Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 2hyeah it's absolutely brutal to see. i was a municipal garbage picker for a couple summers and we also were forced to clear out unhoused encampments and that was a pretty radicalizing moment in my youth. 080
Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 5hthere's a whole fuckin' discovery center in gregoire about how much the oilsands sucks shit lol. guess people get too enamoured with the big trucks. 050
Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 5hyeah this is what i was about to say. if you actually know the industry/grow up in fort mac you know the oilsands is a shitty business that's needed government subsidies every step of the way. if you're in calgary you just assume the pumpjacks and the oilsands are equivalent. 1140

Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 02/10/2026Generally speaking these people aren't going to respond to facts and logic because they're going through motivated reasoning/confirmation bias, usually through an info bubble. so you need to ask questions and be curious about what they believe and why. i generally play-act confused. 210

Reposted by Jordyn Marcellus403 FORBIDDEN @joshgrant.online · 02/10/2026I do think a (possibly hilarious) problem right now is that at the executive/leadership level at many organizations the level of computer literacy is *miserable*.

Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 01/10/2026this is why the resistance to towers is such BS. people are against apartments. they've been against apartments since the first one went up at spadina and lowther. no density is gentle enough because, again, i think it's truly a class issue. 110
Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 01/10/2026Yeah you're right, displacement is the better term for what I meant. I don't want to do that shit. Hell, we're looking at cheap condos and we won't even N12 someone with a year's rent just because it's too icky. 010
Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 01/10/2026It can be hard to admit that you may have accidentally played a part in decades of renovictions. I say this as someone who has, often thought, "I'm not (cuss)ing gentrifying parkdale" despite many people I know doing just that. 110
Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 01/10/2026It's by design -tho I don't know how intentional. Our zoning system has created deeply perverse incentives that mean many of the things we could do ~75 years ago just aren't possible now. And zoning is fake, just lines on maps. We could zone Rosedale apartment neighbourhood tomorrow but we don't! 110
Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 01/10/2026100%! The system, as is, destroys good lower-income housing or renovictions (like multiplexes being converted back to SFH). Lots of developers are sleazebags operating inside a monopoly capitalist system where by dint of their wealth they can pay-to-play. This is the system as designed. 110
Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 01/10/2026As a renter, I want cheap rents. As a homeowner, I want high rents because it bolsters my land and property values. Then there's aesthetics which... well, aestheticization of politics leads to some darker places. 110
Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 01/10/2026Yeah, it's why I tend to go with a vulgar class analysis here. Renters understand precarity (why densification needs tons of renter protection alongside it) while homeowners have different incentives. Doesn't help the cult of home ownership-as-investment means many want housing costs to be high. 110
Jordyn Marcellus @jordynmarcellus.ca · 01/10/2026problem is that a lot of those progressive politicians are homeowners and their class interests _do not intersect_ with us renters. 110
