What the heck are you even talking about right now?

You don't think you could hit your macros with lentils? High protein, high fiber, calories for days. Throw in something like coconut oil and you're gold. I only discovered lentils in the last few years since, yeah they don't sound appetizing and are considered "poor people" food. Turns out they are great for you, delicious, cheap, and full of protein. I'm just mad it took me so long to find out about them.

Look - you love meat. It's easy. We get it. But lets not pretend you couldn't get the equivalent nutrition from other sources.

Classic Autowa in force here.
Hey CBC, maybe put someone on the other side of the argument on the program?

It's crazy (sad) how much we are all starting to have to rely on the EU to save us from the BS.

I'm just here to say what a fantastic channel/magazine name.

Sorry, should have been more clear. I meant at the federal level. I get that they are somewhat limited in their abilities, but again, everything they have done thus far has _only _made it worse.

A reflection of the state of the world then?

Raising rates will lower prices to some extent. So it should help somewhat. The issue is that's it's a very very blunt instrument. It just happens to be one of the only tools the BoC has to use. Ideally the feds would have stepped in at some poi t in the last 15 years to stop this madness...

I mean yeah. Once other "financial assets" become more attractive (bonds at 5.5%?) maybe less parasitical activity will happen in the housing market. The whole thing started going off the rails when rates dropped to essentially nothing.

If you think current home owners have it bad, imagine anyone trying to get in the market now. Not only are mortgages 3X the price, but the houses are 2X the price they were before. The entire thing is completely unsustainable, and yet the Feds have done fuck all. Well no, actually they have made it worse every single step of the way (see the first time home buyers savings account for the latest idiotic idea).

It's at the point where it's clear no single measure will solve this issue. What is absolutely infuriating is that NOTHING is being done. Actually scratch that, they are actively making things worse with crap like the "First Home Savings Account".
