Carney begins his announcement of a new oil pipeline by acknowledging the climate-linked wildfire that came close to levelling the town where he's announcing the new oil pipeline. A flat circle.

What if, hear me out, we built enough pools, skating rinks, libraries, parks, etc for our population and designed and planned them, maintained them, and yes, required proof of residence? If you’ve moved to an exurb for the cheaper taxes, these are choices.

Setting aside the fact that Quebec cannot abolish the monarchy in any way inside the province, claiming that they would "repatriate" those funds for social causes is pure horseshit. Any kind of elected office to replace the LG would cost vastly more than the LG does (which didn't get fact-checked).

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.
