I’ve seen some of his tiktoks, legitimately just another real estate investor with brainworms. Absolutely refuses to see housing as anything else than an investment or passive income generation.

I'm legitimately wondering how someone learns Quebecois French as an adult because all of the language learning resources online just do French French and it seems dumb as hell that there isn't like an equivalent to Goethe-Institut but for French in Canada

Québécois media is a good one. a number of my friends got better at French from the quebecois dub of the simpsons (which is rather different than the Parisian dub), helps as you already know a bunch of the beats and stuff

immersion as mentioned is good but would be better in a purely francophone city rather than MTL as the place is super bilingual & ppl will just revert on you

He’s not wrong but also not crashing housing will also mean the end of our economy. Crashing housing is actually the lesser pain for all the pain it will cause.

I wonder if we will see fracture amongst the vampire capitalists that need cheap labour and the vampire capitalists who need high housing prices. I know we are in hell world and somehow they might coexist but I think one is going to have to die for the other to live.

It's more surprising that we had a brief period of time being a real country with a real economy, in hindsight.

What if we did this, but the enterprise is run by the government and everyone gets their fair share? I'm sure there's some political ideology advocating that.

yeah this poo poo needs to pop I don’t understand how so many of our cities are even supposed to function when the myriad of lower paid labour that like, makes a place work at a baseline can’t even afford to live there. it’s fuckin rich assholes or abject poverty

Dipshits and sadists. I've seen a few in my area, but more NDP signs. The ones that have PC signs also had signs for the PPC party last federal election, so you know where they fall on the rear end in a top hat scale.

I feel like at this point the only way I'd pick up french is by watching the dubbed simpsons. I watched it as a kid a ton because there was a half-hour gap around 7:30 when there were no simpsons on TV anywhere but the french channels. It was that or Hogan's Heroes reruns that I'd already watched a billion times because of the gap. This was also the period in which my grasp of french was the strongest.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's about as close to the opposite of state funded public housing as it gets.
