Doctor knows your medical history and can review which one is best for you, since there is risk



I found that the shiny black chrome looking disks seemed to be better than the purple tint kind. Chemically different media. Its anecdotal, not a scientific tested theory


The government should scrap capital gains if you downsize to an appropriate sized house (and can prove you lived there with a larger family and they’ve moved out, to discourage house flippers just overbuying)


Yeah and no. In metro area most homes are allowed to divide basement into 2 legal suites, to maximize density. These aren’t empty.

Owner above may have a spare room when kid moves out. What I have seen is East and South Asians will often rent a room out, but whitefolk seem to prioritize single family only. That is a Western hangup.

So empty bedroom doesn’t really equate to an indendant unit on the market.

Anecdotally we have downsized as the kids moved out. We had 3500sqft place at one time , now in 800sqft condo as empty nesters.


That’s what I’m saying too. People keep moving here, because who wants to live in Winnipeg. And so Winnipeg has open units and we have to create more. Empty homes in undesired locations skew the country wide average too look like we have open housing everywhere and therefore house prices aren’t a supply/demand problem. But supply and demand is exactly what drives prices up her and low in less nice regions


Exactly, that’s why the stats of housing as an average across Canada, don’t affect Toronto or Vancouver, its a supply and demand problem locally. The other bank , rates, foreign ownerships don’t help, but we just have too few homes out here, and more and more people arrive



Across Canada maybe, but Vancouver is not like that. When a place comes up for rent landlords have mentioned they have 50 applicants the first few hours that day and have to take the ad down.

This metro area is building high density housing on previous forest and farm land, and they are always snapped up quickly. I forget that stats, but something like 1000 new people move to metro area every month from other countries and provinces.

The rent is high here because of a lack of units available. Among the financial BS with banks.

In Vancouver people build a minimum 200 sq foot outbuilding in the back yard and as long as it has bicycle storage it is considered a rentable housing unit.


But also a supply shortage, out in Vancouver anyway. People dividing living rooms in half to act as bedrooms




Yes, what’s weird is they claim to be advocates for trans rights, lbtq2s+ (whatever the newer designations are) and support all that locally, yet don’t seem to find issue supporting a country that is against those values. For a fee reasons we cut contact this year.



Nah my parents are boycotting. My sister on the other hand heads there to vacation and shop


You can request anyone’s birth certificate, if you know enough info about date, place, name etc



I think it definitely has gotten a tarnished reputation. But even modern software tiers are standard, advanced, premium and premium means you get all the features at a huge price
