⚠️ URGENT UPDATE: Premier Danielle Smith has now used the Notwithstanding Clause TWICE.
First to force teachers back to work with Bill 2.
Now to override trans rights through Bill 9.
It violates rights, sidesteps the courts, and puts everyone’s protections at risk.

My premier, admitting she asked a hostile foreign power to interfere in our election.
www.breitbart.com/politics/202... Smith tells Breitbart that US should pause its tariffs against Canada because it is benefitting the Liberals. Trump should want the CPC to win because "the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America."

Remember the Bucha Massacre? Putin was responsible for this atrocity and now the United States is making nice with him? While extorting Ukraine for minerals and threatening to cut off Starlink access? Instead of standing up to Putin we are trying to force Ukraine to surrender. Fucking disgraceful.

A reminder that “density” is not “overcrowding.”
More density (even modest density) = less overcrowding.

Yup. City planners literally printed this in an apartment open house I went to in Vancouver. An apartment as a “shield” for rich homeowners, from arterial noise and pollution. Hundreds of apartment renters used as human shields.
Here's just how bad this problem is in Seattle. See how the apartments in the image are used as a buffer?
Except the development shown isn't in Seattle. It's in Guelph, Ontario, and my point is this problem is so ingrained in North American urban planning that it could be in dozens of cities.

New study from IIHS shows that car bloat is dangerous even at low speeds:
If hit by a sedan going 27 mph, a pedestrian has a 60% chance of a moderate+ injury and 30% chance of a serious one.
If it's a pickup going 27 mph, those odds rise to 83% and 63%, respectively.

Vehicle height compounds dangers of speed for pedestrians
New pedestrian injury risk curves calculated by IIHS show that vehicles with taller front ends begin to cause serious injuries at lower speeds.

Spokane has passed several upzonings & housing reforms—eliminating parking minimums near transit, increasing height maximums, reducing lot minimums, allowing more missing middle, & expanding property tax exemptions for new apts—and now they have record construction even amidst high interest rates
