This is how cheap our solar could be if we didn’t tax it like cigarettes
This system would cost over $30k in Canada vs $8500 in Australia

As we continue to discuss police resources, I keep thinking about what happened on my street this past summer.

Time and again I hear people insist that any density is good but all buildings are not equal and investment condos are built to raise prices and resist affordable rent/housing. Let's not bail them out with RRSP. Maybe socialise them into public housing if they're so hard up?
the number of unsold condos in metro Vancouver is approximately the same as the metro Vancouver homeless population

No amount of incentives seems to be able to reverse the glut. How did we get here? And how bad could it get? Read more.

We need a Housing Protection Act. If you want to increase sewer fees or parking requirements or historical preservation, the burden of proof is on you to produce a Housing Impact Assessment showing there are no adverse impacts on housing supply.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"
Turns out, mom was right.

I support a democratically elected park board. Part of democracy is ensuring that the government’s decisions match the city’s values.
Vancouver is a city for all its people. Trans people included. I am calling on the Park Board to rethink this event and make this right.

Any company that does this in Canada should be widely reported on and won’t see another dime of mine. #ElbowsUp
My worry is that companies who have to raise prices in the US because of tariffs will also raise prices in Canada to cover any losses even if we don't have tariffs in Canada. #cdnpoli

A journalist with Canada’s public broadcaster was not allowed on the Canadian plane air dropping aid into Gaza because of Israeli restrictions.
When she made it onto a Jordanian plane, she was not allowed to film what she saw on the ground in Gaza because Israel forbids it from being shown.

POPs (privately owned, publicly accessible spaces), much like inclusionary zoning, are a well-intentioned idea in theory that consistently don't deliver, because some things are public goods to the point they can only be delivered at scale by governments.
Our public spaces are there for all of us. In 2013, we negotiated a beautiful courtyard in midtown Toronto for everyone to enjoy. A private company has now been using it for exclusive use, including weddings and corporate events. That won’t stand. www.thestar.com/news/gta/how...

Reminder that the easiest way to get away with killing someone in Ontario is to run them over with your truck in broad daylight while they're on a bicycle and then claim you didn't see them -- it will only cost you $2,000 and 100 hours of community service. Zero Vision at its finest.
