I dont think this is enforceable under the current rules.

My landlord is an anonymous person living in China. For all I know they could be some large corporation. I only have a point of contact as a local Chinese owned real-estate company. They gave me the contact info to somone out in BC who they said was the owner.

I had to call with the person in BC when i moved in. that person who is on the lease as the owner, mentioned they where not the owner but the daughter of somone living in China who was the actual owner.

After a Google search they person I had spoken with turns out to be a "wealth and property manager" who apprently handles properties for investors. I suspect they are "the daughter" of a lot of clients looking to own property here.

So with foreign investors owning land via proxies who are themselves working through proxies. How do we even know who owns what anymore?

We need the standard leases to be mandatory and somthing that cannot be modified without exemption provided by a stronger landlord Tennant board.

I wonder if we could then make it so all leases needed to be registered with the board. Eatch requiring a lease recording fee wich could be used to fund the LTB. This whould also give them some power. If a landlord has a bad history, or is not providing proof of ownership they could just deny leasing agreements making landlords unable to rent out properties.

I saw a video on this recently. I think it was Wendover.

Though card counting is still possible many casinos have made it very difficult. Most methods require the counter knowing what is left in the deck.

Two methods are just using 3-5 decks and reshuffling the deck after eatch hand. This apprently stops all but the most insanely talented card counters. Some go further using a machine to shuffle the deck in a way players can't see.

Though it also mentions some players think this cheating for the house so it might not be done at every casino

Sorry if I missed this in the article. But what is the reason we can't just expand the number of residents? It seems like the issue isn't foreign intrest taking the slot, but that there isn't enough slots to meet demand. Wich seems like a thing we should be able to fix.

Regardless of what side your on as a Canadian I'd warn you that you need ranked voting for this kind of thing to work. We don't have that here.

We have one prominently right party and 2 left parties. This heavily skews the votes towards the right as left votes are being split between 2 parties. Often as a left voter you have to vote for the more popular party even if you don't like them in order to keep the right leaning party from winning.

Ranked voting would fix this issue but neither of the 2 popular parties on eatch side, who can fix this want to fix it. Both the popular left and right parties work to supress all other parties.

If your not getting ranked voting that 3rd party will only exist to split the vote for whatever side its on.

Probably like 40-50 my rommate has a weird fascination with them. At some point they brought home a box if like 40 of the cheap ones. I assume it was part if some art thing they planed then never bothered with. Now they are all over the apartment.

Same. Quit FB a few years ago. Never bothered with Instagram, or Twitter or really anything with my real identity.

However I used FB for nearly 15 years. I got a new job so I wanted to clean as much public facing data as I could, including all the "intrest" FB had decided I had. I'm not sure if its the same now but Facebook used to just keep a list of stuff you where "interested" in based on your browsing history (even outside of FB). Often it was inaccurate. I think ads or somthing whould hijack the algorithm to add whatever they wanted, youd have to clear it out every once and awhile.

After doing this my feed started showing me hate groups, alt right nonsense and images of child abuse material. I realized this meant, that in cases where Facebook had no listed intrest for somebody, this is the ads that it whould use, this was the core of what Facebook was. I nuked the account and never looked back. Honestly, great decision and I've never once regretted it.
