If developers always build up to the maximum (density, height, etc.) that’s allowed in your city, that’s a sign that your zoning rules are substantially restricting housing supply.

Oh, and here's the recipe. I had the spices premixed, so it was easier for me. butfirstchai.com/kaak-el-eid-...

Hey! Maybe the federal government needs to invest more in improving alternatives (like public transit) so that even more Canadians can hop on frequent and reliable buses and trains 👀

I've set up my news rss reader after being off news for a while. I found this website which aggrigates independent Canadian news stories: www.unrigged.ca

Editorial boards have supported Canada’s war and regime change efforts since the First World War 98 per cent of the time. www.readthemaple.com/newspaper-wa...

I still maintain the need for "free" public transit as part of public infrastructure, but I'd rather see it be faster and more reliable. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0L4g...

GO trains in ‘poor’ condition and could ‘begin to fail’ in 2026, says leaked report: Metrolinx still trying to replace expertise lost after ending Deutsche Bahn contract, according to internal fleet strategy draft www.cambridgetoday.ca/local-news/g...

Transport Canada has a survey on headlights! You know I hate how bright they have gotten. Go fill it out? www.surveymonkey.ca/r/F9WBTLZ?fb...

There is also a Petition right now in the House of Commons for better regulating headlights! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

And they're done 🤤 #cookies

Making ma'amoul معمول, the only way I'm celebrating #Ramadan and #Eid

meanwhile, transit agencies across the country are on the brink of running out of funding (as usual). but yes, we need another tax break on the driving class and to help shield the more-evil governing party from the consequences of their own imperialism and warmongering

This just in, biking is growing as a revenue source *far* faster than parking. 30% growth in revenue for bike share vs only 5% for parking. It's growth is also consistently underestimated in forecasts vs parking which is overestimated.

Councillor Anthony Perruzza wants the city to open and operate four grocery stores, one in each community council district, with priority given to neighbourhoods with limited access to grocery stores and lower household incomes. The goal would be to sell food at the lowest price possible.

This shows that Canada was never serious about stopping the flow of weapons to israel. globalnews.ca/news/1172654... #canada #palestine

Help me understand how it's considered democratic for an elected MP to cross party affiliations when the people who voted for that MP voted for them mainly because they were of that party? Like I think if an MP wants to change party affiliation they should just have a byelection with the new party

The Canadian forests have not been a net sink of CO2 for a while now. This has become pretty obvious with the severity of forest fires the last few years. They are burning faster than they are growing. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

University of Waterloo student strike today, protesting with students across Ontario to OSAP cuts! Begging all of u, especially non-students, to write/contact ur MPP, Post-Sec Minister Nolan Quinn, & Premier Ford.

Under the shadow of the Iran war, Israel finds another way to punish Gaza The curbing of NGO operations and the blocking of aid due to closure of the border crossings are meant as another collective punishment. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

The City of Toronto approved six-storey units on major roads. But bureaucracy is still killing these projects. I was so mad about this article, I had to rant about it. I can't believe councillors are still fighting for "neighbourhood character" in 2026. www.thestar.com/news...

Thanks for the delivery @seebo429.bsky.social!

The administration that rapes schoolgirls with impunity has no problems with bombing them either.

A planned change to Amazon means that if people buy items on your wishlist, it could expose your address. Definitely a threat to people who have public wishlists. www.404media.co/amazon-wishl...

⚠️ Heads up, ESPECIALLY to sex workers and activists: Amazon is changing their public wishlist terms. Your address will soon be visible to gift purchasers in certain circumstances.

hi. one of the biggest misconceptions about disabled people, especially wheelchair users who need support, is the idea that we are not hygienic or clean because we need support. This is a big reason why a lot of people won't date or engage in intimacy with us, and it is entirely a falsity. kthxbye

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

ION is good, and it could be better. Here's how.

I captured the #sunset from the top of the hill, from mirador el cerro de la cruz in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico.

I pretend I'm ok, but the past few years of ongoing* genocide in Gaza have changed me in ways some of which I'm yet to discover. *the news have faded but israel is still killing Palestinians in Gaza and the rest of Palestine at a slightly slower but steady rate. #freePalestine

in a lot of disability posts, disabled people (me too!) have said stuff like "I don't want a cure for disability, I want a cure for ableism". But you know what, there are some chronic illnesses and disabilities that are debilitating, and if you need or want a cure, I'm right there for you.

Sometimes dildos aren't for self pleasure but for breaking the ice without breaking the bank! This is where TPE and low cost PVC dildos really shine! Just be sure to dispose of them properly. Be safe!

Toronto cops get busted for running drugs, murder-for-hire, theft & data leaks and STILL ask for a $93.8 million dollar budget increase with their whole chest.

Israel continues systematically contaminating the planet

When you never show up to pride and underfund every city service but it’s ok because you’ve declared a Shane Hollander day 😍😍

NEW COLUMN: ICE is brutalizing Minnesota, and they’re doing it with the help of military equipment sold by Canadian companies. www.jakelandau.ca/p/how-canada...

As masked agents increase their violence south of the border - including killing ICU nurse Alex Pretti yesterday - it's easy to feel powerless. But here’s something we all can do. ICE agents are patrolling in vehicles made in Canada. If you're sick of the horrifying videos, contact your MP. 1/2

Israel has begun bulldozing the headquarters of UNRWA in occupied East Jerusalem. The far-right government led by Netanyahu has been clamping down heavily on humanitarian groups that provide desperately needed aid to Palestinians in Gaza:
