    Problem is mostly housing. When people earn 2000$/month and rent is 2000$/month, there’s a problem. In great Montreal, pre-covid, you had 1bd appartment for 500$ sometimes less, now it’s 1200+$

    I don’t know what will happen with this, and the hundreds of thousands new people coming each and every years need housing too, and schools, and healthcare. Of course millionnaires politicians don’t give a shit.

      Hold on, you can get an apartment in a major city for under $2000? Is the minimum wage in Quebec $10/hr? I don’t live particularly close to any city and you’d be hard pressed to find anything more than a studio for $1500, you’re looking at close to $2000 for something decent. I wonder how many months it would take to break even after moving costs from BC…

      What will happen is that eventually people will die.

      What needs to happen is that rich people need to start dying. Does that sound like an incitement to violence? Sure does! Why? Because right now the rich don’t feel scared enough to make do with less.

      We’ve heard of MAGA, but I think we need MRAA: make the rich afraid again.

        You’d totally get a Reddit ban for this lmao, thankfully this is Lemmy.

        Rich people can be soulless because they have nothing to fear.
