It's both.

If you just look at supply and demand graphs.

Where S is supply, D is demand, N is number of people, I is number of investors, and P is price you'd have:

  1. S[=N+0]=D[=N+0], P-
  2. S[=N+0]N+0]>D[=N+0], P▼
  3. S[N+0]>D[=N+0], P▼
  4. S[>N+I]>D[=N+I], P▼

I'll repost a comment I made before again here:

If you have half the population each have 1 investment property. You must have the other half renters. You literally want to create two classes. Those with investment properties and those with no property. One class above another. You’re just using billionaires as a shield. You want to put yourself in a class above other people.

We should all work so that each person has one home.

And the “I don’t want to work until I die” should be covered by social insurance/social security instead of making someone else a renter.

Bro, really. You've got to learn how to take an 'L'

We both know you edited that.

You originally wrote: Hong Kong Shanghai Bank of China Then when I called you out on it you changed it to Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation

The general history is not disputed.

Well .NET is dead now so I guess .COM and .ORG are dead too?

Why are blaming the actions of a London based multinational company on China?! Really?!

They were definitely more smooth and more silent when they started replacing them last year. It's gotten worse since then, unfortunately. But not as bad as before the last derailment. I expect them to get worse as time goes until they actually get proper custom wheels and axles has been promised.

Nice. Finally some action. But I bet the provinces would still complain and continue to under fund education.

I watched the debate from 1979. I wish Broadbend could have presented his vision better. He was a too aggressive and I can see why people voted for Joe Clark. Just on behaviour and delivery alone.

The biggest issue at the time was oil production. The NDP proposed nationization while the PCs privatization. The PCs presented the choice between Canadian ownership vs government ownership and Clark stressed that. While Braodbend focused on domestic vs foreign interference. The PCs promising "direct ownership" as opposed to "nebulus government" ownership was delivered better.

I wish the NDP embrace more demsoc principles. This will lead to focusing on distribution of power. Instead of setting up crown corporations with the board of directors being responsible to parliament, they should have proposed elected boards of directors of crown corporations be directly elected by the people on election day (maybe even sit/replace the senate) and also pitch it as alternative public revenue source.

The PCs used the NDP talking point, about domestic ownership/control and direction and flipped it against them by tying it and subverting it into direct private shareholders.

The NDP should do the same but reverse. Tie patriotism/civic duty of one vote per person to the concept of voting and controlling of natural resources through giving votes to each citizen to crown corporations and charging the PCs of removing the concept of one person one, vote. Also use fiscal conservatism against itself. Crown corporations diversify revenues. Charge the PCs of raising taxes due to reduced "income streams" for government. Lastly, tie charity to social welfare as it is the same thing.

I think voting for ministers directly would have to a part of electoral reform. A lot of people who don't vote for the only party that safeguards and advances public health care, the NDP, would vote for Health Ministers that are for universal health care.

Got mine in October, along with the regular flu shot. I haven't gotten anything yet.

Well even though rumors aren't as good as the real thing. There's been no such discussion in Ottawa

 

This is probably meta, but I'd like to know what are the boards in the picture in the banner of the sublemmy?

 

Just as the title asks, where is lemmy.ca hosted?

I have flagfox installed on my firefox.

It tells me that lemmy.ca is hosted in Washington state. Link: https://iplookup.flagfox.net/?ip=208.87.97.51&host=lemmy.ca. I'd like to know if this is accurate.

Ideally I'd like to have the data be hosted in Canada and hence under Canadian law as opposed to US law.

I'd also be interested in hearing other opinions on this.

 

I cannot see posts from lemmy.ml. I only see a few but not a lot. When I go to https://lemmy.ca/community/2573, for example I don't see any posts however when I go to https://lemmy.ml/c/embedded_prog, while not logged in because I don't have an account on lemmy.ml, I see posts. Is it just me or is it an effect of federation?

 

It is required by law.

It directs government policy and investment.

It'll help everyone if everyone fills out the questionaire.

 

Happy International Workers' Day. Also known May Day.
