Every conservative candidate these days: "Everything is broken. Elect me to to fix it, even though It may not actually be broken and I haven't layed out a plan for how to fix it." (I'm lookin' 'specially at you, Brad Bradford.)

The Chedoke Golf Course Lands Review is an opportunity to rethink a major civic greenspace in Hamilton. Civicplan is a partner in the Rethinking Chedoke Creek project which proposed a big idea for this space – Daylighting the buried creek and transforming the area with trails and amenities.

I'm honestly kind of surprised we haven't seen this Margaret Thatcher quote deployed by referendum critics more often (this was during the first Brexit vote when the UK Conservatives were pro Europe)

Paris has been praised in recent years for their visionary, progressive city-building, but they don’t get enough credit for just being really pragmatic! Everything they’ve been doing is common sense. They’re moving a lot more people with less space while cleaning the air and cooling the city.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

He won the popular vote the second time. More people voted for him the second time. Over 2/3 of your electorate supported him either actively with their vote, or tacitly by staying home. Our concerns are fucking valid. You should be concerned too. Quit your gaslighting.

One of Canada's advantages is that we know a lot about the US. We follow their news and politics, get their TV channels, travel there. But Americans know nothing about us. They don't understand our politics, history or values. They constantly misjudge us, but we understand them completely. #cdnpoli

This is why the rest of the world can never trust the US again. More than 2/3 of the electorate supported him either actively or passively, not once but twice. There’s a sickness in the American body politic that getting rid of Trump won’t cure.

He was also right when he said our old relationship with the US is over. He didn’t mean temporarily until Dems get back in. He meant over, kaput, dead. He sees what’s coming and is preparing us for a post-superpower world.

Between 1920 and 1936, the war game most regularly conducted by officers at the United States Army staff college was War Plan Crimson - the full scale invasion of Canada. Only in 1936 did War Plan Rainbow 1 to 5 - for war against Japan and Germany - take priority.

Yes, the only country that has ever attacked Canada was the USA. The only times one of our nations mobilized to defend the other was ALWAYS when Canada defended US military interests, not the other way around. And the only time NATO article 5 was enacted was for Canada et al to defend the USA.
