Toronto institutions should not be rolling over to Ford over bike lanes with a cyclist mayor. It’s a shame the resistance has fallen so fully on everyday cyclists themselves

Reposting a huge paragraph from the authoritarian leader’s proprietary social media site with the tag “I am in strong agreement with the President” no matter the context is a strong signal that this mould of Democrat does not have what it takes to resist Trump.

As a bigger question, what are the political changes we can reasonably expect from Democratic controlled Congress? Executive orders and the Supreme Court’s shadow docket are really all Trump needs. People are very hopeful for the midterms, and I am unsure as to why.

This government is naive about what is coming. Famine, armed conflict, disease and natural disasters are basically the horsemen of the apocalypse, greed is idolatry, and hell is a hotter climate. Not to get too Christian with it. Point being: 34M is a pittance www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Carney’s legacy might be going to the mat for 1 (or 2) publicly funded oil pipelines + airport and failing to do the same for HSR. Hard to square with his climate finance background, unless he was far more interested in finance than climate.

Friendly reminder that to the extent these extreme climate events are ominous portents of things to come, they are also reality *today*, and will not only become more frequent but their nature will get more extreme as well.

Nearly every day I am contacted by people who are lying to me and trying to steal my money, and this has been the case for my entire (albeit short) adult life

I do not appreciate Carney, who’s been obscenely wealthy his entire adult life, lying about what one of the richest nations ever can and cannot afford. He’s just laundering his view that the incumbent oil sector must be protected for national unity at the expense of vulnerable people.

This is a bad bargain. What we are trading away is much more valuable than what oil companies are getting. It won’t be enough for them either. You can’t negotiate with the people holding a knife to the throat of the climate!

Carney at some point in his career recognized that this was our defining moment, the threat that encompassed the most aspects of life, but he has chosen the multi-millionaires-in-bunkers option as his ideal future rather than the public interests of robustness and regeneration.

The government buying privately-developed housing units is a legitimate way to create social housing. Prices have not yet been negotiated. To the extent that most housing in Canada is private, should market downturns be allowed to cripple an industry building public amenities like housing?

The policy was never going to be immediately popular because it involves taxpayer's money transferred to wealthy developers and it might mire Eby irreversibly. The other side of the balance sheet has to be addressed, though. This is a cost effective way to produce social housing
