SVP prendre 2 mins et signer la lettre. En pleine crise du logement avec une population vieillissante, c'est impensable de laisser des gens bien logés bloquer la construction d'une RPA. Partagez à votre entourage!

Signez cette lettre d'appui à un projet de RPA dans Ahuntsic-Cartierville. Dites à Maude Théroux-Séguin, mairesse d'Ahuntsic-Cartierville, d'invoquer la loi 31 pour que ce projet avance.

The history of Canadian regulation, in four lines. Regulation-wise, I'm sorry to inform you folks that we amhave already become the 51st State. And we did it the way Trump wanted it: under economic coercion of the sort.
More similar to the US codes than any other country unfortunately, though the plumbing code are slightly better in some ways.

No this isnt what I mean! I actually think public money should be spent on increasing supply, NOT on buying private housing and making it subsidized. The former helps everyone in all income brackets (especially poorer folks) while the second pne *only* helps the lucky few who get the bought

Yes, of course McDonald’s posting about National Coming Out Day is “performative.” Nobody thinks Ronald McDonald threw the first brick at Stonewall. Nonetheless, the biggest and most influential institutions in American life performing affirmation of LGBT social and civil equality is a good thing.
I think the only way they make you lazy is that they make it easier to stay on system 1 (reflex-like thinking) whereas before you didnt have a choice to often go to system 2 (slow methodical thinking). I too observe that they tend to make you work more, not less
saying that LLMs makes you lazy is mostly incorrect, and ignores one of the actually harmful things about them: it means that as long as you're still capable of talking, you're capable of working. you can overwork yourself in ways that were never remotely possible before

Seriously. I see so many people on Twitter saying that they don't want multiplexes because they don't want so much immigration, and I can't help wondering if they noticed over the past bunch of years how a lack of housing never stopped immigration. It just forced the poorest into worse conditions.

Grosse perte pour la ville avec probablement les meilleures politiques pro-construction au Canada. La première ministre de l'Alberta nous rappelle que pas tous les conservateurs croient à l'offre et la demande comme levier essentiel pour combattre la crise du logement.
AB Premier Danielle Smith announces the province is forcing Edmonton to reverse its infill housing rules, because why would you want an example of market-driving housing affordability in your small-government province? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjx2...

Christ. "Conservatism" now means overruling local government, imposing regulations, and restricting property rights. What a f'ing joke.
Conservative government of Alberta is preempting Edmonton, requiring the city to: —Reverse the city's 2024 change allowing small-scale apartment buildings to be built citywide. Change resulted in a building boom: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... —Restore parking requirements, which city eliminated in 2020

Quebec’s election saw one of the most distorted election results in Canadian history: the PQ won 46% of seats with 28% vote, while the CAQ got zero seats with over 500,000 votes. Read our write-up to see how proportional representation fixes this. www.fairvote.ca/06/10/2026/p...

If the PQ wins tonight, hopefully they’ll follow through on their promise to enact electoral reform. Unlike the CAQ in Quebec before and Justin Trudeau federally, who both abandoned their promises.

Je ne peux pas être plus d'accord avec ce texte. Si nos décideurs ont peur de prendre des risques, c'est qu'on est trop durs envers l'échec. Il faut célébrer les erreurs au lieu d'interdire celles-ci. Le prix qu'on paie est que l'innovation devient impossible. www.lapresse.ca/dialogue/opi...
Interesting take, id love to see this studied
Unpopular opinion: LLMs are generally deradicalizing people whose beliefs are based on pure propaganda. I've been watching this happen slowly with some people I care about. ChatGPT is one of the reasons they finally accept that the NRA, OAN, and NewsMax are lying to them.

I really don't understand America's culture of forcing service workers to be on their feet all day.
TSA says it is removing chairs at document checks in airports, requiring staff to stand for their shift. TSA explained the reason as twofold: to ensure its employees meet its fitness standards and to create an amiable environment for travelers.

Devant l'argument qu'un registre des loyers pourrait décourager la construction, j'aime répondre qu'il réduirait aussi l'opposition citoyenne à la densification et que ça serait une source de données super fiable pour étudier les dynamiques économiques du logement.
Un registre québécois des loyers, c'est une des propositions de Construisons Montréal.

I will never get over the absurd arguments people made regarding aesthetics and neighbourhoods to oppose the REM de l’Est. And how cancelling it did not bring about some hypothetical better project. The east end is languishing in long commutes and uncertainty more than four years later.
Montreal rejected a REM expansion project because it would have put elevated trains on this road. After seeing it in person, this road is an abomination and would be greatly improved by elevated trains down the middle.

En associant le logement subventionné comme SEULE solution à l'abordabilité du logement, l'Ordre des urbanistes rejette le rôle du zonage dans la crise du logement. Puisque l'Ordre vise une densité "idéale", elle contribue à la rareté des logements et donc à l'augmentation du prix des logements.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
"Out of spite for President Donald Trump, Carney is accelerating the decoupling of a trade bloc that has generated enormous prosperity for North America." Seriously, Wapo editorial - you're going with Canadian spite? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
