Thank you. I'm literally just trying to fix food banks not having enough food and a handful of people are insisting I've suggested this will replace Loblaws.

Of course they are. The entire world is cashing in on our real estate market and leaving Canadians out in the cold.

I used to be a mortgage broker. There are Chinese monoline lenders that exclusively lend to students/immigrants; and do not require income verification. Meanwhile down payment verification (making sure the $ wasn't illegal etc) is ridiculously easy to get around. So that means when it comes time to debt service the mortgage, Canadians are at a huge dis-advantage because foreign buyers using those lenders can essentially bypass debt servicing entirely.

If those foreign buyers default than the property belongs to the bank, aka the chinese government.

I've got nothing against people moving to Canada to become Canadian. But foreign governments are using Canadian real estate to park their money and it's hurting Canadians; including immigrants.

They've done nothing to earn it, nor given me any confidence they'd know what to do with one.

Exactly. Like Jagmeet's solution to housing was a low interest mortgage for first time home buyers... which does nothing to make down payments cheaper or rentals more affordable.

Just because they had to work with the Liberals and make compromises to pass their programs doesn't mean they're LPC lite

That's not at at all what I think they're LPC-lite. It's their culture.

They'll get a majority when they run on policies that deserves one. Dental care and first time home buyers credits are tepid. Run on massive infrastructure investments in public transit, guaranteed housing, comprehensive healthcare, food security, and upskilling.

NDP may be it's own party but it's current leadership has an LPC aftertaste.

Making America Great Again!

What you said:

typical grocery store

What I said:

IMO every city should have public cafeterias

We're not talking about the same thing. You're arguing with yourself.

You're the one inserting the assumption that this has to become the only source of food for people.

I said:

or source through a local network.

If you can't read those words and comprehend them than why would I consider anything you have to say?

We're talking about 2 different things. I have zero interest in debunking all your strawmans and assumptions about a completely different concept.

Yes my second paragraph alleged as much. Not that you read that far of course.
