    Homie you are missing the point, no one is saying people didn’t have problems, what they are saying is in Relative AND absolute terms to now, things are both more expensive and people earn less.

    We can look at statistics to prove this. Anecdotal evidence exists, but it doesn’t prove anything.

    You need to do some math here because I think you’re trying to put out a “gotcha” moment but the math stills sucks. Last I checked minimum wage is what, $7.50 or something in the US? So even at. $3.10 an hour minimum wage, that $25,000 house would have been a fucking steal, even at 13% interest rate, hell make it 20% if you want. Cars were cheaper then too.













  • From his Wikipedia:

    "Murphy won a Progressive Conservative nomination in 1975. However, he abandoned it due to lack of funds. Instead, Murphy went to work as special assistant to PC leader and Premier Frank Moores.[4]

    He then switched parties in the 1980s and served two years as chief researcher for the provincial Liberal caucus before running for provincial office twice, as a Liberal."

    Sucks to suck.

    “Murphy argued that climate change is “a sub-branch of climate politics”. He criticized former American Vice President Al Gore’s opposition to the Alberta oil sands and in a 2013 column, called the industry “a dazzling and profitable engineering endeavor of which all Canadians should be proud”.”

    Rex can absolutely get fucked, what a sellout shitbag.
