If you're not barefoot you're overdressed!

And remember that he is afraid of open flames—so when he doesn’t get too close, remember that you give off a lot of heat, girl, remember that under all those clothes you are a fire.

About Trudeau's "affordable" housing, where are people getting the $2000 rent figure? I can't find it in any articles.

The CMHC’s definition of “affordable” housing is typically far more expensive than working-class renters can afford. According to CMHC, the median household income in Brampton is just over $87,000, based on 2016 census data — 30% of that median figure amounts to over $2,000 per month.

From here:

Justin Trudeau Announced 302 ‘Affordable’ Rental Units Will Be Built in Brampton. The Developer is Only Building 72.

What the fuck is the point of saying it is affordable if it will only be affordable to half of the population or less?? Median is a real shit way to determine affordability especially with income inequality being so grossly out of whack.

I’ll say it again but if you can’t afford it on minimum wage, it is not affordable.

And EHS is super, super fucked right now. Like I cannot tell you how fucked the ambulance service is in this province. I’m talking the other night there were 2-3 hour waits for calls marked as code 3 (that’s highest level emergency). If you’re not a code 3, they might have one for you next week sometime.

So, if you’re in BC and in need of medical care, I implore you: If you can get yourself to the hospital rather than calling EHS, DO IT. If you can wait another day and go to the clinic in the morning instead, DO IT. Please do not call for an ambulance or go to the emergency room right now unless you really and truly need it.
