I see children walking to school or to bus stops on roads without sidewalks.
Using wide crosswalks with known serious safety issues.

The best way to support children walking & cycling to and from school is by supporting them with the essential safety they require
But this looks like a great program

A series of graphs from an October 2, 2025 report titled "House Price Assessment – Update" published by the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The figure has 12 panels each showing affordable and average house prices at a monthly frequency from January 2015 to August 2025 in CMAs and in Canada (national level). In each panel, the y-axis represents house prices and the x-axis represents the month. From 2015 to 2020, affordable house prices remain relatively flat or rise gradually in all jurisdictions. Affordable prices then fall sharply in 2022 but begin to recover steadily in 2024 and 2025. Trends in average house prices diverge across different CMAs: In Edmonton and Winnipeg, house prices remain relatively close to affordable levels from 2015 to 2025. In Calgary, Halifax, Montréal and Québec, average prices rise above affordable levels between 2020 and 2022 and remain persistently higher afterwards. In Hamilton, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria and Canada (national), average prices follow an increasing trend and rise above affordable prices. Average prices peak in early 2022 before falling slightly but stabilizing above affordable prices.

the affordability gaps, graphed:

Halifax house prices much higher on average than what households can afford: report | CBC News A recent report found that house prices in Halifax are, on average, 74 per cent higher than what the typical household can afford.

"Out of the 11 Canadian cities studied by the report, Halifax has the widest gap between house prices and what the typical household could afford."

The country’s economic situation is fraught. America has promised to help prop up the peso, but details of a bail-out are scant—even Republicans are questioning it econ.st/48nT3mf

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers. Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

@evanhill · 11m Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world
