I love this time of year I just wish the days weren't getting so short

You can have a second plate after everyone has a first, should be applied to housing and healthcare

Hot take: Cities are fun and safe

No new federal funding for transit - this is not acceptable

OpenAI lost $12 billion in three months. They're seeking $1.4 trillion in loan guarantees from the US government. Nvidia market cap is now 10% of US GDP. The AI bubble has grown so large that it's going to cause another major financial crisis when it implodes.

It's a small graphic design detail, but the loitering guy on TTC signage is actually in front of the red slash, casually leaning against it, making him look *unbelievably* cool.

It was so windy in the UK last week, that my provider gave us 3hrs electric for free. Turned everything on and got 10kwh for free.

Renewables will set you free.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Grim news for Kamloops Lake

The police are defunding our cities

Gutting the planning and sustainability depts and freezing the permitting dept - wtf.

Those jobs are the fulcrum for our development, innovation, and int’l reputation.

“Back to basics” just means going backward.

Even our more dysfunctional past councils didn’t try to pull this #%^.

The amazing folks at the WSDOT Active Transportation Division have released their 'quick build guide' - which includes at least a dozen quick-build projects as case studies across Washington State. This is great reading for sickos and local governments alike!

Where is the party for non-market housing? For breaking up the monopolies gouging us every day? For land back and true reconciliation?

The affordability crisis is also a political crisis. If you're not willing to scapegoat a minority (immigrants currently) then the only other choice is to be antagonistic to the capitalist class that is actually causing the crisis. If the NDP is not willing to do this it has little reason to exist.

Frankly this just sounds like more of the same failed strategy. People are sick of politicians "hearing them" and repeating the things we already know are happening back at us. It's patronizing.

Mamdani won because he presented clear solutions to the problems, including redistribution of wealth.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

What else could Vancouver have done to address the root causes of safety and mental illness with $300 million a year?

It’s Easy to Hate Traffic Cameras. But They Do Save Lives. They raise issues of fairness, and critics claim they’re only about revenue. More speed and red-light cameras, however, would prevent a lot of deaths and injuries.

The data is clear: Intersection and speed cameras save lives, and more people die when they are removed: www.governing.com/transportati...

Capping the amount of electricity available for AI and data centres (let's be honest, it's crypto mining) is something I definitely support.

New electricity transmission lines all day every day over new pipelines.

In April 1945, 43 Canadians died wrestling Groningen, the town in which Pete Hoekstra was born, from the German army and Belgian and Dutch SS troops.

“Everybody wants 30 km/h on their street — but they also want to drive 50 on someone else’s. What’s safe for us is inconvenient for others,” It was great to sit down with Peter Ladner at BCCC to talk Active Transportation grants, speed limits, and inevitable "bikelash".
