As the dust settles on Carney’s first budget, it’s become increasingly clear which Canadians he thinks need to make “sacrifices.” Hint: it’s not the ultra-wealthy. In fact, it’s clear why someone who still considers himself a conservative feels at home in this Liberal government:

I mean, sometimes less really is more

A quick explainer on Montreal’s election: The urbanist Projet Montréal party of outgoing mayor Valérie Plante has lost the election to the opposition Ensemble Montréal. Projet deserves a *lot* of credit for Montreal’s transformation in the past 10 or 15 years to be more bike/pedestrian-friendly.

montreal’s new mayor wants to rip up bike lanes and create a more permissive regulatory structure for airbnbs. grim result.

The arrival of Transition Montréal is the only interesting thing about this municipal election “Craig Sauvé has taken the radical approach of envisioning how Montreal might actually develop new transit on its own. Transition is also the only party advocating for a complete ban on Airbnb.” #polmtl

INFRA-MTL : la ruelle Yamaska dans Saint-Henri est un excellent exemple d'un projet moins cher et plus efficace parce qu'il a été fait de A à Z à l'interne par nos Travaux Publics. Oui, c'est possible de faire autrement. #avecCouragePourMontreal 🧡 👷👷‍♀️🛠🌳🌿

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.

The Senate Banking Committee passed its first housing bill in over a decade. It'll boost housing supply and lower costs. Time to get this done. And we must do more — including taking on consolidation in the housing sector and corporate landlords that hike up prices on families.

Microsoft just became the second company to be valued at over $4 trillion. They’ve also fired over 15,000 workers this year. They’ve also spent over $18 billion on stock buybacks over the last year.
