Cries in Ottawa pt 5000
We face losing nothing less than Canadian decency, decorum and democracy. Do news media recognize this? thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/…
One of many things Ottawa could do if it wants to be a serious city is to have a few design competitions on govt land, prioritising affordability as well as public space.

I can’t imagine @JustinTrudeau or @theJagmeetSingh proudly stopping their cars to praise ppl waving “F@&k @PierrePoilievre” signs. It’s not how I’d want any political leader to act.

“Over the last decade, Ontario’s rent control guideline has allowed landlords to increase rents by 16.5%,” said @ricardo_tranjan , the @ccpa report’s co-author. “Over that time, average rents have actually increased by 54.5%.” thestar.com/real-estate/to…
The people saying a few days ago that condos cause fewer children will now immediately change their minds and start arguing that the single family homes of Etobicoke north cause fewer children right?

It’s the dirty little secret of housing policy - that the root of rapidly rising house prices is govts encouraging treating homeownership as an investment. And no government is willing to address it.
I couldn’t have said it better. The nation’s capital, with the NCC. Ottawa should be so much better.

A note on the difference in discourse in the US & Israel: In Israel, the families of hostages (incl Hersh's parents per below) are calling for a deal & protesting a government that is dragging its feet & a prime minister who can't even be bothered to meet with the families. (1/4)

Cant be a party of family values and be against building more housing *where people want to live*. I don't make the rules. Absolutely wild to me that the Premier's riding has lost more children than any other riding in Toronto and it's not even a close contest but then again its…

Non-market community housing stabilizes the rental market and creates affordability.

The whole "can't raise families in apartments" discourse really amazes me. Families being raised in apartments is not a new phenomenon. But a big chunk of the political class literally can't wrap their minds around it ... which tells you a lot about the political class.
@Alex_S_Cullen @CWhitzman @mirgray @NSaravanamuttoo @dreamitnowdoit @HorizonOttawa Think of something like the charter of human rights, with provincial legislation and building codes, and municipal design guidelines at the site specific relationship to specific city needs or conditions. It all works together. 2/
@Alex_S_Cullen @CWhitzman @mirgray @NSaravanamuttoo @dreamitnowdoit @HorizonOttawa Some of the Australian national design policy, for example, specifically address the colonization and aboriginal land rights. A ties together different aspects of our society. It forms a conversation around what we aspire to and how we can achieve it.
The TLDR for those interested: Took a tax payer funded vacation to run a marathon and then asked my press secretary to write this tweet.
City council chose economic development as one of our top priorities. During the #TeamOttawa mission, @Ottawa_Tourism , @Invest_Ottawa and I met with dozens of event organizers, national and international sports organizations, tourism businesses, and business executives, all of…
Buckle up I am going to use this card again: As half Palestinian half Jew, it is kind of wild to observe what's going on recently. I never know who is going to hate me more. But what I can say for sure is that these protests made people talk more about Americans then about Gazans
I don’t care what anyone says, “I feel fine but my wife made me come in” has a positive predictive value for something being really fucking wrong that approaches 100%
Answer me this, hypocrite: @JustinTrudeau If any of what you said was true, why am I facing suspension of my licence as a clinical psychologist for criticizing you and your once chief of staff? I'm sure you're aware of the case, yet you've said nothing.…

@rail_guns BOLLARD IS FINE BUT THE PAVEMENT IS SHIT. #WorldBollardAssociation
@MacLeodLisa The keffiyeh by itself is not anti-semitic. It is traditional garb for many in the Middle East. This ban is arbitrary and discriminatory.
Absolutely no reason we can’t build up to 8 storeys in neighborhoods like Forest Hill. Easily could have been an apartment. But this is allowed why an apartment is banned.
Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau visited Halton Region this week to announce new measures to build homes - including co-ops - on underused and vacant public lands. Our federation partners @PHCHF and staff from Birch Glen Co-op attended the announcement. Co-ops are ready to build🏗
What about asking if the *provincial* government is doing enough to address the housing crisis? Provincial government only controls everything to do with land use regulations (zoning, permits, the approval process itself, rules on development charges and other poison pills)
As for federal government doing enough to address housing affordability, only 23% (down 4% since last March) believe they are. Poll was done AFTER the budget. Also noteworthy, 23% is the number who say they will vote for LPC if an election were held tomorrow (4/4)

"Countries like Sweden do in-depth studies after every fatal collision, to examine every single factor involved (not just driver errors and decisions), and recommends concrete actions to make sure that they don’t happen again at that site. And it works." visionzerovancouver.ca/2024/04/18/a-c…
Open for the season! 80% of park washrooms are open—earlier than expected. The remaining will be opened over the next week. We are ahead of schedule this year thanks to the tremendous efforts of City staff.

Anti-density, NIMBY-dominated, low-density parts of Toronto are becoming less and less hospitable places for families with young children. Places that are adding a lot of new apartments are seeing increases in the number of young children.
@CBCNS More! More! More! With rents under $1000/mo, though not necessarily geared-to-income, this housing is close to what we mean by ‘affordable’. Congratulations Affirmative Ventures. #housing #affordablehousing
