In the greater Toronto area. So many vacant condo units. Pre-construction buildings not having enough sold units to meet threshold and thus not being built. Builders being forced to reduce pricing or offer up better incentives to buyers.
But who has $20,000 sitting around to make a down payment on a 1 Million dollar townhome? Wages need to go up. That starts with our employers.
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!
This is it. When they forced us back into the office, it was less about afternoon naps and avoiding traffic. It was more about being able to see my dr that closes at 4pm or taking my elderly parents to their appointments. Cooking dinners to avoid takeout and getting ‘me’ time between zoom calls. They took that away from us. Now it’s 9-5 and not a minute more.
When I finally got a place of my own in my 30s, I kept the shelves stocked with the brightest, sweetest, crunchiest kids cereals. Lucky Charms, Trix, Count Chocula, Golden Grahams. All we were allowed to eat as kids was Corn Flakes and Bran Flakes 🤢
I was happy with my Ontario Carbon Rebate cheques. The conservatives really had their way in the media, re-dubbing it "carbon tax" when it was actually a very good program with money back from. I hate how sports reporters have more tenacity than those covering politics.
Benefits are great but are limited. I had $1,000 in 'mental health' spending but my therapist nearly doubled their pricing over 3yrs. That $1,000 once got me 10-12 sessions now only got me 6.

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.
When everyone gets a ‘participation award’ at your annual work party, except you.
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"
New Orleans. Brothers Food Mart, 2012. A convenience store that was serving the best fried chicken. So unassuming. So delicious.
There was also another hole-in-the-wall bar that had the best gumbo that we ate after trying Oysters Rockefeller somewhere else.
We’re from Toronto and that trip was years ago but we still speak fondly of the food and the people of New Orleans to this day.

You can be unpopular and still be democratically elected. That's so awful. Gotta fix voter apathy.

Death of a parent and managing their assets.
Just never talked about sickness and death. You always assumed they would be around.
Some cultures and religion make end-of-life stuff really difficult on the kids.
Salary and time off.
