Thank goodness they approved it. If look at who benefits, it's worth a compromise on aesthetics if someone dislikes multifamily.

Why isn't Mr. PG and Goats on the Roof an opening bracket?

Congratulations, your work is consistently interesting, engaging, and worth paying attention to.

The total number between Biden and Trump are roughly similar, the disparity is with the Supreme Court.

Around Cache Creek it might work well.

My neck of the woods, well. Not so much.

I remember a map in the Economist, and Vancouver Island is about the worst place in the world for solar. It's still more clean power in the end, so it's not a waste. But industrial scale = Cache Creek imo.

I have to admit, "'Hidden gem' is a shrug in article form" is a hell of a good line.

The Beaverton is off, we share a land border with Denmark.

Oh Justin, you just weren't made for these times.

"You shot her horse?!?"

I prefer untangling Gordian knots. :)

Honestly wish we'd have some sort of system for regional associations or UBCM to rank our top 3 resolutions, and then present the results. Having too many asks allows the province to do what they always wanted, then point to whatever resolution they wish.

Somehow I thought you'd pass a bylaw banning the phrase "hidden gem."

Grok really stepped in it this time.

Those in the West who believe peace can be secured by surrendering Ukraine to Russia fundamentally misunderstand the hierarchy in Putin’s thinking: the destruction of Ukraine is a tactical objective, not the strategic aim of his war. 8/9

The quota is designed to protect the domestic market. There's no way to compete with the price point Chinese manufacturers can offer (15 k ish). Also, it's a shield to American reactionary policy and southern Ontario outrage.
Means test, it's a different market of consumers who can't afford a priori

We should treat them like eggs and dairy.

Quota for a set amount, and then means test distribution to ensure there's no competition with the existing market. Knocking 15 to 20 thousand off the price of a new car for young families would be good politically and economically.

Technically he was included as a control in many polls since no one would vote for...oh God.

It's the largest sector in Canada as well.

If this was posted on X instead of this site, you know that Jamil Jivani would quote it verbatim if Ford ever made a run to lead the Conservatives.

So what happens if a more centrist Conservative was the leader? What if O'Toole, for example, had a second chance? I'm not sure the lead up would have been as strong for Conservatives, but then maybe Trudeau doesn't leave? Forgive me, but I think you could make a case that Poilievre lost it.

Fascinating hypothetical #12736

The Conservatives won the popular vote in the previous federal election, but failed to do so yesterday.

They lost a ton of seats in 2021 because of the efficiency of the Liberal vote, yet in this election they gained seats owing to weakness of NDP incumbents.

Chorus: Speak of Trump, not like him be.
Petros: Tell me a tale, o muse, of the teenage athlete of many genders.

Jill Atkey et al are genuinely the best people in the province on the non-market housing file.

Net emissions matters, but emissions relative to GDP and emissions relative to population also matter.

Leaving aside the difficulty of measuring emissions from our forests (fires, pine beetle, etc.), BC is doing ok when you consider most jurisdictions are mostly reducing emissions from coal plants.

I've always wanted to do a trip through Italy guided by "Lives of the Artists" by Vasari.

A trip through Greece reading through Plutarch and Herodotus would be a hyper nerdy blast.

"Whereas Tesla's vehicles spontaneously combust with a frequency that is somewhere between that of a Ford Pinto and a drummer in Spinal Tap..."

And Bob and Doug did say, "See, I'm nodding my head, eh? It's the most sacred thing I can do to let you know we want those hosers to take off."
