New Canadian Politics Thread

It does feel like we've peaked on Trudeau hatred. Feels like we've been on a downtrend on that metric in all of 2024. But that doesn't mean he has much of a chance at winning. He's a very good looking man but he's pretty much universally disliked at this point. Beyond zeke. And me.

He’s not old in terms of his age.

But in terms of the time he’s spent on center stage as PM, he’s hideously ancient.

He’s just shy of the ten year mark, and in pretty much every case in recent history, that’s the hard limit for when the Canadian electorate is thoroughly sick of a Prime Minister’s shit.

i tend to agree. Canadians pretty much toss everyone after this long.

but, he's also different than all the other examples.

and also, canadians are lame, and let the usa's behavior affect them strongly.
 
I do agree that the peak Trudeau hate has passed and people realize what dumbasses all these party leaders are. Singh is horrible as well. Dig up Jack Layton.
 
Low volume and nothing interesting moving on the lakefront side of things. If you want a decent property it's $$$

Location is king. I've shot a bunch of them over the last ~12 months. If it's a nice place with good highway/road access and isn't a 3 hour drive from Toronto, it sells at ask or close and pretty quickly. If it's a long ass drive off of the highway, on a small lake with meh or worse water connections for boating, or just not that nice of a house it sits in inventory for ages. It's definitely not like 2021-22. I would shoot stuff out in the middle of nowhere Kawarthas, the agent would put it up for 1.8 and it was gone in 30 days.

Yeah I find what differentiates now from peak 2022 is that in 2022 every piece of shit sold and for stupid prices. But now, for anything slightly desirable on the lake, it isn't going for much less than it did at peak + there is just waaaay less volume moving overall. As you said, pricing has completely decoupled from the less desirable junk. I went to look at a few nice spots in the past 6 months or so naively thinking I could get a deal and nah. 2022 prices (or close) for the top products.

Supply of nice lakeside properties in good locations is always gonna be finite so it makes sense from a supply-demand standpoint. But still demoralizing.

Only thing that makes sense right now imo is to look at it as longer project, and just buy the best location with the oldest house you can find with the well in good condition. Then go 3 season "manufactured" home when you get sick of the smell in a few years. Half of the shit I'm seeing that's nice in the sub 1.0 range is already that. Nice lake view on a decent lake with a 200K, straight out of the catalogue 3bd, 2 bath manufactured home on it.

Or, if you project having the type of surplus you need, just do a new build instead of a manufactured.
 
My parents bought in 2020, we did a lot of renos to it. My mom passed this year and my dad isn't sure what he is doing with it, but still should do fairly well. Not waterfront, but lakes across the road with unobstructed view and a public beach/boat launch 100m down the road.
