Well real estate prices always correct to some degree. But what’s coming isn’t just a correction. We are talking the mother of all corrections. I don’t believe we’ve ever had a 50% correction in real estate prices before. We may see that for the first time in history. Housing affordability is at its lowest level since 1981… https://betterdwelling.com/canadas-real-estate-bubble-is-approaching-the-largest-in-history/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 1 minute ago, LaBamba said: We won’t have a future full of social programs if this isn’t dealt with. There is nothing even close to as big as this issue. This will dramatically change the quality of your life. all the graphs comparing inflation number to the G20 mean nothing. They don’t have a housing bubble. All your claims are baseless. Trust me, I’ve looked many times over the years for quality of life metrics increasing due to increased social spending and it doesn’t exist. It works if you use your oil wealth like Saudi does but we don’t have that. We have housing wealth. And the cons aren't the ones to deal with it (and no, that isn't suggesting the Liberals are). Again, any economic boost from a con government is short term, with long term negative repercussions. They simply don't improve economies long term, they deplete them. Also again, change for the sake of change is stupid. Purposely changing to something even worse than the status quo, is beyond stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are two leaders, one democrat; one republican, who know what’s right. Don’t support Pootin and his brutal invasion. Support Ukraine and its brave people. How about I think for myself... I've always done ok in life by doing that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A housing correction, inflation and rising interest rates after a near 3 year halt to the global economy beyond any government's control was avoidable..

This subject, as it pertains to Canada, is apparently a large hole in my knowledge of it. No matter what though, I will never accept tacit approval, one way or the other, of what the Nazi's did. 7 minutes ago, Sabrefan1 said: Bad timing. I just thanked you for the reading suggestions..... A bit quick on the trigger there. I'm sorry. We're both getting heated here. These books are not easy to read, nor are they easy to stomach. This is Eastern Europe - the Holocaust by bullets. Neighbours turning on neighbours and burning houses down with them inside. This part of history extends to Canada insofar as those same people coming to North America and starting families, while keeping connections back home. The war heroes celebrated in Ukraine today were almost all collaborating with the Nazis. The modern war heroes are also linked with neo-Nazi fascists. I've had the honour of speaking with a couple Holocaust survivors, and I asked them if they blame anyone for what happened. They told me it was more important to remember than to condemn. It certainly affected the way I approached my studies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's confusing at first glance, but the lower the number, the more corrupt. That makes Ukraine the second most corrupt in the region behind only Russia.

How do you think the Ukrainian people are feeling, especially in the occupied territories, right now? As I said to @Sabrefan1, that is Eastern Europe. We are not there. We should be able to express support for the Ukrainians and the war of resistance without having to co-opt the country's long and complicated connections to neo-fascism and neo-Nazism. Do you know what Speaker Rota should've done? Just avoid the subject. He just opened a bucket of worms with little to gain from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
