Not a hope Hobbyguy. He has absolutely no idea the same as Horgan.
Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have of changing others.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

So how did Liberals get more elected seats then?
Why are the NDP not in a position of majority?
Flaws.
As I said - polls are useless except for agendas - and statistics can be used in many ways - inappropriate and/or valid.
Math is HARD, stay in school!
40 - 31 = 9
9/40 = 22.5% of their support.
They had 40, they are down to 31, and that's a decline of 22.5% of their election day support. And that's exactly what I said in my post.
Then perhaps you should change your original wording - which implied a >22% drop in support - which has 2'ways to be taken you will have to admit.
Language and clarity are also tough - stay in school as well.

No George, that's not an answer. Can you actually answer a factual question?

A good 20% of Scandinavians live in public housing.
Usually, municipally owned.

Re: Hip... hip.... hooray, could be other Election
George - you actually confirm my point! "Municipally owned housing". In other words it is a bicycle Gregor issue! Which is what I have been saying all along! It is almost all on bicycle Gregor and Stephen Poloz and diddly doo to do with the provincial government!
Less on Poloz now, because increasing interest rates at this point is waaay late. Increasing mortgage rates now will make housing less affordable, even if does suppress prices a bit.

Yes must avoid bitterness. You can see what it does to you after 16 years.

What? Being delusional, petty, asinine, deceitful, jealous, and just plain old all around miscreants?
