Well, what did dey evah do fuh us???


Canada should follow suit


BC has already implemented actions to limit foreign ownership without them actively living in the residence. Probably more to be done though, but one needs to be careful about unintended consequences.


>without them actively living in the residence

This seems like it would be a bit of a difficult thing to police as far as foreigners goes.


an “unintended” consequence


like house prices falling to affordable levels?


That is the intended and predicted concequence. unintended is things you didn't think of and they can take a long time to appear.


as a canadian, i’m willing to take the chance (s)


They did but they left so many loopholes that was it was basically pointless. Foreigners simply started making an incorporation or using any of the quick "PR" schemes to be able to purchase a property.

Many people will even pool money from the multiple families if need be to purchase residence and then renting it to Canadian citizens for profit or putting on AirBnb.


it’s super easy though. i had a hard time getting into rrt games.


social media can definitely harm your body if you’re constantly overstimulated and sedentary


Israel doesn’t allow Messianic Jews to be citizens for this reason.


So I'm confused--are you saying that Israel thinks Messianic Jews are not Jews because they abandoned their faith or something like that, OR are you saying that Israel doesn't let Messianic Jews to be citizens because sometimes non-Jews convert to become Messianic Jews?


It sounds like a variation of a - not so much that they abandoned their faith, per-se, but that the faith they espouse as being Jewish is not acceptably ‘in the same room’ as other Jewish faith.

It would be somewhat like saying you were a Messianic Christian because you believed that Mohammed was a later prophet. There is a word for that kind of religion, and it isn’t Christianity.


Israel basically sees them as evangelizing Christians in disguise. They don’t consider them Jewish because they both proselytize and worship Christ as the Messiah. Both of those things are offensive to the traditional tenets of Judaism.


you bet there is


Can you provide some examples?


I consider myself a pretty egalitarian dude. That accent still makes me stand to attention internally. I hate it. (And I haven't had much exposure to it in real life, so I suspect it's because its baked into our media landscape).


The problem with egalitarianism is that it leads to chaos, as we're now seeing in the UK. The old system was better.


That accent’ is received pronunciation, I’m guessing?


The public school accent I'm thinking of is a notch plummier than RP.


Messianic Judaism is usually seen as a corruptive and corruptED force. Israel bans Messianic Jews from being citizens.


Catholic means universal, so both present themselves as the original and true church, with the head either in Rome or Constantinople/Pentarchy. The actual break of communion comes from 1054 but really began much earlier.


Even in protestant churches like the Presbyterians and the Methodists you will hear references to the "Catholic Church" where it refers to the universal church that is inclusive all all believers regardless of denomination. For example in shows up in the Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed.


which country?


it’s the food
