When he switched to provincial politics there were rumours that he had never driven a truck before and kind of hated it but was trying to prove how Albertan he was

PT6A posted:EDIT: As regards First Nations home ownership, I have heard that a significant factor is that mortgages are much less available as there are often restrictions on who can own First Nations property - meaning it can't be used as collateral for a mortgage. And while I understand why those restrictions are in place, there's this huge unintended consequence of many First Nations people being shut off from the financial instruments that everyone else uses to afford a home. This comes from a fever dream of the Harperites to deligitimize First Nation sovereignty and turn them into municipalities. Not that there isn't a severe housing crisis on reserves or that the current system is good, but allowing colonial institutions to have liens on FN properties would guarantee immediate balkanization and wouldn't solve the underlying problem of inadequate funding, which would end up being worse after servicing the costs of the one time capital injection. Anecdotally, my native friends' families growing up were completely opposed to individual ownership, despite the serious hardships they experienced.

PT6A posted:Except I can smoke (I don't smoke inside, but I could), I can have pets, and they can't enter my condo if I tell them to gently caress off. Not only was I not allowed to smoke in my condo, I wasn't allowed to smoke on my balcony or in my parking lot. Also they banned weed when it became legal lol.

EvilJoven posted:Aside from eventually having equity in your unit condos are basically all of the risk of home ownership combined with all the rewards of living in an apartment building while co owning a giant complex building along with a bunch of strangers. If you don't immediately see why this is a terrible idea then please tell me what you're smoking. Also you can randomly get charged $50,000 with no warning

eXXon posted:Personally I think managers contribute valuable labour, and CEOs should be able to unionize and negotiate a fair wage of salary and stock options up to an including the median for their employees. There is a union in my local transit system for supservisors/managers, only the ones directly appointed by the city aren't covered afaik. Lots of managers are exploted and managerial labour is absoloutely still labour. Oxyclean posted:When the public transit of my city went on strike and hosed over countless people (namely lower income folks), did that devalue the meaning of a strike? When my public transit went on strike and I didn't own a car I had to walk 5km to work in the winter every day. But I supported the bus drivers because the city could have ended the strike by agreeing to stop exploiting their employees but they chose not to.

flakeloaf posted:Speaking only about Ottawa here, but our city council have gone in with both feet on the urban sprawl ponzi scheme: Take money from developers to build SFHs further out, at a density too low to pay for their own infrastructure, with infrastructure too frail to allow high-rise infill, and make up the shortfall by taking money from developers to build more SFHs even further out than that. Well the thing is you get the permit money now and you only have to pay for the infrastructure for the next 100 years so

I love how Ottawa is freaking out that 95% of our transit trips will no longer be squished into 2 hours a day over like 5 sq km as if that's a bad thing. Oh no maybe we will have to schedule trips at regular intervals throughout the day instead of having busses move at 0.1km/h at 7am and 3pm

Furnaceface posted:Unfortunately we have seen that body cams still do poo poo to protect people. Cameras magically turning off, breaking, or going missing happening at such a high rate in cases of excessive force is a separate real problem. The number of times cops have said "I turned off the cameras now lets falsify some evidence" on camera is > 0 so I don't know how you could ever believe a cop and I would vote to acquit 100% of the time it was only a cops word Also the forensic labs constantly falsify evidence so that doesn't count either

Legault doesn't give a gently caress about the French language or integration. I agree that French needs to be protected but this is just going to create more barriers and more ghettoization. Anecdotally I've been trying to take French lessons but I haven't managed to get a call back from anyone in the last 3 months lol.

Liberals are so astonishingly bad at governing don't believe a word they say. Not because they are lying but because they will gently caress it up somehow. Remember when they hosed up letting stranded BC residents buy groceries in USA, and then spent the weekend having twitter fights about it instead of actually issuing a ministerial order to CBSA?

Cons will never do anything material for unions, but then again neither will libs so pretending not to despise them is a pretty good strategy. I'm actually terrified that it will work.

It's less good than it could be bit it does at least force expectations to be explicit, which helps cut down on abuse ime - similar to requiring every business to have a harassment policy, safety training, accessibility policy, privacy policy, etc.

My black friends allege that racism from Ottawa police is way worse than US cops. Like obviously less likely to be shot but way more likely to be illegally searched, followed, frisked, harassed etc.
