Hear, hear! The ongoing idiocy of so much NDP campaigning is endlessly frustrating. You can't expect to be seen as a viable contender and not campaign like one.

I voted NDP last 5 elections and yet I agree with the post. Rent control is another idiotic NDP idea that just punishes the small landlord who financed his rental properties with a self directed RRSP. Tax investment companies to the max if they take the money out of the country, but otherwise leave landlords alone.

The vast majority of landlords are property management companies with multiple properties. Not mom and pop shops. It's absurd to suggest people who choose to become landlords finance it with their RRSP. Good grief. Landlords are in it to profit, it's not charity.

Hard agree! The federal NDP needs to hold a leadership convention and pick a serious leader. Let Jagmeet ride off in the sunset to Burning Man where he can make desert shower videos for TikTok. Or go back to corporate law, the career that made him a rich man.

Also, rental housing is provincial jurisdiction so Jagmeet's alleged plan - whatever it is - has about as much of a chance as Poilievre promising to override provincial and municipal govts on housing decisions. Those two clowns need to be serenaded over a cliff by Bugs Bunny. (Google Hillbilly Hare.)

Unsubscribing, yet again, but for the last time. You make some good points, but your presentation is regularly caustic and hostile. It’s like a comedian whose material is lost within a barrage of f-bombs and gutter humour. That’s usually a sign that their material isn’t any good. Yours is, but I don’t have the patience to wade through it.

He’s just a youngster, Rex. Remember what that was like?
