@JakeLandauTO Very disappointing indeed! @stevenmackinnon - this is not a good look for the feds particularly considering Toronto needs more housing. I do get what you’re saying but give Torontonians options with the upcoming municipal election to follow the wish of the people.

The Liberals officially support this, so if you oppose paving the lake, you need to vote against the Liberals in the University-Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest federal by-elections.

Looks like Federal Transport Minister @stevenmackinnon is A-Ok with the stripping of environmental protections, Ford stealing city land & a massive loss of housing on the waterfront for jets. Use our petition & get him to reconsider at NoJetsTO.com! #cdnpoli
Toronto, Ontario 🇨🇦 English
@nicocanavo So sick, seeing planes land close by is one of the coolest things in the area

can’t wait for a really great show at the amp to be ruined by a 737 flying overhead every 15 minutes

BREAKING: The Ford government plans to declare Billy Bishop a 'Special Economic Zone' under Bill 5 to expand YTZ to allow for jets. It also, as previously announced, pushing Toronto out of the tripartite agreement that governs the island airport

@yacineMTB Incredible place, I make six figures working two days a week making fun videos for brands. The entertainment industry is on another level here

canada is actually an incredible place to build a business

Was in a Canadian incubator some years ago. They were just giving lectures about shareholder agreements, telling you to read The Lean Startup. And if they like you, they will invest ~$50k CAD to you in return for equity
It was a complete waste of time
Guess what, all my friends and myself are all in the US now...

it doesn’t have to be this way

I wish metro Vancouver was an actual large city instead of the small to median sized city it actually is.

@BrentToderian Irrelevant for US cities, since the density is so low and distances so vast. In Europe cycling is the fastest way to get from A to B

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened —how fast people on bikes “appeared” —once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.
It took leadership.

@1800ghostman Good for her, she’s a closeted conservative anyways

Why is Chow rolling over so easily on this??? She’s been against this for decades.

Premier Ford and Ministers Sarkaria and Bethlenfalvy are now up at the Billy Bishop Airport. Ford says he will declare Billy Bishop a special economic zone and table legislation to take over from the city. #onpoli

@zandertoo At least someone has some mettle, all these other fuckboys are so insufferable and just want to move to the US asap

@JeremyMacKenzi Do the opposite everyone; this is how you turn your economy into Europe. A country can only do as well economically as its people spend. If anything just don’t spend on things that enrich anyone abroad

The best advice I can give everyone in Canada right now is to, if you aren't already, be as tight with your financial resources as possible.
Cost of living is going parabolic.
Cut excesses and luxuries now. Every dollar you waste today you're going to regret it in 9 months.

@CommonWealth_ca True, and it would incentivize more massive vertical towers which I’m very in favor of
English
University of Toronto awarded a prestigious scholarship for a paper on shifting taxes to land to solve the housing crisis.
It cites our research showing that an LVT-funded tax rebate can leave most Canadian households with more disposable income.

@LOWaterkeeper Both approaches are small brained. The world’s best and most famous waterfronts have a promenade road lined with restaurants and patios. That is the only good city waterfront. If we wanted a suburban park on the water we’d go to Oakville.
English
To reiterate — Toronto waterfront has been moving in direction of bringing people & nature back to the Harbour and the Lake for decades now. The attitudes of the past to use harbour as an industrial base are long gone. Hopefully, everyone moves on quickly to building our future together & not arguing about the past. open.substack.com/pub/waterkeepe…

@Tablesalt13 Largely the fault of right wing Canadian media cuck boys still complaining about Trudeau

🚨BREAKING - An estimated 40% of the top 1% of Canadian earners have FLED CANADA for the USA
This is what is driving DOWN the GDP per capita number in Canada!
....and 30 to 50 percent of the next nine percentiles of Canadian income earners have ALSO left.
-The Hub.

@Roger_ramjet1 Everyone loves Montreal, nobody questions this except Montrealers when they hear someone bring up Toronto for any reason haha

@TheChaosWeeber Completely true, Canadians own so much bullshit they don’t need. I’ll listen to your complaints when you stop ordering Uber Eats for $70 every meal
English
Most Canadians are financially uneducated and spend too much.
Like sorry but half the country isn’t in poverty. Everyone says they live paycheque to paycheque because of lifestyle inflation.
Iain A. Rogers@MrMeowsalot
@TheChaosWeeber 😐 Half of Canadians live paycheck to paycheck.

@FoodProfessor What do they mean launches an investigation? Isn’t all food already investigated?

BREAKING: Ottawa launches investigation into a surge of cheap imported canned and frozen vegetables hitting Canada.
Canadians producers say they’re being squeezed by global oversupply redirected into our market.

@miltonal57 @ConsumerSOS @StLawrenceMkt Not realistic, no entity could ever have the money to do anything like this at scale.
English
So fortunate to live in the oldest part of Toronto, dating to about 1793. And to have the @StLawrenceMkt just across the street. #Toronto

@ShaziGoalie Herd mentality as always. Everyone is on the sidelines waiting for a hypothetical bottom to be announced, but the bottom can’t be called until people start coming back and everyone rushes in at the same time, annihilating supply and boosting prices

@bilal_akh Ontario and federal tax for small businesses is actually crazy low
English
Sometimes I wonder why I do any advocacy on tech when the loudest people in the industry make up numbers like “60% tax”
(California’s top marginal tax rate is within a percentage point of Ontario’s, and is actually higher if you make your money through capital gains)
Eric Jackson@ericjackson
71% of Waterloo software engineering grads leave for the US. The brain drain damage threshold is 20%. Canada is at 3x the red line. Think about that. Canada taxes its people at 60% in part to fund a university system to train its best and brightest to flee the country and make the US GDP spike. Who is spiking US GDP at the moment? All the Canadians working for Anthropic and OpenAI in AI. How crazy is that? What do the Canadian tax payers get for their generosity out of this?

@the_transit_guy Youd have to replace the whole population with people who are authentic first

If Miami actually had a subway and regional rail system it would be one of the best cities in the country.
