It's one thing for you to dislike Nationalist. That's still no way to talk about someone's daughter. Once again, how old are you?

Whoa whoa there. 

My comment was and is about how he will treat his tenants and his daughter after the conservative loss. Read his initial post and my follow up post and stay out of the gutter.

I’m proud of my fellow Canadians today, whatever party they voted for.  
 

Well, except BQ voters….  how does one vote for separatists and think they will have good representation in parliament?   Oh and the 1% PPC.  They’re just nuts.

I think we'll be back in an election in 2027, when? if? The GOP get decimated in the mid-terms and Trump's ability to be Trump is neutered. If he makes it that long. 

Right now PP can't escape being a Canadian version of Trump. 

If the CPC is smart they'll try and look to unite for the good of the country. The country has spoken. This is not time for temper tantrums, like I saw from that Ontario MP Jamil Jivani. 

 

There is the other side of the coin too. 

If the economy in the US starts booming, and Trump dramatically reduce or even abolish the income tax for all Americans (which he had recently announced).....he may not be president in 4 years.....but, wouldn't his  successor continue what he started?  

It could be VANCE, who'll succeed him.  Although he's the gentle version - the "good cop" to Trump's "bad cop."   Same mold.  Same mind-set. Same vision.

 

Given the Liberal's track record on how they treat businesses and entrepreneurs in this country, strangling them with bureaucracy - and reluctance to go forward with our energy plans - not to mention the senseless spendings - I have the feeling we'll all be weeping around 2027. 

 

If Trump doesn't relent, it's possible that by then, we'll be debating about a REFERENDUM on becoming the 51st state.

WE can make deals with other nations.   Sure. 

Deal trades won't do much good......if we tie the hands of our businesses and make it hard for them to compete.

Bottom line, for housing , is that all houses that are for sale....sell.  Someone has the money to buy so a red herring in housing is for sure. If you cannot buy, maybe a few less southern vacations or make do with that car you have now.

Carney has international business experience and PP has nothing but governemtn teat sucking experience...even his own constituents came to realize that.

So you now have 4 to 5 years wiping your tears while Canada grows and becomes independent of the US.

Your bitterness is overwhelming you LOL

Sucks to be you I guess LOL

 

 

 

 

What a short sighted analysis of the housing crisis.

 

Lol - would people sell their houses if buying or renting one would be too expensive?   

You think people who cant a afford a house have been going to vacations overseas?   or to the USA?  

It's easy to say make-do with the car you have now......you think all people who want a car, buy it just because they want a new one? 🤣   You think everyone  buy brand new cars?

Just like with appliances - how can you make do with a car that is broken?  And more expensive to fix?

Can you still buy second hand fridges?  Chances are - if a fridge is working, people are hanging on to it!

What do you understand by healing and uniting?

 

Whether I like it or not, Carney is my Prime Minister now.  Am I happy about this?   NO.   Because I know Poilievre would've done a better job at being Prime Minister.  The pro-Carney, don't agree with my view.   That's life.

What good will it do to keep whining about Carney winning?  Life in Canada is hard already as it is.....thanks to Trudeau.

 

I prefer to give it the benefit of a doubt and see what Carney do about our situation. 

Hey, if  a situation you can't control  hands you a lemon - try to make a lemonade.  If it's still yuck - you'll get a chance to throw it!  That's where I'm coming from.

 

There's another time.   Another chance. 

 

My religious belief,  also makes it easy for me to accept it.   Just as God has allowed for Trump to win - so did He allow Carney.

Look, I am saying that houses sell, that is a fact. Prices are going up bu they still sell. Someone is buying.

As for vacations, travel is at record setting levels so yes, if you need a house, use the travel money to get one. (exception, travel to the US is low now becasue of Trump but overseas is up)

My point is, when I wanted a house, I had to make decisions on what was important and more important. I did without to save for the down payment. As a percentage of my income to my down payment it was pretty close to what it is now. I even had a 17% interest payment years to work through,  but did it. Also, there is no law, constitution that insist you are guaranteed to own a house. You need to decide, pleasure of vacations and good times or  the agony of owning a house and all its expenses and issues.

Many folks are forced to sell houses that they can't afford anymore!   people are losing jobs!

Why on earth do we have tent cities, the likes we've never seen before in Canada?

 

But - there aren't many homes for-sale signs.  All you have to do is walk in your neighborhood.  Those who aren't forced to sell, are staying put!  There's nowhere else to go.

Many people went crazy and over bid for houses during the covid crisis and now that the mortgage is coming up, they are forced to re-evaluate.

The unemployment rate is the same as it has been for a long time... a non player in this discussion.

As for tent cities....there have always been homeless. They are homeless for one reason or another and mostly becasue they are unable to work or do not want to work.  Those folks have never been a player in the housing market. If you are attempting to say there is no low cost rentals well, the reason may be that who wants to build and pay to have built housing that thy will have to take care of forever without any return on their investment? You wouldn't.

Point is, which you are seemingly unable to comprehend, there are houses for sale and they are selling so, someone is buying.

The US is on the verge of running out of consumer goods. Their consumer confidence is at its lowest point since COVID.

betsy...I don't think Flyer cares. He has his real estate investments and is comfy with that. I'm in the same boat...but I DO care.

Sure...I can give my kids homes for cheap...as he can I suspect...but I've taught my kids to be independent. They WANT to build their own means, as I did. The problem is, to buy a new home in the GTA, one needs well over $100,000 down payment (probably closer to $200,000) and even then the monthly mortgage payments are about $4000.00. Yet their incomes are nowhere high enough to afford that plus insurance and bills.

When we bought our first house, I made about $3000/month clear. While prices have more than quadrupled since then, salaries have maybe increased by $500/month. On top of that, taxes have gone through the roof and inflation has gone insane.

So Flyer flippantly says...'Well they should learn to save.' I would ask...save for what? The impossible dream?

Libbie mentality...I find it shallow and frankly...destructive by its very nature.

Totally agree. I went through the same thing. 20 years of a low income job, side gigs, anything to feed the family and pay the mortgage. Lots of sacrifices but worth it.

@betsy - See? These Libbies have no idea what the young today are facing...nor do they care. Oh they know that the prices and mortgages are way out of reach in reality...but they just don't care. They have their "stuff"...and fck the young.

Canada is one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in. That's never been necessary. But our "leaders" have regulated and taxed Canada to that point. There is no reason Canada should be so expensive EXCEPT for Libbie doctrine. We have the resources and means to make Canada a bastion of success and welcoming for our young. But we sh1t all over our greatest treasures for fear and hatred.

These are our great Canadian "patriots". Those who had the opportunity to make a home in Canada...and fck the young.
