I'm not exaggerating when I say that Communauto has changed my life
Finalement une bonne chronique sur ce sujet. Pour quand l'audit de Parc, ou plusieurs cyclistes sont morts?

Joseph Heath is one of the few people whose writing consistently lights up my brain like a Christmas tree. It's very satisfying to feel ideas click together so well, in a way that feels like it was obvious all along

Au 15-18, nous avons tenté de comprendre ce que ça signifiait. Arrêter les projets déjà en cours ou cesser la planification? Est-ce que l’on repousse le plan vélo 2023-27? Qu’arrive t’il avec les contrats déjà donnés?
Le parti a refusé de clarifier sa position.

A chilling read, and a side of Doug Ford that all Canadians should be aware of as he positions himself for the national stage.
Ford exposes an uncomfortable truth: Canada's system is shockingly easy to take advantage of. Authoritarianism can happen here too.
🥳
Great collection of points, including some less obvious ones
I've never seen *anything* like this, either.
Joint statement from BBC, Reuters, AFP, AP about their journalists literally starving.
Related, most housing is old housing. So new housing being expensive matters a lot less than what happens to old housing, if it filters up or down. We should focus less on how expensive the tiny portion of new housing is, and more on what happens to the vast majority of housing that already exists.
Dans ce type d'article il y a toujours un prof qui dénonce les tours comme si elles représentent un sorte de fléau affreux et non pas des logements pour des gens. J'aimerais aussi pouvoir attendre la solution 100% idéale pour la crise du logement.

Big congratulations to Christine Boyle @christineboyle.bsky.social, BC’s new Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs. Much deserved, excellent choice. Extremely important portfolio. Via @dailyhivevancouver.bsky.social
When I started commuting on it regularly last year I was horrified by how dangerous it is (number of bikes, high speeds, proximity to high speed traffic). Especially the part between Sherbrooke and chinatown.
Are American environmentalists okay
Really was one of the dumbest and most harmful things possible for “virtue signaling” to become some kind of epithet. Sending externally visible signals that you are engaging in pro-social behavior is normal, natural, and good, it’s how society works. Other people can’t read your fucking mind.
Joseph Heath knocks it out of the park again.

Garbage, Parking, and the Death of Small Businesses. Eager to hear your thoughts!

This weekend I wrote about Toronto’s suburban areas’ + their cowardly councillors’ selfish refusal to allow housing & shelters. Rejection of civic responsibility yet they enjoy the wealth & benefits of city life. Hypocrisy. Unfairness. Cowardice. Moral sump.
Great conversation between Paul Wells and Allison Christians.

Tras beau reportage sur la privatisation des espaces qui devraient être publics

I partially grew up in Brazil, and I remember being a little bewildered by the US "one drop" rule for defining blackness. God knows Brazil has a lot of issues surrounding race, but they don't map over cleanly onto US equivalents (ie racism vs colorism)
What an effective way to announce right off the bat that nothing you say should be taken seriously.
Oh no, they just created Brooklyn/Montreal, ie. a place with no charm or character to speak of
At that moment, bursts of gunfire erupt close by, at least 15 shots. “Whoo! Whoo!” one contractor yelps.
“I think you hit one,” one says.
Then comes a shout: “Hell, yeah, boy!”

C'est fascinant à quel point il y a peu de lien entre les intentions de vote au fédéral et au provincial
Graph showing reduction in homelessness in Finland between 1989 and 2020
“Finland’s success isn’t a matter of luck or the outcome of quick fixes. It’s the result of a sustained, well-resourced national strategy, driven by a ‘Housing First’ approach, providing people experiencing homelessness with immediate permanent housing.”

Not just in transit! The capital cost explosion in Ontario concerns me deeply. The New Mississauga hospital is somehow *$14 Billion CAD* which is like 5 to 10 times what it would have been about a decade ago. Where are our politicians standing up for our tax dollars?!
Painful to see Toronto attempt to drag itself kicking and screaming over the line to approving the smallest amount of mid-density housing
