X updates its terms, files countersuit to lay claim to the 'Twitter' trademark after newcomer's challenge
Elon Musk’s X is updating its Terms of Service to indicate it still lays claim to the “Twitter” trademark. The move to add this detail to the company’s terms follows an announcement from a Virginia-based startup, which recently filed an application to trademark the term “Twitter.”The startup, Operation Bluebird, claims that X had abandoned the brand “Twitter” by renaming its social networking service “X.” In its petition to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office filed on December 2, the startup pointed to a post from X owner Musk on July 23, 2023, which proclaimed that the social network would soon “bid adieu to the twitter brand.”

Canada Needs More Non-Market Housing to Address Housing Insecurity, Experts Say
The private sector housing experiment has failed: Ottawa must now step up on social housing
There are many strategies needed simultaneously to address housing affordability in Canada. The expansion of social housing supply is a particularly effective one.The Conversation
I don't mean to single this post out because I'm bringing it up since it happens a lot.
But why do we keep having these housing talks that have no basis of reality. Specifically isn't it almost universally believed that if the government thought something they passed would noticeably lower housing prices it be repealed by the end of the week.
It's like going into a personal finance space and 90% is what would you do if you won the lottery.
I watched a video about how many progressive movements was at one point lofty dreams before they became reality which somewhat swayed my belief in how things can be campaigned politically.
In itself I do there's space for this, but it seems like it's shoving things that'll more conducive on getting movement on the issue like voting reform to the side. Or in your analogy a lot of the people in Canada want the patient dead and the current system caters to them, so having these theoretical discussions about how we could keep them alive doesn't change that. We either need to change those people beliefs or change the way politics work.
why do we keep having these housing talks that have no basis of reality
Which part has no basis in reality?
* Rent control is/was a thing in many provinces.
* I'm pretty sure federal or provincial governments directly building homes was done into the 1980s.
* Our governments are pretty happy to give low interest loans to businesses, so funding development that way also seems pretty realistic.
isn't it almost universally believed that if the government thought something they passed would noticeably lower housing prices it be repealed by the end of the week
I'm not sure that's the case. Boomers are a shrinking demographic. The proportion of the population who thinks they'll never own a home is growing. In that environment, I can see a growing appetite for legislation that would lower housing cost.
Incidentally, a great way to do that is with tax reform, which could instantly remove some of the heat from the market. It doesn't always have to be big spending.
