Canadian mega landlord using AI ‘pricing scheme’ as it massively hikes rents
Source? In exactly what way is Alberta “heading down the toilet”? Because I just seen a news piece the other day that said there is record movement from every province into Alberta specifically.
A few things spring to mind as someone who lives in Alberta:
Alberta is looking at transferring control of some of our hospitals to the catholics (Covenant Health has a former premier and the former health minister on the board of directors, hmm) for a start. UCP has also been eyeballing getting Alberta to leave the CPP.
Can’t speak for other cities, but Calgary has been turning into a shit hole for years now. Homeless people and drug addicts are all over the place lately. Rents are spiking just like everywhere else.
Personal anecdote, the last time I had to take transit there was still blood on the wall of the station where a guy had been stabbed a few weeks prior. 2023 was a nasty year for transit stabbings.
