CTV Ottawa put up an article about a new rental building on Chaudiere Island. Out of 140 units 19 of them are affordable starting at $1350. On an island with almost no nearby amenities. Can't wait for the lack of rent control to make those "affordable apartments" rocket up in price after the initial leases end.

Just another dumb loving idiot.



I had the "joy" of listening to the dumb loving idiots up on the Hill an hour ago where dipshits like Anthony Housefucker pissed and whined about Canada voting in favour of a ceasefire. It's absolutely incredible how so many politicians who claim to be progressive become two-faced weasels the minute Israel is mentioned. Human rights for me, Palestinians deserve death because of Hamas is all I heard coming out of that little fucker's mouth.

Sure thing we're not an oppressor. We just give unreserved support to ethnic cleansing and half the country throws a shitfit when we vote for the most lame duck non-binding call for a ceasefire.

It honestly baffles me how so many people can correctly call out shitheels in our government system and massive right wing bigots only to then turn around and cast a blind eye to suffering for which we're all complicit.

I really feel like targeting retail chains like Zara or Indigo who are, can I say, at least one degree of separation away from the Israel Palestine conflict is a confusing and ineffective strategy by activists.

Picket outside the consulate or a weapons manufacturer, sure. But if it takes more than 10 words to explain why you're there, you've already lost half the population.

I agree that it's kind of a dumb place to protest for the same reason that I think climate activists vandalizing art galleries is exceptionally stupid. Moreso I was talking about how someone like Charles Adler can correctly call out bigotry from right wingers but then a dumb protest inside the Eaton Centre is suddenly the end of democracy and requires extensive handwringing.

And they're tracking down individuals who protested the Indigo store to destroy their careers. I worked for Indigo, met Reisman once at one of those cultish all-staff meetings and she gave me bad vibes ever since. She can absolutely go gently caress herself and take the cop hitsquad targeting protesters with her.

I've been to Pub 101 (once only of course) and it was definitely bad. It does not even come close to the shamefulness of the Lowertown Brewery. I am shocked that that place is somehow still operating.

I'm pretty sure a good half of the bars in the Market only survive by handling overflow from the crowd that doesn't get into Heart and Crown.

Legitimately, I work with the Ontario Craft Brewers and maintain a map of the breweries in the province.

I have been wondering when Lowertown was going to go under for years at this point. It's so generic that between wondering about its closure, I mostly forget about it.

It has a Keg to one side and Tucker's Marketplace to the other. That whole stretch of York Street is cursed with mediocrity aside from the Japanese Grill.

Wonder who's going to take over after Singh. I assume NDP leadership contests now are Yu-Gi-Oh duels where the cards are replaced with rental income statements in an effort to attract those sweet sweet (and very real) on-the-fence liberal voters

I'd probably guess it would be between Ashton, Blaikie or the Bowl Of Rice. I can't see Julian or Angus making a go at it.

I've been trying to find a video of that goofy slogan Mulcair used on the campaign trail. It was a rhyme, something like "self care, health care, Mulcair!" but even dumber than that. Tya if you know what I'm talking about

Dunno if I can find a clip but if you go to the 2015 episode of Last Week Tonight where John Oliver discusses the Canadian federal election he plays that exact clip of Angry Tom.

Nah, Trudeau's come out explicitly against South Africa's ICJ case.

Why anyone ever thought he wouldn't is what confuses me. Trudeau never gave a gently caress about Gaza, he reluctantly called for a ceasefire beside the conservative NZ PM probably because the Americans asked then to.

It's just the usual spewing where he acknowledges a question, refutes it and then does a half assed both-sidesing closer so you hopefully ignore the bit where he said "we don't care about dead children next question" that drives me insane. Politi-speak is a cancer.

Hundreds of bears are killed each year across the country mainly for hunting and handling "nuisance" animals that pose a threat when they wander into populated areas.

20,000 people were murdered in under three months for no reason besides contempt and bigotry.
