Pls consider participating by Zoom to save some public $$$. The last time I checked TO's finances are completely unsustainable (dependent on the province; cc @mayoroliviachow.ca). Plus avoiding jetting to Slovenia would be more enviro-sustainable. 🙏🙏

I’m looking forward to returning to speak at the Urban Future “Better Cities” event. If you haven’t been, it’s one of the best global urbanism conferences out there. The 2026 event will be taking place in March in Ljublana urban-future.org

Hey, truthophobe Anne Applebaum... I'll let you in on a secret: they don't need to pry them away; the EU is doing an awesome job on its own, pushing them away with accusations of xenophobia & charging absurd fines just for wanting to preserve their culture.

Is Applebaum a writer/journalist, or just PR/communications staff for the EU? Where's the impartial investigative journalism into, or interrogation of the accuracy of these claims? Musk Derangement Syndrome (an offshoot of TDS) isn't a good look.

Well done, West! By decimating domestic manufacturing (& related livelihoods) in favour of globalization, you've destroyed your economies while encouraging global emissions to rise. Now, have you figured out how to segregate your atmosphere from China's? 👇

Look, I get it... you're an advocacy group delivering on your mission. But, if this court decision is upheld, it will handcuff gov'ts from all sorts of positive initiatives in the future, so long as some interest group can come along & claim harm -- the ultimate NIMBY on steroids.

OK TDS-inflicted Canucks: which is more important under your ethics?
1. Well-paying jobs for your fellow Canadians?
2. Not cooperating with a gov't that you detest for so many reasons, including its current deportation program?
Let's watch you undo this moral Gordian Knot.

For Canadians who say our fed & prov gov'ts have a "revenue problem" & need to raise taxes, consider this:
Australia has:
-⬇️ avg income taxes
-⬇️ GST (10%)
-⬇️ council rates on homes (< half of property taxes in 🇨🇦)
- & Medicare
Sorry, but 🇨🇦 has a SPENDING PROBLEM!
