Precambrian Video Games posted:drat, they went that far? Inconceivable. Unscrupulous developers? Someone should get on that. Unrelated, but last year the province passed a law that allowed the Housing Minister to designate favoured developers and personally intervene to bypass municipal governments and fast-track their developments. Oh well

two enormous babies will flail at each other with adorable pudgy limbs for our amusement quote:In a ruling released earlier this month, an Ontario Superior Court judge dismissed the lawsuit against Isabel Vincent, a reporter who was a guest on the episode, but ruled it should proceed against Brown and Canadaland. I can't believe the company that cited Bellingcat and a NED goon for their Ukraine war episode would have trouble with journalistic integrity maybe it's time for the decent people at Canadaland to tell Jesse to gently caress off. I think Goldsbie in an episode a while back hinted at how pissed off the staff has been with his behaviour since October 7th.

So if I'm reading that article right, WE had a 150k donation from Ontario Federation of Labour before they were even registered as a charity and their mom eventually donated it into a bank account that became the charity bank account, and this was a generally known thing in ontario media circles, and when canadaland did the WE scam expose they repeated the claim that specific incident was related to all of their other scams? Lol

"weirdly, the cowards who suggested I take a 'mental health leave' for being anti-genocide would not speak on the record about their love of genocide" the Breach article is a good read, and not at all shocking given CBC's horrendous coverage of Gaza (and their longer history of pro-Israeli reporting). sure, maybe it "confirms my biases," but my biases are really, really good in this case.

Globe and mail is worried about landlords too: [New rules on capital gains] outraged many cottage owners, who bought decades ago and have seen large enough gains to be impacted by the new tax rules. They consider themselves in the middle class – some of them struggle to afford their cottages as is – and resent the fact that they could be taxed at a higher rate when their cottage is sold or passed on as part of their estate. For roughly 60 days a year, Jacqueline Baptist rents her cottage out on sites such as Airbnb. But she doesn’t think of the money as income, because it almost entirely goes toward upkeep for her four-season, four-bedroom property in Algonquin Highlands, the costs of which can exceed $10,000 a year. Even in early pandemic years, where renting generated upward of $50,000 in income, much of that money went back into the property, whether that was for renovations, maintaining the access road or other maintenance that kept the home presentable for paying guests. Now, Algonquin Highlands is imposing limits on short-term rentals and requiring owners to apply for permits and charge their renters a 4-per-cent tax on top of sales taxes. The charge only applies to short-term rentals, not hotels. Ms. Baptist, who also owns a condo in Toronto but designates her cottage as her primary residence and lives there for roughly one-third of the year, says there are unknowns in the process: Will she be able to acquire a permit? Will the municipality inspect rental properties and require renovations that bring them up to certain codes? If she isn’t able to acquire a permit, she’d have to dip into her registered retirement savings plan to pay yearly costs of holding the property. And with her mortgage renewal coming up in late 2025, she expects to take a large hit on monthly payments that have been anchored to a 1.89-per-cent rate in recent years.

How can you possibly have $10k in upkeep costs per year? Are they renovating it yearly? Do they rent exclusively to arsonists?

Tens of thousands in renovations per year and it still isn't up to code lol These are the titans of industry we must protect from slightly raising the rate on capital gains taxes over 250k

Just casually dropping that little fact in there - yeah, my AirBnB is my principal residence, I just live there for a third of the year. I just happen to live most in another dwelling for the rest of the year. Honestly, the entire article is incredible.

Who wants to bet that the majority of the 10,000$ is payment to the cleaner (surely she does not do the cleaning and turnover for the unit), which is also paid for by the customer in the usury “cleaning fee” charged on Airbnb. Whole generations are not having children because these loving boomers expect not just to always make 50,000$ off a rental property but to never pay anything in tax. That is what many people make a year working full time!!!! I guess the article is having the desired effect of absolutely enraging me, and also making boomers sad that they are somehow also the victims here.

It's the only thing the middle class knows at this point I generally support the upzoning and backyard suites but god forbid we ever get to a point where the city lets us subdivide lots and someone can own their own backyard suite. Also they aren’t upzoning poo poo in my very downtown neighborhood because a guy who died seven years ago launched a push for a Heritage Conservation district before he died.
