Grand Theft Autobot posted:That listing lol Well, the mistake you're making is assuming that most people looking at those listings are also looking for a house to live in. They're not. They're looking for house equity. Being livable is like one of those little bonus nice to have things but it's not something that'll make or break the decision to buy.

This is totally anecdotal but Whistler feels wayyyyyyyy emptier this year than Christmas last year. I spoke about it with a few people working retail and they've all said everything is down a lot this year too. Which is extra meaningful because last year there was no snow at Christmas and this year has been amazing for snow so far.

If it were reverse centaur he would be bragging about how little he pays for his 200sq foot apartment and we're all the idiots for not buying back in like 2004 when we were 13 years old like he did.

MikeSevigny posted:I saw it for something like twelve bucks a pint at Rootcellar once. Even by local standards that's a lot for (admittedly pretty good) ice cream. I was surprised at the time that there wasn't much labelling on the product, either. My apologies for getting into "ice cream chat" so late in the housing mega-thread, but thought I'd add my comments. One of the challenges we have here in Ontario (Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs) are small-scale producers of ice cream not using irradiated spices. I doubt that this producer has access to a food irradiation chamber and enough Cobalt-60 to render the spices she uses (ie: pine needles) sterile. We had some challenges in the past where makers of 'organic' ice cream were picking wild parsnips, garlic, dandelion, etc... Which ended up having really high counts of fecal contamination (likely from deer or raccoon poop). You can't cook the spices as that ruins the flavor, hence where irradiation comes in. Another challenge, is that mixing psychotropic (cold-loving bacteria) with ice cream (milk is an excellent growth medium for bacteria) can result in some pretty interesting bacterial counts a few months in during cold storage. The CFIA also has a division that is really great in helping out small-scale producers get their labeling requirements up, and offer ways to save on money for all the lab testing of different products (which can go up to $500 per recipe). The ones I've worked with have gone out of their way to help some of my small bakeries get their nutritional content labels out, the templates, exactly what lab tests are needed, and so forth. If anything, the CFIA labeling requirements have gotten much more lax than they were prior to 2006. (Ie: it is no longer criminal to sell expired infant formula). Sorry to hear she had some difficulty, but the labeling is there for a reason. We had some bad experiences a while back of food coming from overseas that gave us a real scare (think Melamine) and, uh... hmmm... well let's just say I won't buy food that comes from a certain country anymore until they really revamp their Quality Control.

Look how is a small business supposed to SURVIVE if it has to remove all fecal matter with irradiation? Also, that's atoms and these products are NATURAL.
