oh yes! That would work. I'll see if there are any Canadian suppliers. Thank you!

the location is near the gas meter/piping so I think their concern is being able to remove the entire rack if necessary

I have bikes-on-the-brain (TY @devanmarr.bsky.social for the bike lane appeal coverage) and need the bluesky cyclist hivemind. My condo building is replacing a broken bike rack with an equally useless rack (pictured). Suggestions for a space-constrained outdoor location? can't do posts unfortunately

The (Toronto) kids are alright

congrats!! 🎉

Right?! Archives can be so fun

A dear friend of mine (not on the socials) is researching Monsanto and found these GEMS in the archives. “They’re lean, hungry-looking bodysweaters. Pure skin stuff.” 💀

Great example of a non-land use form of option value. I value the option to *think about going to a cool kid cocktail place down the street but then ultimately rot on my couch with the dog and cat

@englishrail.bsky.social and I have a piece in the Globe & Mail about how Canada can make housing more affordable and accessible, and disentangle itself from its unreliable and hostile southern neighbor: give its elevator industry the option to use the European/global standard, not just the U.S. one

Apple Music. I’ll send to you!

Also shout-out to can-con and 90s much music 🤗❤️

I lived in the states for 10 years. Every Canada Day I would subject my friends to can-con music. “Do you know this song? No?? How do you not know this!?” It was very annoying for them. I finally put it all together in a playlist. It’s 8hrs long 🇨🇦

Toronto’s urban tree canopy is no joke

Even today’s NYTs crossword allows for ADUs

Update: vote needed 2/3 majority but received only 57%. Opposing side started a whisper campaign against a vocal supporter claiming he was a secret developer 😞. No ADUs in Arlington for now.

This is super helpful. Thanks Michael!

Thank you Payton!!
