The real estate market in Canada is facing a massive housing crisis, largely due to companies like Ourboro who allow investors to “piggyback” their cash investment on your mortgage qualification so they can bid more for the home against other buyers. This practice is detrimental to the real estate market and should not be allowed in Canada. One of the issues with Ourboro is that it allows investors to use your mortgage qualification as a way of making money from the real estate market. Let’s say you have a downpayment of $200k and Ourboro gives you an additional $100k, then they own 50% of any appreciation that occurs in the next 10 years. If your property appreciates by $500k over this time period, Ourboro will take $250k along with their initial deposit. This makes it difficult for buyers to make any significant profit off their property if it doesn’t appreciate at least 2 times what they paid into it.

Flatpak is a popular Linux package format that has quickly become the go-to for many users, especially those who don’t use Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu. It offers a low-friction way to install and maintain applications without having to worry about versioning issues or compatibility with different distros. Recently, Flathub opened up the ability for applications to be uploaded in binary form, which is essential for language-specific build systems like Electron/Node, Rust, Go etc. However, this means that users are unable to scrutinise the source code of their application in the Flathub build system. To address this problem many advocates of Flathub suggest running an antivirus scanner rather than looking further into why they can’t inspect the source code before installing it - an absurd premise indeed!
