Great article on the bottlenecks to building better apartments in Canada. If you ask a random Canadian on the street they will tell you they want shorter high-rises, taller low-rises, and more livable apartments with cross-ventilation. Yet politicians and policymakers force the opposite.

Look at this guy. He's all over BC media defending BC cops accused of sexual assault.

With leaders like Lucy at City Council, we can fight back - and we can win.

Vote Lucy Maloney on April 5.

We need leaders who are ready to stand up and fight back. That’s why I’m running with @onecityvan.bsky.social for City Council. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGcI...
