    While tragic, its incredibly common. I seem to be missing the context on why this is a press conference and news story? Was there something bigger at play?

    Meanwhile we borrowing money to fund wars where kids are being bombed to smithereens over ideology and resources

    If only there was someone in charge of the city who could build them shelter. Alas, there is no such person

    She’s a pro-AirBNB pro-landlord mayor who won on NIMBY votes and expanding parking at the expense of community spaces. Those tears are faker than Justin Trudeau’s. This is exactly where her policies lead us.

  5. ITT: people thinking you increase rental supply by imposing *even more* regulation. Absolutely nuts.

    Edit: as a thought experiment, I encourage you to investigate renting out a room in your apartment and all the reasons not to do that under the Quebec regs even when you have the room and could use the money.

    The consequences of maximizing profit on something that’s essential to prevent freezing to death in a cold country.

    For context, both of these were elderly people who passed away in their sleep. They’re not freezing to death on the streets, though that’s obviously also a potential risk.

    No no no no no that’s bullshit. Don’t believe for a second that these professional landlords-become-politicians entered the political arena for ANYTHING other than enriching the already avaricious asset class. They are there for home OWNERS. NOT the renters, NOT the homeless, NOT the poor.
