I love how this article describes coop housing as the condo’s cousin! It’s so clear and simple.

I keep hearing people being unsure of what coop housing is and describing it as social housing. There seems to be a lot of confusion and misconceptions.

This article has everything: a history of coop housing in Ontario, lesbian romance, mutual aid, a wedding that involved singing The Power of Two by the Indigo Girls. Great read.

New study from Melbourne finds reducing residential speed limits from 50km/h to 30 km/h on local roads would protect cyclists from danger, make riding less stressful and get more people cycling while not causing traffic delays for cars.

I can’t think of a single celebrity podcast I’ve listened to- I know other people must listen to them but I feel like there must be other people with no interest in listing to celebrities just because.

I think the broadcast experience really stands out, the podcasts without it are very obvious.

The recent US emphasis on killing the Canadian car industry seems like they’re okay with us buying cars from other countries.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Way back in 2003 track 2 of their album “Blackout” was “Worker’s Song.”

I’d be lying if I said they didn’t have some influence on young Jim’s political views. I was pretty stoked when I got to see them live after years of being a fan.

Maybe it will be means tested? In that their program will only serve children whose families can prove a blood connection to the oil and gas industry.

Tell me the Nobel committee isn't deliberately sticking it to Shtrumpf.

This gives me a new appreciation for Rockstar’s inclusion of the KKK as thoroughly inept minor antagonists in RDR2.

Thinking more on it, that would be a really bold game to make now with such political messages as it had.

Please everyone buy my latest book which is all about this problem and how we can fix it. It has, of course, been ignored by the mainstream press.

Meanwhile in Toronto

-buy durable clothes made from ethical and sustainable fibres instead of fast fashion brands

Show a person some numbers, make them think for a day. Get a person to educate themselves on Saskatchewan’s ridiculous political financing laws, maybe they can stop being an idiot.

But realistically, limited on digits, and internet search exists.

Once again, speed cameras work.
(This is data from Ottawa, published in 2024.)

This correlates with my experience of going to Scotland and driving in a city with a 20 MPH speed limit just one time.

Not the running for office part though.

Keep it coming. I know there’s no shame in this government, but maybe there will be enough outrage for Ford to reverse on this.

“No more losing,” says expert winner who recently won a seat in parliament after losing the federal election and his own seat.

Fascists do love consuming cruelty as spectacle. Ive seen it so often in India, where people I know delight in sharing and reading and watching images and videos that enact violence and cruelty on the bodies of those they deem the other.
I am always shocked by it, always.

The annoying thing is that data backs up the bigger is safer idea.

Not because they’re legitimately safer, but just because they’re relatively safer when the large size vehicles of all the other drivers out there are taken into account.

It’s arms race logic.

I would absolutely trust EU regs more.

I was looking into how to avoid storing data out of the US and a friend who knows a lot more than I do advised me to just keep looking outside of Canada.

That was before Bill C-2 came around.

Moe’s gotta have a tough time keeping straight which days he’s all about provincial sovereignty and keeping the feds out of provincial business and which days he thinks the feds have a right to do whatever they want.

Don’t forget to check how much the Sask Party is funded by Alberta oil companies.
