They weren’t social liberals but they were still liberals nonetheless, and their position on the spectrum was closer to where most liberals are internationally, the centre-right. Take a look at Australia and Britain’s liberals for example. Only in the US are liberals considered to be the left wing because there’s only 2 viable options and actual leftists in the US who vote have to settle with being in the same party as liberals rather than having their own party, which the fptp voting system would ensure would fail. US media has not helped by misrepresenting the definition for decades.
The federal party is run by social liberals, which are centrist.

I’ve been hiking most weekends in northeastern Ontario. There’s been a lot of rain but I haven’t let that stop me from enjoying the forests and lakes

Supposedly there is a way using a macOS emulator, since Vanguard hasn’t been ported to macOS yet
But there cannot be a full renaissance without challenging progressive political power, which, unfortunately, has risen in Toronto.
Swing and miss by NatPo. Not that anyone should expect much from an opinion piece from any of a conservative American hedge fund’s papers.
NIMBYs can come in any political stripe and must be countered everywhere.
There’s grains of truth peppered in throughout this piece but it’s light on quality sources.
Cities will have to become denser mixed use places. More car dependent suburban sprawl is not the answer. It’s been proven not fiscally sustainable.
Getting rid of the efficiencies defence is a good start.
The article also hints at a deeper problem of land use. Zoning is limiting the space where new competitors can establish themselves. The established conglomerates buy up what little land is available.
Provincial governments need to tax ground rents so the revenue gets used to foster competition, not lining billionaires’ pockets.
Municipalities need to open up the suburbs to become denser mixed use spaces, where small businesses can develop and thrive.
It would be nice to get to a doughnut economy where we can build a strong social foundation within the ecological boundaries of the planet, but of all things, worrying about recyclable, reusable, and rarely consumed eclipse glasses shouldn’t be our first priority
There are stores mentioned in the article. I also found this list on Reddit of North American suppliers from the American Astronomical Society
K3s is a distribution of Kubernetes that bundles in a few commonly used convenient tools. It’s fairly lightweight compared to vanilla k8s, and it’s simple to setup. It’s a great choice for experimenting and learning and also production ready when you’re ready to push it farther.
We need public options for the entire supply and distribution chain
This is still only one piece of the puzzle though. To restore affordability it would make sense to prioritize building and converting more existing stock to non-market housing so there’s competitive pressure on the remaining/existing landlords to keep rent low.
Vienna has done a wonderful job to show the world what’s possible after a century of continuous improvements with non market housing.
It’s exciting to see that the government could cut up to a year of development time with these blueprints. I’m curious what they’ll come up with that reflects the best of what modern BIM, digital twin, offsite manufacturing, CLT, and modular construction technologies can do.
Hopefully there will be a variety of to choose from for different kinds of environments and tastes. Personally I’d like to see some 6 storey apartments complexes, designed to accommodate car free lifestyles.

Hey OP, it’s a good idea to check to see if there’s already a post for an article in a community, it helps to keep the discussion in one place

NIMBYS will be the downfall of this country. We don’t need more feasibility studies, we need bold action, ambition, and an inclusive permissive environment.
Canada, like many other places, has tried to balance minority rights with democracy but lately it seems like we’re doing a bad job of it and subsequently failing to address people’s basic needs. Strong mayor powers were supposed to address this but the Bonnie Crombie is missing in action.
This outcome could have been avoided if she had voted to break the tie. It shows how unserious she is about addressing the housing crisis and how terrible she’d be as OLP leader, and maybe premier.
Not as much as they hope it will.
Electric or not, we need less cars in cities, not more. Rather than making the next generation of mildly more sustainable but just as dangerous and space inefficient road congestants, we should be thinking harder about how best to meet people’s mobility needs in more safe, sustainable, and effective ways.
People need options not more car dependency.
Those resources are better used to build up public transportation, (e-)bike shares, sidewalks, and the accompanying infrastructure to go with it all, with seamless handoffs between modes.
Electric cars are here to save the auto industry, not the planet.
China was considered a developing country with cheaper rates for a long time by the Universal Postal Union, an international agreement that sets the rates for postage. The agreement was renegotiated recently so maybe that will change.
