Yes but have you considered that they can throw this at him any time they want?

Here is what they are actually asking for:

That's true, rentals are important. So how about instead mom and pop landlords can rent a couple/small number of units, but anything above that you must register as a corporation and the tenants union gets to be on the board, and there are strong incentives to turn you into a housing cooperative. Let's throw in some more tenant protection legislation for good measure.

Basically, treat housing as a right, not as a financial asset, an investment, or a profit-driven enterprise.

Now you're saying something different from before. Before you were talking about the order in which the two problems should be addressed, now you're telling about whether each one should be addressed and how. You're not discussing in good faith.

Well, fuck cars. Let's build a non car-centric economic ecosystem. Trains, ebikes, bikelanes, trams.

Yes but what about the profits of investors? Have you thought of them? You meany.

Let's also do domestic billionaires (yea we have some).

So? We can do hard things.

Yea but that's the Liberal party you're talking about. If you want that, you should vote NDP.

Why not at the same time?

Are you making some kind of weird whataboutist argument here? Road safety and gun safety are not mutually exclusive.

Don't fall for the conservative framing of the issue. If you read the article, these are all sensible commitments that they are requesting, that essentially enshrine further things that actually responsible gun owners would be taking for granted.

This is HUGE.

At what point do the Democrats start shutting down the government?

It's two years old, but here is what Statistics Canada has to say about it: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/231016/dq231016c-eng.htm

You push your narrative, I'll push mine. According to your narrative, the Bell deal is off because USA stronk, Canada no stronk. Your narrative, your burden of substantiation.

Was the project scrapped under Biden?

I know right, fascism is great for profits!

And is the mayor's office and the district attorney's office inundated with calls from their constituents demanding accountability for the behaviour of the local police here? Are there locally elected officials being shouted at by their constituents into taking action to thwart, delay, frustrate ICE operations?

Yves-François Blanchet said it best: oil and gas is not an identity.
