@Justin__NC @POTUS Or or or … hear me out. Follow Canada and other countries who don’t allow open carry, don’t allow citizen to buy guns in Walmart before being legally allowed to purchase alcohol. 288 school shootings in the US since 2009. 19 school shootings in Canada since 1884.

@mandelorean He’s put us into record debt that will not be paid off for generations. Immigration has skyrocketed, to unprecedented levels. How about the millions (probably billions) he has given in contracts to his family and friends. The endless scandals that come out from his gov’t….

@yvrairport Mass cancellations? You failed the hundreds of people waiting on the tarmac. No busses, no gates. Absolutely ridiculous. I’m on hour 10 of sitting on the tarmac. Ppl have been discussing a law suit.

And we wonder why the birth rate is declining… young couple tries to start a family and is hit with a 20% rent increase. What a joke. @RE_MarketWatch.
A Vancouver family may be forced to move after receiving notice from their landlord that their additional occupant was going to raise the rent. The additional occupant is their newborn child.

@TransLink Extremely disappointing and should not be allowed to happen. The bus is an essential service. How many people are losing wages now because of greed? Supervisors make an excellent wage. Extremely disheartening how once again the lower class will be impacted most by this.

@PlumridgeNancy @EricDLombardi @MikePMoffatt Nancy, I’m almost 30. Been renting since I was 19, trying to save to buy a place. Have had roommates, rented rooms. And guess what, I *still* can’t afford anything to buy. Clearly what worked for you and your generation is not feasible for the current generation.

@cutecanukgirl @b_regehr @Ronyleafs @mandelorean @AMCKunneke My mom makes 40k more a year in Arizona, pays way less income tax, property tax, gas & groceries are cheap. I’m sure someone will reply with “what about healthcare?” And guess what, she has 100% employer paid health benefits and better access to medicine than me.

@RE_MarketWatch This is comical lol! Are we supposed to feel bad? Don’t buy a 2+ million dollar home if you “just want to buy your first home” 🤨 seems like she’s also forgotten that no one held a gun to her head and made her sign a contract.

@RE_MarketWatch I don’t think people realize. I just helped my team lead shortlist. For a semi-experienced (wanting 2 years-ish) administrative assistant we had over 1000 applicants. I’ve never seen anything like it. This is for Vancouver - $28 an hour w/benefits.

@jesse_kleine It’s true. My mom recently moved from Vancouver to Arizona. Her air con. bill was $600usd/ month. But, her rent is only $1200 for a massive house. She was renting a crap box for $2000/month in Van. She says she will never move back! Cost of living is cheaper and her job pays well.

@stustin @globeandmail Did you know that earnings have remained stagnant over the last 9 years? But hey, carbon tax and liquor tax going up in 2 days.
Average weekly earnings of Canadian workers grew by 1.6% between January 2015 and January 2023 (after adjusting for increases in the prices of the goods and services they buy). That's 1.6% over 9 years or 0.18% per year. I'd say that's best described as "flat."

This is a perfect example of boomers who just don’t get it.
@EricDLombardi @MikePMoffatt If it’s housing where we are harming them, today’s young expect a house from the get go. I rented a room in a house for 2 years before I could afford to rent an apartment. Rented several apartments until I could afford to buy a tiny bungalow, then gradually bought a larger house.
