Like the CPC has been bashing the carbon tax for literal years, Carney puts forward bill C-4 to actually remove the tax, and Poilievre obstructs the bill
Unserious leader. Why would anyone serious want to be in his party?

There's a chance that poilievre
1. Blows a 30 point lead in the polls in the fed election
2. Gets voted out of his own seat, getting dropshipped into a CPC +100 riding
3. Singlehandedly gives the LPC a majority
And STILL wins the leadership vote. There's really no one better in CPCs ranks?

Gotta say, when you live in an apartment building and work from home, and you live a five minute walk from a subway station, it really changes your relationship with winter snowstorms.
I just stand at my window and look out at the city and the snow falling and I say, "That's beautiful, man."

This is fantastic news. We just need to be ready to do the hard work of saying *no* we cannot have a stop on every block. Toronto is lower density than Paris, or Zurich, or Berlin. It should not have a wildly *higher* density of stops.

The Finch West LRT being slower than the bus it's replacing might be my personal Joker moment. The army of people who fought to preserve LRTs in the face of a mountain of dishonesty from multiple parties deserved an honest effort to make them actually operate well. Instead, we get Toronto.

The most infuriating part of this multibillion dollar boondoggle is that none of these outcomes are unexpected. Every single transit advocate has been shouting from the rooftops for years that these issues would happen, and they were all ignored

To put this in explicit terms, as I said sometime ago, Toronto has managed to build a new street railway line which is slower than the bus it’s replacing.
That’s on top of the abandonment of our tram network, which has new trams, but is otherwise falling apart and using antiquated . . . Everything

If you ask the average person why used car prices went vertical in covid, they will answer correctly "because we stopped making new ones"
But when it comes to housing, we have study after study showing the exact same thing, and it still isn't enough to convince the avg person

Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

A lot of people dislike government for a lot of dumb reasons, but one very real reason is that $142M of DESIGN COSTS have been booked for one streetcar line. People feel like they're being scammed out of their tax dollars because they *are*
The estimated budget for the Waterfront East "LRT" (streetcar with tiny tunnelled section) is $2 billion?!?! Subway prices for 4km of streetcar. Glad we'll spend next year's municipal election talking about a made up crime surge.

The enormous progress in reducing global poverty was led by increases in income to a large number of countries all over the world. But to make further progress, we'll need to figure out what to do in the remaining countries that have seen no significant growth for a long time.
