I don’t think it is forceful - Trump said it would be economic - I guess offering “deal” Canada cannot refuse. I think he is bluffing at this point - clearly this is just in his head. If there is a concrete plan of some EU-style economic union with mostly political autonomy, I think it may be beneficial to Canada - the reality is that Canada cannot prosper without relying on the USA.

I think a municipal sales tax is technically possible.

As usual, Chow misleads the public - the biggest increase goes to the most generous ever public-union contracts, and I don’t think that this will make TTC run better or the streets cleaner.

He is not WEF-trained

I don’t think so, people who experienced violence in Winnipeg say the gangsters would use style of hair or anything else to start beating people.

This came up during the trial and judge agreed that it was not hate crime since they did not know the victims were Ukranians before approving them.

There was another attack on Ukranians at “the Forks”, were the guys who stubbed them were late heard mocking what they were saying “I am from Ukraine”

I am pretty shocked how violent Winnipeg is. Seeing CBC headlines “Safe in Winnipeg, these Ukrainians still hold out hope for the war at home”, and then reading multiple news about these Ukranians falling victims to violent crime makes me wonder if they should have stayed in Poland or Ukraine…

Not nominally, but she copied “progressive” policies of the US Democrats run cities:

• tax increases
• allowing homeless to camp anywhere in the cities
• housing first approach
• normalizing hard drugs trade and use

And I think the results will be the same as in San Francisco and anywhere else such policies were implemented

Changes in Toronto are already pretty obvious

How Is he wrong here?

I don’t really have an opinion on weather this particular decision is justified - tenant boards are known to usually side with tenants. But, to be fair, setting rent controlled increases to amount less then inflation is not really fair - it creates imbalances, where wealthy tenant maybe paying way less than market rates (like surgeons renting in San Francisco)

Do you propose to start building communism? If not, how exactly this is going to work?
