I regret to inform you that the Canadian Moo Deng is now doing sponsored brand collabs with President's Choice
FACEBOOK POST:
For Scale: #Maple is growing faster than we can keep up with, so our friends at President's Choice stopped by your Toronto Zoo with another Canadian icon to help put her size into perspective 👀

Using PC® The Decadent Chocolate Chunk Cookies, #TZTinyTank is six PC® The Decadent Chocolate Chunk Cookies packages high ⚖️🦛

Maple may officially be giving The Decadent some competition for the title of Canada’s favourite chunk 🍪

Did you know? President’s Choice was launched by #Canadian retailer Loblaw Companies Limited in 1984, with its iconic PC® The Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie following in 1988. It has become an iconic grocery-store favourite for Canadians!

Man, first-past-the-post is crazy. When 30% of the vote can plausibly get you a majority government but 15% can plausibly get you zero (0) seats.

I don't see enough discussion that, aside from establishing facts and removal from office, the point of impeachment is to *disqualify* all these people from ever holding federal office again. Whiskey Pete wants to run for President and he should be barred from doing so.

And it's going to be a useful case study for future generations of students on what can happen when different levels of government successfully work together. It's as much a feat of intergovernmental relations gone right as it is a conservation and landscape architecture triumph.

It's interesting how pre-modern development was much more linear than most people think. Cities saturating the space inside their walls, as you see in fantasy or poorly researched historical movies, is actually a very rare occurrence that happened when growth was constrained

To all my Ontario friends who haven't yet read the WhatsApp chat between the Ontario Big City Mayors, here are the highlights. From complaining about how they count housing starts to Cam Guthrie doing God's work with zoning, to complaining about DCs, it really hits all the bingo squares.
Chat transcript from October 27, 2023, discussing Ontario housing fund allocation criteria. Participants debate whether municipalities should qualify based on building permits approved versus housing starts, and note discrepancies in unit counting methodology between municipalities.Chat conversation from March 21, 2024, discussing a provincial announcement about four-unit housing policy. Participants reference confusion about whether the policy applies to 4-unit buildings or 4-6 storey buildings in neighborhoods, and share a YouTube link to clarify the announcement.Chat messages from August 18, 2024, discussing property tax implications and development charge costs. Topics include Ontario government property tax increases, a condo DC cost example in Oakville, and debate about mechanisms to ensure development charge reductions translate to affordable housing prices.Chat transcript from November-December 2024, discussing revenue shortfalls and property tax increases. Includes discussion of municipal development charge policy changes, statutory exemptions affecting Toronto's budget, and concerns about passing costs to taxpayers and homebuyers.

The steam required for the John Street Roundhouse's much vaunted "direct steaming process" also came from the Central Heating Plant. In the 1980s the TTR decided to buy steam heat directly from a commercial supplier. The Central Heating Plant was demolished in 1990.
One of the Central Heating Plant's two chimneys topples over after having its base dynamited during demolition of the plant on June 17, 1990. The skyline of downtown Toronto, including the Royal York Hotel and Union Station, is in the background. Photo by Norm Betts.

Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.
