Reality Loser posted:things happening right now: On these: Weed legalization good but I suspect the gubbermint should have looked closer at the end of prohibition and how to use the market to weed (PUN BECAUSE WE LIKE THOSE IN CANADA) out criminal enterprises. I suspect black market weed is still economically viable with the taxes everybody wants to charge on the ganja. Also how loving sad is it that it took 15 years for this to happen after the National Post and the police unions were agitating for it NAFTA - I suspect Trump will only be happy with a punitive deal or a pullout. This is actually a big deal as Canada's economic strategy has been since NAFTA was signed to be cheap labor for American industry. (I mean, **OBVIOUSLY** no other nation will be able to out-cheap us.) If NAFTA fails, then this strategy will be offically poo poo-canned as opposed to just "only working for richers". I can picture some upsides here as something like 85% of all NAFTA economic growth was captured by (surprise, surprise) very large businesses with revenues in excess of $500 million annually. Considering these people don't pay taxes anymore it's really difficult to care. Unfortunately, Ontario now makes more cars than Detroit, and there's a ton of richer interests locked up in NAFTA on the American side, and they should be able to bribe/flatter Trump somehow into relenting. Housing Bubble - Because we're still locked into cheap money, the bubble continues, but fortunately the poors have been locked out of speculation via regulation. Both Trudeau and the Cons previously have been racking their brains on how to deflate the thing (and here's the important bit) without taking the blame for it. While restricting poors from buying mansions is good, it's clear the Richers still have free reign. I suspect that lots of Russian and Chinese dark money is ultimately being invested in Toronto and Vancouver, and that would be very politically easy to restrict or remove. (I mean, think about it: both of those nations are kleptocracies where corruption is used to get the acquiescence of the upper class, but it's still money that shouldn't be there - how hard would it be to say to both nations "we'd like to restrict the dark money in our county's real estate.) It hasn't happened because suprise! The money coming out of it still finds its way into the pockets of pols, so LET IT RIDE!!!! About the only really useful thing I can tell you is that crisis of this sort take longer than you'd like in coming, but once there work quicker than you would believe. I suspect a macroecon event (like leaving NAFTA, lol) will crank interest rates, leaving people overexposed, and then the carnival does a few more revolutions and then craters both cities, having driven out all their economically useful industry with real estate speculation. Of course richers play by different rules than the rest of us, so maybe the bubble continues serenely in those two places even as everywhere else collapses I don't know what the Keg is

Let's talk about the Best Mayor In The World, as voted on by various people, the first of his name, Naheed Nenshi. At first I thought "no, he's actually quite a poo poo mayor" but then I saw literally every other mayor in Canada past and present, and it turns out he's actually extremely good.

Reality Loser posted:I was tempted to add a 'free from homework explanation' line to my d&d post but I don't have a problem with your CI probies. It's more about the d&d thread being very very unchill, and I know we already have a few canadians who post in cspam. i have no idea why there is a group of people who so vehemently defend bad posting in the other thread but am willing to read someone's explanation of it. the whole thread culture seems very weird and has been flying under the radar for a while due to Canada

Dunno if someone without CI's shitposting credentials would've eaten a probe for suggesting that a man who was a bit slow to deny his involvement with Sikh terrorists might coerce someone into terrorism: quote:Dosanjh finds Singh “evasive,” for instance, about whether he supports Sikh separatists who want to create a theocracy in Khalistan, in the Punjab region of India.  Observations like that are just his shtick. Dude does have love his gendered and racial slurs though, that poo poo ain't on. Shame too, cause when he's not being like that he's often pretty astute. That Pickton Hells Angels connection got tongues waggin.

jagmeet singh has no "involvement" with the air india bombers. the issue was that he did not immediately condemn unnamed sikhs who allegedly venerate the bombers when prompted by a white interviewer. because why would he? he condemns terrorism and violence, it's not really his job to answer for the opinions of all sikhs anywhere in canada the fact that he recognizes a distinct culture's right to self-determination has nothing to do with blowing up airliners

Yes yes every thinking adult knows this, Jagmeet Singh is no more a Sikh terrorist than Tom Mulcair is. Romeo Dallaire also doesn't sleep nightly on park benches in piss soaked diapers but whenever he comes up, CI pops up to make sure that button gets pressed. Like a clump of kd cheese in the bowl, you don't want it there, it's arguably awful but it's also proof that it really did come from Canada Anyway it doesn't matter cause he's getting banned a week after he comes back, tops, and then some other troll will take his place.

Postess with the Mostest posted:But only if they Work Hard. I love the implication of "...and those working hard to join the middle class!" is that there is a huge shitload of poor people just sitting around with their thumbs up their asses doing nothing, apparently it's a transparently lovely attitude and the fact that so many canadians eat it up just goes to show how loving trash piss garbage our culture is

I thought that was understood.
