Trying to stay relevant much? Humanity as a whole needs to realize that religion is a mental crutch. The community aspect of it is good, but it isn’t exclusive to religion.

Why is this being pushed as news? There are already been statements direct right out of Premier Eby’s mouth that we’re not going back to shoebox sized condo markets (press conference in July I believe). Albeit that was a response to a reporter’s question in regards to scrapping foreign buyer’s tax, but at least you know that they are aware of the situation.

Without a publicly run developer, the government can only deal with private developers to make housing happen. Any push to drive down prices direct from any level of government is still political suicide given the types of people that vote. Look at the last provincial election results - the right leaning electorate is alive and well and the right leaning voters tend to be all about short term gains and their own pockets. Until that shifts, don’t expect outright statements from the province.

Do you need to pay to access Steam and play games? The answer is no - there are free games on Steam and also forum features that allow you to post media content too. From that standpoint they’re in the same boat. The difference is the platform’s intended use.

I think the real issue isn’t about Visa and MasterCard trying to gatekeep/censor this. The talk should be about we as a society haven’t matured enough to be willing to talk about our own bodies as humans and human nature with our own kids. If you look at what’s shown on mainstream TV around the world, off the top of my head, Europe seems to be a lot more mature about it than many parts elsewhere.

Nothing but hypocrisy from Visa and MasterCard - there are far more NSFW content on Xitter than in games and yet I don’t see a peep of them banning payment towards that little blue checkmark.
