Urban v. exurban/rural politics, in Montreal/Quebec. I think there are simpler solutions to the problem they raise than vague, implausible calls for city-state status - but this imbalance of urban and rural ambitions is a constant problem in Canadian politics, and democratic politics generally.

“Poly-crisis” is everywhere, often framed as a call to restore nation-state primacy. But are states the only or even the best entities to respond? We argue that cities are where crises are lived and often most directly handled. With @rkeil.bsky.social, Ross Beveridge, Ewan Kerr and Maryam Lashkari.

From Minneapolis to Toronto and Bogotá, cities showcase new ways to address crises

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
