    buckle yer safety belts folks, ol donnie and co’s plan is to crater the world real estate market and buy it on fire sale

    the idiots here will likely still be blaming Trudeau, but at least Carney appears to have the chops to soften it for Canadians

        …ok, I’ll bite, what does that mean?

        Does he also rape children and eat babies? I mean, I figure if we can get a leader who doesn’t do that, we’re light years ahead of our southern neighbour

        It’s 2026, admittedly, the bar is pretty low

          Carney is a shareholder in Brookfield.

          Key controversies involving Brookfield include:

          Indigenous Rights and Environmental Allegations: Brookfield, through subsidiaries, has been accused by Global Witness of contributing to deforestation and attempting to evict Indigenous communities in Brazil. In Canada, a Brookfield subsidiary was involved in a lawsuit with the Mississauga First Nation regarding hydro dam projects.

          Tax Avoidance Concerns: Research from Canadians for Tax Fairness and CICTAR identified that Brookfield has used tax havens, such as the Cayman Islands, and maintained a significant tax gap, sparking accusations of dodging over $5 billion in Canadian taxes.

          Mark Carney and Political Conflicts: As Carney became involved with the Liberal Party of Canada, critics focused on his continuing financial interest in Brookfield. This included concerns over his involvement with a company that advocates for carbon reduction while managing carbon-heavy assets, such as oil pipelines, potentially conflicting with government climate policies.

          Brookfield has a massive REIT.

              If you don’t even understand or care how you are getting fucked, keep voting for corrupt politicians.

              Carney threw out the digital sales tax to help Brookfield investments, and the Carbon levy. Cutting revenue while record spending in military (also Brookfield) is hardly “navigating the economic collapse”, it’s bankrupting Canada.

              I realize grade 10 is a bitch, but learn how to use a period and spell fuck.

    This happened before, in the late 80s, people ended up buying two shitty tiny condos and making them into one larger shitty condo.

    The average cost per square foot of a new condo was $1,189 in the first quarter compared with an average resale price of $859, a 38 per cent difference.

    Seems like a weird way to frame that number. Sure, 1189/859 is 1.38, but that’s the percentage resale prices would need to rise to match new unit build costs. The way it’s framed sounds like they mean 859/1189 (“prices of resales are lower than the costs of new builds by x%”), which is .72, a 28% difference.

    Math nerd alert.

    Seriously, though, I would expect better from a financial news publication. AI slop, I’m guessing. (Edit: not the whole article, mind, I just mean that number framing and/or calculation looks, to me, like a typical AI error. The rest of the article is well written, imho.)
