The rent on the Halifax townhouse Iโ€™m sharing for the summer has increased 53% in 3 years. Itโ€™s changed (renter) hands twice in that time, so that increase was legal. Butโ€ฆ 53 percent in 3 years? People. Thatโ€™s a scam. Thatโ€™s a scam to drain money from ordinary people and enrich the wealthy.

Part 5: The Geography of a False Confession - Halifax Examiner This is a false confession. The RCMP concocted a fantastical story, but one so convoluted and with so many internal contradictions that it is impossible.

what really annoys me is that we don't have to wait until the wheels fall off [your preferred vehicle] before we actually improve the situation. (this applies broadly to everything right now.)

Saving the CBC is really about saving Canada Pierre Poilievre reportedly has plans to slash the CBC's budget. That would be a disaster for national unity.

Saving the CBC isn't just about protecting your favourite program or personality. It's about preserving national unity -- and preventing Canada from being subject to a hostile foreign takeover. www.nationalobserver.com/2024/11/19/o...

Good definition for a term thrown around often:

"Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."
