By proceeding with purchasing a jet ski before seeking approval from my spouse, I forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."

"Cities should remain museum pieces for incumbents and any newcomer is strictly a burden" is the most loser mindset that powers the most loser politics in America today.

During the first intermission, a talking head was talking about how during the summer, one Sen was always in the gym and on the ice and I missed who that was, Cozins? Zub? It's not something I've yet heard.

Financially productive land isn't just found in downtown #OttCity.

Transit can act as a wealth accelerator and increases the productivity of nearby properties. Here
@strongtownsottawa.ca
shows how today's highest productive land still remains generally aligned with 1929 streetcar routes.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer dance parties.

Two people struck crossing Calgary roads; one incident leaves victim in critical condition Two more people have been taken to hospital after getting hit while crossing Calgary roads in separate incidents across the city.

Politicians like to bleat on and on about getting tough on crime.

But not crimes committed with cars.

Those aren't crimes to them. They're the cost of doing business in a car dependent city. #yyccc

Don't expect anyone to care when you are the next victim. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Hitting go on Lansdowne 2.0: Key details from the city's final report | CBC News The final reports about updating Ottawa's Lansdowne Park have been made public. Here's what they say about the cost, the financing, the contractors and more.

The math on Lansdowne 2.0 is all lies and gimmicks.

Like, $6 million from raising the hotel tax. That doesn't actually have anything to do with Lansdowne.

Say we raised property taxes 2% and just said it all goes to Lansdowne 2.0, is that Lansdowne 2.0 paying for itself? Of course not. 🧡

I don’t know what the right number is, but I do know that something needs to be invested. But I also know that we have a housing crisis that we under fund, we have transit that’s under funded, we have an $11 billion infrastructure gap, we have Crumbling, social infrastructure across the city. 6/

Lansdowne 2.0 risks giving residents less for more: higher ticket prices, a smaller arena, and higher debt. Similar promises in Lansdowne 1.0 fell short. This round is off to a bad start, and I’m calling on the Mayor to delay the vote until later in November.
