  • I recently bought a home, and even though I get screwed in a sense if prices plummet, I completely agree they should. Homes should be primarily to live in, not an investment mechanism. There’s nothing wrong with owning an appreciating asset, be it a home or anything else, but it’s not the government’s place to guarantee that (other than bonds they issue, obviously).

    The Prime Minister represents the people of Nepean in Parliament, whether they voted for him or not, and he heads the Canadian Government on behalf of the citizens of Canada. A more correct title to your post would be “I disagree with the Prime Minister”. It’s absolutely right that this cabinet is trying to have their cake and eat it on housing: increasing supply and magically preventing prices for existing units from depreciating. That being said, and even though it’s besides the point: the Cons would done worse.













  • I wouldn’t say pale in comparison. Enterprise was really good in my opinion. Lower Decks and Prodigy too, these are a bit different, but have the same spirit I think.

    I also rewatch The Original Series episodes every once in a while. The show as a whole is not really good by modern standards, but it has gems and it’s interesting to see where it all began.

    Every show except Discovery has a balance of great episodes, filler episodes, and bad episodes. Discovery was bad from A to Z.





  • I watch 929 episodes (out of 930 to date), the 10 shorts, and the 14 movies. Out of devotion. Section 31 was indeed awful, what can I say. But it’s only 90 minutes and you lose nothing if you multitask while watching.

    IMO Lower Decks and Prodigy, the two animated shows, were the best by far of New Trek. Strange New Worlds is quite OK (and I have a soft spot for it since the Toronto episode). I hope it continues on the right path.
