I've heard that one of the reasons airBNB was successful wasn't due to costs (outside of the initial burst) but because the sheer lack of hotels in many major cities. I do know that there is almost no hotels in downtown Toronto despite the sheer number of convention centres and tourist attractions. No way a tourist or business person is going to book a hotel on the edge of the city when everything they're doing is in the downtown area.

This is another area that the NIMBYs have been screwing over people and certain groups have been discreetly taking advantage of people.

Either way, both problems would be solved quite easily if supply was simply greater. Hotels shouldn't be blocked from being built where they're needed the most, nor should any group have the power to block housing development unless if it's actually unsafe to do so for some reason. This is why it's actually cheaper to buy a house in downtown Tokyo than it is within 100km of Toronto. And I'm talking about a detached house in Tokyo, not a condo.

Another part for really hoping that the government won't let this chance go, since the US automakers are already isolated only selling domestically built vehicles in the US, further isolating them by making them impossible to import into Canada would help crush their industries while Canada's becomes more internationally competitive by adopting EU regulations.

Hell, since EU regulations are tighter than US regulations, we'll still meet US regulations for the most part, so once the changeover is done, we can still sell over there while they can't sell over here after the tariff situation is over. A flat-out win-win for Canada and lose-lose for the US.

If the government is going to get more involved, they should build more, not force owners to fix their prices in a volatile economy.

Instead, the rent should be managed by the markets, which will be beneficial to all renters if government built supply can beat the demand. We shouldn't stop building until we reach such a point.

Honestly, EU regulations for vehicles are far safer for all involved. Adopting them in whole, even if it'll take time to implement them, would help greatly as well as opening new markets. Not to mention it'll block American cars from our market without having to rely on tariffs in the future.

This is exactly the perfect time to implement such regulations, and I hope the government will introduce laws about it once the election is over.

It's probably not an issue of balls, but that her supporters just don't pay attention. The same happened in Ontario. When reporters interviewed Ford supporters during the election, they just said "he seems to have done well enough" despite all the lawsuits and fraud and other serious issues that his opposition kept yelling about.

This is nothing new. Charities and related tax write-offs are one of the favoured techniques of the rich to avoid paying their taxes for over a thousand years. The fact that such an obvious and well used loop-hole hasn't been closed is simply proof that those with the power to close such loop-holes have zero intent in doing so because they are likely personally benefiting from them.

A collective problem that crosses all levels of government and for every side, not an issue of any specific government.

"Offensive and false" when we have a publicly available recording of her doing exactly that on her province's dime while representing her province in a field she has nothing to do with. Premiers hold zero power outside of their provinces, and anything related to international relations is the responsibility of the federal government, not the provincial one.

She not only overstepped her bounds going to the US, did it on her people's tax dollars, only to do an act of both treason and election interference on the meantime. This, along with the countless illegal and corrupt activities she's been inacting within her own province, she should be investigated by the RCMP and CSIS and be crushed under the full weight of the book.
