  • Ah yes, an executive director of a church writing an opinion piece on why we need more fossil fuels burning the earth faster and filled with hyperbole on the way we’ve thrown open Canada’s doors to all the immigrants who are stealing our houses and health care. Such quality.

    The Beaverton has more valid takes.




  • As of this week, according to the latest MLS stats circulating on industry social media, there are now more than an astounding 32,000 active residential real estate listings in the GTA, not even counting never-lived-in units. This is the most in many years, perhaps ever, and has created the largest disparity the city has seen between supply and demand.

    So then reduce the prices.

    You can’t call it a collapse, complain about all the supply you have, refuse to reduce prices, and rally to the praises of free-market capitalism. The market has spoken. You have overvalued your property. Now give us houses and take your loss.



  • The left is defined as putting the collective state first, while the right is defined by individualism before all else. The extreme right eventually advocates for leadership and control by the “superior” individuals that rise through that individualism, which is essentially the belief that it’s the strong’s right to rule, regardless of whether you define strength to be wealth, intelligence, social clout or otherwise. The extreme left eventually advocates for the total supremecy of the state, seeing any level of social deviancy as damaging to their collective society. These are tankies: the “states can do no wrong” crowd.

    Unfortunately, both binaries of the political spectrum are prone to authoritarianism once you go far enough. It’s almost like the real issue is extreme ideals that leave no room for nuance and understanding.

    I used to consider myself extremely radically left, before I stumbled across the absurdity of the Tankies that permeate certain areas of Lemmy. And I mean, as far as Western politics is concerned I am absurdly leftist. Just not that kind of leftist



  • It just makes me sad that you seem to believe the things you say.

    C’mon man, we’ve been through this song and dance. You are perpetuating lies that have been fed to you by people who realized that it’s easier to stoke fear than build unity. Just because you believe it doesn’t mean it is anything but misinformation.

    I know I tore into you earlier, but watching you continue to lick the boots of the people who are hurting you is just sad.






  • Weirdly, I know for a fact I’ve upvoted a number of posts today, but my search on this ONLY shows my downvotes?

    I definitely down vote more than I upvote, though. It’s habitual to think “that is fucked up and really shouldn’t be here,” but a lot less habitual to hit an up on every mildly neutral to positive comment that, tbh, deserves it. It’s eye opening to have all my downvotes laid out in front of me. Though still weird that the ups I know for certain exist aren’t showing.



  • Corporations should be allowed to lie and abuse people who aren’t knowledgeable or practiced enough to avoid it, because they deserve it?THAT’S your take?

    You know, I knew I recognized that name from somewhere. You’re that one who was trolling around here pre-election spreading misinformation that I got into an argument about over your completely insane perspective on the Liberals destroying Canadian identity. I’m glad I get to share a message with you post election, so I can point, proudly, to the way Canada happily rallied together under a Liberal banner, sporting a national togetherness that we certainly haven’t seen since the selfish, Conservative nutjobs started doing their damnedest to sow division and tear us apart to their benefit before and through the Covid era. I’m not shocked that, in the brief 5 minutes I gave your account to figure out why I recall your name, I saw a majority of your posts filled with vitriol and hatred, while you continuously deny objective reality and dismiss everyone who disagrees with you as being intellectually stunted. Losing the election and watching Canadian’s rally together must really be shaking your world view, and since the only real responses are to adapt and grow, or lash out and blame the world, it really is no wonder you’re here, spreading hate.

    Your completely ethically bankrupt and sociopathic take on the topic at hand here doesn’t even deserve a response, but I’m giving you one for the satisfaction of myself and everyone who works to make this world a better place while people with your perspective justify abusive practices and beliefs: fuck you. You should be embarrassed just thinking it, let alone typing it out. Get off social media, stop treating the people you interact with like garbage - if your posts here are any indication of how you speak to people, you are a truly reprehensible piece of shit - get out of your hate-filled bubble, and at least try to experience the world from a perspective other than the one that bred this abhorrent, inexcusable take. Or, just fuck off.
