Métro de Montréal - Discussion générale
This is the kind of comment that is profoundly disturbing since it pretends to promote a partially regurgitated possible solution with an exaggerated personal frustration made visible through an extreme personal opinion. Let’s address it by sections: A) The salvageable part of the awful comment (I’ll try to bring it back to the subject of the forum as well): - The possible solution: investment in housing is necessary no matter what. A promotion of it and incentives to it could be better coordinated, especially linking them to transit developments. Social services are necessary and useful. The typical issue is that all of that costs money people are rarely willing to contribute with. Rare are the transportation systems that are profitable or even in equilibrium in the world, that give good and safe service and that do not receive large subsidies. Examples exist of course, such as Londons TFL, but they exist due to very high ticket prices that would most probably be socially unacceptable in Canada. Even then, these systems have problems of their own. B) The trow away part of the ugly reproachable comment: This country needs a huge cleanup of comments such as the one that originated this response. Canada is currently one of the best places to live in the world. One of the most stable and secure places in general. Far away from being perfect, but relativity among the current state of the planet is more than important. Montreal being one of the places in the country that have the most balanced standard-cost of living relationship. The comment saying that it is pathetic shows a lack of consciousness about anything outside of reality in most of the rest of places on earth where a human is capable to live in. And it is also annoying in its own displaced ignorance by itself. Places that traditionally have been considered as better off than Canada and Montreal for different reasons currently have worse situations (The UK post Brexit, France with growing social disparities that are causing extremism, and so on). Now, looking at places that have had a less fortunate reputation, most of the world is unstable, much more subjugating and way more violent than the place you dare to call pathetic (Brazil with its sixty something thousand murders a year, China with relentless crack on expression or discern, Turkey with its increasing theocratic expansion into every way of government and life, Iran with its extreme morale police and its overpowering control on people’s conduct and attire, etc.). Take a look outside, take a real look inside and reevaluate your opinion. In other words: go out of your pampered little basement, in a cotton-coddled neighbourhood of (probably) Montreal, travel some, look at real situations abroad and come back with a just opinion, mate.- 1

Allez faire un tour en Afghanistan et revenez me dire que nous sommes une nation pathétique. Certains ne voient qu'un mur devant leurs yeux en tout temps -

All I know is this country needs a huge cleanup, top to bottom. It's becoming a sad pathetic nation. Tough on crime needs to be back, need heavy investment in housing/MH/social services asap. -
