Don’t forget, if you happen to be in Paris any time until mid December, I hope you’ll check out our unique EXHIBITION at Paris City Hall on bold climate action through better city-building! It was great fun and a big honour to collaborate with Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social & her great team on this.

NEW: “Canadian urbanist @brenttoderian.bsky.social teamed up with the city of Paris and, in particular, its mayor, @annehidalgo.bsky.social on a new exhibition that shines a light on cities and global climate action.”

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..." "not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..." "...you're rich. If you have, whatever-" "- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

This feels worth sharing—the event I spoke at this past weekend, #UtopianHours in Torino Italy, was great because it was so different. Different design, energy, tone, speakers, audience etc. We need LOT MORE like it. A FESTIVAL of bold city-making, filled with city-lovers on stage & in the audience.

An illustrated cartoon depicting an hourglass against a black background. The upper bulb is overflowing with piled-up aid supplies, including boxes, bags, bottles, and containers, many marked with red crosses symbolizing medical or humanitarian aid; a cartoon pig's head is visible among the clutter. These items are mostly in shades of gray, white, and blue, funneling downward through the narrow neck. Only a single small box with a red cross is trickling into the lower bulb. The lower bulb contains a crowd of about a dozen dark-skinned people, dressed in simple clothing in earth tones like brown and beige, desperately reaching upward with raised arms and outstretched hands toward the falling box, conveying urgency and need. The hourglass has a blue tint, and a small signature "Carlos" appears in the bottom right.

#SalmonArm housing starts right now reflect ground oriented builds (detached, semi & townhouses), commercial below residential above and apartment units. We need them all & not have sprawl. It's happening!

On D-Day, 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach, supported by the Royal Canadian Navy and the RCAF. The day saw 1,074 Canadian casualties, including 359 killed. It was a watershed moment in human history.
Here are Canadians stories from that day.

📸 LAC PA-132790

🧵1/15
The black-and-white photo shows Canadian soldiers on a landing craft during the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. The soldiers, wearing helmets and military gear, are preparing to disembark as the craft approaches the beach. Two crew members at the rear are marked with "R.C.N." (Royal Canadian Navy) and "L.C.O. 140" on their backs. Waves crash against the boat, and larger ships are visible in the background, indicating the scale of the operation. The atmosphere is tense, capturing a pivotal moment in World War II.

June 3, 1926:
Canadian politician Flora MacDonald was born in North Sydney, Nova Scotia. She served in Parliament from 1972 to 1988 as a Progressive Conservative. She was Canada's first female foreign affairs minister. She also helped organize Canada's first Earth Day celebration.
The photo shows a person with shoulder-length, voluminous blonde hair styled in loose waves. They are wearing a light blue jacket over a white blouse with a subtle pattern, paired with a matching light blue and white scarf tied at the neck. The person is also accessorized with large, round blue earrings. The background is a solid dark blue curtain, giving the image a formal or staged setting, possibly for a portrait or interview.

May 13, 1937:
French-Canadian novelist Roch Carrier was born in Sainte-Justine, Quebec.
Carrier began publishing books in the early-1970s. His most famous work is The Hockey Sweater, which became a famous National Film Board animated short. A quote from that book was printed on the Canadian $5 bill. Two schools are named for him, and he has been awarded the Order of Canada.

Happy #NationalNursesWeek
A sincere thank you to all of the amazing nurses across the province and the country 🙏 Your dedication to the people in your community is truly commendable and we honour your service, this week and every week.
#BCNDP #BCpoli #Canadastrong
A cheerful cartoon nurse in scrubs and a nurse's cap holding a clipboard, set against a pink and purple floral background. The text reads: "Happy National Nurses Week, May 12–18." MLA Sandhu, a young nursing student, in uniform lights a ceremonial candle during a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony, guided by another woman in a yellow scarf. A photo of Florence Nightingale adorned with flowers is visible in the foreground, symbolizing the legacy of nursing. A large group of BC Nurses' Union members gathered on the steps of the BC Legislature, holding signs and banners advocating for better healthcare and nursing conditions. Many hold pink umbrellas and wear union attire, with banners reading “BC Nurses’ Union – Standing up for health care.” A healthcare worker wearing a red surgical cap, clear protective goggles, and a blue surgical mask, shown from the shoulders up in a clinical setting. Only the eyes and upper face are visible.
