C'mon Canada

[Tony Stark]

It only strengthens their resolve that "communists" are after whitey

Nothing is going to change that.Tards are going rate.

You don't want to give that power to big corp. If the alt-right viewpoint was the "popular" thing at this point and the stock market was taking a shit, PayPal would be stealing remittances from immigrants instead.

Stated as an opinion I'm fine with that.The problem with free speech is stating opinions as facts.

If the below comes to pass and Ricter states Russia is not a state of terror (we're stretching it IMO), should paypal take his money?

It feels good when political "enemies" are punished but one's gotta consider PayPal are just being greedy assholes and hedging on pandering and that the public (for instance you in this case) would be supportive of their actions. Always gotta raise the question, what if "I'm a leftist hippy antivaxxer that is confused about GMOs?", "what if I believe there are only two genders?".

Cuddles4BS should be very pleased. His idol Justin Trudeau is stripping him from his rights, one day at a time. When he wakes up one day, all his rights have been taken away. Isn't he one of the ET trolls cheering Justin Trudeau as he impounded the trucks of the demonstrating truckers and totally, froze all their bank accounts? Realize, when Justin Trudeau takes away the rights of any Canadian, the same applies to you as well. You are not exempted and will suffer the same fate if you happen to be on the wrong side of your own government.

Did the "trucker" convoy fail, are surgeons still required to wear masks?

smalldik w/the braindead take per usual:

Trudeau pussied out from just clearing the bridge by force so decided to use a nuke instead. I was on Trudie's side and pretty much against the truckers up to this point. I'm not on the trucker's side now, but am very much against the .gov on this one.

It's sad how the left can be baited so easily, walked right into what the righties claimed, that he was an authoritarian, and just proved them right w/this shit. It will likely cost libs parliament and Canada may end up w/alt-righters in it.


I haven't followed super closely because "whitey aggrievement", but as far as I can tell it started as a workers' protest that got hijacked by anti-vaxxers and now anti-government/neo nazi types. I don't know how pervasive the latter is or if the media would just rather kill the 1st two by highlighting these elements. As far as I can tell, they've been fairly civil (no storming of capitol buildings) akin to tea partiers & occupy wall streeters.

Since righties are usually more effective w/their protests however, they're costing the economy billions (mostly in the bridge protests). Cops are default righties so are refusing to do their jobs to retake these places as they sympathize. Because Canada's quirky, Trudeau can't quelsh the protests because the provinces can't call in the military unless the PM calls in an emergency's act. So Trudeau's stuck w/putting in an emergency act to clear the bridge/streets. Rather than take the optics hit (which looks like 80% canadians would support), he's taking a page from Xi Jinping's playbook instead.

smalldik w/the braindead take per usual:

I don't think he understands Canada too well. Also, I've noticed he and a few others automatically assume ALL Canadians are liberals (false belief and far from the truth) when the fact is that Canada is not a two-party system like the United States.

Canada has about 5 or 6 main political parties and then another 12 smaller political parties spread out in the individual provinces.

• He probably gets confused when some here at the forum are putting down the GOP (Republican party) or putting down Trump to then in error believe they must be liberals in Canada.

Lets put it this way, if a political Liberal moved onto my street here in Canada...we would not lose any sleep about it but we probably wouldn't be greeting them with a cognac, ice cider and cheese. Yet, we will get along for the better of the country.

The media and some analysts have been posting these kind of stories for many years. All NA real estate will correct somewhat in a rising rate environment. However, centers like Toronto have aspects that make such corrective phases limited. Anyone who has no plans to sell within 3 years there is no issue here. In fact, the rental market has gone far higher then the housing market and this will be a factor if prices drop short term say 10-15%. The money people and corps can make already renting out is hugely profitable and almost endless customers at the moment. Demand is growing actually for a variety of reasons.

Great asset class to be in really I suppose you could own US stock markets and already dropped 19% this year ( you can't live in a stock ). Even better, if you sell at a capital gain ( and many are sitting on a huge capital gain ), it's 100% tax free if it's your principal residence.

Is the housing market in Canada finally folding over? I predicted it would in the past because it appeared to be at unsustainable levels in the major metro areas -- but I was proven wrong and prices kept rising.

Well now we have half a year of price decreases and a record price decrease in the last month.

Canadian home prices post record monthly decline in September: Housing index
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/canadia...-decline-in-september-housing-index-1.1835420

Home prices fell for a fifth consecutive month in September, breaking the previous record set in August, according to the Teranet–National Bank National Composite House Price Index.

In a report released Thursday, it found that home prices fell 3.1 per cent in September, compared to a month ago.

This marked the largest monthly decline since the index was first started in 1999, and shattered the previous record decline of 2.4 per cent in August.

The report found that the largest price declines were in Victoria (down 5.9 per cent), followed by Vancouver (3.5 per cent) and Hamilton (2.1 per cent).

The largest monthly decreases all took place in Ontario, with Peterborough, Ont. (down 11.8 per cent), Windsor, Ont. (5.4 per cent) and Belleville (5.1 per cent).

The index posted an annual gain of six per cent in September. In September, year-over-year increases were posted in all 11 cities tracked by the index.

That report says year over year prices up 6%, in a year where US stock markets dropped 17-27%. If people sell at a significant discount to today's prices where will they live ? Rents are through the roof ( like doubled in 5 years some communities ) you could own cheaper. Oh wait ... .

I smell Paypal stock dropping now. WTF is PayPal doing playing political advocacy?!? It's a fintech company. Don't "freeze" assets to make a political point. Just pay them their funds outstanding in their account, and close their account and ban them from the service. The FACK is wrong with PayPal? Sheesh!
