"Asking rents in Canada fell two per cent year-over-year in January to an average of $2,057, marking the 16th consecutive month of annual rent decreases.'
meanwhile anyone on #Disability in #Ontario, #ODSP, knows you get a maximum of $522 for rent (single person), and it took me 3 years to get on ODSP. Don't nobody need to ever ask again why homeless populations are EXPLODING
radio says $1800 on average for a 1 bed right now in Kingston per rentals ca or whatever. #ODSP gives a max $522 for housing for a single person. If the Liberals had put in their #UBI it would've been $2000, leaving you with $200 to live off of. But #DougFord has only increased ODSP by $50 in 9 years.
Most #Disabled people are like me, we WANT to work, but physically can't. We are almost on death's door as it is, and it's ODSP or die in a gutter.

#Canada to expedite nation-building projects to counter #Trump admin border and tariff threats

Dear Mark Carney - in the light of Trump's new tariff letter threatening 35% on basically everything, tell him to fuck off and bring back the digital service tax
Be like Brazil, stand up to the orange asshole - appeasement doesn't work, cut off the potash and watch US farmers freak out

Canada's already into our 2nd worst wildfire season in recorded history & Albertans will AGAIN breathe historically WILD smoke hours in the 100s, so can we REALLY be talking about more #Pipelines in 2025?

US company to build methane gas turbine plant fueled by US-based fracked gas to power provincial power utility for 25 years. All in order to operate 7% of the time in case of dips (yeah right). This will be in the middle of the only animal migratory route connecting Nova Scotia to mainland North America and on the Atlantic fly way — a major north-south flyway for migratory birds in North America.
"98% of Canadian households tracked receiving social assistance live below poverty line: report
73 per cent of households tracked were living in “deep poverty,”
“It’s not just that people are poor, it’s that they are deeply poor,”
“I don’t think people really understand the depth of poverty that people who are on social assistance have to live with,”"
keeping in mind, it took me 3 years to get on #Disability #ODSP and it only pays $522 for housing max
More Canadians avoiding U.S. goods, travel amid #Trump trade war: poll

— while the number of people avoiding U.S.-made goods has risen five points to 72 per cent.”
Wowza… Canadians really do not tend to agree on much. Those numbers are high!

A best-selling Vancouver author has launched a class-action lawsuit against Nvidia, claiming the multi-trillion dollar tech company illegally used his and other Canadian writers' works to train artificial intelligence large language models (LLM). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-author-leads-class-actions-against-ai-giants-1.7595962
J.B. MacKinnon is named as the representative plaintiff in the claim, which says his books, The 100-Mile Diet and The Once and Future World, were part of a 196,640-book dataset that Nvidia used without paying a licensing fee or securing consent to acquire or use the works. #cdnpoli #copyright #AI
