I was talking about post WW2 construction work that the govt did in past, it was actually very good plan on their part. Seems like it is back on table again: https://globalnews.ca/news/10164221/ottawa-pre-approved-housing-plans/You're an optimist I see. I don't trust the government to do anything. Look what they're doing with TransMountain pipeline. Went from an 8B project to 30B+. Do you think they can be trusted with creating affordable housing? If so, I have a bridge to sell you..
Diploma mills to lose money now that sub-par lamdas cannot enrollArticle is paywalled. What's the summary?

5-10 years from now, these countries will open up to int'l students again, do the same, and the cycle of "crackdown" on their own greed continues.Diploma mills to lose money now that sub-par lamdas cannot enroll
Hopefully. It will give me enough time to become a slumlord for that wave5-10 years from now, these countries will open up to int'l students again, do the same, and the cycle of "crackdown" on their own greed continues.
this is sounding like the Matrix movie.5-10 years from now, these countries will open up to int'l students again, do the same, and the cycle of "crackdown" on their own greed continues.
This is not just a documentary, its a horror movie if I can even call it that. I watched the second half of part 2 in utter disbelief.For those who want to see how "Free Market" in Canada works and well... crashes :
Its a two part documentary. On how Nortel become a massive giant and .... blew up entire economy of Canada. Warning : 1:30 hours each. Short summary, Nortel started as an assembling partner of Bell/Lucent, became independent 60s or so and started producing independent products, became massive, Canadians put all their money and pension in it and then ... it blew up tanking Canada's economy and pensions.
Why should you watch it?
Because it shows you how fucked up "Free Market" in Canada gets..
Because it shows how Canada has a fundamental relationship with greed... It makes them really blind. I mean really.
Because it shows that when shit really hits the fan, first one to dump its vulnerable people is Canadian goverment.
Because it shows how deeply ingrained "value signalling" is in this society.
Because it shows just how great Canadian folks are at blaming things on other and finding an external cause who is unfair, uncouth and foreign... They ... never look for the real obvious systemic issues. (Frankly, I was literally shaking my head during the section when the real issue that killed Nortel was discussed. It has all the echos of the current housing crisis. Everyone tries finding the villians, except... there was none!)
Most importantly, it shows how really big business in Canada work. It is really eye opening.
If nothing, just watch the second half of the second video. Personally, it was very very interesting for me but then, I do not expect a rather dry documentry to be everyone's taste.
@iSaidGoodDay If you get time, do watch it.. Just double the speed of the video. It sounds funny but very understandable.
I watched a documentary about how the the general public in western countries moved from a collective identity to an individualistic one progressively from baby boomer to gen z era. And how it has cost the society at large to be divided and exploited by the greedy corps here.Absolutely, this is what I meant. All those landlords and big corporations want as many new people coming in as possible.
You’ve basically explained the end result of capitalism. There’s nothing anyone wants to do about it as no other alternative form of economic system actually works. Communist and Socialist countries have been extreme failures and let’s face it, everyone likes to virtue signal about collective well being but no one actually likes to contribute towards that. Once an individual reaches the upper middle class, they hate the fact that their income tax contributions have gone up by a significant margin. A lot of third world immigrants who move to the west, especially the ones who move to European countries, hate high rates of income taxation. Similarly, Europeans who are in the upper middle class, hate paying high levels of income tax and move to tax free regimes in order to save their money. The reality is that most people, wouldn’t think twice about jumping ship and settling in a place permanently if they were ever presented with the opportunity of paying zero taxes. They don’t actually give a rats ass about collective good. Individuals who actually care about contributing towards a collective well being are few and far between. They are an endangered species.I watched a documentary about how the the general public in western countries moved from a collective identity to an individualistic one progressively from baby boomer to gen z era.

I am not an expert because I watched a random youtube video, but I think its likely impossible to come back from the grave the average Canadian and the Govt. has dug itself into. This divide will get worse and worse. Middle class is too busy making ends meet to fight for themselves. The ladder has already been pulled up.
Even before watching the Nortel documentary, I knew Pierre Poilevre is not the solution. Now I know that there is no solution. We are Too busy fighting amongst each other to imagine a collective betterment of the society at large here.
