Doomers are annoying. We live at the peak of human civilization and yall act like it’s the worst period to live in. It isn’t. We’ve slid a bit since 2019 but we’re far from being as bad as even 10-15 years ago
Just to be clear: R-CG zoning does not eliminate single family homes. They won't all be torn down and anyone can decide to build one if they want. It's just adding a few additional menu items and leaves all the old favourites. That's it #yyc #yyccc
Two things can be true at the same time. The first is by in large the biggest opponents of zoning reform skew towards older homeowners, not every time, but it is much of the time. It's also true that the people who want zoning reform skew younger but they do have allies among…

There's been a lot of chatter about the capital gains inclusion rate hike, but what do Canadians say? Most polls suggest Canadians are on side with the move 338canada.ca/p/early-number…
Yep: "In fact, raising the inclusion rate on capital gains strengthens the country’s social fabric by making the tax system a bit fairer at a time of punishing income inequality" #cdnpoli thestar.com/business/opini…
Poilievre’s “demonizing opponents, intimidating journalists, disrespecting institutions, politicizing the rights of the vulnerable and undermining truth are warning signs for democratic erosion,” writes Christopher Holcroft. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/…

Only in auto investments do we have this cheap & easy “cost per job” criticism from the commentary class. Auto plants generate $10B+ in activity a year & ~$2B in tax. There’s your denominator. BTW still waiting on “cost per job” analysis on last week’s $2.4B AI announcement.

To solve the housing crisis, we should legalize gorgeous apartment buildings like this everywhere.
Wait. What? @acoyne who’s just finished fulminating over federal tax credits being used to subsidize new EV plants in Ontario now finds it just peachy keen for the same federal government to fund completion of a pipeline to help out Alaberta ingrates? Irony knows no bounds.🤷🏼🤔🤷🏼

Anti-density, NIMBY-dominated, low-density parts of Toronto are becoming less and less hospitable places for families with young children. Places that are adding a lot of new apartments are seeing increases in the number of young children.

Let's hope that there's serious attention to getting the ground level right. Lots of towers don't necessarily deliver the urbanism needed in this context. Pedestrian-oriented design - with emphasis on short blocks, wider sidewalks and a rich mix of primary uses - is crucial.

You know those condo towers where people say you can't raise a family? In Toronto, Spadina-Fort York's population rose much more than in any other ward from 2016 through 2021, and nearly 10pc of the increase was kids under 15

No. Consumption taxes are largely regressive unless adjusted for with income transfers. It’s why we have the GST Credit.

🇨🇦’s economy is building — a major new oil pipeline to tidewater — new battery 🔋 ⚡️ and 🚘 plants in Ontario and an EV parts ecosystem — world leading AI research clusters — major new renewable energy in NL, AB, BC, ON and QC — (hopefully in future) critical minerals mining
Sprawl developers try to convince us to move to "greenfield" suburbs to be closer to nature. But the effect of building at low densities is to push farmland and natural areas further and further away from where most of us live. It takes DENSITY to keep nature within easy reach.

@tkcorbett10 Yea I don't expect you could ever write a single bylaw for an entire province but I think there is a of unnecessary variation and a lot of deadwood as it were that's built up over the years. A lot of municipalities haven't had a major update to their bylaws in decades.…
@__cosmopolite__ With its standardized designs, they are in a way creating minimum federal zoning standards.
@ChrisSpoke Its weird to me that the province doesn't throw some serious coin at this issue. 100 million dollar investment, which is probably too much money, poured into zoning reform would produce countless billions in GDP through boosted productivity, expansion of housing construction,…
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…

Just to be clear: R-CG zoning does not eliminate single family homes. They won't all be torn down and anyone can decide to build one if they want. It's just adding a few additional menu items and leaves all the old favourites. That's it #yyc #yyccc

In Ottawa, Premier Doug Ford announces @ONgov will open a new "regional office" in the capital. It will be staffed by Sean Webster, the defeated @OntarioPCParty candidate who lost last summer's Kanata byelection to the @OntLiberals' Karen McCrimmon. #onpoli
@BriannaWu Progressive leadership needs to start providing practical and impactful solutions to replace the inane, ideological, naive solutions that the campus protests are suggesting. (And the progressive house representatives.
@BriannaWu Political extremism provides emotional payoffs -- the extremist feels righteous and believes their displaced anger is justified. Electoral politics don't make them feel that way, and achievable goals don't either. Actual governance requires things like compromise. They hate it.
@BriannaWu I'm also discouraged about some of the plain wackiness in the far-left space lately. I am very much in favor of reproductive health rights and labor rights and COME ON - Biden is THE ONLY obvious choice in November. An infusion of pragmatic adulting would be useful right now.
I see @MarkJCarney going on TV, saying sensible things about middle class prosperity, housing, and climate. Are we sure he isn’t vying for *my* job?
While @PierrePoilievre was meeting with right wing convoy protesters flying ripped Canadian flags to fight climate action, YOUR Prime Minister was landing the biggest investment in North America for working class Canadians and everyone hoping to see a net-zero future.
Honda just made its largest-ever investment in North America. Right here in Alliston, ON. From the batteries to the frames, they’re building the first full electric vehicle supply chain in Canada. Over a thousand new, good jobs — and more for generations to come.
I follow lots of Canadians on this site, and they know more about the history & geography of the United States than millions of Americans. It's embarrassing.
DAMN!!!!! Good job, JT! Take that slimy pathetic human being down every time you can.
It’s time for this @JustinTrudeau to show up again. Poilievre can’t win against this man. We are fighting for the future of our Canada. I see his father in this video.
It’s been two years since the final province signed onto the federal government’s $10-a-day child-care initiative. Since then, many of the plan’s targets have been surpassed, the report from the Atkinson Centre at the University of Toronto says. globalnews.ca/news/10449624/…
If you’re protesting the killing of innocent civilians, don’t celebrate the killing of innocent civilians. We share a common humanity & must condemn the killing of all innocent civilians, Palestinian & Israeli. Glorifying Oct 7 is unacceptable & does nothing to promote peace.
There are a lot of traditional progressive conservative voters in #Carleton who feel the same. How do I know? Because they are telling me. The good news: we can change this by defeating Pierre Poilievre. #CarletonDeservesBetter #TogetherWeCan
