@mickeysplasht @NightShiftMD Sounds like what I am dealing with. 17 days and counting! Had flu + COVID shots, No fever, but ongoing sinus and cough. And general tiredness

@NightShiftMD Super nasty head/sinus cold working through our Gatineau family. Stock up on meds if you haven't. Glad I did. The flu shot didn't protect us.

A wicked viral illness is making its way through the GTA.

I hop you enjoyed that look at the Trans-Canada Trail! If you enjoy my Canadian history content, you can support my work with a donation at 👇 buymeacoffee.com/craigu *sources in next post* 🧵 12/12

It is the longest recreational, multi-use trail network in the world. The trail extends over 28,000 km and took 25 years to complete. Today, it is maintained by thousands of people. This is the story of the Trans Canada Trail! 🧵 1/12

@1alexhemingway Loved your article! Can we connect to discuss further? Can I DM you?

Worried about infrastructure costs? Then end the apartment ban. To tackle the housing shortage and close the infrastructure gap, ending exclusionary zoning is a critical part of the solution. Oped in today's Vancouver Sun vancouversun.com/opinion/worrie…

@jedwinmok @GiulioCescato @UofTCities @CANURB @ChittiMarco @Amer0204 @TAL_UofT Wonderful report! Will read it with great interest. Are you aware of a parallel study on construction costs for large water infrastructure? If not, can we connect?

NEW PUBLICATION: “Understanding the Drivers of Transit Construction Costs in Canada” in @UofTCities @CANURB The first from me, Balthazar Crane, @ChittiMarco, and @Amer0204 So why are transit projects so expensive in Canada? Here’s what we found: 1/🧵 stateofcitiessummit.ca/files/041224_U…

@beheshtialex Region of Waterloo actively managed the countryside line to reduce greenspace sprawl as it protected the groundwater recharge areas that provides drinking water. 75% of Regions supply comes from groundwater unlike most other urban areas in Ont. that access Great Lakes.

So that's my 3 (or, really 4) things I'm thinking about: 1. Development charges + land costs 2. Child-friendly density 3. Housing + climate And, ICYMI, here's my remarks to the federal cabinet. /🧵 thehub.ca/2024/08/27/mik…

@bronwynnewilton Agree! And it starts with a stormwater utility for small to mid sized municipalities so they have the $ to manage our changing water cycle that is producing ’stormwater’

When it comes to the levels of government in Canada, who is accountable for what? 🤔 🏥 🏫 For example, who's responsible for hospitals and healthcare, or building schools? ℹ️ Find out in out our informational PDF: bit.ly/3Ln8cYn ➡️ Learn more: saskatoon.ca/vote2024

@LisaMAndrews_ Would love to hear more insights! From my experience, this is a reality in 🇨🇦 too. The timelines for traditional research and the knowledge needed for practitioners are not aligned.

⚖️💧Learning that it is not always easy to balance between collaboration in traditional research project structures AND fulfilling the immediate knowledge needs from the practice side

Today at @KWR_Water, the Dutch #Impact Alliance is here for discussions on how to enable impact with stakeholders in research projects. We have a panel from the drinking #water and #wastewater representatives on their challenges working in collab research projects - insightful💡

@khzny With infill projects, have you experienced any challenges securing water or sewer capacity?

We deal with lots of opposition to our urban infill projects. I want to be clear: Everyone has a right to speak up for what they feel is best for them. No judgement from us. It is our job to convince council what we think is best for the neighbourhood, and hopefully win the neighbours over when the project is finished.
