Find Out If Your Provincial Rep Is Invested In Real Estate

When I was a kid, my folks owned about 3 rental properties. I didn't really feel like they were untrustworthy, even about the rental market. After 1983 when the interest rate got about 4 times as high as these fuckers were whining about and we lost our metric shirt in the fire-sale bloodbath, I still didn't note any bias.
Start with trustworthy people - SIT DOWN, Milhouse
Trust them. Or get rid of them.

This isn't exactly mind blowing, 65%, of residential properties are lived in by their owners.
Given that you need a bit of wealth to even run as a candidate, you'd expect them to have bought a house.
- Its landlords - so non-principal residences - and invested in real estate as in ownership of REITs or private real estate corporations.
  So, nothing at all to do with principal residences, which is pretty amazingly clear when you click the link and read the article.
  
  Such a weird divide. I realize it is to try and make those who seek employment profit with their home as a capital asset feel special and "not like those other investors", but it's a false narrative. An investor is an investor is an investor.
  
  Considering how many homes have suites, it's not really fair to say it excludes principal residences.
