CBC Radio Toronto had an interesting piece today about Amazon's new headquarters and the costs of encouraging a tech boom in the city. They had an economist on who argued that tech booms increase inequality and displace the working class. This isn't exactly news but what IS news is the fact that these issues are being covered in light of how much everyone seems invested in the new HQ. Radio One seems indistinguishable from rich liberal Boomer radio most days so I'm glad they had someone addressing issues that will primarily affect young people and lower income earners.

toronto's already been sliding this way for a while, what with most lower income housing in need of serious repair or way past their lifespan. the housing market, condo development and general disdain for social programs amongst many torontonians means this process will continue unabated.

incidentally toronto rates high on the quality of life index, along with vancouver and san francisco in North America, which goes to show you how important inequality is to being considered a nice place to live. montreal being the exception although it's still relatively expensive compared to much of quebec

I've voted liberal ~strategically~ for so long it'll be nice to finally put one in for another party, even if it's the ONDP. Thanks for the advice.

At least I can look forward to the PCs tearing themselves apart. Part of me thinks that Doug Ford would win them the election somehow

Almost half of Ontario voters disapprove of Doug Ford as leader of the Progressive Conservatives, but the party is still poised to win a majority in the upcoming provincial election, according to a new public opinion poll.

Of the 923 Ontario voters surveyed Sunday by the Forum Poll, 48 per cent said they disapprove of Doug Ford, 36 per cent said they approve and 16 per cent said they don’t know.

If an election were held on Sunday, the Liberals would lose, securing only 23 per cent of the vote, or 11 seats, according to the poll. The New Democrats would come in second, with 27 per cent, and the PCs would win with 44 per cent.

the only craven act of politicizing so far has been the police’s new idea to ban handguns in the city. Not that it’s a bad idea, but didn’t we already learn that the gun game illegally from the US?

Quebec as a province is just as hosed as the rest of us. It is a province full of bad politics and racists, much like the ROC.

That said, my wife and her entire family are pur-laine québécois who are either bilingual or speak enough English to get by. They’re nice people who don’t hate the dreaded anglos, don’t want to separate, and aren’t a bunch of racists.

Quebec is a land of contrasts.

as a first time home buyer in Toronto, $780 is loving insanity. I bought for WAY less than that

The government owns a percentage of the house with this incentive so really Trudeau is just nationalizing the housing market faster. Minus points but still the #1 conservative option

weird. now the government is essentially buying shares in this devil market, doubling down on the mistakes of the past

also giving an unfair advantage in the market to people who buy after the policy is enacted

just... libs
