BoC expected to raise rates again this week, vying to quash inflation faster | CTV News
  • Raising rates will lower prices to some extent. So it should help somewhat. The issue is that's it's a very very blunt instrument. It just happens to be one of the only tools the BoC has to use. Ideally the feds would have stepped in at some poi t in the last 15 years to stop this madness...

  • BoC expected to raise rates again this week, vying to quash inflation faster | CTV News
  • I mean yeah. Once other "financial assets" become more attractive (bonds at 5.5%?) maybe less parasitical activity will happen in the housing market. The whole thing started going off the rails when rates dropped to essentially nothing.

    If you think current home owners have it bad, imagine anyone trying to get in the market now. Not only are mortgages 3X the price, but the houses are 2X the price they were before. The entire thing is completely unsustainable, and yet the Feds have done fuck all. Well no, actually they have made it worse every single step of the way (see the first time home buyers savings account for the latest idiotic idea).

  • To solve Dutch housing crisis, proposal aimed to ban the rich from buying some homes. Could it work here?
  • It's at the point where it's clear no single measure will solve this issue. What is absolutely infuriating is that NOTHING is being done. Actually scratch that, they are actively making things worse with crap like the "First Home Savings Account".

  • What real life person had a "redemption arc"?
  • I just want to know what the actual fuck happened to him. I know a lot of people will say he was always a man-child and there's some things to back that up for sure. But I swear COVID does something to some people and they just turned into complete unredeemable asses.

  • What is cost of living like in Canada?
  • The question is really best answered by asking did the person own real estate before the pandemic hit?

    The financial chasm that ripped apart society along the lines of real estate ownership is very real

  • medicalxpress.com One night of total sleep deprivation shown to have antidepressant effect for some people

    A study led by the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, has investigated a seemingly contradictory phenomenon of sleep deprivation leading to mood improvement in patients with depressive disorders.

    Major depression has previously been associated with abnormalities in REM sleep. Excess REM sleep would diminish noradrenaline, resulting in decreased binding to the ɑ-2 receptor in the medial frontal lobes comprised of the ACC and the medial prefrontal cortex. The absence of REM sleep with TSD may give some participants a break to improve top-down control of the amygdala, resulting in an antidepressant effect.
