From a "conservative" side of things, I do think one of the shittiest things about living in Canada is that any time there's a way for people of modest income to try and make $$$... it's got maybe a 2-5 year lifespan before the government comes along and nips it in the bud with a tax or rule change.

System is riggggged.... rich have always gotten richer.

That's why people get so greedy at the mom and pop level... create a climbing over each other mentality, your neighbour is also your enemy/competitor.

I mean, what choice do you have in Canada besides stock investments and real estate? Gotta take a chance on either... and real estate at least has the word "real" in it unlike stocks just a bunch of numbers on computers. Better job? Work harder? Fallacies. Start a business? Need a lot of upfront capital and investment and leasing and overhead PLUS an idea... and at least here it's the same real estate market cost-wise for brick & mortar.

So people buy houses or condos and hope for the best. Can't really blame em.
