They don't want housing prices to fall, which affects every poor person regardless of disability or not. We simply fell for it again as Trudeau said the same thing, the Liberals will lie every time to get elected.

There are currently six trans people incarcerated in Quebec provincial prisons. Six. That’s 0.1 percent of the incarcerated population. There’s no data indicating how many of those people have or haven’t had bottom surgery, mind you. Regardless, it’s clear that we’re talking about a tiny fraction of people. This is a tactic from the anti-trans playbook that we’ve seen used over and over: taking an issue that affects a minuscule segment of the population, blowing it out of proportion and using it to roll back human rights protections.

If anyone can say they are a women and get moved to a women's prison then who wouldn't, I know I absolutely would, what percentage of men want to be locked up with men rather than women?

You're the top of the pecking order in a women's prison, you get to see things you don't in a men's prison, and theres perhaps opportunity for some action.

are more likely to fall into the lower income groups and less likely to be among employees making over $100,000 a year.

I'd like actual statistics presented in a sane way. Obviously if white people are predominant then it is more likely they would be one of the people making 100k or more, just as they will be more likely to be depressed with their job or suffer a fatal car accident from exhaustion.

I'd love to use it but virus total always flags it as a virus and I get too scared.

Fox News on cable TV for life?

Well how do you respond to housing in our largest cities nearing 100% of median income, or youth unemployment in our largest cities at 20%, or our overburdened medical system?

Is none of this in your eyes due to massively increasing immigration, which was done according to Mark Miller in order to hide falling per capita GDP?

Maybe you've never looked at any of these statistics, in which case I'd forgive your ignorance on the subject.

So we accept that our currency is being debased by an inflation index that barely tracks real inflation, as we buy half of all mortgage bonds federally to juice home values and running QE, but we want to ban algorithms that attempt to maintain profits?

If you don't want prices to rise then perhaps a lower inflation target makes more sense. Maybe even a law that wages automatically rise with inflation. But we all know they don't want that, they would need to actually raise taxes if they did that, and housing wouldn't turn into a giant ponzi scheme that artificially boosts GDP.

As an old home owner or what?

Food bank usage is way up, housing is crisis levels, youth unemployment is nearing 20%. At least the last time the youth had it this bad housing was still affordable.

Europe ignored its own procurement laws to choose Microsoft in the first place.

Imagine trying to build them when a lot of land costs a million dollars and the house costs 300k; due to greenbelt that never used to exist, zoning that was a lot less regressive, and developer taxes were a tiny fraction what they are now.

We need to either lower the barriers or we need to stop the outrageous growth, as the missing middle podcast always says.

Say we overhauled our firefighting and massively expanded controlled burns would that help, or would it just draw out the smoke inhilation at lower levels?

The financialization of housing is just monetary policy. The Bank of Canada gutting rates and doing QE is meant to entice people to sell their homes, and prices rise until people do it, in which case a mortgage is created as new cash in the economy and the house is securitized as a loan.

This then feeds into aggregate demand, to attempt to derive a 2% inflation target using an index that contains subjective hedonic adjustments to lower the value of goods, substitutions so as consumers buy cheaper food the CPI changes. The CPI also excludes housing appreciation but includes mortgage interest, so the Bank of Canada can print money to buy half of all mortgage bonds to raise home values, while effectively lowering inflation and depressing interest rates to further inflate home values.

So really our government is simply antagonistic to renters and non-home owners, using financial repression to milk them for fake GDP growth.
