Dont see any reason to see a dealer for our EV. We've had it seven years and so far its only needed three parts - a new 12v battery, one rear wheel bearing which I replaced myself and rear wiper blade. Grand total of $400 in seven years. There's nothing really to service.

I would strongly disagree with that. Transmission flushes are LARGELY a money grab. Unless your car is shifting erratically, hesitating, jerking or not going into gear it is better to just leave your transmission fluid as is. In fact putting new fluid into an old transmission that is working correctly can actually CAUSE issues.
Id say giving 68k in taxes on an average Cdn family income of 158k is taxed to death, wouldn't you?
Since when could they do that before? I bought my first house in the early 80s with a low skill job but the definition of "house" has changed. Most people would not consider a square 1940's 600 sq ft shack with asbestos siding and single pane windows on the wrong side of the tracks worthy of a house they'd want to own, but we did.
Like the saying goes "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Thats what happens when you have a king instead of a president.
Why not? If we spend 200 million a year on clearing but save a billion in insurance claims plus the trauma of relocating people during fires and having them lose all their possessions, it seems like a smart move. ps. We spent 12 days at a local hotel along with hundreds of other people during a forest fire two years ago. We were fed and housed on the gov's dime, so I cant imagine what the final bill was but they spent at LEAST $2000 on us alone. Id estimate there were 500 of us in that hotel alone so that's a million dollars. And that was only one of several hotels. Add on the cost of firefighting and the loss of property and it gets VERY costly in a hurry. To say nothing about how traumatizing it was for my three neighbors who lost their houses and livestock to the fire.
Thats true. But SOME of it IS arson, just not the large majority. Its hard to stop the disinformation when there's a kernel of truth.

Actually it got torn down to make way for a Shoppers Drug Mart.
But you got me curious so I went back to my home town and searched for a similar house in the same area. Found one similar to it but about 15 years newer and bigger listed for 159k so Id say mine if it was still standing would be about 145k. We sold for 33k so its gone up 4.4 times in value in 40 years. But then again the Canadian dollar has gone up 3.7 times in value due to inflation in the same time period.
So, yes houses cost more than they did, but not MUCH more in that town in particular.
