We lack coherent policy guidance and shoot on our own goal repeatedly. It’s all connected: planning, architecture, budget, transit, housing/land use policy; we’re facing challenges and the same old same old isn’t good enough; @brenttoderian.bsky.social @toderianuw.bsky.social

This Remembrance Day, we pause to honour all who have served and sacrificed for Canada, including the many Indigenous, Black, and other racialized Canadians who answered the call to serve—often while experiencing racism at home.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Many city halls are deep in budget-time. Some are pushing austerity ideologies, and are ignoring the difference between costs and cost-savers/value creators. Citizens, PAY ATTENTION, and never forget that the TRUTH about a city’s REAL aspirations isn’t found in its visions. It’s found in its budget.

This summer, Canada’s tourism sector did more business than ever before — by welcoming the world and being our own best customer. 
 
More good news: we just renewed the Canada Strong Pass for the holidays and summer 2026 — so it’s more affordable to explore our incredible country.

This week on ‘Whatever This Is’ we unpack why Danielle Smith is running Alberta like a cosplay authoritarian because she’s too weak to govern like a Premier.

We break down her fake “strongman” act, her panic over recall laws, and what Albertans can do to push back.

Childcare and maternal policies in the USA are the worst in the developed world, and have been for years.
This flies in the face of all economic and human development evidence. It never ceases to boggle my mind.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.
