Speak for yourself. The kids can't afford shit these days. They don't save money/ don't make shit

You should...all the kids are doing it nowadays

Are they? Or are people spending that:

A) Have the money
B) Using equity from the sale of another property which has increased

I wonder what the average Mortgage amount is in Toronto

Hahahaa
I should've said #PrivelegedKids

From going into the open houses and seeing who's looking to buy I say young people are stretching themselves with $800k+ mortgages which is no laughing matter

On a side note - some elementary schools are/may be shutting down due to the lack of children in some neighbourhoods.

Because of the high priced homes - young families cannot afford to move in to existing areas. Which means not enough kids to keep a school open.

That would kind of go against the "all the kids are doing it" notion... no?

Possibly or many couples choose to have a kid (emphasis on singular) much later in life.

I knew you would take that in its literal context
LOL

Possibly
However the staff at St Vincent's seem to think otherwise

I originally thought it was the rise in private and Montessori schools in the area, but according to the schools community - enrolment levels are down across the board.

with the cost of:

• hours lost due to commuting

This is probably the biggest downside. In my case the pros outweigh the cons. But it's different for everyone, plus I was in Mississauga so I was paying near Toronto Real Estate prices AND commuting costs.

****.

"Delivery charges cost more than the usage charges".

$3000 a month just for hydro?!!?

Hi Premier Wynne,

I kicked off my campaign to become Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada a couple of weeks ago, and have been traveling the country meeting with Canadians. I have to bring on a lot of new members if I am going to win this thing and defeat your buddy Justin Trudeau in 2019.

I recently did some events in Ottawa, and I’m pleased to say that the meeting hall was packed -- young people came out by the hundreds. It seems they are getting a little antsy about the fact that Ontario’s economy is grinding to a halt. (These pesky kids, the next thing you know, they’re all going to want jobs!) I know you are not spending any time worrying about them. You’re too busy dreaming up new taxes in Ontario, buying carbon credits from California and wasting our money on foreign “green tech” deals, that go nowhere.

At my last meeting, the craziest thing happened. I was about to start my Q&A when a farmer raised his and hand to give me a folded piece of paper.

I was blown away; it was his hydro bill for $71,618.58!

These hydro bills you send out are so complicated nobody can figure out what’s going on. But I guess that’s your strategy -- you do a great job of hiding your mistakes with language. You signed 20 and 30 year green contracts for wind and solar farms and agreed to purchase electricity at 80 cents per kilowatt hour when everybody else pays 2.3 cents per kilowatt hour. I love the way you call it a “Global Adjustment Fee” as if it’s out of your control.

On this poor farmer’s bill, this fee was buried with all the other taxes, delivery charges, regulatory charges, debt retirement and HST charges. You know I’m a numbers guy, so I went to work on this right away. Basically, he used $5,177.31 worth of electricity. The other $66,441.27 amounted from all your charges and taxes with fancy names that you make him pay to cover up for your uneconomic wind and solar contracts. Add this to the new carbon tax scheme that you and Justin Trudeau have forced on voters and you are killing his business. This is his livelihood at stake, have you no shame?

But wait, there is more.

He found out that you recently sold 22.6 billion kilowatt hours of electricity to farmers and their neighbours in New York and Michigan. People in those states are not stupid, they are not willing to pay for your mistakes. They buy electricity at the market rate of 2.3 cents while you make our Ontario farmers and residents pay 40 times more.

Don’t you see anything wrong with that?

Anyway, not to be ungrateful for your leadership and business acumen, but here is what I’m going to do for you. You know how NHL winners take the Stanley Cup around the country and let people take pictures with it?

I’m going to make this Ontario farmer’s hydro bill your Stanley Cup. It is the symbol of your great leadership.

Over the next few months, I will be meeting with thousands of Ontario taxpayers in small and big towns alike. I’ll bring this bill with me. I will explain every line item to them. Time to clear up the hydro bill confusion, don’t you agree? From what the voters are telling me, Ontarians want the cold, hard, truth. I’m going to give it to them.

Oh, one last thing: as a seasoned politician, I’m sure you know how expensive these road trips are. Given all the taxes I have paid to you over the years it would be wonderful if you could return the favor and contribute to my campaign. It’s easy -- just go to https://olearyforcanada.ca and fill in the form. You can contribute up to $1,550.00 and the good news is that you get a tax deduction. No need to thank me! And come to think of it, please pass the link on to those Ministers in your cabinet who have also been sending me letters. I’m sure they want to help with my campaign too.

As for the farmer and everyone else in the room who saw his hydro bill? They won’t be voting for you or Justin Trudeau.

They have joined my team, because together, they know we can do better.

Speak soon.

Sincerely,

Kevin O’Leary

Candidate for Leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada, Ontario taxpayer, and your boss until the next election.

I'm sure by now, you've all heard the HUGE increase to minimum wage effective within the next 18 months






My FB friends know how I feel about...

But what are your Thoughts?

Anyone following the James Comey testimony surrounding Trump & the alleged obstruction of justice (dropping the investigation on Michael Flynn)?

He published the opening statements memo Tuesday or Wednesday before he testified yesterday which was a good read.

Lots of interesting points.


--> Also Tevor Noah and Steven Colbert have been killing it lately. Trump offers all the material they will ever need.
