[@broomfieldsdual-sport]

True

[@eric-br6kg]

The one response that I thought was relevant was housing being a human right. He should elaborate on that. The UN considers housing to be a human right. Were the government's mismanagement to cause housing to become unaffordable, it would force the younger generation to delay starting a family, and work longer, and harder, for less of a limited supply of housing. Further, the average age for having a first child has increased. The Canadian government's trajectory will force the younger generation to delay having families until they are too old to safely have children in the first place. Summary : 1) Liberals have increased taxation without representation through inflation 2) Liberals have limited the supply of housing for the younger generation which may be a human rights violation 3) Liberals have stunted Canada's future potential by financially constraining the younger generation and forcing women to delay having children well beyond their 30's, which, from a health perspective, is far more risky.

[@ChrisvP]

Here's The thing that Pierre is trying to get to the bottom of: it's not that the government gave you your money back... It's that they're stealing money from you by printing it!! The liberals have been printing (quantitative easing) five to eight billion dollars a week for the last 12 to 18 months. This has caused a major asset bubble. Much of the new money has gone missing and unaccounted for. We have to wake up and realize that Canada has a debt to GDP ratio that's one of the biggest in the G7. It's now mathematically impossible to pay it back with tax dollars from Canadians. There are simply not enough time or people in Canada to work hard enough to generate enough value to pay back the debt. That's why the liberals are printing money. They're hoping to inflate away the debt. But this is nothing more than slavery for us and our children and our children's children.

And then you committed that crime of yours: you were so ungrateful.’ Moses replied, ‘I was misguided when I did it. and I fled from you in fear; later my Lord gave me wisdom and made me one of His messengers.

When CERB first came out (when it was really easy to apply), a lot of the homeless in the area I live went bananas with applications. While small businesses went under and people struggled with the increasing price of living, most of the homeless I knew blew their money either on fancy gadgets (new phones, electric scooters, etc.), drugs or both, while they were staying in a shelter. Hell, even some of the social workers were telling them to take advantage of the situation...
