist the govt should do something about the cost of housing? IOW interfere with the Free Market?

Like the local dotards who always vote Tory because 'they'll give us more grant money'?

The entiore problem boils down to some people have access to and will pay you $1 million for your home, and you'd be a fool to turn it down. Your great grandparents would've refused to pay absurd mortgages and rents, taken their whole families and camped out in Hoovervilles in front of govt offices all over the country, not giving a shit if that was 'leftist' or 'rightwing', but because it would get action.

No... sigh, sit down we'll try to explain it again.  Here - put down your soother for a minute and try to pay attention.....

The gov't is currently HEAVILY MASSIVELY interfering with the free market on many levels, provincially federally municipally, etc. They create massive red tape and burdens to  prevent the market from doing it's job.

They then ARTIFICIALLY increase the population beyond what it can support with infrastructure.

So - what we're talking about isn't adding gov't interference, it's looking at how to mitigate and reduce it.

You see - the way math works is that if you have a lot of something, and you reduce that something, then you have less of something.

Is that more clear for you? Here - have  your crayons back.

Exactly how is the federal govt 'interfering' with housing market? The red tape you speak of is 99.9% directly from municipal govts.

As I said too many people with too much money. Headlines today include one about paying $195,000 for a parking spot in Whistler BC.

When is the last time you attended a local APC meeting?  I spent the last 4 years on mine reducing red-tape and increasing density.

No, we do that to juice our property values. You figure APC members don't put their own interests first?

It's the truth. You do trust me right?

No, we don't.

Think about it - the increase in housing prices has been one of the biggest thorns in the libs side for years. They could win craptonnes of votes by solving that problem. They are losing votes because that problem is very serious right now.

So why in the hell would they DELIBERATELY do something that is going to wind up gettitng them kicked out of power?  You have to be at least 8 different kind of dumb to think that for a single moment.

They bring in lots of people because in the SHORT term it increases revenues and makes it look like the economy is doing ok. Not because you want higher home prices that people can't afford for chrissake.

C'mon admit it, you really don't have the first clue what an APC is, what it does and especially what it doesn't do.

You claimed the libs were bringing in people to jack the prices of homes.   Now you're trying to change the subject?

So I take it that you/re admitting you were wrong and look stupid, and that's why you'd like to discuss something else.

See - this is why nobody believes what you say.

Still talking to that mirror i see  

I get it - i said it was a problem that the libs were raising the population artificially, and you said it was to inflate housing prices, and now you're desperate to change the channel because you feel like an !diot after i've explained why that's not true.

You shouldn't - you were an !diot before i explained it to you as well. 

Go sit in your corner kiddo - the adults are talking

Anyway as i noted there is indeed much the fed gov't can do on the subject.

So, given how ridiculously obvious it was you didn't have a clue what you were talking about I figured it would be fun to fu ck with your head a little.  Easier than shooting fish in a barrel.

Yeah - except i never said that.

I said the market is heavily massively interferred with right now and it's all levels of gov't.

I then said federally for example the liberals are artificially increasing our population taster than we can build infrastructure,

To which you replied that they do that to inflate prices.  So..... yeah.  They don't.

Like i said - i get it. You said something REALLY stupid and you regret it and you're trying to change the channel. IT's a pretty common trick for you. Maybe try saying smart things for a change?

I swear - you and herbie are so dense you make lead look like it'd float on water.

 

Lets recap - i'll go slow

The real estate development industry is heavily regulated by all levels of gov't leaving it massively regulated.

In  addition, the population is being increased artificially by the feds, who are  in charge of immigtation

No, they are not doing that to drive up the price of houses

Pretty simple stuff, even for you,

No they let us do this at the APC level now. Its a hoot. You should join one and see.

Which raises the question, what, if anything, are you doing personally to help address the need for housing?

Nothing I hope, because you don't have a freakin clue.

We're talking about a specific thing - so lets see your cite that millions and millions of Canadians saw that specific circumstance coming for decades now ':)

You can't - because of course it never happened   Conservatives saw it when justin was elected but that was 7 years ago.

I can see where a liar who will say anything regardless of how ridiculous to try to make himself look relevant would say that but frankly the only things you've 'heard before' are the voices in your head.  These are pretty much time specific things.

The actual thing i said specifically with regards to real estate

The gov't is currently HEAVILY MASSIVELY interfering with the free market on many levels, provincially federally municipally, etc.

 

YUP - NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE AT ALL!!! ROFLMAO!!!!

Well - not that we needed it but one more instance of proving you're a chronic and habitual liar

Um no - no i think you'll find that the feds have the sole power of immigration.  At the end of the day you can't bring in an immigrant without federal approval.  There are no other groups who get to let people in without federal say so,  No, councils, no regional districts, no planning commissions.

If you thought anyone else controlled immigration into canada then i'm afraid you need ask your doctor about your medication levels. And remember - the voices are not your friend

This is the point at which it's clearly obvious you don't have a clue what's going on.  I guess you must think there's a big vast conspiracy that we're all plugged into with instructions coming dispatched from the CBC/PMO.
