@archhistory.bsky.social , what exactly made you "Like" this ad hominem post 👇? Does it advance the public discourse, or simply encourage tribal behaviour?

#canpoli #cdnpoli #epicfury #freeiran BlueSky is really quiet today as Canadian Regressives - Leftists & Carney Liberals - struggle to invent an anti-Trump narrative that doesn't put them on the side of the Mullahs. Bringing up Epstein and old anti-war quotes is such a lame, desperation move! 🤣🤣🤣😁👍👍

Greens were expected to win on rising polarization at Labour's expense in Gorton and Denton. Yet ReformUK's share of the vote ⬆️ by ~15pts. With Conservatives ⬇️ ~6pts, the popular vote shifted right by 9pts (!) in what is traditionally one of the most Left-leaning seats in the country. #UKisReforming

#cdnpoli #leafs Will Canadian hockey fans throw Matthews under the bus -- like some have done did with Gretzky -- once he's accepted Trump's invitation? Can't wait to see how the cognitive dissonance will be reconciled, if not.

#cdnpoli #climatecrisis It appears that way ONLY if you focus on share of consumption and ignore absolute levels. The latter tells a very different story, with China burning 12x more coal than the US, and growing 👇... Energy consumption from Coal, 2024: China - 25,599.31 TWh US - 2,195.63 TWh

...except through 2024 China hasn't replaced ANY coal - it's gone up each year in absolute terms. And, but for the odd year here/there, oil & gas use has trended up in absolute terms too. The atmosphere cares about absolute energy sources and their related emissions, not relative percentages.

#topoli #urbanism Bigger isn't always better. Optimization requires finding the Golden Mean. Those who espouse urban intensification focus on the perceived scale benefits, but often suffer a blindspot wrt the diseconomies of scale. 👇

#urbanism Interesting that a book celebrating the impromptu aspects of a city isn't titled "Spontaneous City" or "Serendipitous City" but, rather, "Messy City", as if it is likewise meant to normalize and celebrate urban decline.

#topoli #urbanism Aristotle knew the Golden Mean was virtuous 2400 yrs ago, so why assume density is best? With 2/3 of 2026 pop'n, 1986 Toronto had: -96% of the library branches -80% of the subway stops -avg home price-to-income of 4x vs 11x -an inflation-adjusted Metropass that cost 2/3 of today's

#usa #europe Rather than admitting what's wrong in BOTH societies -- the prerequisite to making both better -- we're tribal, picking sides & pretending that only the other has problems, all the while ignoring our own decline, corrosion & rot. Without change, this will not end well for either one.

#canpoli #cdnpoli #bcpoli You're kidding, right? Maybe union LEADERSHIP is an NDP ally, NOT the MEMBERSHIP. BC NDP's environmental policies have destroyed resource-extracting livelihoods, and its FN reconciliation policies threaten the fruits of everyone's labours by undermining personal property.

#canpoli #cdnpoli #topoli #housing #onpoli As a big wave of mortgages come up for renewal in 2026 at higher interest rates, and the economy continues to soften, downward pressure will build in the housing market. Avg prices in Toronto are already down >25% from the peak in Feb 2022. (1/3)
