Really damning that the federal government spent twelve years and $34 billion dollars on tarsands expansion in a climate crisis instead of the thousand other things they should have funded. Our kids won’t forgive this, and they shouldn’t.

This upcoming networking event for racialized folks looks amazing (and so important). For those interested, it will be an opportunity to meet other seasoned BIPOC professionals in urban planning and sustainability and to learn about career paths in the field. @cityhivevan

Seems important to remember right now that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. Painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. Sharrows? Safer to NOT have them. usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…

We need a cap on the number of unique zones, and a cap on the quantity of rules in each zone. A good rule of thumb: 2 pages max (not 30). Rules should evolve with time to address contemporary goals and challenges, but we need to wage a constant battle against regulatory bloat.
If a provincial government was so inclined to cut down on planning regulations an easy peasy way to do that would be to limit municipalities to about 12 to 16 zones max and only 3 zones for any specific use. E.g. 3 residential zones, 3 mixed-use zones, 3 commercial zones, and so…

Being a #housingfirst advocate is getting very lonely. No matter how good the results we keep being dragged back to “shelter first “ & “earn your housing first” despite dismal results from that approach. The failed examples given as justification were not real #housingfirst.

@DannyOleksiuk I’d love to see this incorporated into social assistance policy to allow chosen families to pool their shelter allocation & have the family/community that keeps ppl alive & well. Restricting this is bananas!!
Yep. If the US can cap principal property exemption, why can’t we?
At first glance, the capital gains inclusion rate change looks like the story of the budget, but government has managed to limit its scope enough (including continued housing exemptions) to completely undermine their argument around intergenerational equity.
