Truly disturbing. And I wouldn’t put too much stock in the future of healthcare or public safety the way things are heading. Seems like a daily shooting or stabbing reported daily in the Toronto papers.
The wait time in QC is now more than 1,000 days to be assigned a GP when you register. There’s always the emergency room, but it’s not all that much quicker.

So funny! This is exactly like that guy on Silicon Valley. Props man.

“Very high” quality tech talent available for $60K USD per year. If that isn’t a sad pronouncement of the Canadian jobs market, I don’t know what it. The answer to that is always , “Yabutt we have healthcare and low crime rates!” As though that can make up for shit salaries, high taxes and insane housing costs.

The Ontario government was boasting – yes, boasting – that if Amazon HQ were put in Toronto, Amazon would save $1.5 billion per year in salary and benefits costs. A big chunk of that was healthcare costs. But the biggest chunk was salaries – partly due to the weak loonie, and partly because tech salaries in Toronto are absolute shit in comparison to US cities. We’re back to the 1990s again, when politicians bragged about our devalued currency and cheap wages as if they were selling points.

Zhang, I think I left my cigarettes on your bunk last night. Do you think you could drop them off at my cell tonight before lights out? Thanks.

It’s more attractive, sure, but there’s absolutely no jobs that can sustain these prices. I love to share this little graphic… but all throughout my professional career (here in Vancouver), the mantra has always been “If you want to make more money, go east”.

It’s not just for the tech sector either, wages suck in EVERY sector in Vancouver. So okay, Vancouver is good enough that companies can pay whatever the fuck they want and people will still live here. So where’s all this money coming from?

Well, why not use the same line of thought into debt. People are more willing to go into massive, and dangerous amounts of debt just to live here, because it sure hell isn’t
a) foreign investors (anymore, well officially anyways)
b) wages and high paid professionals pushing housing prices up.

I rest my case.

And multiplying by temperature and subtracting rain, it’s close to dead even!

VNM. I think you loser. you investor or you recycle known information. you small chicken wing in game. I make dolla you make penny. go home and drink beer. put on leaf jersey and watch with ugly girlfriend.

You mean the nearly extinct animals that survive by scavenging for garbage?
And alas, like you, they have no self-awareness.
