^^ not really, I feel more it's we're to poor to build things like infrastructure, bridges, and tunnels, ferry's to support population growth, housing growth. Cuz we have no skilled manufacturing. We spent too much money on crack and liquor for the natives, hotels for the Muslims and Mexicans. Gaza, Ukraine women need money? Say no more fam. But when we try to get China to build it cuz they actually can, for the price that we can afford. The white unions comes out and says no we have to keep our lazy inefficient jobs.

So many people ARENT suffering financially but claim they are as well. The amount of times I’ve heard some fuckbag in a Porsche talk about how fucked over he is because of the cost of things outweighs the complaints I’ve heard from normal people who have every right to complain.
Maybe if they were complaining about how bad other people had it I’d not want to vomit in their face when I hear it.

You should put up a sign in your restaurant. We don’t serve Porsche customers.

68style is just old, rich, insulated and ignorant.
I'm in Peachland and if you're walking on the lake with your kid and baby momma to Peachland Sushi, the birds are chirping, the sun is out, everyone is happy, and the place looks nice.... but I don't pretend the massive, disgusting poverty of the Rail Trail encampments and the fucking gulag of the DTES doesn't exist.
This country is legitimately killing misfits on purpose, burying and covering-up anything against the narrative, and fabricating more and more native land-claim and residential school bullshit to further divide the country by race and status.
This country is swirling the toilet bowl. Everyone knows it. Read some Reddit about young people in Canada struggling to find work or even move out of mom's fucking basement. I read so many stories of 23ish year old guys who can't do anything in life, meanwhile, at that age I made my best month ever, something like $24,000 in a month!
Knowing how much pressure and stress people are under these days compared to only even a decade ago, let alone how fucking insanely easy life was 20 years ago for most people.... maybe it is why I am extra friendly most days and you'd thinik I live in fucking Mr. Rodger's Neighbourhood with how friendly and kind I usually am.
Most people are 1-2 paydays from being homeless, and with smart phones, being cancelled, social media, you bet that most 9-5 cattle slaves are on their best behavior while the crackheads already have nothing to lose and act out all the time... before the system finishes them off with an overdose.
Just imagine how much worse this country would be if we hadn't killed those, what, 50k people dead from drug overdoses in the last 10 years? I don't even remember the stats anymore. Canada purges people deliberately. | lol the guy who starts almost half his sentences with “most people” like he surveyed everyone, and obviously didn’t because saying most people are broke or a pay check away from death is absolutely ridiculous. Maybe in the circle of losers you keep?
If I’m so rich why did I move to Calgary to buy a house?
The absolute worst I ever felt was when I read X every day and it tried SO HARD to indoctrinate me into this nihilistic view of the world even though all I ever followed officially were video game and sports related posters, it refuses to show me those in the daily feed and instead tries to convince me that every public washroom has a tranny waiting to touch my kid or woke woke woke gay gay gay injustice injustice injustice… every corner is a darkness lurking! Thanks goodness I never bothered to read Reddit either (barf!) but best thing I ever did was delete that fucking app and start going out and connecting with people instead of sitting in my basement being a miserable piece of shit.
Nobody knows anything about me everywhere I go, I been driving anything from a U-Haul to a car transport to a 2004 Lexus or a motorcycle or even a Miata… you meet people who are poor or probably racist dumb and smart and sometimes they got funny ideas… I spent an hour in Nelson in an alley talking to a guy living in a tent at one point and he was crazier than shit but he still felt like there was both good and bad in his travels, most of his complaints were about government controls and getting beat up by drunk dudes when he hit on their girlfriends on Friday nights.
“Most people” lol what a joke. You didn’t survey anyone except your little echo chamber of misery online. Getting cancelled online? Last time I checked that was just YOU actually. “Most people” don’t give a fuck about social media and numbers of actual users relative to population support that.
Also, we’re the same age ya dumbass. I just didn’t piss my life away being an arrogant narccisstic retard believing I’m in a special little club (cabal!!??!!) of people online who know more than “most people” do lol

I just didn’t piss my life away being an arrogant narccisstic retard believing I’m in a special little club (kabal!!??!!) of people online who know more than “most people” do lol | The economic situation is a lot more bleak for most people that you'd first guess! My time spent exiled in shit living conditions while navigating backwater places and towns of rubes.... I got to see and know the struggling of the people. What a spiritual journey.
Personally, life is just getting started with the AI and I'm really excited. But who can pretend that the AI is not about to totally and royally fuck so many other people over so hard if they stick to the old ways.
Such is life, rock the good times and push through the tough. Things about to get a LOT better for me... but it makes me sad to see so many other Canadians absolutely so fucked. Soooooooo fucked. The misery of people who fall into the "RV Living*" and get stuck in a broken down, shit-filled RV that freezes in the winter and cooks in the summer... the 420th circle of Canadian hell.
(*My life NEVER got that bad!)

Maybe if they were complaining about how bad other people had it I’d not want to vomit in their face when I hear it. | A few weeks ago, my parents had a bbq and they invited their neighbours over. One of them drives a Panamera + Model Y and the wife was talking about how expensive vacations are now, and she was talking as if she was poor and had no money, but just came back from europe and bought a new Chanel bag.
And the most annoying part for me was that some people at the bbq didn't have a lot of money or go on expensive vacations, I guess she wouldn't know that, but still.
So I just made the joke, "Oh man, you probably have to sell the porche" everyone laughed, and the husband lol'd and said, well we don't have to go that far...
Yeah buddy, I know you don't.
(I should note, the guy was cool, but the wife was the shake your head at type)

Or when old people complain how low their OAS+GIS is when they're sitting on $2-3M house + $3-4k/month from basement rent

Naturally, people will protect their interests and by complaining, it's one way to garner sympathy from others to be relatable.
i.e. "Oh man, I got luxury taxed up the ass for buying an entry level Macan with $100K in options and dealer mark ups and they won't even let me buy a base Carrera yet. By the way, I just made $1.5M from GM stocks and dividends, CRA is gonna rape and pillage me, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" - Badhobz (while shopping at Costco meanwhile Revscene feels sorry for him.)

OAS+GIS should be based on net worth, force the seniors to sell and downsize if you can't afford to upkeep it with liquid investments.
Seniors raking in an additional $2K from OAS and GIS, on top of their 3-5K/month cash east van basement rentals is nuts. We haven't even gotten to their GIC/Equity and 2nd and 3rd condos portfolios yet.
Luxury tax is also stupid, paying additional taxes on a $55K+ car when you already paid 30-50% tax to obtain that income.

I thought boomers don't get much oas/ gis unless you've been here for 40+ years? And it gets reduced quite a bit as it's house hold couple income. Also since all their $ is in gics generating extra income it will further get reduced. As returns are fully taxable since they pull out all rsp by 65 to try to gis.

Maybe if they were complaining about how bad other people had it I’d not want to vomit in their face when I hear it. | Porsche people are insufferable. My buddy was complaining to me about how broke he is after buying his new daily, TM3, and now the track car is broken that he just dumped 20K into this year (wow I wonder who's fault that is for buying more mods crazy) and therefore this car sucks (and blah blah blah), and his new E88s don't hold air with Contis so he's gotta buy new tires for his GT3.
WOW WOE IS ME.
I was sitting with him and his gf (who is an educator so not loaded either) and I was literally like "wow your life really sucks, imagine having a track car, daily, and cars & coffee car" and told him to go fuck himself and he's ONL9 LMAO.
