I love having the Ironman in Ottawa, and think it's great hosting the finish line in Major's Hill Park, but it's been done for 9 days now and the @ncc-ccn.gc.ca hasn't made the slightest effort to fix the grass. Huge areas are unusable for the crowds who gather on nice evenings. What's the holdup?

With the impending removal of speed cameras, Doug Ford is moving Ontario laws in line with American ways of thinking when we should be moving towards European ways of thinking. He talks a big game against Trump, but at the end of the day, he's not that different.

Urbanists! I am reading conflicting things within urbanism communities. Some argue that increasing property value is a benefit when arguing for certain infrastructure projects. On the flip side, I also read that rising property values is what drives out certain demographics. Is there a balance?

After claiming for months tariffs are paid by the country of origin, it looks as though Trump has quietly acknowledged that it is indeed the American importing companies who pay, and now the government has to provide financial aid to said companies. So much for money flowing into US coffers.

The likelihood of the EU, Japan, and other countries that have agreed to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the US is slim to none. Does Trump really believe they will, or he just wanted a headline? If he truly believes it, the other leaders are laughing now.
