James Baud posted:This is a pretty decent resource, though you'd have to pick and choose because there's some dumb stuff in there too ("Christy Clark said the NDP promises would cost more than someone else says!"). I think that focusing on education's the wrong target, though. Someone who is going to get upset over that already needs no convincing to vote "not Liberal". One might flake some off if there were a legitimate party that wanted to ban/severely reduce international students while compensating with increased funding, but pretty sure there isn't. thanks now i know i can ignore you

In 2013 the BC Liberals promised 300 new treatment beds. Those beds were never delivered. The number of treatment spaces has actually decreased. Now, they are promising 250 beds by 2022. They are murderers.

The Greens really have their ground game set up in Victoria. The Green candidate for Victoria-Beacon Hill has a huge and very nice campaign office right downtown. Also noticed a few Green lawn signs up already. Please don't win any more seats Greens.

To be fair to the BC Greens (and I was very unfair earlier) they aren't led by an Elizabeth May and they don't seem to be into that wacky woo stuff so much.

Horgan was on the CBC radio yesterday morning answering softball phone in questions and I was surprised to hear him respond to a question about electoral reform by saying that if the NDP won they'd definitely have a referendum on electoral reform with a 50% + 1 requirement and the government would campaign in favour of reform. I didn't know that was part of their platform. It would be good for the province to have some sort of PR system instead of what we have now.

Surely a $25/month rent discount, paid annually only to people with provincial taxes of $400 or more, will solve Vancouver's rental crisis.

The Butcher posted:Explain. Right now we have three political parties all focused on competing for one part of the electorate: overly complacent middle class Canadians. If bad economic conditions turn that complacency into anger and fear then our politics will get uglier. Our economy is extremely unbalanced at the moment and all you have to do is look at what's happened in parts of Europe or the United States to get a sense of what might happen here in the next decade.

If you take away the cap gains exemption, then someone can't sell a $700K house and buy another one. I think that's an important property ( ) of the housing system to preserve. (I feel like we just had this conversation, but maybe that was with PT6A.)E: making rent tax deductible would most likely just enrich landlords further unless combined with strong rent control measures.

You loving idiot that's the idea. To curb stomp demand and also make people stop treating their houses like investments. Finally renters won't be subsidising rear end in a top hat equity builders to live out their home owning dreams

James Baud posted:That's only true if prices are appreciating at breakneck pace. Any modest gains in a sane market will more or less be cancelled out by existing closing costs. In a sane market the gains will be so small that the exemption is harmless, by your own reasoning. The problems we're talking about are exactly the result of policies designed for a "sane" environment now operating in a different one.

Are there some examples of countries that don't have a capital gains exemption on primary residences? It seems like there could be a variety of consequences to the policy. I'd be interested in reading more about any real life examples. I certainly support ending the capital gains exemption on non-primary residence housing investments. I don't know why that capital gains exemption exists.

Germany doesnt have an exemption, but you can also buy a nice house there for 100k. My friend's parents just moved back in to their house in Port Moody. They plan to live there just long enough to get the capital gains exemption, then they're buying a house in Mexico. The System works.

Ah yes, Tim Hudak's plan to remove 100 000 public sector jobs while creating 1 million jobs, while Andrea Horwath forced the election in the first place by not supporting the budget and then was more right of center in her platform than even the Liberals. I guess the Green Party was there, doing something.

Probably because in the end none of us are huge stoners and seeing as we know the Liberals are going to only legalize it if they can both funnel all the profits to the already wealthy while still being able to supress minorities while outwardly appearing to be liberal, we just don't loving care anymore. I don't give a poo poo about the actual weed I'm a white middle class person if I actually used the stuff I can already smoke it wherever I want without more than maybe a dirty look or a cop telling me to snuff it out.
