There is nothing positive about higher pollution levels for humanity.

At various points, the US as a nation has been one of worst offenders in using overdone or unnecessary violence to settle disputes. Some of those events would be classified as state sponsored or organized terrorism by people who suffered as a result. If you want a more peaceful world, Americans...

The Canadian Conservative party just declined Achilles choices. Kelly Leitch, who was supposedly "coming up strong", was viewed by most Canadians as extremist in nature and got only 7% of the vote. Kevin O'Leary who was perhaps a more reasonable candidate decided he could not win this race ( no...

Good question, they recently downgraded some Canadian banks for no good reason, as they did in 2013 as well. Moody's themselves appears to have a horrible balance sheet.

I see equal or more risk in pricier US cities. What you need to ask yourself is that given the high prices to rent or own in Metro Toronto, which is a serious deterrent to moving here, why do we still gain 120K people every year ? There are obviously forces in play you aren't aware of. Any deep...

More likely you'd be upset about the return on capital I get owning a place in Toronto. I have zero risk on my investment, the point is having a nice location and comfortable living space. Many people pay a fair bit to rent places like this. Any price appreciation is a bonus. This is what I've...

You might be surprised to know then that the vast majority of Canadians chose to live here because we believe this is the best country in the world. And when Americans like yourself play the part of an "ugly American" it tends to ring hollow since 2008 when your economy imploded and your social...

You seem obsessed with late term abortions, which are a pretty rare event afaik. But I can ask questions too. Hypothetically, if your wife or daughter was pregnant and decided to have an abortion after "x" months, would you support them in their decision ? Would you take drastic measures like...

I believe I made a mistake initially thinking you have some degree of intelligence. Now it makes sense why you supported Trump, why you think the Catholic church is supportive of women and their reproductive rights, why you think a Canadian like me is a "Democrat". American women do have to be...

That is something the medical community can decide provided they avoid the negatives of overly religious influences. A prospective mother can consult with impartial people who do know the facts and decide for themselves what option is best for them. My opinion only matters in

The only thing that matters on this is that Planned Parenthood provides a service that many women in the nation want. In terms of subsidies, the reason subsidies are needed is because people at risk can't get life altering procedures due to financial stress or overly zealous religious factions...

What on earth are you talking about ? 50% of society is women, and the majority of women consider the Catholic Church to be a negative influence on the planet. Of those who do believe in the Catholic Church, the majority of those believe the Catholic Church's public policy on women's issues is...

Society can't let ignorant people unduly influence the lives of others. You may have ridiculously outdated ideas about abortions but your opinion on this simply doesn't matter. You aren't female and even if hypothetically you had a daughter that got pregnant, society has to protect her rights...

"Jem" thinks income taxes can be eliminated entirely. That's how delusional he is.

My comments appeared on March 30th, 2016 when AAPL was rising to $110. AAPL is now $147. If you took my advice and bought AAPL, feel free to sell the shares now and lock in your profit.

Metro Toronto has a far more diverse community then most areas of Canada and I don't see a "lot of racism" here. So if we are talking about why Toronto's housing market is expensive, one factor is that this is a great place for many immigrants with families to live. And the immigration numbers...

The last crash occurred early 1990's. Homes were dirt cheap in Toronto. I owned a home during that major correction. However, it didn't really impact on my life and long run I am way ahead.

There comes a point where the bottom line is you are discussing issues with people who lack common sense and are totally wrapped up in political themes. What can one really say to someone who believes the measure of Trump's success is whether he build a $21 Billion wall for symbolic purposes. I...

I'm not sure that expensive housing to Toronto and Vancouver is a problem. In theory, that should be an incentive for businesses and people to move to areas like where you live. Some have. The foreigners impact on Toronto is overstated, it might be relevant this year or so but it's more the...

What I heard was that Home Capital engaged in fraud and has since fired two people blamed for that fraud. Home Capital can entirely disappear and have no impact on our housing market. All that would do is mean the riskiest buyers cannot buy a home. There is no shortage of buyers in Canada's top...
