In the greater Toronto area. So many vacant condo units. Pre-construction buildings not having enough sold units to meet threshold and thus not being built. Builders being forced to reduce pricing or offer up better incentives to buyers.

But who has $20,000 sitting around to make a down payment on a 1 Million dollar townhome? Wages need to go up. That starts with our employers.

Why are they trying to build more houses when we have a surplus of units? Builders aren’t building anymore because their existing inventory isn’t selling.

They won’t drop prices because of greed and using real estate as investments. So now we have immigrants with low-paying jobs trying to buy homes with inflated price tags.

Either lower prices of homes or start paying workers more so they can afford homes.

Because he has no opposition. Ontario wants better leadership. Only 20% of eligible voters voted Ford into a Majority. But the NDP and LIBs can’t prop up a strong, charismatic leader that people can get behind - for the past 8 years!

And people 💩 on teachers for “getting summers off”

At least teachers work. These politicians just pad their pockets with bribes while passing legislation that only benefits the rich.

Could never sleep properly before kids. Now, I’m tired all the time and could fall asleep in seconds, on any surface.

True true! I’m just old enough to remember the big separatist movement from Quebec in 1995 when they narrowly voted to stay a part of Canada.

The anti-American / pro-Canadian sentiment is huge right now. The switch to EB (Electronic Boutique) will bump sales for sure.

Just think it’s a little ironic that it’s a Quebec company that’s saving it.

Half-serious… but I don’t understand how speeding is a problem in the GTA.

Every time I head out, I’m stuck in traffic because of road construction, condo construction, rush hour congestion or just bad drivers.

I’d love to have enough space to actually do the speed limit one day.

I don't see how any of this matters.

He is literally and figuratively above the law. He will face zero consequences.

This is it. When they forced us back into the office, it was less about afternoon naps and avoiding traffic. It was more about being able to see my dr that closes at 4pm or taking my elderly parents to their appointments. Cooking dinners to avoid takeout and getting ‘me’ time between zoom calls. They took that away from us. Now it’s 9-5 and not a minute more.

You can be unpopular and still be democratically elected. That's so awful. Gotta fix voter apathy.

I was happy with my Ontario Carbon Rebate cheques. The conservatives really had their way in the media, re-dubbing it "carbon tax" when it was actually a very good program with money back from. I hate how sports reporters have more tenacity than those covering politics.

Water Heater (lemmynsfw.com)

How many gallons / litres is your home water heater?

We live in a suburban 4 bedroom detached home. I find that after my wife and kid shower, I’m stuck showering in cold water.

Are they using too much water or is my water heater just not big enough?

Edit: not my photo. We currently have a 50gal tank.

 

They haven't called an election yet I got this today. Looks a little sus.

The barcode on the cover is the actual barcode you scan to purchase. A reference to selling the hard white.
