Deviant pedestrian. I’m bullish on cities, opposed to fascism and write editorials for The Globe and Mail. Never 51. @moore_oliver at the other place, which I've mostly left. Will try to respond via omoore@globeandmail.ca. Header pic by Mervyn Sequeira

“Unhappy drivers should remember that choosing to exceed the speed limit is, in fact, illegal, and that there’s an easy hack to avoid getting a ticket: lighten up on that right foot.”

“even cautious driver friends shared stories of piles of tickets they have received through the red-light and speed-camera systems” 🧐

I guess you could make a condo/apt smaller and cheaper by removing the kitchen. But eating out is more expensive than cooking. So I doubt the math works

Gut instinct is that Ottawa is looking for a way to let Toronto skate here. The statement the feds will “make no compromises … on the level of ambition” leaves plenty of room to fiddle with the deal

Here are some of my conclusions ( #Toronto, for Ford-related reasons, isn't in the running...)

Montreal’s urbanism keeps finding new ways to make every other city in Canada look like a piker
21.07.2025 16:08 — 👍 17 🔁 4 💬 1 📌 0I think this rather misses the point. Canadians are not boycotting the United States because they expect to crash its economy, though some might relish the idea, but because they don’t want to support or frankly have anything to do with the US under Trump
