Ottawa, Canada’s capital & 4th largest city (1.1 m residents) just passed a substantial zoning reform that: —Allows 4-unit buildings on lots citywide —Increases allowed heights to 6 or 9 stories (& up to 30) on major transit corridors —Eliminates most parking requirements —Allows home based retail

American consumers, how would you like to pay twice the amount for Canadian products because Canada made a trade deal with China? Sounds like a reasonable response.

It's time for countries to TRULY hit back! Counter tariffs HAVE to be applied! Without countries standing up for themselves every time tariffs are threatened, Trump will use this as a weapon for EVERY. SINGLE. THING. he wants! #boycottusa #europe #Denmark #Greenland #nato

I believe it's time for Canada, Europe and allies to prepare impactful sanctions and or tariffs to put on the USA if/when they make a move on an ally. Make it very clear we won't stand for this imperialistic behaviour.

Shocker.

It's been 131 days since Trump threatened Putin with a 50-day deadline. Instead, he wants Ukraine to sign a deal that hands over, currently controlled, territory to Russia.

With the impending removal of speed cameras, Doug Ford is moving Ontario laws in line with American ways of thinking when we should be moving towards European ways of thinking. He talks a big game against Trump, but at the end of the day, he's not that different.

Urbanists! I am reading conflicting things within urbanism communities. Some argue that increasing property value is a benefit when arguing for certain infrastructure projects. On the flip side, I also read that rising property values is what drives out certain demographics. Is there a balance?

After claiming for months tariffs are paid by the country of origin, it looks as though Trump has quietly acknowledged that it is indeed the American importing companies who pay, and now the government has to provide financial aid to said companies. So much for money flowing into US coffers.

The first death to occur in an area where a speed camera once stood will be on Doug Ford's hands. Ontario deserves better.

Donald Trump demands that other countries invest in factories in the US. Once they do, ICE will arrest all of them. Sounds like a great, safe investment. #economy #politics #hyundai #southkorea

Montreal’s multitudinous successes in pedestrianization are more than enough evidence to Ottawa to embark on its examples of what can happen when we transform our streets into places for people. 1/

The likelihood of the EU, Japan, and other countries that have agreed to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the US is slim to none. Does Trump really believe they will, or he just wanted a headline? If he truly believes it, the other leaders are laughing now.

You know the world has dramatically been altered when I, as a Canadian, am hoping for China to prevail over USA in this trade war. #tariffs #tariffwar #Trump #Xi

I just wrapped the weekend at a '55+ Lifetsyle' trade show. I was representing tourism to Prince Edward County, and every single person I spoke with said they were doing everything in their power to boycott travel to USA. It was really something to listen to each person speak with such conviction.

The people of Utah will soon have fewer teeth than wives. #USpolitics #fluoride #health #dentalcare #Republicans

What's that? Importing goods tariff-free helps to lower the cost of goods for consumers? What a novel idea. #politics #Trump #economics #uspoli #trade

Imagine how berserk Conservatives would be if any Liberal leader announced on public TV to start buying shares in the company of a pal of the prime minister. Yet, many Conservatives probably see nothing wrong with Howard Lutnick's desperate media outing. #TeslaTakedown #boycotttesla #TSLA #cdnpoli

Seems like Canada's angry with Mr. Musk. #teslatakedown #tesla ##boycotttesla

#Tesla has been booted from the upcoming #Vancouver auto show. This show attracts 100,000 people annually. #Teslatakedown #boycotttesla

This is perhaps the scariest article I've read this year. I mean, we can all see it coming, but this article is fucking sobering. At the current rate, the US won't hold its status as a democracy in 6 months. #Trump and #Musk are driving their country into the ground.

Canadians are voting with their wallets. 500,000 fewer travelers in ONE month is no small detail. Keep keeping our money in Canada! #cdnpoli #boycottamerica #CanadaStrong

@teslatakedown.com in Ottawa, Canada. #boycotttesla #TeslaTakedown

#DougFord, need we remind you that Ontarians voted you in again because they want you to deal with #Trump. The strong mandate was not because of your desire to rip out bike lanes. Don't do it.

Pressure continues to build on #Tesla and #Musk. #TeslaTakedown #TSLA #BoycottTesla

I'm seeing $114 is the magic number for Elon Musk's margin call on TSLA. I can't find anything concrete on this. Can anybody share a legitimate source? #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #BoycottMusk

Internal documents show that the #Ontario government is aware of the prediction of a 54% increase in all collisions if #Toronto bike lanes are removed. Perhaps this is why the #Conservatives want to pass legislation barring people from suing if struck in an accident. #cycleinfrastructure #ONpoli

Sheesh! That's a further 50% drop. You think #Musk has any regret yet? #teslatakedown #TSLA

Mark Carney, the front-runner to become Canada's new prime minister, is a two-time central banker and crisis fighter who may soon face his biggest challenge of all: steering Canada through Donald Trump's tariffs reut.rs/41LyzA3

#Trump has just stopped sharing intelligence with #Ukraine. Just when we thought it was about the States saving money. This has nothing to do with #America wanting to save money. This is about Donald actively wanting a #Russia and #Putin win. #SlavaUkraini #Zelensky #BoycottAmerica

Evolution of voting intentions in #Canada. Canadians are waking up to the fact that #Poilievre is the closest thing to #Trump that we've got here. #NDP voters need to continue the rally to the #Liberals in order to keep the #MAGA wannabe out of office. #cdnpoli

#DougFord said the #LCBO was going to pull all American spirits from the shelves during last month's #tariff threats. I haven't seen if the spirits have been pulled today. Does anybody know? #Ontario #BoycottAmerica #Canada

History shows that an empire survives, on average, 250 years. The United States of #America turns 250 in 2026... #Trump #USPolitics

#StephenHarper out here contradicting what he had to say about #MarkCarney when he was selected to be the next governor of the Bank of England. #cdnpoli #Liberals #Conservatives #Carney

Outstanding ‼️

I understand the need to not let #InternationalStudent enrolment surge unchecked, but surely we don't need to put a hard cap in place. An institution should be able to continually increase international student numbers if they build appropriate levels of #StudentHousing. #cdnpoli #Education

Don't forget that only 19% of eligible voters in #Ontario voted for #DougFord. #ONpoli #cdnpoli #election #OntarioElection

To #DougFord: This was an election about who was best to handle #Trump, and you were selected as the best candidate. This does NOT mean Ontarians want you to build a tunnel, remove lands from the greenbelt, stifle cycling infrastructure, or double down on the debt spiral of urban sprawl. #ONpoli

Brownie points to these #Americans. I'm glad to see some Americans noticing the treatment of #Canada in the midst of such chaos at home. #Trump #MAGA #tariffs #boycottamerica

The Revolution will be AI-icized

So, for the price of Doug Ford's tunnel, we could instead get that high-speed rail between Toronto and Quebec City? Oh, you're such a visionary, Doug. Only a visionary looks to the expansive crumbling American car infrastructure and thinks, "That's the future." #ONpoli #OntarioElection

Where are the Americans? Americans showed up for #BLM. Showed up for #OccupWallStreet. Showed up for the #CivilRightsMovement. They've shown up. The world needs them to stand up to #Trump. We are rapidly going back 125 years in time, and the people best placed to stop this are the American citizens

#Canada, let's scrap our latest $1.3 billion commitment to border security. The whole point of us bolstering the border was so we would avoid the #tariffs. #Trump has just said, "There's nothing they can do to stop the tariffs." Okay, so lets now use those funds to help us during the trade war.
