Once ethicist, now bureaucrat; always proud to be union.
Agreed. Flexibility by default. Presence with purpose.

I’d love:
- more mixed-zoning
- mixed-income neighborhoods (more densification at that)
- I’d settle for any sidewalks
- commuter cycling infrastructure

Artificial traffic-calming measures are low on my list. I think I’d rather they be slowed organically by non driver use.

Like many things in Canadian politics, I’ve heard that Quebec’s language/labelling regs are a non-trivial obstacle.

Agreed that I hope the external monster lights a fire under people’s feet.

Étant donné que j'ai beaucoup apprécié le fromage grillé au sirop d'érable, je pense qu'il s'agit d'une expérimentation permise.

My French is /just/ too weak to follow the accusations of that post.

But for other alleged crimes against the combination of potatoes, cheese, (and meat), I’m partial to www.reddit.com/r/PoutineCri...

In @zachweinersmith.bsky.social ‘s defence, it’s non-trivial to differentiate ‘(the)French’ from ‘Swiss writing in the French language.’ (As many Swiss Cantons predominantly do.)

What’s that saying about “scratch a liberal” ..?

Even a “I’m sorry; I can see now how it looked” would buy from me a quantum of sympathy.

I think they may be (largely) mutually exclusive: and I’d rather protect Birthright Citizenship.

Depends.

I optimistically think of it as getting some of my own extra carbon costs back, and some of other - more wasteful consumer’s - on top.

The Canadian version is “in a canoe.”

Never formed a Federal Government.

There have been not a few Provincial and Territorial NDP Governments.

As long as there’s a carve-out for housing co-ops; we need more of them, and mixed-income at that would be best.

I remember seeing that, along with an episode of _Animals_ “Birds of Prey” narrated by Anthony Mackie.
I feel like there are a few other MCU actors that were well cast as narrators. (But I can’t remember which are real and which were just my partner and I playing “what would be the best pairing?”)
