18·2 years agoPar for the fucking course. Remember how his crackhead brother cost Toronto nearly $100M in cancellation fees, wasted work, and then probably hundreds of millions more in lost productivity by writing a one page memo on mayoral letterhead cancelling Transit City?
It infuriates me that people think conservatives are good with money. They burn through hundreds of millions in utter and complete bullshit while championing ‘efficiencies’ and burning the system down from the inside.

Its advantage, strictly speaking, is that it is not correlated very much with stocks, bonds, real estate and other things people owe.
Not that the bot made a mistake, but this is wrong…
Gold drops like a rock when markets take a shit. It usually bounces back quickly – often before stocks recover, giving you a chance to buy cheap on the dip, and sell at a profit three months later, and pick up some of the stocks that haven’t recovered yet… But it VERY MUCH moves in sync with the market during times of crisis.
Tax the fuck out of these ghouls.
He wasn’t afraid of fucking around in downtown Ottawa for 3 weeks… but the finding out… THAT part he’s afraid of.
Can we just sentence him to get a university-level education? It will effectively keep him out of society for the rest of his life.
3·2 years agoI rarely ever use the brakes, even in the city – I’ve become accustomed to letting off the gas at the correct distance for the regenerative braking to bring the car to a stop at the line. There’s a good chance I might not replace the brakes for 10+ years.
Voter suppression is why the turnout was so low. For WEEKS prior to the election, all you saw in newspapers, TV, and internet was how dominating DoFo’s lead was.
Go check AirBnB for your nearest large city. Every one of those could be a home for someone.
Let me throw this out… My GF’s aunts and uncles want to have a “first time” party where they all try pot for the first time. I’ve made cookies and brownies in the past, with varying degrees of success, I guess depending on the quality of the effective ingredients.
Do you have any tips on what products would best be used for cooking/baking edibles like cookies or brownies? We’re just looking to have a laugh, get the munchies, and fall asleep. :)
We upgraded our furnace ahead of schedule because we kept having problems with the A/C. Our heating/cooling costs dropped by 55% over the following year. Moving the heat around is 4x more efficient than resistive heating.
Uh, how has he not been tried as a war criminal? Damn.
You deal with that by flattening the upward trend (or even reversing it a little) by adding more inventory. Corporate ownership of residential housing is a big thing, as is owning second and third homes as investment properties. My upstairs neighbour with a middle-management job and a stay at home wife owns the largest suite in my building, plus two rental condos. It’s way, way more common than you think.
The best explanation I’ve seen so far is that now that the abortion issue was crushed by a conservative supreme court in the USA, the next thing they’re trying to do is indoctrinate the youth, because church attendance is dwindling.
Of course, it doesn’t take long for that bullshit to bleed into Canada.
It’s time to double-down on the demand for free/cheap and secular education.
3·2 years agoBetter solution is to have the city install multiple chargers on his street, and treat them as parking-while-charging-only.
I’m not in Toronto, but the city installed a twin car charger across the street from my place, and I’d say it’s in use 50% of the time from 8am to 8pm. It’s rare someone would need to charge overnight unless they rolled in at near 0%.
I’ve been telling this to anyone who will listen…
At the federal level, any income, personal or corporate, from property rentals or short term rental of any single family residental property is taxed at the highest marginal rate, PLUS a surcharge of 1%, increasing at 2x the rate of inflation every year. All taxes raised from the surcharge go to federal housing programs.
At the provincial level, any property that isn’t your primary residence gets taxed at 1% of the total property value. The tax rate increases at 2x the rate of inflation every year. All taxes raised go to provincial housing programs, including rebates for first time home buyers.
At the municipal level, cities should be able to tax any property used as a short term rental at whatever rate they feel is fair. Also, any vacant property is taxed at least double the provincial rate.
This immediately stops individuals and companies from investing in single family residential properties, forces individuals and companies to divest their residential property portfolio as they become unprofitable as the tax rates increase, and slowly creates a steady flow of residential homes onto the market. It shouldn’t create a housing crash, it should stop and slowly reverse the upward trend of housing over the course of 5 to 10 years.
Please steal this idea.
I wish it I could say that it’s hard to forget that safety regulations are written in blood. Yet here we are.
Got any recommendations on teaching someone empathy, when they are clearly already a sociopath?
Short of the whole clockwork orange treatment?
I clearly need to get better weed then… I don’t see, feel, hear, taste, or smell anything that’s not there when I’ve had some gummies. All I get it a good night’s sleep.
