Another expert I saw mentioned that their predictions of the worst-case stuff for the future is that it will be twice as bad compared to now. A lot of lives and houses, infrastructure, etc. can be lost when live in a reality where our fire fighting has to pick and choose which cities and livelihoods we save.
TSX Venture exchange is also worth a shot
Excellent, keep it up government. Thank you to the Senate and to the house of Commons 👏👏 great job following Australia!

Yes this is true everywhere in Canada. Property owners have very few obligations beyond mowing the lawn and paying property taxes which have shrunk by 70% since the late 90s relative to the sale price of a home. It’s dirt cheap to own a property once you’ve acquired it.
Winnipegs mill rate is 12.9 today. In 2002 it was 29! Before that it was even higher.
I left Toronto because I couldn’t afford to buy a somewhat cheap condo or a reasonable house. My household income was $160k at the time. It’s a nice city with great services, great people, but the housing is unbelievable - it forced me and my family out with our two kids.
I have also visited Copenhagen and it’s the same there - extremely high housing costs means that you’re poor by default unless you bought in 20-30 years ago. Great, I can buy a beer for 5 kroner, but housing is an apartment for $300k
Calgary, Sydney, Auckland, Vancouver… yes, all of these also apply.
15 now. This is rivaling the Humboldt tragedy 😔
Better to live in a city where you’re anonymous? 🤔
