  • Calling parents who can afford to help their kids out as the new “aristocrat” class is a bit of a stretch.

    I got a huge help with my down payment from my parents. But they are by no means “landed” wealthy class people. Years later they barely had enough to retire and i’m trying to help them where i can.

    Dont let the 0.1% distract you by shifting blame to other working class people. Yes, people who got big help from their parents, but we’re not old money.










  • I’m doing my part!

    I used to go to my local loblaws chain almost exclusively because it is so convenient (like, literally across the street). For months now i have actively made an effort to avoid them at all costs. So that’s thousands of dollars revenue gone for them

    At the same time, i’m getting higher quality food from elsewhere

    I count myself very lucky to have the resources to escape the clutches of the westons (and metro/empire). I realize many dont have the means to do the same and we need to do better to give everyone more options
