    I presume the government pays for rent and electricity?

    Food here costs WAAAAY more like meat, cheese and bread. Gotta hunt for a loaf of bread under $5 and if you can find one it's probably some wonderbread shit with high fructose corn syrup.

    I get nature bread from the food bank though but I don't buy much meat it's too expensive. When I used to live near the border of Idaho people would go to Costco in the United States and buy cheese, milk, ham and all kinds of stuff for cheap.
    $100 worth of food was enough for 3 weeks compared to 1 week when you buy it in Canada

    Even kraft dinner costs more here.

    isnt trumps new trade deal supposed to address this ?

    to enable american farmers to flood canadian market with their cheap meats and milks ?

    As soon as the minimum wage went to $14/hr, all the greedy property owners practically doubled their rents overnight. They figured, hey, those people have all that extra money now, we need to take it.

    My parents just own the investment property we're renting. They'll probably sell in a few years and make twice what they bought the place for. And we are paying rent in the meantime. My parents ain't paying for shit. >_<

    I got into a bad crowd though I hang out with the LGBT Anarcho Communists in Toronto lol. But they are cool all about independence from the system and most of them own businesses and spend all their money on anarchist activism

    You know I never thought I would hate Anarchists.

    kek as much as I might be a shitty tennant, I've managed to not damage the property at all. And the neighborhood/city i live in is improving so quickly that it's actually probably already worth twice what they paid for it. Almost tempted to tell them to sell now but I'm not qualified to determine whether that's smart. We're about to get a very local light-rail station and it could either drive property values down due to noise or raise it due to their being light rail. Either way, they're probably going to come out of this arrangement a lot wealthier, and that's awesome so long as they cash out while they're still young/healthy enough to enjoy it. They're in their 60s so like even if it could quadruple in value I'd rather they sell sooner than later and enjoy the proceeds of their investment while they can, as opposed to keeping this particular property to give me stable residence or whatever.

    if you were a plumber or a carpenter you wouldnt have time to get off work to shop at the thrift store and fiddle with your phone during lunch break.

    your like donald j trump who bragg about making his millions after getting some million dollar loan from his dad.

    I started off working in a Builders yard carrying bags of cement from one side of the yard to the other for 25 British pounds a week for 40hrs work...That's like $35-$40 a week, $1 an hr. lolol.
