Thank you everyone, this was just a Devil's advocate. The Kraken released a tentacle, it will now retract. With everything going on, it's good to drop a stone in the pond every now and then. Love you all! 🤍


I do however, believe that his ethics are flexible, as long as it contributes to his main goal: Going to Mars. 

Do not see him as the Satan, nor God. He's a werewolf, shapeshifter. He'll turn into whatever person he needs to be in order to reach his goal.

I dunno. It's like Carney's "we're gonna build 500k houses a year without a plan trust me bro just elect me bro" strategy is not effective.

But on the plus side, it looks like existing homeowners won't have to worry about the price of houses going down. /s

The federal government is under pressure to relax the foreign homebuyer ban, as builders deal with one of the worst real estate slowdowns in decades.

...

At the time, the federal government said it would help stabilize housing and ensure Canadians had more access to purchasing homes. The policy prevents foreigners from buying existing and preconstruction homes.

But as borrowing costs increased in 2022 and 2023, the real estate market slumped, and demand dried up for preconstruction homes. Sales have dropped significantly in the regions of Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa. And over the past few years, developers have postponed and canceled projects because they are unable to sell the minimum amount needed to obtain construction financing from lenders.

Okay, at least one of the other recommendations is good:

The alliance is also recommending that the federal government expand and speed up the approval process of its $55-billion apartment construction loan program. It provides cheap loans to developers to build rental-only housing as long as specific affordability requirements are met.

...

The letter also urges Ottawa to provide the GST waiver on new rental-only buildings for projects currently under construction. The tax break, which was announced in September, 2023, does not apply to projects that started prior to that date.

  • Trump’s threats over Russian oil could set back decades of India-U.S. diplomatic progress
    
    • Indian opposition and public urge Modi to resist what they see as Trump’s bullying

    -Analysts say ties are at their lowest since U.S. sanctions after India’s 1998 nuclear tests

    -India expected to step up interactions with Russia and China, say analysts, with some efforts already underway

NEW DELHI/WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's tirade against India over trade and Russian oil purchases threatens to undo two decades of diplomatic progress, analysts and officials say, and could derail other areas of cooperation as domestic political pressures drive both sides to harden their stances.

India's opposition parties and the general public have urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stand up to what they call bullying by Trump, who on Wednesday signed an executive order subjecting Indian imports to an additional 25% in duties on top of an existing 25% tariff, due to its big purchases of Russian oil.

While India has emerged in recent years as a key partner for Washington in its strategic rivalry with China, its large U.S. trade surplus and close relations with Russia - which Trump is seeking to pressure into agreeing to a peace agreement with Ukraine - have made it a prime target in the Republican president's global tariff offensive.

Trump's taunt that India could buy oil from arch enemy Pakistan has also not gone down well in New Delhi, said two Indian government sources. India has also rejected repeated claims by Trump that he used trade as a lever to end a recent military conflict between India and Pakistan.

Abe Simpson said “I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!” but today’s “it” is vapid, misinformational, and malicious.

Hey folks,

I am looking for a good Cola syrup without sweeteners for my soda maker. All Cola syrups in the supermarket I tried contain Acesulfam K or Sucralose. Sometimes they have both: Sugar and sweeteners, but not sugar alone.

I'm not very happy with the taste of sweeteners. Do you know some good european stuff for me?

Thanks!

Edit: Of course I meant artificial sweeteners.
