If someone chooses to live in a smaller home in the inner city in part to avoid a long commute, they generally don’t pressure society to build them a bigger house with more stuff. So if you choose a bigger stuff-filled house in the suburbs, don’t expect society to build you a fast car commute.

A first for the Missing Middle! We had a video banned on TikTok. Looks like somebody didn't like me talking about Trump Tariffs. Sadly I expect we'll see more of this censorship going forward.

Rankings are BS most of the time. Clickbait. But The Athletic ranking Hutson 39th among prospects under 23 is worse - it's unprofessional. If you're not going to pay attention, then don't set yourself up as the arbiter of all prospects. Someone should get fired for this.

Les barrières au commerce interprovincial à l'intérieur du Canada constituent l'équivalent d'un tarif douanier de 21 % selon la Banque nationale. L'élimination de cette entrave permettrait une croissance de 3,8 % du PIB par habitant. t.co/Hhm859x6IX

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack urban biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” #CityMakingMath dailyhive.com/vancouver/bi...

One thing I really didn't anticipate with social media was hate speech becoming, I guess, really profitable. I also assumed that a sufficient majority of people researched things they read/watched. I guess propaganda/misinformation really does work (which I already knew but didn't really understand)

Un péage serait la meilleure façon de diminuer la congestion et la pollution sur l’île de Montréal, en plus de finalement faire payer au banlieusards leur juste part des dépenses en infrastructures de la ville. Les Montréalais ne peuvent pas payer indéfiniment pour le mode de vie des “expatriés”…

American Fietser has wiped all content from Instagram, just like with X. I can’t support platforms that not only align with harmful political climates but actively sew discord. You do you, but I’m committed to living the values I claim to uphold.

Le 250$ offert par Trudeau au printemps va aller, en ce qui me concerne, à un organisme qui aide les gens qui en arrachent et pour qui ça va faire une vraie différence. Je suis convaincue que je ne serai pas la seule à faire pareil.

There is far more money to be made in housing than rocket launches. The reason there is no Elon Musk of housing is that it is several orders of magnitude harder than rockets.

C’est important d’écouter les problèmes, car même si un politicien n’est pas d’accord avec une solution proposée par un citoyen, il peut en apprendre beaucoup sur ses problèmes en l’écoutant, et ainsi trouver une solution, même si elle est différente! Un chialeux n’a que rarement tort à 100%

Want some “common sense?” Imagine that Utrecht, Netherlands intersection if all those people were driving cars. Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion. Too many cars causes traffic congestion.

Disagreement is important. Sometimes you change your mind and sometimes you understand better why you were right. Unfortunately the internet encourages an aggressive and hostile style of disagreement that can be exhausting, especially if you have a bigger audience.
