The thing about Bernier is, he'll ultimately never advance any further politically because he's French. English Canada doesn't want that, doesn't matter how racist you are. Chretien had balls enough that it didn't matter, whereas someone like Stephane Dion- just lmao. Bernier is more a Dion than a Chretien. The 'blustering French' will always outperform the 'sniveling French' stereotype where it counts the most.

This is so dumb lol. Trudeau is french idiot. Probably like half our PM's have been french. You idiot

My landlord told me that every home gets mold :thunk:

He also said that the mold is because everyone built a bunch of cheap lovely apartments in the late 80s/early 90s and they're all hosed so what do you want me to do about it

Mine said if I don't like it I should move.

I live in BC in a very hot real estate market and an accommodations shortage where a dainty one bedroom apartment goes for $1,350 (not as bad as Vancouver, mind you). He's blatantly trying to push out a family of 5 because we got in a decade ago before the market skyrocketed.

I live about an hour from Vancouver and my previous landlords two were:
- slumlord who refused to fix poo poo
- slumlord who refused to fix poo poo even when it was likely to cause electrical fires in his own house

I'm really hoping that the giant soulless REIT I now rent an apartment from is somehow more sensible than those two jackwagons. At least they test the fuckin smoke alarms and all my appliances work this time -- the last three months in my previous place the relays in the stove controlling electricity flow to the burners were loving sparking and popping so I just didn't use the stove to cook at all because my landlord refused to believe anything was wrong with it.

this is why I'm not really following the outrage about big company buying houses to rent. landlord shittiness is not predicated on corporate structure or size. feels like people are imagining their personal rental situation will somehow change for the worse and that seems as likely as it ever was?

why did the company get a splashy puff piece in the globe and mail? alright that's kinda weird, though it's weird every time it happens. not uniquely weird for this company

they're just gonna jack up rents for profit? what a change from the status quo

I'm not saying it's good (how about some rent control, enforcing tenant rights, and publicly-funded housing) but it doesn't seem to change much of anything

there are worlds where buying property you don't live in and renting it out is (perceived as) an onerous enough process with insufficient reward that there are no amateur landlords. some of those worlds sound not so bad

here the larger firms tend to push for above guideline rent increases for anything they can, including things that should have been covered by regular ongoing maintenance, and absolutely useless cosmetic upgrades to properties. beyond that they frequently will slow roll or just ignore maintenance and repair requests for long term tenants in locations where the market rents have increased significantly, since they can renovate the unit when the tenant moves due to it being unlivable and put it back on the market for hundreds more.

small time landlords do it too, but there are multiple large scale landlords that do it systematically. we've had coordinated rent strikes over things like AGI for new landscaping and marble in the lobby of a building filled with cockroaches and mold

from a position of
unreasonable self-confidence
after your lease is up you turn over your keys, and if you've been unjustly treated (as most renters are) you can establish your alibi and then break back in and absolutely demolish your old home. this could potentially ruin a small landlord, so if enough people do it the very threat may keep them in line one day.

you could still do it to the corpos, but they're way more likely to have security/witnesses/insurance and coffers to cover the damage.

wait, someone else said they're less likely to have lawyers who can bulldoze you in housing court if you bring them there for their negligence? yeah, that's a way better reason.
