Your CPR class should tell you to not do mouth to mouth on anyone anymore. That's what mine did anyway (Vancouver). You use a hand-operated thingy now. (I know my medical terms) I've had to do classes since 2005 and they change the rules every time. Like loving make up your mind on how I'm supposed to have a 5% chance of saving someone's life!!

(I know my medical terms) I was taught that you were supposed to do 2 mouth to mouth breaths to every 30 chest compressions, but the mouth to mouth breaths weren't really that important. If you think they have super AIDS or something, don't bother.

Just don't bother with anyone in distress or state of injury. Just walk away. It's safer and less stressful for your sensitive dispositions. Don't even look them in the eye because then they can see in to your souls.

I really do enjoy that all I have to do is say that I like living in Vancouver for Cultural Imperial to freak the gently caress out. What if I'm a first generation immigrant from China? What then?! I'm going to hang out in the DTES and not preform CPR on people alllll day.

It's been making good revenue for the city, so of course the Fords hate it. It doesn't seem like it's stopped people from buying houses like crazy.

HookShot posted:The thing about these kids buying up tons of property is that in Australia (I don't know if it works the same way in Canada) you basically just use one property's lien as the security for your next property, and so on, and so forth. This is a pretty classic speculative strategem. It works as long as the price of a given asset is going up (and at a consistent rate), but as soon as growth stops, or even slows a little bit, then the house of cards collapses. Hyman Minsky would call this guy a Ponzi Finance Unit: he can't pay his principal or his interest on his properties unless the price of the asset is rising very quickly. A healthy financial market has a small minority of Ponzi Units, mixed with more conservative Hedge Units (can pay both principal and interest at current prices), and Speculator Units (can pay interest but not principal at current or slowly rising prices). When the Ponzi Units take a large enough share of the market, you start getting runaway prices, and the seeds of the eventual crash are sown. All it takes for a Ponzi Unit to go bust is for interest rates to increase (they've absolutely leveraged themselves with adjustable rates), or price growth to slow even slightly. Once they bust, they sell, and a general price deflation sets in. With so much cash tied up in margin trades and call markets, you get a credit crunch as notes go unpaid. It's going to happen in Canada and Australia. Maybe not today, but it is goddamn inevitable. Grand Theft Autobot fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Oct 5, 2014 |

ocrumsprug posted:I thought Ontario already had that transfer tax, or is that just Toronto? Toronto has one in addition to the provincial one. The latest campaigns are against the notion that other municipalities get the ability to do the same. It was originally instituted on the basis that "Toronto is a special snowflake due to higher infrastructure needs so we need a special snowflake tax". It basically increases the cost of selling a house by x% (forget the amount) which hypothetically reduces churn and thus why realtors don't want it. Trying to position that it will impact housing jobs (which is why the ads have different job numbers in different municipalities) is disingenuous at best because housing jobs are dependent only on new home sales, which is dependent mostly on population growth, not overall housing market activity. I don't like the tax from a personal financial perspective but the way OREA is trying to use it is slimy as hell.

To be fair I think a lot of Russians now think what their effectively 100% state-controlled and heavily-distorted media tells them to think about pretty much everything. I'm sure by now they're growing to love their oligopoloy --- something something Russian patriots something something protecting against evil Western imperialism. While Harper may have some very faint hallmarks of a charismatic authoritarian dictator, Putin far outclasses him in that regard.

It basically increases the cost of selling a house by x% (forget the amount) which hypothetically reduces churn and thus why realtors don't want it. I agree Toronto put it in based on higher infrastructure requirements and costs, but the real reason they instituted the land transfer tax was to avoid raising property taxes proper. It was a calculated political move at the time. I'd also argue that people don't see it as "increasing the cost of selling a house", because the buyer pays it. Even from the buyers perspective the transfer tax has little impact (unless you're a sane person) because first time buyers with no equity receive substantial/total rebate on the tax, and people who are moving up don't treat their prior sale equity as "real money" because they are idiots and are happy to pay whatever it costs to make the move they want. Sale equity realized isn't a real thing to them. I was looking at moving a few streets south in about 2009 and calculated my total cost to move including transfer and agent fees(this is Toronto), at $60,000. gently caress that.

I wouldn't pay out the rear end to live in a glorified trailer park any more than I'd buy a house in the suburbs but I'm pretty much planning to live in a much smaller space because it's easier and cheaper to heat, cool and build (plus I like cozy spaces) so I don't think tiny houses are such a crazy idea.
