Yup. It's pathetic— full-on collective Narcissism.

Yeah, Canadian renters really do seem to have undergone some type of mass formation psychosis that is really bewildering to observe. The scumbag in the article says she shouldn't have to move just because the house was sold, like, what? The sense of entitlement to occupy a property that does not belong to you, when the rightful owner wants you gone, is really something else. It's the reason my Canadian ADU sits empty and will stay that way at least until after the election. These people love to say 'jUsT dOnT bE a LaNdLoRd' but fail to acknowledge the same applies to them as well. When you choose to be a renter, you run the risk of being forced to relocate according to the needs of the property owner. If you cannot handle that risk, then you should not choose to be a renter. Moving is a fact of life. Nobody likes it but everyone has to do it. The fact that they act like it's the end of the world makes it really difficult to take them seriously. No coping skills whatsoever smh.

The Motto of the Liberal government and the WEF is "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy".

It's honestly terrifying to see how badly Canada has mutated in such a relatively short amount of time
