Bob Long Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 12 minutes ago, Bure_Pavel said: Low interest rates and high inflation due to printing of money during covid supercharged the housing market How did the inflation rate supercharge housing? You need to explain that one. 12 minutes ago, Bure_Pavel said: and now low supply and FOMO keep the train rolling and probably will for some time. If interest rates remain high enough for long enough I think the market will show some cooling, but they are already predicting cuts starting in June and likely start cuts before reaching anywhere near 2% inflation. Housing prices have been on a huge growth curve well before covid or recent inflation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 19 minutes ago, 112 said: I strongly believe the reality is contrary to what your assumptions are. People on disability programs have much to offer the country and the world, but their potential is hamstrung by the brutal realities of living in poverty, which is what someone on a provincial assistance program is doing. The Canada Disability Benefit, which was announced years ago but which only comes into effect next July, offers a maximum of $200 per month to eligible persons. The poverty line in, say, Vancouver is approximately $2,300*month, while the rate of provincial disability assistance is roughly $1,450*month. This is to say: with the new money being promised to people with disabilities, this group is still living $650*month below what is considered impoverished. Even for someone who is not actually disabled and should not be in receipt of the referenced funds, they're not living a very good life. I also absolutely think there are significantly fewer 'freeloaders' on provincial assistance than you believe there to be. Full time minimum wage salary in June will be $36,192/year or $29,967 take home after taxes slight over the poverty line. People with disabilities who cant work should get more there are a lot of government programs that offer assistance based on low income not disability based that people take advantage of. One really bad one recently started is the government provided opioid program, where police reports are showing a good chunk is just ending up in the hands of drug dealers.

Housing prices have been on a huge growth curve well before covid or recent inflation Low interest rate and high inflation together is fairly rare as one usually counter acts the other, covid created a situation where both were present creating the optimal environment for housing investment. Housing and Businesses are great investments during time of high inflation as they adjust typical with inflation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have even dated a Korean girl or two. “Ann yeong, Nonun aluum dahwo, Kamsa hamnida, Bogo sheepoyo”. My favourite is “Sarang hae”. That usually gets their attention….

King Heffy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 1 hour ago, Spring Salmon said: Yes Parksville is nice. A little too many old people though. Anyway no, I will not vote for Gord. He is a complete disappointment, just like his boss Jag. It's good to see the polls say the island is turning blue (well except a couple seats around Victoria). The north island MP sees the writing on the wall and has announced she will not be seeking re-election and Alistair MacGregor is in full desperation mode on twitter crying about Pierre. You better hope your wife has a lot of lib friends you can convince Sad to see a poster on here celebrating the amount of neighbours who are willing to elect Nazi vermin to run this country. The civilized majority of Canadians do not see anywhere turning blue a good thing while an evil terrorist lover is running the CPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it once and I got yelled at. I sorta get it - I don't think these dinner talks are as productive as you think they are. You were posting a bunch of links from a Conservative MP yesterday. I have not seen you post once from a NDP MP, nor I have I seen you post anything from any prominent trusted journalist. Steve Paikin would be a prime example - very trustworthy journalist from Ontario. Instead you post Justin Trudeau's Ego and expect us to take you seriously.

It was pretty important so I posted even the HOC feed. Of course the NDP and Liberal feeds on Twitter didn’t bother to post anything on it, so of course I had to use a Conservative MP feed.

Sapper Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 6 hours ago, Bob Long said: well, now it begins. PP says the election will be about "the carbon tax" and now says goodbye to pharmacare, because private plans. With the lines now starting to be drawn, it should be a lot easier for anyone annoyed with Trudeau considering switching to Skippy to see what they are gaining or losing. So PP is now on record saying because someone might get their pills free from government vs a private plan that person would be paying for .... He's apposed to pharmacare So this is a settled debate now Conservatives have officially taken the position that pharmaceutical profits come before Canadians and that in insured Canadians need to pay no matter what to protect those foreign multinational pharmaceutical companies Absolutely disgusting ..... That's some USA no health care for you crap right there Canada needs a Canadian Prime Minster and not a Maga USA plant .... PP could have come up with any number of false narratives that didn't sell out Canadians for multinational profits.....he's so Maga he can't resist We won't recognize Canada when he's down ... It will be a different country on every level .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Bob Long said: But that only happened for a short time. Housing prices have been increasing long before covid. The biggest reasons for housing prices is municipal zoning, NIMBY'ism and foreign/investment companies buying up housing stock (and developers happy to see increasing profit margins). A side of not building public housing for ~30 years (multiple liberal and con governments and also the responsibility of the provinces) and *poof* out of control housing. Cheap interest rates made it "affordable" for more people to be in the market, but the prices and the conditions for those prices have been coming for a LONNNNNNG time before Jr won any elections and most of which have little to nothing to do with federal jurisdiction.

There was also no will among owners or government to put controls on the equity balloon. He's trying very hard to fit PP economic theory into a two year period to blame Trudeau for something. I still want to know how PP will lower my payments, none of the PP supporters seems to have an answer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the exact opposite of shrinkflation. How exactly did competition increase? There’s literally 3 companies that own the entire market. Also, data getting cheaper has zero to do with any federal government policy. That article literally says they are looking at price decreases based on increased data, not on actual lower costs. And jumping from one company to another just to get a promo rate isn’t really cutting costs by 50%. More lies and spin from your federal government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudeau signed no cheques. This was done by a committee or department, like all government contracts are. Anyone who does this or consistently says it was this person; no black or white needs to stop and check to see if they're perpetuating the lie or not.
