Got to keep that tent as small as possible. If the left wing of the Liberals is unacceptable, then the NDP have no hope of appealing to the 90% of Canadians less lefty than them nationalpost.com/news/canada/...

houseboat guy after he listened to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald":

I'm completely fine with a lifetime driving ban for anyone who's danger driving kills a person. If anything there is not enough accountability in Canada for dangerous drivers.

The Libs big "infrastructure budget" will increase infra spending by less than one-fifth the increase in OAS by 2029!

If after 8 years the government couldn't even put down in writing what a feminist foreign policy entailed, did we ever really have one?

I do wish that left thought leaders could more resist the urge to problematize letting-people-build-housing-with-their-own-money

Kitchener Ontario used to be Berlin. It should be the biggest Berlin

The real galaxy brain Canada is to make London Ontario the biggest London, but Canadians are afraid to dream big

The three days or so provinces loosening inter-provincial trade barriers were nice while they lasted news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...

If you asked Ukraine what would offer them more protection, they'd choose the fighter jets 100 times out of 100

I don't think OneCity is losing any sleep over a guy that NIMBY'd an apartment building because he was jealous about the size of his deck not running for them

Bond has had 6 different faces, gone on missions that go from the 1960s to the present day. You can just jettison the highly serialized format of the Craig era. Nobody is going to bat an eye if some other suave Brit shows up in the next movie calling himself Bond, James Bond

Shame on the courts for allowing an active biohazard situation to drag out for *11 months*, and shame on the BC government for allowing them to do so.

At last the stupidest story in Canada is coming to an end www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I don't see how you can square "Canadians are going to have to make generational sacrifices" with "here's a pot of money for trying to get into Eurovision!"

Jacobin not understanding compound interest explains so much

Interesting that many of the people who are normally apoplectic at the mere suggestions that the Notwithstanding Clause might be used are conspicuously silent today as a bunch of premiers and MPs call for the federal government to use it

127 Hours but its just a French dude nonchalantly sipping wine

Cool, can't wait for this to spread while farmers spend a year litigating bird culls www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Hear me out, what if instead we bridged the Saanich inlet or put a tunnel under the Malahat? In addition of course to building rail transit

I'm partial to long Manhattan

A future of 100 million torontonians still waiting for the Eglinton Crosstown to finally open

This sort of thing is absolutely going to happen in Vancouver after The Big One and it will be miserable.

"Chris Evans, who owns the property adjacent to Beedie’s site, told the board that he just finished construction of the Keefer House hotel on his land. Evans said he was 100 per cent supportive of Beedie’s condo project."

Between this and the Ottawa LRT, have we considered that Ontario has angered the transit gods and has been cursed by them?

Gonna be a real downer here and argue that Canadian Governments are, in fact, a problem in many fields and the easiest place to see this is to look at how long it takes to build an apartment wherever you live

Many people are saying that Star Wars needs to do a waring states period

Honestly the most Canadian thing will be some Canadians doing NoKings protests this weekend in Canada. we just can’t help trying to import US political discourse to Canada

Gregor Robertson continues to under perform my already low expectations of him nationalnewswatch.com/2025/10/14/h...

I did not know this exists but I'm 100% intent on getting this

Constituionalizing policy choices is a genuinely insane way to govern a state or country.

The unsympathetic nature of Chip and the over the top rhetoric aside, I don't think a citizen in a democracy should be fined for expressing their own political views via a sign on their own residential property

We used to be a proper country

Breaking up the massing's final boss

As a former combat arms guy, I saw this and I laughed. Then my back laughed. Then my knees laughed. So funny.

The real danger lies not in the growing size of today’s deficit, but in failing to plan prudently for what comes next. My latest for @TheHubCanada on federal finances: thehub.ca/2025/10/01/... #cdnecon #cdnpoli

“According to the paper, 15 people accounted for 1,335 police files in Kelowna in 2024, an average of 89 each and a negative contact with the RCMP every four days.” www.kelownanow.com/watercooler/...

dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc... Describing upzoning and filtering as “trickle down” economics while calling price controls a viable solution displays a level of policy ignorance or willful blindness on housing that I hoped we had put behind us here in BC.

The average Canadian leftist believes they are an American living in the year 2024. The only obstacle to the resolution of every social and economic ill is a willingness to tax billionaires and strip the military budget, and direct the presumed-to-be-infinite income to their favourite non-profits.

And I thought Ford's 401 tunnel was a stretch as a "nation building project" but that's nothing compared to using that to describe not having to walk down the block to pick up the 3 non-junk mail letters that show up every month.

Would anyone miss having to toss out a mailbox full of flyers and junk mail daily instead of twice a week?

Folks, the delivery of junk mail to your door does not a nation make

I'll believe the UBCM delegates are sincere about this when they remove all the barriers to housing in their own municipalities. A right to housing necessarily requires a right to build housing. Anything else is empty symbolism.

Like if you take seriously the idea that this is about dangerous infectious diseases that are a serious threat to both the ecosystem and agriculture then it’s not something that ought to be postponed for a year while the Supreme Debate Club ponders their feelings about it

A lot of politics of this era is breaking ancient truces and assuming that the other-side won't fight back

You can take my Tylenol from my cold, train obsessed hands

This is one of those cases where the scandal is saying out loud what everyone already knows. In addition to saying its all about Quebec, the minister also admits that he knows licensed legal gun owners aren't the problem and that the program is misdirected

Where is a reason it's called Strong Towns, not Strong Cities Marohn's approach is completely insufficient to dealing with the problems of growing, high demand cities

This is why the Charles Marohn, "gentle density" approach is bullshit and doomed to failure. The NIMBYs will tell you that they just want gradual densification, *but they are lying to you!*
