Justin writing checks to Ukrain when families are struggling


Was listening to the radio…this shyt is hitting cacs hard…middle income Canadians calling into the radio heated

Imagin any family under 40k

For any 1st world country canada has the worst transit hands down. If you don't live downtown toronto you need a car no other "world class city" is that the case.

I remember years ago I worked in scarborouh and lived in thornhill. It would take me 2.5 hours on the bus to get to work

folks live in philly and take the train into nyc - hour and a half every day

 

[MikelArteta]

I’ve traveled a lot, thankfully. Canada is just ‘OK’.

transit is woat
house prices woat.

yeah other cities are expensive, london , manhattan but you cna live a hour away and find something affordable but toronto? Even places like peterborough will have you broke

healthcare?

wages?

LILLEY: Trudeau reducing sentencing requirements for serious gun crimes

Smuggling illegal guns and selling them on the street is a big problem, so why is Trudeau dropping sentencing requirements for these crimes?

yeah Ontario seems like a pretty dysfunctional province, from public transit, to construction to just everyday licenses and permits. The beauracracy is over the top and they're all about forms and fees that accomplish nothing. I hated dealing with that when I was there. Sucks up a lot of money and produces little for it.

And despite all the dysfunction, the plurality of the voters supported Doug. Says so much about this place…

the Liberals were just as dysfunctional(some cases moreso) though

all these forms and fees seem to be a cultural thing in the country regardless of party(especially in ONtario), maybe the NDP would require less I assume

Re: Liberal dysfunction- very true; they’re neoliberals really

our transit system is based on middle-city America cities and we never even bothered to transition to something else amidst expansion. nikkas had them BUM ASS old streetcars back in 2014 and swiftly replaced em with newer ones, but the run times are still slow as shyt and you might find a regular bus runs faster

we finna be a BLUE province for a long time

We’d be fukked under any political party, just in different ways.

It’s time to leave Canada. Our politicians aren’t interested in solving our issues.

People keep saying that. The answer is no. We would not be in this situation with a government that believed in monetary policy. “The budget will balance itself”. People voted for this idiocy. Printed way too much money because Justin and Freeland know nothing about economics. Look at housing under JT. Real estate makes up over 10% of our GEP. What does RE produce exactly? Can we export it to other nations? No. We have gotten away from producing shyt. We have oil and yet look at the gas prices. Dude is garbage and I been telling you this for years. You are poorer under JT if you are middle class or upper middle class.

Blame Freeland for embracing MMT. Especially for a country like Canada which isn’t the global reserve currency.
