Walking on some surfaces is downright pleasurable. Dewy morning grass or a dry hard packed dirt trail for instance

They prop up prices in a lot of ways, the first one that comes to mind is extending the length of a mortgage. That makes housing both more affordable, but also makes the banks a lot more money.

We have all of our eggs in that basket. Also, I went to an affordable housing conference in 2018. At that point, Canada was in crisis. Prices are much higher now

Thanks... There's a lot of reasons why this analogy isn't going to last now because supply and demand is grade school economics. Check out all of the ways government is subsidizing construction of units. And how does it work when a company is selling units, but they have to have an increase in revenue quarter over quarter? They can't suddenly sell for less. Otherwise stock price will fall and executive's will have to take parachutes. Government doesn't want all these companies to fail, so they prop up the prices. This thing is far too complicated for supply and demand economics. Anyone selling that has invested in real estate

Supply and demand doesn't begin to explain Canadian housing issues. If I have 10 apples that i sell $1/piece, I'm not going to start selling them at $.75/piecewhen I get 30 apples.

How horrible for this woman. Has a global movement focused on her being a 'man' despite being a woman

I guess if you deny a country entry into the Olympics based on genocide and apartheid it's antisemitic

In it's 'war against Hamas' Israel has now bombed 3 countries that has no Hamas

IF Trump is the threat to democracy that the dems say, the shooting was a reasonable response. I hate this 'violence is never the answer ' nonsense. I've been taught my entire life that sometimes violence is justified. For example: ww2, American revolutionary war, civil war, wars for independence (thanks Britain), Haitian uprising....

There's a movement inside of Healthcare to get the average Dr's office humming like a dentist. Which, if you're concerned with patient care at all, is impossible. You'll see it with posters saying only one issue per visit, which also greatly imperils the patient as sometimes a diagnosis will change based off one symptom. You've got a good attitude about this. Please share it

I'm struggling with everything on this article. On the one hand anytime a hostage has been freed, that's good news. On the other, at what cost. 40 000 dead. That's the easy stat. Amputations are also incredibly high. Most of them kids and performed without anesthetic. This is the first time the IDF has rescued hostages. So I'm sitting here with my initial feeling of 'oh, that's good news' ,and then I think about the wider picture and context, and it doesn't seem so good anymore.

I keep seeing people discount Chinese achievement because they 'steal' the tech. I don't think my country could pull this off even after stealing all the tech. It's quite an achievement. I hope this'll show people what's coming. China isn't rising anymore. They're rolling out of bed. The next century belongs to them
