Are we going to either ensure people get paid enough to afford houses, or build homes that people can afford to live in?

No?

Then no, it won't get fixed. Right now, the market is making too much money off of exacerbating the problem, and the idea of government providing solutions went out of fashion in 1992.

This and Marathon were why I almost didn't make it into University.

What's interesting, or frustrating, is that, on the flip side, American progressives had to endure years of Democrats telling them how things couldn't be done because they didn't have enough support for Republicans.

...and then Trump just does things.

We've been using "bribe developers" to fill the gap since we stopped building public housing almost fifty years ago. It's never worked, and it isn't going to start now

Maybe, and hear me out, here, maybe governments should just build homes directly instead of bribing developers to do it?

The market has no interest in solutions whent there's very good money to be made on the problem.

We can increase taxes. It's an option.

Poillevre knows that if he doesn't do shit like this, the rank-and-file CPC members will dump him for someone with stronger Nazi bona fides.

The problem is that, if he wants to be elected, what will get him an easy majority is just not not being Nazi. Chong or Charest could have beaten Trudeau handily.

This is the problem with courting the Nazi vote: it results in your path to power being Nazification of the rest of the electorate, and your PR ends up being low-brow Triumph of the Will, while your election sloganeering is dogwhistling. Personally, I hope he gets sent packing again and the CPC splits in two.

There's a name I've not heard in a long time..

For a tax that barely affected the income of people who were already very, very rich, they sure did bitch about about it.

Keep your receipts. If you don't keep your receipts, that's on you.

Real estate has been a free ride for investors for at least two decades and it's made people homeless and broken the financial future of at least two generations. I don't particularly care if house-rich boomers and elder Xers have to keep receipts.
