I’ve talked a lot about the way that leaning on “affordability” too hard might backfire on progressives, and here’s a real manifestation of it: voters insisting homeownership is unaffordable, and thus we must cut or eliminate property taxes. Meanwhile their home equity has risen 88% in six years.

In which I lay out why Minister Quinn's decision to suspend all private institutions from OSAP is a desperate effort to distract attention from the fact that it is now clear that he lied about the reasons for the February OSAP cuts (and he knew he was lying). Those cuts need to be reversed. Now.

Cleveland Cliffs’s CEO continuing to reveal himself as a cartoon villain is, while horrible for his Canadian employees and customers, a service to anyone preaching greater scrutiny of Americans who buy our assets. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Why is Stellantis in Brampton in the first place? @spaikin.bsky.social and @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social discuss why Canadians have a vested interest in keeping the Stellantis assembly plant in Brampton, on the #onpoli podcast youtu.be/SY3cOGqatc0?...

One thing we've tried to emphasize at @moreneighboursto.bsky.social is Toronto is doing *neither* well. We aren't allowing enough private housing and we are making our affordable housing slow and expensive through our own processes (Housing Now still has produced 0 units in 7 years).

The moderators of the AskCanada subreddit were so sick of posts that were like "American here, I come in peace, we're so ashamed of Trump, please adopt us, do you still like me Y/N" that they posted a new rule with what I thought was a very well-expressed sentiment

Mangroves, vital for protecting coastlines and storing carbon, are making an unexpected comeback due to increased legal protections and public awareness of their importance. Since 2010, the rate of mangrove loss has slowed down, with more forests being restored than destroyed.

Every so often I remember the day I stumbled upon this real life comparison between an Austin Mini pick-up and a modern mid-size Chevy pick-up The bloat in body size & the blandness in style are starting. Thought the truck bed is about the same size. #vintagecar #carbloat #waronthecar #AustinMini

New from me at TVO: the government's formal justification for gutting FOI law is nonsense and the only upside to all this is that legislative power can be a shield for this government and a sword for the next. www.tvo.org/article/anal...

For the morning crowd. Read my lips: no new taxes. Alberta style Alberta Budget 2026 didn't raise taxes. It just raised your property taxes — the one tool the province left municipalities, then spent years criticizing them for using. Wrote about it deadfortaxreasons.wordpress.com/2026/03/04/a...

The crazy amount of ads that CBC is broadcasting for the closing ceremony is actually so annoying. 4 Ads every 3 minutes. The Italian music and performers are doing a great job, and we get to see none of that.

They really did think when they started abducting people we’d all go along with it because we’re all secretly malicious xenophobes like them. Related, they’ve never believed virtue is real, only “virtue signaling”

Metrolinx can't run night trains "due to track ownership"?! Metrolinx owns: 100% of Lakeshore East 100% of Stouffville 100% of Barrie Kitchener line to just before Bramalea Lakeshore West to Burlington. Rather than sharing their actual constraints they spew vague misleading bullshit.

​New Zealand will replace its gas tax with road user charges based on distance, time, and weight. "Weight" is an intriguing variable. Will owners of massive SUVs and utes need to pay extra b/c of their environmental and safety costs? (They should.)
