Except the previous two elections had the NDP holding the balance of power?

Funny. During the election when I pointed out Carney was a conservative I was told to read his marketing material, sorry I mean book, Values which practically painted him as a social democrat.

I notice none of the examples involve taking care of life stuff while on the job. Only the one direction.

Right, whereas kowtowing to American car companies is turning out to be great for Canada.

Consider the legalities addressed.

I don't think anyone has been a victim of demonic possession, ever, actually.

What makes Burnaby interesting is the nature of the housing that the BHA is building. That is to say, public, non-market housing.

I've been keeping an eye on Burnaby. In 2023 they created a municipal housing authority to build public housing which will, in my opinion, do a lot to fix housing affordability. Once their buildings actually start getting built, assuming they don't fuck it up, maybe I could move back to civilization.

I'm sure that's what he thinks. But considering the supposed budget shortfall is money we didn't spend on our own military, I'd say Tillis either doesn't understand what NATO is supposed to be, or he understands very clearly but can't be bothered to keep the fact that it's a protection racket on the down low.

The legal mechanism to do this already exists.

Foreign ownership of housing is a small part of the issue.

Canadians are very content to collect rents from each other. You could ban foreign ownership entirely and it won't make housing affordable.

Fuck Smith and fuck Carney, too. -One BC resident.

Also, carbon capture is bullshit that exists to give a veneer of environmentalism to fossil fuel projects.
