Why are they trying to build more houses when we have a surplus of units? Builders aren’t building anymore because their existing inventory isn’t selling.

They won’t drop prices because of greed and using real estate as investments. So now we have immigrants with low-paying jobs trying to buy homes with inflated price tags.

Either lower prices of homes or start paying workers more so they can afford homes.

Because he has no opposition. Ontario wants better leadership. Only 20% of eligible voters voted Ford into a Majority. But the NDP and LIBs can’t prop up a strong, charismatic leader that people can get behind - for the past 8 years!

And people 💩 on teachers for “getting summers off”

At least teachers work. These politicians just pad their pockets with bribes while passing legislation that only benefits the rich.

Could never sleep properly before kids. Now, I’m tired all the time and could fall asleep in seconds, on any surface.

True true! I’m just old enough to remember the big separatist movement from Quebec in 1995 when they narrowly voted to stay a part of Canada.

The anti-American / pro-Canadian sentiment is huge right now. The switch to EB (Electronic Boutique) will bump sales for sure.

Just think it’s a little ironic that it’s a Quebec company that’s saving it.

You can’t run from your trauma. It follows you. Deal with your shit.

Half-serious… but I don’t understand how speeding is a problem in the GTA.

Every time I head out, I’m stuck in traffic because of road construction, condo construction, rush hour congestion or just bad drivers.

I’d love to have enough space to actually do the speed limit one day.

I don't see how any of this matters.

He is literally and figuratively above the law. He will face zero consequences.

Drive trucks to the capital, honk horns, soak in hot tubs and wave American flags to protest their lack of "freedoms"

Water Heater (lemmy.ca)

How many gallons / litres is your home water heater?

We live in a suburban 4 bedroom detached home. I find that after my wife and kid shower, I’m stuck showering in cold water.

Are they using too much water or is my water heater just not big enough?

Edit: not my photo. We currently have a 50gal tank.

 

I'm hearing rumblings of mass layoffs in my industry and was hoping to soften the blow by reaching out for full-time work before things come crumbling down.

I have nearly 20yrs of experience working in a studio and as an in-house designer. With the last 8yrs being at my current employer.

While a generalist, I excel in the areas of logo / branding design, print design, email / e-blast design and presentation design. I do a little bit of Wordpress / HTML / CSS work on the side as well.

I'm a Xennial with strong work ethic and communication skills.

Reach out if you think I can help you. Thank you!

The Carbon Tax was a major part of Trudeau's downfall near the end of his term. Why did he have such a hard-on for the Carbon Tax? Why didn't he cancel it when he had a chance and maybe salvage his political career? Why did Carney scrap it on his first day?

EDIT thanks for all the responses. It now makes so much sense. Trudeau was on his way out. He knew it. He took all the heat so that the new leader could take credit and ushering in a “We’re not Trudeau” party leadership, potentially saving the party during the next election and sticking it to Poillivere
