The left seems awfully worried about home values
Why do you think it's the left that's worried about home values?

I live in Canada. I used to visit the States probably every other year. Then Trump was elected in 2016, and I stopped going. Then covid happened, so I figured I'd wait a bit longer. And now it'll be another 3 years until I even consider it, but that largely depends on what happens in that time span. It's not out of the question to just never visit again. There are plenty of other places in the world that I haven't seen yet.
There's a good chance that many or all of these cases are in the Mennonite community.
That's not an explanation of why he should be barred from office.
He's Catholic, but he's not trying to make Canada Catholic. Trudeau and Poilievre are also Catholic. In fact, every single PM of Canada has been either Catholic or Protestant.
Sue them for what? They are fully within their rights to run anti-abortion ads and reject pro-choice ads.
when he says that trump wouldn’t win election without him, I wish people would respond that he is full of bullshit and trump alone would win anyway, pushing him to say more.
I believe that Trump may not have won without him. He weaponized twitter to push misinformation against the Dems and in favour of Trump. I don't know if the result of that can be quantified in such a way that we'd know for sure whether it changed the outcome, but it certainly had an impact.
It's not organized by left and right. It's organized by percentage of people who have an unfavorable view of Israel.
It would be weirder for 0% to be on the right and 100% to be on the left. Also, in theory, it's possible for those three dots to be in any order on the line.
About the same price as PP's forced byelection will cost.
Did you read the article, or are you just complaining about the headline?
"$X per Y" is a very normal way of phrasing things in financial reports. Like, Xiaomi had an earnings per share of $0.15. That doesn't mean that the shares are what earned them that money.
Losing $900 per car is just a shorthand way of saying "Xiaomi Group released its Q1 2025 financial report yesterday. The report shows significant progress in its electric vehicle business, with 75,869 SU7 series vehicles delivered during the quarter. The company announced plans to expand production capacity, with cumulative deliveries of the SU7 series now exceeding 258,000 units. In the first quarter of 2025, Xiaomi’s smart electric vehicle and AI innovation business segment generated total revenue of 18.6 billion yuan (2.58 billion USD). Electric vehicle sales accounted for 18.1 billion yuan(2.51 billion USD), while other related businesses contributed 500 million yuan (70 million USD). The smart electric vehicle and AI segment reported a gross profit margin of 23.2% for the quarter, with an operating loss of 500 million yuan (70 million USD). Based on these figures, Xiaomi’s electric vehicle business posted an average loss of 6,500 yuan (903 USD) per vehicle in Q1 2025, a substantial improvement from 2024 when the company’s EV division recorded a net loss of 6.2 billion yuan (862 million USD) on 136,854 delivered vehicles, representing an average loss of approximately 45,000 yuan (6,250 USD) per unit" which is a bit wordy for a headline.
I think adjusting by municipality is a bad idea.
A flat basic income across the country promotes migration to lower COL areas. An adjusted basic income promotes migration to higher COL areas in order to get a bigger income. While different areas having different COLs is pretty unavoidable, I don't think making high-COL areas more attractive is a good idea.
I'm also not a huge fan of adjusting for couples vs. single people. I get why they do it, it's an easy way to save money. But the actual expenses of you living with a roommate (as you suggested) compared to you living with a roommate that you're also sleeping with, don't change very much. (I have similar complaints about household income being used for basically everything except taxes, but that's a little further off topic.)

Despite these options not being mutually exclusive, I think I would be in the 17.2%. I'm not buying US booze now, but I wasn't buying it before either.
Mostly this survey is pretty bad, and I don't think we can make any good conclusions from the results.
