Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
The reality is that there is no lobby group or investment class as represented in our government as landlords and real estate investors. Not oil, not lumber, not insurance, not mining, no other group even comes close. Something like 75% of MPs and MPPs own at least one investment property across the board regardless of party. They're always going to vote in self-interest, regardless of what they tell you they stand for. That's the problem.
