it’s insane that the Canadian retirement plan has become entirely dependent on home equity, and now the federal government wants to subsidize an over-valued industry just so the whole house of cards doesn’t collapse and throw out everyone on their rear end

welcome to hellworld

Doesn't collapse *on their watch*

the only goal of the Canadian politician at this point is to stave off the collapse until they're voted out for a corruption scandal.

SFU sucks but less due to the architecture and more due to the poo poo rear end road layout meaning one construction project can absofuck traffic on a daily basis.

I saw the new SUB, right across from the insanely brutal WAC Bennett Library, and it's way too bright and glassy. Those kids might start to get hope. What they should have done instead is build a second, identical, WAC Bennett Library across from the existing one. Consider this artistic rendering I made.

now at least you got traffic circles to correct your mistakes, and not as many one way roads

My mom never forgave Mayor Drapeau for "modernizing" Montreal by destroying the old historical buildings and replacing them with ugly crap.

Artist Morton Rosengarten (friend of Leonard Cohen) had pretty much the same opinion, he just up and left to live in the Eastern Townships afterward. (I met him a few times thanks to friends of a friend stuff, he's really cool)
