If the Rogers Centre had a parking lot that covered the same surface area as the Dodgers' parking lot, it would stretch from Queen Street on one end to the Lake Ontario waterfront on the other

Doug Ford’s Ontario Govt plan to ban bike lanes “is ripped from the business lobby’s wish list…Ford’s war on bikes is more than a vendetta—it’s a gift to corporate lobbyists.”

It’ll make Ontario’s cities weaker, less competitive, more polluted, & more dangerous for everyone. AND the traffic worse.

Ontario’s plan to ban bike lanes is ripped from the business lobby’s wish list ⋆ The Breach

Buried in a new omnibus bill, the latest salvo in Doug Ford’s war on bikes is more than a vendetta—it’s a gift to corporate lobbyists

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover.

Current situation in left-hand column, proposal on the right:

Left column:

Under the RTA, all tenants have "security of tenure", which means
that tenants have a right to remain in their rental unit as long as they
follow the lease agreement and the RTA. Landlords cannot evict
tenants without a legally valid reason, and after a fixed-term lease
ends, the tenancy typically continues on a month-to-month basis.

Right column:

The government would consult on alternative options on lease agreement expiry that could allow landlords to control who occupies their units and for how long, allowing them to adjust tenancy arrangements based on market conditions, personal needs, or business strategies. This could add flexibility for some landlords in the approach to leases, potentially unlocking additional rental unit stock.

Ok I'll listen. Lucas was obsessed. Is that being a jerk or mentally unhealthy? Perhaps both.

Tips on what to do during a stress leave:
1. Ask for tips on what to do.
2. Book all the healthcare appointments you've skipped.
Note: I'm on stress leave for a few weeks due to burnout, grief, too much.

I didn't know this. So I saw the original in a theatre in Ontario, before it exploded. Would that have been the o.g. o.g.?

Landlords. Big corporate landlords and little one using housing of others to make money. Because some of us renters are mercifully paying below market rent. Units in my apartment building are going for 100% more than I pay. In 2021, ours matched the market
