Wynne's deplorable divisive comment

Buzz62 said:
lol...touche.

No I'm just mussing that the PC movement seems to advocate for inclusion and acceptance...except when it doesn't suit them...or Wynne...
There's allot of howling about how the nationalists are this and the nationalists are that...but look at the physical evidence. It appears its these very people who feel justified in being violent and bigoted.

Wynne is an idiot...that's all this article indicates, no further generalizations can be derived from it. And if you need this article to tell you that, please use your next post to tell me what the peyote trip you've been on for the last 5 years was like... haha :lol:

Peyote...what memories...or lack there of...its literally been decades.

Wynne has paraded around lecturing people on acceptance. She's been doing this all along, and has been cheered on by her supporters, which gave her a majority government last time around. That tells me there were...and likely still are...allot of people who agree with Wynne. Yet she and her supporters feel justified to be bigoted when it suites them?

Wynne's a gawd-damn hypocrite, and so are those who support this 2-faced bull pie. I hope you do not.

I own property too, but the ability to flip my property at a better price within a couple of years, which I'm not looking to do, at the cost of dangerously overheating the real estate market and crowding out most domestic buyers is not at all worth it, especially when you consider it's entirely possible and even probable that you miss the peak before it collapses.

Tosca, Tosca, you and I have been doing so good, don't get all up in my shorts now! ;)

First of all, I said many are pissed at them, not hate them. So, if you're gonna rage on me, at least quote me correctly. Go ahead, have a quick look.

Second of all...no to everything you added to my statement. Like, all of it. I mean, saying someone is pissed at someone else doesn't even technically imply that they deserve it (that's a whole other debate), let alone all that other stuff you imagination lead you to believe I was saying. I love old people - you wanna find Conservatives without their head up their ass, you'll find the greatest concentration of them in the 65+ crowd. My grandmother is 90, is a life long white, Christian conservative, and there is no one in the whole world I'd rather talk politics with. (She cried when they announced Doug Ford was leading the Ontario PC's, by the way....this will be the first time in her life that she plans not to vote. Just an aside, pertaining to other conversations you and I have been having.)

So, no, to all that stuff you made up, and seriously, really? I guess we've gotta spend more time together, if that's how you think I think.

Anyway, I already said I think Wynne is an idiot...don't get all bent and twisted over my sparring with Buzz, it's kind of our thing sometimes. :)

I didn't mean you think they deserve that. I was asking, and clarifying what you're saying.

Ok, cool... :) Of course I don't think that they deserve any of the things you mentioned. Has that generation earned the anger? Well....hehe... I mean, that's a whole other conversation, and it's a lot more complicated than yes or no...but no, regardless, they do not deserve to be abused in senior's homes, or to be insulted in the streets, or any of those other things.

I like old people, I'm slowly becoming one myself! ;)

They're cranky koots! I'm getting there, myself. :lol:
 
Since Wynne had started it........how is this for fear-mongering?

For someone who's vying to lead and represent everyone - especially when she's currently the encumbent - Wynne, of all people.....



.........shouldn't stir up negative feelings towards the vulnerable.

That's fine. I'm looking after my kids, not the masses.

Assuming you time your sales about perfectly and your kids don't suffer from the economic shock and fallout that would surely result from the inevitable popping of such a bubble, then yes, you would be; otherwise, not so much.

Um, I don't think it's at all a stretch to say that there would be significant consequences for the broader economy when that bubble blows up as it inevitably would.
 
Why are people getting their shorts in a knot over this? Premiere Wynne is a shameless politico, an irrational ideologue and a first class idiot to boot. Is it any wonder that she has once again put her own foot in her mouth so firmly? Just chalk it up to her customary ineptitude and carry on. As bad as she is, however, she is probably not as dangerous as Doug Ford. Thus the prudent course would be to either make a massive province-wide swing to a third party (I shudder at the memories of the Bob Rae NDP years) or to.elect a lame and hobbled minority Liberal government to further discredit and dislodge Wynne from the party leadership. No need to mimic our good neighbours to the south and shoot ourselves in the political foot by electing a character as odious, ill-qualified and bent as Doug Ford is in a mindless, populist, protest vote.

Cheers.

There 'would' be...yes.
That's part of investing in property, or the stock market. Analyzing risk and mitigating it. But the risk always exist. If it didn't, we'd all be stuck with controlled profits like with GICs.
 
I don't live in "Canadia" so I am not qualified to weigh in, except to say this one thing:

You Canucks are certainly carrying on a much more civil, enlightening and educated debate about this issue than most of us Yanks have been doing these days, and it's damn refreshing.

I wish you bon chance in the outcome.

I work in real estate (commercial mainly, but I get the data for the residential markets); I also trade currency and stock, and am very aware of the idea of risk vs reward which is the bread and butter of the latter, while being a very important consideration in the former case.

However, unless you're embedded deep in the real estate market, you probably will not be able to time a bubble correctly, or at least optimally (and even if you were I'd doubt it).

Beyond that, there's also the fact that a bubble inherently means malinvestment which means economic shock when the return to equilibrium eventually happens; bubbles aren't good, nor is policy that encourages it.
