I’d love:
- more mixed-zoning
- mixed-income neighborhoods (more densification at that)
- I’d settle for any sidewalks
- commuter cycling infrastructure
Artificial traffic-calming measures are low on my list. I think I’d rather they be slowed organically by non driver use.

Like many things in Canadian politics, I’ve heard that Quebec’s language/labelling regs are a non-trivial obstacle.
Agreed that I hope the external monster lights a fire under people’s feet.

My French is /just/ too weak to follow the accusations of that post.
But for other alleged crimes against the combination of potatoes, cheese, (and meat), I’m partial to www.reddit.com/r/PoutineCri...

I think they may be (largely) mutually exclusive: and I’d rather protect Birthright Citizenship.

Depends.
I optimistically think of it as getting some of my own extra carbon costs back, and some of other - more wasteful consumer’s - on top.

Never formed a Federal Government.
There have been not a few Provincial and Territorial NDP Governments.

As long as there’s a carve-out for housing co-ops; we need more of them, and mixed-income at that would be best.

I remember seeing that, along with an episode of _Animals_ “Birds of Prey” narrated by Anthony Mackie.
I feel like there are a few other MCU actors that were well cast as narrators. (But I can’t remember which are real and which were just my partner and I playing “what would be the best pairing?”)
