Over the last 100+ years, governments have put thousands of rules dictating residential neighbourhood design. But have those rules made neighbourhoods better? I'd say it's made them objectively worse. I'll take a World War I-era neighbourhood over any post-WW2 design any day.

Very cool ads that Western Standard (a right-wing "news" rag in Canada) is running on its website!

No one alive will experience a better climate than today. But young people will experience a much more dangerous and chaotic world in the future, and the extent to which that happens will depend on our choices today. Trump doesn't care because he's old and a sociopath. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/s...

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

Did you know the most powerful force for climate action is LOVE—for our children, their future, and the world they’ll inherit? That's right! Research shows this message moves hearts 12x more than jobs and 2x more than extreme weather. Source: potentialenergycoalition.org/guides-and-r...

Seems like a really good day for Canadian media to stop letting Pierre Poilievre off the hook for not getting (or not being able to get) the same normal security clearance that everyone else in similar positions has always gotten. In today’s unprecedented dangerous context, that’s a huge red flag.

The Israeli government is using US tax dollars to carry out a mass ethnic cleansing campaign across the occupied West Bank. Since signing the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, Israeli forces have displaced almost 40,000 Palestinians from their homes.

My first Charlemagne of 2025: Why Canada should join the EU. It has space and resources, Europe has people. Let's deal. (OK fine maybe we should just work towards a closer relationship of like-minded countries, especially in the age of Trump.) www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

This is a must view video. The rise of death threats and hate harassment over the last 4 years has been shocking. The targeting of school board officials, politicians, municipal leaders is an open threat to democracy because it targets people who dare step up to serve.

Israel continues its policy of deliberately killing people in so-called "humanitarian zones." They continue using starvation as a tactic against civilians. This is a war crime regime. It is time for total boycotts/sanctions. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

“For half a century, a litany of federal policies has favored large SUVs & trucks, pushing automakers & buyers toward larger models. Instead of counteracting #CarBloat thru regulation, policymakers have subtly encouraged it. That has been a boon for car companies but a disaster for everyone else.”

I have been amazed that our public voices have been so accepting of this blatant attack on our country. Individuals I tal to are almost all horrified and angered by those words. Our media and public intellectuals - not so much..

Where bike-friendly infrastructure is the norm, kids gain freedom. No car keys, no backseat waiting. They learn independence, time management, and how to get around on their own. A small shift in how we design cities helps them grow into confident, capable adults.

Fantastic episode. Finally got a chance to listen. Great conversation about car brain—why all of us become our ugly selves behind the wheel. (Not just BMW drivers.) Why drivers are less wiling to yield to Black walkers than to whites. Why it's better to call then traffic crashes, not accidents. 👇🏽
