VAUGHAN, Ont. - Liberal Leader Mark Carney says his government would double Canada’s rate of residential housing construction over the next decade to nearly 500,000 new homes per year.
“It doesn’t effect people, even if people are upset about it, so why should we do anything” is not a good and effective way for a government to work.
The same trust in self-governing is what made the Internet the shithole that we’re dealing with now. I’d rather the parties make an adjustment before something is abused, not after.
Nobody in this goddamned world has ever heard the term “preventative” I swear to God.
You don’t brush your teeth when you start getting cavities. You brush to prevent them.
You don’t install seatbelts after you’ve been ejected from your car. You get a car that already has seatbelts and airbags.
Vaccines, healthy foods, routine hardware maintenance (cars, computers, etc), exercise and stretches… You’re supposed to do and get things BEFORE you have the problems they solve.
We really really need to get into the habit, as a species, of trying to prevent bad things before they happen.
