Elder advocate for the beautiful world I inherited but fear my great grandchildren will never get to see the beauty - all burned up and polluted with single-use plastics. Environmental degredation makes me so sad. But I love to grow food and flowers.

True but I had read that these E-vehicles were not selling as well and production was slowing. I wish I could find the article in a Canadian newspaper which said that. Correct -I should have researched better.

Now right now, it's deeply underfunded. We can and we should do better. And more importantly, everything is so expensive that our middle class and our high functioning people - are just a cough away from being homeless as well. It's not just people that have run into life issues.

Lansdowne is horrific. Including stage one. Those that argue it's better than run down parking lot it was have no idea the public value that has been lost.

And yet. Your initial housing TF resulted in what exactly? City still killed projects that are exactly what the city says they want to see; what if we simply did what OAA had been recommending since 2014 and what i recommended when we met in 2022 (reform planning)? 1/ substack.com/@toondreesse...

Basics like approval of SPA in 2-3 months; legal agreements in 2 weeks; reform of DCs so infill isn’t paying for things that they don’t benefit from that end up subsidizing greenfield dev; incentives for infill & sustainability; use of public land for public value (like Lansdowne could have been) 2/

What if we funded affordable housing at same pace we fund roads? What if we used fair contracts & procurement practices to boost local economy instead of driving away talent thru unfair, biased, miserable, project vision; created real value thru ideas, social benefit? @jleiper.bsky.social for mayor!

This is to say nothing of the truly proactive investments—i.e., in reducing emissions. The time to act was 10, 20, 30 years ago; but any effort expended now will substantially benefit future generations.

Get reupped on your vaccines. Treat the unvaccinated like the plague. They are a willful public health threat. Measles is the most infectious disease known to humankind. 90% infection rate, up to 2h after the person leaves.

The world is extremely unequal — Today, the top 10% of the global population’s income-earners earn more than the remaining 90%, while the poorest half of the global population captures less than 10% of the total global income. When will “enough” mean something?

Pessimist! There are working people who are homeless because they cannot afford the rents but they are still paying taxes. Not all unhoused are addicts, not all brain-injured, not all add to the legal costs in our community. They just need compassion and a hand up. Living Basic income would help.

Tragically a continuing evidence of anti-Palestine is perpetrated because they are labelled with the same title as Hamas, even though most do not share the extreme ideology of the terrorists. Just as Jews do not share the same ideology of Netanyahu and the terrorist IDF. We need to stop the hating!

Maybe their focus should be on the poor. Unless their needs are met, there will continue to be discontent, thefts and other crime which make the downtown less desirable to visit. The “good quality housing” sounds suspiciously like high end houses and condos. The income gap keeps growing.
