Conservatives Members Of Parliament Crossing The Floor To Become Liberals: Those MPs Were BOUGHT
I don't think we can end Floor Crossings because it's just too hard, it's almost a Constitutional change
But look at WHY people elected to represent one party switch parties
2/
It's because they're BRIBED to do it
Not bribed with money, bribed with Perks, bribed with quiet promises of future higher paying positions in Parliament, bribed with assurance of Party Support in the next election, bribed with Polling numbers that favor the Liberals
3/
And the reason these very small time bribes work is twofold
1) Loyalty to a Party is dying in Canadian politics 2) Some Back Bench MPs are pretty small, shitty people, total opportunitists
The Trickery Never Ends In Real Estate Sales: Let's List The House The House For $250K Less Than We Will Take
For the last 20 years Residential Real Estate has used some of the worst Sales Tactics
Not every Realtor does this but too many do it endlessly
Fake list prices

For a hundred years Real Estate was sold by offering a house at slightly above the price you wanted & some back & forth negotiations happened & the Buyer & Seller arrived at an acceptable sale price
When GTA house prices went nuts in the early 2000's this concept died
3/
Instead houses were priced to attract an Auction
Multiple BIDS was the only way to sell a home
Real Estate Agents boasted about 10 bids, 20 bids 40 bids
At higher prices
In 2021 things were so crazy there was a BULLY offer
Before all offers were in a HUGE offer appeared

246 New Construction Homes Sold In The GTA In January: Lowest Since 1981: WTF Is Going On Here?
Lowest in 45 Years? Even Though the Population is more than DOUBLE
This a truly disturbing number
Why is it happening? How did we get here? When will it return to normal?
2/
Let's start with a very important stat: 80% of GTA New Home Sales for the last 8 years are HI-RISE
Therefore if Hi-Rise Development stops New Home Construction stops
Once this Hi-Rise concept is understood the rest of the reasons for the New Home Catastrophe fall in place
3/
The Greenbelt creates an artificial moat for Development around the GTA that limits construction of Single Family, Semi's & Towns by dramatically increasing land cost for New Construction of those types of Housing by increasing land SCARCITY artificially
