Driver of a car almost hits me at a crosswalk, where I have right of way. the driver gets mad at me and honks repeatedly while calling me names.

Can we PLEASE have the ability to report and give tickets to careless drivers before they kill someone?

I'm so sorry your passive income has suffered. I would just like affordable shelter
Landlords want you to feel sorry for them for causing the housing affordability crisis.

“Between 2019 and 2025, asking rents in Montreal doubled. Rents in the city are now so high that landlords are ‘struggling to find tenants.’”
Montreal housing crisis: Landlords aren't the victims here
The Montreal Gazette recently promoted a tone-deaf article positioning landlords as victims of potential solutions to the housing crisis.

Some random group of NIMBYs, claiming to speak for all of Toronto, is deeply concerned about neighbourhood stores.

The spokesperson (frequent activist vs planning reform) lives in a wealthy, deeply suburban part of Etobicoke.

These people speak for no one, and ought to be ignored.
