    Mark Carney’s Liberals tried to BUY Conservative MPs to steal a majority.

    As you said yourself, Canada-U.S. tensions were at an all-time high during the last election. Anyone with half a brain would capitalize on that. Ford saw his highest approval ratings by doing so. Instead, Poilievre blew a 27-point lead because bashing Trudeau was more important than addressing...

    Mark Carney’s Liberals tried to BUY Conservative MPs to steal a majority.

    It's a lose-lose situation. He could go on the attack, get us hit with a ton more tariffs, and then what? Are the Cons going to be happy? That approach clearly isn't working for Doug Ford.

    Is Realtor.ca a DECEPTIVE website?

    Oh, I agree. They're obviously just passing along the blame. Message CREA and they'll likely refer you to RECO.

    Is Realtor.ca a DECEPTIVE website?

    They're non-arms length, but they still act independent of each other. You'd likely receive the same response if you sent that message to Zolo. As a rough example, imagine if ICANN had a marketplace and it was fed listings by CIRA. Yes, ICANN oversees CIRA, but it doesn’t oversee CIRA’s domain...

    Is Realtor.ca a DECEPTIVE website?

    Realtor.ca doesn’t manage the listing data themselves. They use an IDX feed provided by local boards like TREB and WRAR. The same feed is also used by Zolo, Zillow, etc. I agree that there’s a fine line between helping a buyer envision a property and misidentifying it.

    How much would you tip?

    This is still happening. I went earlier this year and was charged a 10% 'Destination Fee' at a restaurant. The waiter claimed it was mandatory and they couldn't remove it. Hopefully some of that goes to them, because no one at our table left a tip.

    TBR Drop - Dec 17, 2025

    The best part is that when you're salty about losing the auction, you can just go report it on GSC. Assured mutual destruction.

    The domain is normally held by the marketplace.

    It was the start of a $280,000 nightmare

    I recently read that the scammers themselves are often victims of human trafficking. They’re told they’ll get a high-paying tech job in Myanmar, but when they come their passports are confiscated and they’re forced to work and live in cramped offices behind barbed-wire fences. How someone sleeps...
