“But we also think that the responsibility for the safety of [low-income people] — and let’s face it, it’s low-income people who have this problem — that’s a responsibility for society at large, for everyone, not just for the people who happen to own the buildings where these people make their homes.”
Right, Canada’s never nationalized anything private, aside from rail networks, hydroelectricity, and mining operations. All cheap and cheerful. And when has a government ever managed housing?
Doing anything about rent would surely require the blood of millions.
So you think buying a railway network is the same as buying single family houses from MILLIONS of Canadians, some of whom, like me, live in them or actually built them ourselves? Ok then, good luck with that brilliant plan. Im sure there will be no pushback on that idea.
I think you can figure out the difference between your housing situation and rental.
… oh, I just skimmed your comment history. Fuck off.
