The problem are not landlord… At least, not traditional one. It’s because we treat a basic need as an investment. A home should not be an investment. It should be something like a car, it should depreciate with time.
Another thing is NIMBY. Preventing new construction project to protect your investment is another cause of this shitshow.
Another thing is urbanism rule. Homeowner should be allowed to build something on their land instead of playing the lawn competition every year.
Solve these and the landlord thing is gone. The landlord outrage is a distraction from the real plague. It’s just a symptom. Of course a landlord will raise the price if it can, that’s how a market works. Landlord can raise the price because we don’t construct enough. That is the real outrage and that’s what we should focus on. Not this shitty ragebait dividing piece of false problem.
Renting is useful for so many reason. Not everyone wants to take care of a house or can afford one.
If you only work at a temporary place for example. You don’t want to bother caring for a house. You want to be able to move whenever you like. You can’t afford a loan or you can’t get one. You cannot guaranty that you will work in the near future.
A mortgage is something that will lock you down to a place. Buying a plac is also something that lock you down. You wanna move to another town for a new job ? Sell the house, buy a new one. That sucks. It’s faster to just rent for a while then maybe buy something after.
Kelly O’Connor, an immigration lawyer in Toronto, said she gasped out loud when she saw the text. Any medical worker who denies care to someone hurt in a war zone is committing a “serious breach of the Geneva Convention,” she said in an interview....
Hamas is considered a terrorism organization by Canada. 70%+ of Palestiniens support Hamas. I don’t think it would be normal to not ask questions to Palestinians, especially what they did in Egypt and Jordan.
You wouldn’t want Hamas activism in Canada. Even if the Genocide must be stopped, Hamas still cold bloodily killed 1200 civilians.
Like, imagine having Hamas activism in Canada. They wouldn’t just protest. They would probably be much more violent.
Yea, I would assume Canada is not breaking Geneva convention here. Just assessing what kind of people are in the country. Unless I missunderstood, they are not excluding these people because they gave medical attention to Hamas soldier/activist.

Feel free to make your own research. I will never in a million years install TikTok or any of their related applications on any of my systems. It’s just… untrustworthy.
This doesn’t feel truth to me. The genocide in Gaza is happening but this story feels way too biased. This story is just unbelievable and if it was truth, this person would be able to file a complaint. This feels like propaganda.
The good solution is more co-op housing and low income housing. The housing market is fucked, a good portion of it is privatized. The landlord may be shitty but who would want to take the risk to lose their assets because they let someone that does not care about anything into their appartment? I did this mistake once, helping someone I didn’t know. Weird dude, low income but hey, everyone is different. I almost had to sell my property because the dude wrecked the place. He was beating his girlfriend, smoking weed inside, making noise, breaking all the rules, you name it. But man, the dude looked pretty normal, a bit weird but overall, normalish.
It’s not fair for everyone because landlord cannot take too many risk. Someone that looks shady like this guy won’t have many chances in the private market. Ideally, housing market shouldn’t be a market. It should be something else because like me, I wouldn’t take a guy like this in my property and the reason is I don’t want to take risk of losing it all because I have a big hearth.
It’s not the same thing but you don’t know the other person. You only see a dude with a lot of tattoo, no girlfriend, a child. He can’t find any appartment because of his looks and track record. His credit is probably shit. We don’t know the reason why he can’t stay there. Why wouldn’t the landlord allow it is strange. In any case, housing market that is too privately owned will cause this shit. Private owner cannot take asamy risks as a co-op or a gov founded place.
lol, good arguments my dude. Touch some grass and get back in reality.
That’s the sad reality we live in. You look like a criminal or a drug addict ? Then doors are gonna be closed on you. That’s exactly why I’m saying housing should be coop or gov owned.
Read my comments again and understand what I’m saying before commenting. It’s not what you think it is. Learn to fucking read moron.
