[Hyprland] My first rice!
  • The Wikipedia article says it’s derived from the term “rice burner” and talks about the history of the term.

    I can say I first heard the term about 20 years ago about cars with unnecessary decals and accessories, and it definitely had a racist connotation then.

    I certainly wouldn’t use the term myself and I cringe when people use it here.

  • Globe editorial: Justin Trudeau needs to make housing a primary federal responsibility
  • They have the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the same people who currently provide mortgage insurance. In their original 1945 mandate, they were responsible for building housing for returning war veterans, as well as loans to purchase them. It was only later, in the 1980s, that the building part was dropped and they took up their current role.

    So the federal government has the option of returning the CMHC to its original mandate.
