The Home Buyers’ Plan currently focuses on first-time buyers; people would additionally be able to use it multiple times when moving for work, after the death of a spouse, after a marital split or to take in an elderly relative. lol gently caress off idiots

Hamelekim posted:Fun fact. The blue ridings from Manitoba through Alberta match up exactly with the historical immigration pattern of people from the US to Canada in the very early days of the country. Proof? The RvB divide looks pretty evenly along working (profitable) economic centers and welfare rural corridors. In fact if you look at the Elections Canada poll plot it squares exactly with the most bitter, underemployed areas voting for populism & redistribution. Immigrants on average voted hard C with the exception of Montreal.

I am not saying there is anything to it, just that it is interesting how they match up so well.

I think once the robots take over driving for us, people will see things differently. They won't take it so personal. Personal motor vehicles will be treated more similarly to any other mode of transportation.

The future is Uber with autonomous cars. Instead of owning your own car you will rent an autonomous one for ten minutes at a time using an app on your smartphone. All your money will be funneled to the rich people who own the company, which employs one hundred mechanics and software engineers and put a hundred thousand people out of work.

You are talking about a rental car, I am talking about public transport with private cars because the poster I quoted said "personal motor vehicles will be treated more similarly to any other mode of transportation." I admit that my post was a bit hyperbolic, but I regularly (few times a month) wake up to a parking spot (and car) that has been showered with piss by some person who doesn't have a better place to do it. I would argue that even a small chance of finding a turd in one's personal car will turn off a majority of people to the idea of letting their car drive around and be treated like any other mode of transportation.

Obviously my post was tongue in cheek, but my underlying point is simple that private ownership is likely nonsensical in a world of autonomous vehicles. The economics are too compelling to have vehicles that work all the time versus sit idle 99% of the time. I feel very certain that the future of cars once you add automation is the car2go model - i.e. club membership essentially.
