The provincial maximum on rent-controlled apartments last year was 2.5 per cent, but Sharpe’s building has no limit because Ontario Premier Doug Ford removed controls on any rental units built or occupied after November, 2018.

Yet another thing that our Conservative Premier here in Ontario has done, yet the public is still going to blame the federal government.

Or, paraphrased: "Pay attention to me!! me. ME. Me me me. Me"

I know what you're saying, and I agree that X is extremely problematic.

I think the difference is that X is owned by private individuals, whereas they're saying here that TikTok is under the control of the Chinese state. I wonder if there are different rules at play for estate actors?

There's something unsettling about PostMedia eating up all of these locals. They've shown that they're interested in being Fox News for Canada; playing fast and loose with facts, and stoking fear and anger.

Not really something that is legal that should be illegal, but I would love to see this nonsense that corporate executives can't be held criminally responsible (the corporation is) for their illegal acts. I think it would correct an awful lot of shitty things corporations do really quickly (assuming enforcement).

Funny you say that. One of our province's far right premiers, blamed "progressives" for the same kind of rhetoric in Canada that led to the Trump shooting in the US.

Sounds like she's getting her taking points from South of the border

But why won't anyone think of the shareholders?!

Anyone else feeling deflated?

Good!

If only we could go after the individuals responsible for making the decisions too...

Agreed. Not only are moose drawn to the roadside, but we're salinating our lakes and rivers 🫤

It's always the same playbook with these guys...

What a time to be alive!
