hilarious (derogatory) for Danielle Smith to now push a set of gross anti-immigration referendum questions when just a few years back we had to see this shit on the TTC for an entire summer

hear me out: peaky blinders but it's the toronto tow truck mafia in the 2020s

It’s the main difference from Quebec or Brexit. At least in those cases the government said it was gonna do a referendum, then won a mandate in an election. The UCP is backdooring the whole thing because they know they’d get destroyed in an election if they ran on it.

Whatever you think about Quebec sovereignists, at least they run in elections with the clear platform of “we are going to do a referendum”

Alberta’s situation of a mealy-mouthed party who won an election almost 3 years ago with no explicit separation question on the ballot is much more fraught imo

I think we can be assured from all of the clues in this text that "urbanist youtube" in this case is a very specific subset (n=1)

Being profoundly upset about the 51st state stuff was not an unreasonable reaction.

These Kensington Market groups revealed their true nature when they stopped the pedestrianization from going ahead. Bog standard NIMBYs, but they wrap themselves with the market’s history while betraying the principles that allowed it to flourish in the first place.

most people, left and right, treat traffic violence like the weather and not a specific policy choice

We should add the UofT in front!!

I didn’t have the chutzpah to suggest it should be one of the major interchange stations, but upon second thought you are absolutely correct. Even better, St. George becomes UofT North and Queen’s Park becomes UofT South. Museum can stay since it has the cool pillars.

Now that both York and TMU have stations named for them I feel it is my duty as an alum to demand that U of T also gets a station (it’s only fair). We will take either Queen’s Park or Museum. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Screen shot of Safe Parkside IG post

Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.

My favourite fact about the butt fumble is that it was also a Scorigami game, and still is the only 49-19 in NFL history so far.

If you yank their supports they literally do wither on the vine. Car suburbs not being able to afford their own existence without higher-level gov’t support or endless sprawl growth is @strongtowns.org 101 stuff, it’s surprising to see Stancil so resistant to it.

I take it all back, maybe it’s actually good that millennials can’t afford homes

We're not against nice things, you see, we're just in favour of the rules that make nice things more-or-less impossible. It's very complex. Stop being mean to us on the internet.
