Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.

THIS by @maxfawcett.bsky.social is a must-read and calls out so much of what I think is fundamentally driving federal policy right now and helps make sense of moves Carney has made. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/19/o...

Alberta’s separatist movement is no joke
For months now, Alberta’s premier has been catering to the separatists who dominate the membership of her United Conservative Party. Their appetite just keeps growing.

Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it. Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false. www.cbsnews.com/news/scott-b...
MARGARET BRENNAN: Understood. We'll talk to Hakeem Jeffries later in the program. I want to ask you about what the President just announced in regard to Canada. Today, the President said he wants to raise tariffs on Mexico. Yesterday, he said he's going to raise tariffs on Canada by 10%. He blames what he called a fraudulent ad that featured Ronald Reagan advocate- advocating for free trade. It was put up by the province of Ontario. Is this ad really the issue here, or is it just a tactic in this negotiation? Does the President want the USMCA free trade deal renegotiated, or is he looking to do two separate deals, one with Canada, one with Mexico?

OK, I’m not pulling any punches on this one as the consequences are just way too big. In the history of colossally stupid & historically self-destructive political choices, giving power to Nigel Farage in the UK could be comparable to giving Trump power in the United States. Please don’t do it.

You probably won’t be shocked to hear that after losing his seat in the Canadian election & barely putting any effort into his safe seat “campaign” in Alberta that he needs, Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to complete the normal security check and try to get the standard, ordinary security clearance.

“We’ve been designing downtowns to virtually repel children, & then saying, ‘See, families don’t want to live downtown,’” @brenttoderian.bsky.social says. “We’ve been creating the perfect self-fulfilling prophecy.” Struggling downtowns look to lure new people. I’m among those interviewed in this.

These Oval Office media meetings between Trump & various world leaders, even if they don’t turn into unhinged bullying sessions as with Ukraine’s President, are seriously just so stupid. Vanity exercises for Trump the narcissist to ramble about whatever, with global leaders being treated as props.

"Shovel ready zones"? Without Indigenous consultation? Not happening. If he had any sense, he'd have paired that promise with a commitment to come to comprehensive deals with individual First Nations to create said zones... that's an actually doable thing. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Know the difference.
A tweet from user RB (@rbisrb) with the caption "A Huge Difference..." features a two-panel meme. The top panel shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sitting at a desk with a serious expression, with the Ukrainian flag visible in the background. The text above reads "RUSSIAN ASS KICKER." The bottom panel shows former U.S. President Donald Trump making a pouty face. The text above him reads "RUSSIAN ASS KISSER." The meme contrasts Zelenskyy's stance against Russia with a critical portrayal of Trump’s relationship with Russia.

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.

Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work
One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

I’m starting to think that the longer we shield Trump voters from the worst economic outcomes, the worse things actually will get. Sometimes people just have to find out the hard way, sad as that is. Yes, we will suffer. But at least they will learn that elections do have consequences.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
