I seem to have replied to the main thread instead of the specific comment that mentioned gaslight. Didn't you notice a complete no sequitur?

This is textbook gaslighting.

Well if I spent 5 minutes instead of 0.5 minutes I might be able to find an actual text book but I think APA Dictionary of Psychology: "gaslight" is a pretty good definition:

to manipulate another person into doubting their perceptions, experiences, or understanding of events.

And it provides an example, from the original source of the term:

a wife is nearly driven to insanity by the deceptions of her husband

It is tres shitty to minimize actual abusive behavior by applying a term associated with intimate partner violence it to this minor thing which is someone posting a comment on some software he works at using an account which goes to zero effort to obfuscate that.

In penance I decree you should watch the movie https://archive.org/details/gaslight-1944 and tell me if it's any good, I haven't seen it yet.

I have a much more clear cut policy:

1. You can live in one home
2. You can't own a home you don't live in

Occasionally someone has a big place and someone has a small place, but this would solve way more issues.

why do they say it's for "middle class" if it's for poor people?

I don't know if I count as middle class. But I remember the first year I didn't get all my taxes back on rebate. I was SO HAPPY to be making enough money to pay taxes.

Still feeling that way even though I am getting broker over time as the rent goes up and my wage doesn't.

It would be more worthwhile to do price controls on those loblaws assholes.

edit: replied in the wrong spot. moved elsewhere in the thread.

Recently I learned telus was the Alberta state run telco until it was sold under shocking terms during Mulroney. The govt agreed to buy it back at a loss if it wasn't profitable after a couple of years!

They could control the prices. It is the solution to this problem.

Sure if you count the departure of 1 person as a fact about a place.

I'm also skeptical unless you are counting disputed territories by every name they've ever gone by. Europe and Asia account for 80% of Mississauga population (and it was less diverse in the past). they've got 100 countries between them assuming you had the most possible representation, which is doubtful. Then you still need 40 more countries from very uncommon backgrounds.

what's the joke

Sore losers.

There's been chinwagging forever... Except that unlike the Qubecois they lack the ability to actually get their shit together to organize for it. Instead all energy is spent attempting to implement a chisto-fascist takeover of all Canada to make everyone as dumb as they are.

13000 years ago. You are off topic.

There have been moments like this in the US.

Can't rely on other people to do the work.

they lost cause they are comprehensively jackasses who suck and everybody hates them EVEN MORE than they hate the soggy liberals. they have the leader they elected, and whom they deserve.

🔮 I forsee at least an attempt at social media influencer. He loves trolling and attention. He already has a platform. He has been double cancelled which is a giant boost. (And unlike many claims to have been canceled, this one is true, at least in one domain.)

If he can read the currents and catch a good wave on some right wingnut conspiracy theories he could have a lucrative career, at least for a little while.
