Mayor conflates low taxes with "affordability." But when public services like transit remain unusable for most people, that becomes incredibly expensive. Saddling people with car payments, Uber/Lyft costs, air pollution and climate change is not affordable.

Mark Carney is about to announce more of his “elbows up” major projects.
But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell.
