Yeah but from there it's a minimum 5 years until you can apply for citizenship and not be a second class non voter who can lose residency for spending some time outside the usa right? I dunno, I have only looked into it at the shallowest depths. Postess with the Mostest has issued a correction as of 22:18 on Dec 20, 2018 |

Canadians were never eligible for the "diversity visa" - it excludes top ten or so sources of immigrants by country of birth. Also I thought Trump had cancelled it somehow but that was apparently bluster. (Big shock, I know)

He’s a neo-liberal to the core so is assuming that everyone in Alberta will rationally choose to do something else. You know, market conditions and such.

Well it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. The people at Costco are spending a little extra time to sort through the clementines to make sure they get all good ones and if you're not willing to go the extra mile and check, well, you probably deserve two dozen rotten pieces of fruit in your stocking. There do exist universal canadian values, wish I could put it on an ornament and hang it from the tree.

Ever read up on Vienna's public housing? Article: Why rich people in Austria want to live in housing projects Excerpt: quote:VIENNA, Austria — Think of the words social housing project. What comes to mind? This should be describing every city. As a policy plank, public housing should be up there with UHC.

(Double the median income so something like 70,000 CAD here.) That's a pretty loose definition of rich, shades of Alexa McDonough telling Ontario autoworkers they were too wealthy and would be taxed into submission.

there's a reason he only says economists believe rent control is bad, and that's because we know the bullshit they warned would happen with rent control actually didn't happen. and we've known this since the 80s, after numerous studies. but they still believe it's bad. they should know, they went to school for capitalism!

we also know with 100% certainty it has no effect on supply, because rent control was not applied to any units built or converted after 1991, and yet there was still insufficient supply. turns out rent control or no, it's still way more profitable to build condos.
