The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago.
They sued, got their land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby NIMBYs.

@RealAlbanianPat My city is estimated to have reached 180,000 people in 2024. We weren't supposed to reach that until 2050.

I'm not saying that veterans are malingering, but I am saying that this is exactly the pattern that you would expect to see if they were. veterans.gc.ca/en/news-and-me…

Most Canadian veterans have fairly minor disabilities, and the number of veterans receiving compensation for disabilities steadily decreases as the severity of the disability increases, until you reach a massive spike of recipients at 100% disability.

@JJ_McCullough Liberals and Conservatives are mostly tied here, abolishing the monarchy really isn't as right-coded as you think.

Another day, another poll showing that Conservatives favor abolishing the monarchy in Canada more than Liberals. I wish the Conservative Party would listen to their supporters on this issue:

@RealAlbanianPat Meanwhile we spend about 3x as much on OAS than our own armed forces. This woman quite literally receives more government handouts in a year than most young people get in their entire lives.

@LilyArtemisTO Fr, I don't know how politicians aren't scared shitless going around in public. I'm not even talking about cabinet members, I'd be on edge if I were a backbencher.

New monthly report: Median rents in Manhattan have hit $5k/month for first time ever. +6% over past year. Median rents in Brooklyn have also reached an all-time high $4,296, +7.5%. The report cites "the tightest inventory seen in nearly four years" as cause for rapid rise in rents. Translation: We desperately need to build more housing, including affordable housing.

People who support bail need to start being more vocal about it, because if you give anti-bail politicians an inch, they take a mile. matteoraso.substack.com/p/canada-needs…

Isn't it crazy that you can implement draconian anti-bail laws, call it "common-sense", and then people will just accept it?

You deserve to know when and why Canada’s broken bail system is letting violent, repeat offenders back onto the streets. That’s why we’re proposing common-sense bail reform, including: - live-streaming bail hearings - mandating written justification when bail is granted - a new, anonymous bail dashboard to identify bias and problems in the system

@RuxandraTeslo They get it from the government, and the government doesn't run them because they don't want to be accused of being statist. Yes, that's a dumb line of reasoning, but people are dumb.

I want to understand where these non profits get their money from and why is this run by non profits and not the government?
