Build modern housing. Build modern infrastructure. Build modern democracy. More power generation is ok, but efficiency is the game-changer. Yes it can be done in Canada.

So-called “inclusionary zoning,” the practice of requiring home builders to rent new apartments at a loss to low-income tenants, is a tax on new housing that worsens the housing shortage and raises rents overall in exchange for a handful of means-tested units. It’s bad policy!

This is huge. In particular the opening of data centres connected to Europe through fibre optic cables. Good for Canafian electricity sales as well as great for the planet.

Because of Trump’s tariffs, stainless steel costs 40% more than it did a year ago, but that seems like a feature, not a bug, in this market. A designer says this only adds to its allure. “It used to be economical. When things are harder to acquire, it becomes more exciting for people to use.”

There are farmers in the many other countries with high speed rail. The difference is that they don't hate the city folk instinctively like rural North Americans do.

Canada should pursue an autopact with the EU and change auto standards to align with EU standards. US automakers are no longer partners in any way. Joining the EU is unnecessary and Canada's federation is not a good fit. But side agreements can work, like an autopact.

Jun 28, 1886: the Canadian Pacific Railway begins regular passenger service between Montreal, Toronto and Port Moody, BC. Unlike the huge celebration in Montreal, there were no recorded festivities in Toronto marking this historic occasion. 1/3
A large crowd of spectators watch the departure of a train—possibly the first regular passenger train to the Pacific coast—from the Canadian Pacific Railway's Dalhousie Square Station in Montreal. Lithograph by an unknown artist, McCord Stewart Museum collection.
