I wonder how many of the "fuck Trudeau" people are upset about this tax being dropped...which was introduced by Trudeau

Someone should tell him that a bunch of people taking pictures of something doesn't automatically mean it's good. It coud be fucking terrible and people are taking pictures and sharing for that reason

Not that it's really going to hurt them, but I cancelled Spotify when I learned they donated to his inauguration. I also will not be visiting your country for a few years, which otherwise I would do.

Ah, true. It is specifically stated that the federal government needs to focus on affordable housing. I know provinces have housing as part of their budgets too, but I'm not really clear on how each level of governments housing budget funnels down to housing/the people.

To be fair about them saying house prices can't come down, any party would be saying that. If prices dropped enough there would be a lot of people across Canada with mortgages higher than the value of their home and that could easily turn into a bad situation.

He does say that the supply needs to be increased, which should help with prices. Demand is outpacing supply by a lot right now.

Do you think that's something they could easily do? It's a nice idea, but it's much more complicated to do anything about that

Out of curiosity, have you switched to another streaming service? I've been trying some others, but I have to say... Spotify works well. Basic functionality seems to be a struggle for some others. Example - Deezer has no memory/awareness of what I was playing on my computer if I switch to my phone

I'm sure anyone reading this knows, but it's really that they weren't allowed to be at the debates rather than they couldn't. Couldn't almost sounds like their leader got sick, wasn't able to travel for some reason, etc

Ok.. that's better than him winning or losing and not quitting

This is always important, but especially with the election coming up. I've heard a lot of people blaming the federal government for things the provincial government is responsible for.

That's not a fair comparison at all. There are more steps to something getting published in a newspaper, magazine, etc. vs showing up on a social media site. The amount of users and content generated on social media does not allow for the same kind of scrutiny, definitely not in a reasonable way.
