I don't think any tariffs against the US should be retaliatory; just protectionist at best, but otherwise do nothing.

Reddit is roasting Poilievre, but I agree with Poilievre, here: we need to get an ethics committee to investigate this.
Carney and Eby keep saying that their housing plan that they announced on June 18th isn't a bailout, but every word that comes out of their mouth continues to make it sound like a bailout.

Some comments shared on the Internet:
- "Privatize the profits, socialize the loss"
- "When prices are going up: 'it is just the market. Not a federal responsibility'. When prices come down: 'we need to use federal funds to buy unsold homes'"

Pierre Poilievre says "Canada has too many cause-based awareness months," but I'd say instead that Canada has a "Canada has (barely) one too many Pierre Poilievres seated in parliament problem."
Fuck off, you preening halfwit. #CanadaPolitics

Fascinating.
Usually, Canadians and Americans had an almost free reign across the border at Peace Arch.
Then they put up barricades.
But it's not CBP nor ICE nor the CBSA (and definitely not IRCC) that put these barricades up, but Washington State Parks that did.
Rationale?
They were concerned ICE may nab up anyone crossing without a valid permit, just to meet a quota.
Facinating.

CRTC: Canadian carriers can no longer charge “activation fees”
Rogers: Okay, we comply and instead added a “Device Setup Charge”, even if you have your device already and just called to get it setup for our network.
The CRTC should just immediately slap a $1M/day fine on this bullshit #CanadaPolitics

For any #Canadians interested. There is a current petition to remove the current U.S. Ambassador on grounds of disrespect to Canada's independence.
This is the asshole that has been promoting 51st state as an American Ambassador within Canada.

Alberta to hold non-binding referendum on staying in Canada
Canada's oil-rich province of Alberta will proceed with a non-binding referendum in October on whether its residents want to remain part of Canada, Premier Danielle Smith said, a largely symbolic move that could still pose a major challenge for PM Mark Carney. #canada #alberta #markcarney #daniellesmith #canadapolitics #News #Reuters #Newsfeed Read the story here: 👉 Subscribe: Keep up with the latest news from…

I just saw this site that lists out all MLAs that are landlords.
Unpopular opinion:
I actually want politicians to be landlords or aspire to be landlords.
Then they'd realize: rent control doesn't work, and NIMBYs are obnoxious.
Put an artificial cap on rent, and you get a natural cap in housing creation.
Lift rent control, and watch the supply grow.

RE: https://techhub.social/@manlycoffee/116607639831774824
Canada is utterly incompetent with regards to housing.
What I'd opt for:
- ban improvements taxes; taxes should only be levied against the land not the improvements on them
- ban single-family zonings (sure, single family is allowed, just that municipalities are not allowed to ban higher occupancy)
- ban municipalities and provinces from levying annual rent control (maybe rent increase regulations to make it tolerable for tenants, but that's it)
- reduce the time for landlords to evict delinquent tenants
- Canada must compete with landlords rather than regulating against them; instead of regulating, lead by example! Increase supply (the government can be as selfish as it wants; charge as much rent as it wants, but it needs to remain operationally viable to cover taxes and other costs to unoccupied unit, so in competing with landlords, it may need to drop the rent, but NOT out of charity but out of operational necessity)
