Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I mean, I hope it will get good transit connection if it’s not in the centre of Toronto

J’ai 18 ans et j'ai absolument aucun intérêt pour l’entretien et l’isolement venant avec une maison. Quand je vois une banlieue remplie de familles avec deux enfants vivant dans des copies de la même maison, je trouve ça déprimant. Mon objectif de vie n’est certainement pas de devenir un clone 😅.

C’est tellement weird de valoriser autant la propriété comme si les locataires étaient des moins que rien alors que 40% de la pop sont *locataires*. Pour moi, un appartement n’est pas un compromis, mais un choix de style de vie. Je préfère largement un accès rapide au Métro et un quartier vivant.

C'est le genre de discours qu'on a tristement normalisé. La CAQ y a largement participé. Les mots de M. Primeau en sont le reflet. C'est d'une violence inouïe ; 40% des ménages au Québec sont locataires, mais ils ne méritent pas d'aide ni de considération, parce qu'ils font pas "rouler le Québec".

Canadian astronaut’s bon mots help heal wounds from French language row Jeremy Hansen praised for speaking French in space after Air Canada chief’s linguistic snub exposed tensions and drew rebuke from PM

“[Artemis astronaut] Hansen appears to treat French as part of the job of representing Canada and Air Canada’s chief seemed to treat the language as optional.”

I think if I post this on threads I will literally be clobbered with a proverbial mallet

should we find out

That move is purely political. He wants the common people to believe he’s helping them, while he’s actually doing nothing and simultaneously subsidizing the fossil fuel industry. This will lead to a global climate collapse in the next few decades if we don’t end our reliance on oil ASAP.

Electoral reform has nothing to do with the constitution lol

Liberal delegates vote against electoral reform, support setting a minimum age for social media accounts - The Hill Times Liberal delegates defeated resolutions adopting proportional representation or a ranked ballot system, but passed a resolution restricting young Canadians' access to social media.

Disappointed (not surprised) that the Liberal Party voted against supporting proportional representation at their convention.

What better time than now to go beyond the Anglosphere and learn from better systems in other countries?

:)

Imagine penser qu'il y en a trop...
La ville, bien que bien plus cyclable qu'auparavant, manque encore bien des liens importants et on peut toujours faire mieux. + de pistes assurément!

Wireless headphones are such a big quality-of-life improvement. I’m always surprised to see people with wired earbuds walking around (let alone jogging).

"with poorer bus connectivity than the rest of montréal island, access to REM's anse-á-l'orme branch expected to be difficult"

there, fixed the title

The first astronaut in history to speak French while en route to the moon — Canada’s very own Jeremy Hansen 🇨🇦

Of course he does 😆

Je suis persuadée que l'effritement de nos liens sociaux est en partie lié à une certaine perte de beauté et qualité urbanistique. Créer de belles villes n'est pas un caprice, c'est un désir d'ancrage, comme autant de déclarations d'amour envers nos lieux de vie, et l'envie de bâtir des communautés.

Avi’s grandfather had once told his father, “‘son, not in my lifetime, but maybe in yours.’”

“Recently, my dad told me the same thing: ‘not in my lifetime, maybe in yours,’” Avi shares.

“Well dad, I refuse to tell that to my kid. We cannot wait another generation. We’ve got to start winning now.”

Lewis: “The prime minister is very popular at the moment. He’s a smart guy, and many Canadians still want to give him the benefit of the doubt. That’s fair.”

“But I think when you connect the dots, his moves do not add up to the vision that Canadians truly want and deserve in this perilous moment.”

Poilievre quote tweets JK Rowling saying « what she said » after JK writes: « Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women. »

Wow. Fucking disgusting. Pierre Poilievre is such a loser, man.

Note to everyone: if your rights become politically unpopular, Poilievre will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat, apparently.

Congrats Paris, which just elected another socialist party mayor over the right wing candidate.

This means continuity with Anne Hildago’s world leading interventions that have transformed Paris from a car-clogged, noisy, polluted city into a rapidly greening pedestrian/bike utopia.

L’utilisation des terres agricoles par Alto inquiète Alors qu’Alto se prépare à rencontrer des propriétaires terriens, les avis sont divisés en Mauricie sur le passage du TGV sur des terres agricoles.

🫠 On ne l'aura jamais de #TGV avec des gens comme ça..

Gonna be honest, I find it extremely weird and emblematic of brain-rotted "bothsidesism" that media is near-unanimously celebrating a podcast in which Poilievre agreed as Rogan spouted some disturbing lies.

Rogan said lifesaving COVID mandates were ridiculous. Poilievre explicitly agreed.

La vie sans grosse boîte de métal c’est fun honnêtement

Pas de fardeau financier dans le driveway 😌

The cuts are disgusting honestly…

Canada Post, CBC, and CRA are crucially important crown corporation for the public sector and Canadians…

Adding on that, indigenous affairs and public works are essential.

Carney’s just a fucking conservative in a red shirt, so tired of it already.

Rogan and Poilievre are talking shit about people who impose their will on others. Poilievre specifically emphasizes trusting people to build their own lives.

Frankly rich, given conservatives across Canada are controlling the lives of trans kids and intervening between them and doctors.

Stop I’m jealous

Rogan mentions cannabis being legal in Canada. Poilievre replies, “been legal for 10 years, yeah.”

Rogan applauds Canada for voting to legalize marijuana. He says it's about "personal freedom." Poilievre agrees it’s about personal choice.

(Poilievre voted against cannabis legalization lol)
