  • Hard to think of a less helpful message to send than “the members of our military are rapists and we support them in that”.

    The US is about to try to invade Canada, Cuba, Greenland, and Iran, while best buddy Israel takes on Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria.

    Usually it’s the defenders who need to tell people that the invaders are coming to rape their wives and children. In this case, it’s the official propaganda channel of the US government!

    Unbelievable.












  • Vancouver BC licensed a bunch of shitty condo high rises to friends of city council.

    Nobody bought them so they’re sitting empty even as new high rise condos nobody wants are being built.

    Solution: the federal government writes a check to the condo developers, and subsidizes some means-tested people to live there paying full price to the developer, in order to “stabilize the real estate market”.

    Housing prices are being kept artificially high as a matter of government policy.

    This is not a “the market will sort it out” thing, even if the market would fix things (ha), it’s not even getting the chance.
