    Does “Made in Canada” influence your retail/e-com purchases?

    Short and simple: no. One reason is that I don't perceive myself wealthy enough to shell out extra money for something just out of nationalistic sentiment. I may choose to spend a tiny bit extra if I feel that I know the company/brand owner well enough and align with them (regardless of...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    80 percent appreciation over 5 years is 12.5% appreciation on average per year. A decline at the same rate compounded over 3 years would only result in the price going down 33 percent. 50 percent over 3 years is just a little extreme.

    533 College St (@ Euclid, Akelius, 4s, renovation, WZMH)

    Yikes. Such a nice building yet Akelius is a blight.

    Toronto Rental Cost (& AirBnB) Issues

    Compared to what the median millennial in Toronto makes, $2125 for one bedroom is still obscenely high.

    Little Italy/College Street

    Just along the lines of what you wrote for Diplomatico. Stale pastry, overpriced coffee, slow inattentive service etc.

    Little Italy/College Street

    OK I don't know if this comment is 'too soon' but this place was horrible. As is Diplomatico.

    Toronto Rental Cost (& AirBnB) Issues

    I thought about doing that but IDK, people have been used to the landlords holding all the cards for so long, in my head I worry that a renegotiated lower rent would create some resentment (landlord is already less than responsive with maintenance etc). I might just find something else and...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Yeah Tory throws around stuff like "radical" "far left" etc way too often. You can tell ideologically he hasn't progressed one bit.

    The coming demise of Roots?

    I feel like Roots is just really expensive but its branding fails to communicate why the price point is so high. I wonder how well it's doing with gen z or immigrants

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    A lot of investors and airbnb operators have made such a killing for the past 5 years that I am afraid some of them may be able to weather the storm/tolerate negative cash flow and it may take a long while for these to collapse. So far a lot of these former-airbnb units are getting put on the...

    Odds of Ryerson and George Brown merging?

    That sounds like an extremely unnecessarily/painful amalgamation. The whole concept of integration/efficiencies should be thought about beyond Econ101 ideas.

    Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (nCoV-2019)

    This is more like a statement to appease a kind of base than anything else. It's not like Quebec is swamped with immigrants anyway. A lot of immigrants that do immigrate to Quebec within those reduced levels don't settle there long term either...

    Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (nCoV-2019)

    Yeah people from developing countries move the Canada, USA, Germany etc for lifestyle and/or due to frustration with their home countries (as WislaHD said above). Nobody's kidnapping the scientists and doctors. If they feel 'scammed' they can return to their home countries, which they do. At...

    Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (nCoV-2019)

    Touching shopping carts that have been touched by thousands of people that same week is a particularly dumb take on how to socially isolate.

    Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (nCoV-2019)

    1) Nobody advocated for a "complete shut down" of the US border anyway. Not sure what you're arguing against. 2) There's no "soft-closure" announced. This afternoon's announcement left it completely open. That's the issue.

    Poll by poll results for 2019 election

    Nah, a lot of "gentrifiers" in Davenport and Parkdale lean NDP whereas "ethnic" groups such as the Portuguese or Chinese have a higher propensity to lean Liberal/Conservative.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    I think would have won if he had never become the premier in the first place, but it's not likely now.

    Aren't those areas guaranteed to vote con no matter what?

    Why don't teens have jobs?

    So many of them do have jobs. Your research/survey lacks scientific validity.
