#Flippin’ houses in #Canada is a dead game: too much overhead, taxes, and crazy prices on material + first 250K gain gets clipped at 50%, anything over that smacked at 66.7%. Real move: if you’re handy, throw up some semis, keep them and rent ‘em out. Long play, but safe money! My work in progress!

💯 👍 I remember in my 20s, environmentalists warning us about climate change — wildfires, floods, hailstorms in July, stronger hurricanes/storms. I was skeptical. Now I’m almost 50… and it’s all real. It’s different when we live it. But hey, overconsumption and “Drill Baby Drill”, right Trump? 🤦‍♂️

Chrétien faced serious ethics issues as PM:
– Sponsorship Scandal;
– Shawinigate: conflict of interest in hotel loan;
– Appointing insiders and allies to the Senate, Crown corporations, and judicial appointments;
– Delayed corruption probes;
– Questionable fundraising links to gov. contracts.

You know that you’re talking about the same guy who pushed the “White Paper” right?

Chrétien’s 1969 White Paper:
– Scrap the Indian Act
– End “Indian Status”
– Kill the “Indian Affairs” Dept
– Hand Indigenous issues to provinces
– Privatize reserve lands
– One-time payout to assimilate

You’ve got it all wrong. Provincial regulations are already robust, and professional orders enforce them; engineers must comply or risk losing their license. Carney is just eliminating a redundant federal layer that added no real oversight, only confusion, delays, duplication, and uncertainty.
