Two years after Valérie Plante’s administration said a new housing bylaw would lead to the construction of 600 new social housing units per year, the city hasn’t seen a single one.
The Bylaw for a Diverse Metropolis forces developers to include social, family and, in some places, affordable housing units to any new projects larger than 4,843 square feet.
If they don’t, they must pay a fine or hand over land, buildings or individual units for the city to turn into affordable or social housing.
band together is just impossible now, they learn from french revolution so well. Make sure average joe will be out on the street if they cant receive their next wage, and what you can do against government who owns all the firearms, your whole data about you and your family so you can easily blackmailed while you marching with empty stomach without place to sleep ?
Unfortunately the government has all the tanks. And historically people will tolerate nearly anything short of death - often via food scarcity - before they actually put their own necks on the line.
This is the thing with Lemmy - there’s all these veiled calls for violence which seem like an astroturfing campaign to foment social unrest from users on weird instances which should be banned.
You don’t need tanks - we live in a democracy - you can band together and form a political party to replace the government, and convince people to vote for you. That’s how it works.

That’s not true anymore and it honestly hasn’t been for the past few years, arguably a lot longer than that.
It’s also a core aspect of American democracy that the American people have the collective right to overthrow their government should it become tyrannical and try again. That’s actually why the second amendment is there, and covid more than anything showed us why it’s so important.
It’d be nice if it wasn’t necessary, but it’s much more morally harmful to allow the country to go to hell in a handbasket because you value nonviolence over the welfare of your community than it is to use violence to either hit the reset button or try something new.
We actually face genocide now. 🤦
Lmao, this is a post about Canada. Your post is the clown meme of far right bullshit, ending in a claim about genocide.
You can use your “logic” to justify anything. It’s totally garbage. “The world is ending therefore X is justified.” Just grow up and deal with it or leave and go somewhere else.
If you don’t have the political fortitude to be able to play ball in a democracy, then you won’t have what it takes to govern a country if you succeed in overthrowing it by violence.
