Commentary about Rick Bell aside, is the value in a single family home the fact that it’s surrounded by other SFHs as to achieve some sort of “neighborhood character”? Municipal leaders who think they need to protect the interests of their constituents, or whatever bullshit, what exactly are they protecting? Wouldn’t SFHs become more valuable if other types of housing went up around them? #alberta#cdnpoli#canada#housing
David Cochrane interviewing Andrew Layton about Pierre Polievere so dude can shill is book which seems like fanboy fiction it’s unfortunately not surprising. Like, my guy, the fact that 98% of PP’s beliefs are still the same as when he was in college isn’t a bonafide that most people would be proud of. I mean, if you have paid any attention to who he is, it’s not surprising #cdnpoli#cbc
"We must ensure a two way arms embargo on Israel. We must support the work of the ICJ and the ICC and we must ensure sanctions are put in place against Israel's war cabinet including Netanyahu, now."
Blake Desjarlais, Member of Parliament for Edmonton Griesbach, Canada
Allow me to be the first on Canadian Mastodon to say:
This is not going to end well for anyone.
"Treasury Board President Anita Anand says she wants to increase the use of artificial intelligence in Canada's public service but insists there's no question of using AI tools like ChatGPT for confidential information like cabinet documents.”
Aside: In a way, the rise of "AI" truly has emphasized the word “Artificial" in Artificial Intelligence. lol
It's Part One of the plan. Israel's i24News just published Part Two of the plan between the 1pm and 2pm hour (CDT, that is): selling new luxury residence developments by hawking Tel Aviv real estate but making a point on the side that "peripheral" sites are cheaper. 3 different real estate developers were featured plus legal advice via a real estate lawyer.

This company should be kicked out of Canada. We also need to see their #financials because they're #corrupt. The company should be banned from all business in Canada.
Apparently I’ll be getting the wondrous $7.85 from this LifeLabs “settlement”… I’m giddy that I’ll be able to buy a round trip pass on OC Transpo with this 🙃 curious what else I can buy with $7.86. Maybe we all pool our big earnings off of stolen data for purchasing power? #onpoli#cdnpoli#ottawa
The documentary was not broadcast in #Canada. Hansen said the reason B.C.’s wood pellet industry is a focus in #UnitedKingdom is the #Drax Power Station in #England.
#BCNDP#ChiefForester Diane Nicholls attended a #WoodPellet#TradeShow in 2019. After supporting the industry’s controversial growth in BC, she left the ministry of forests for a job with the UK company that now dominates the new industry in #BritishColumbia.
This analysis focuses on north central BC, where all material feeding #Drax’s pellet mills originates from #PrimaryForest, whether it arrives directly from #logging operations or byproduct from sawmills. Majority of commercial logging taking place in BC is of #OldGrowth#forests.
It makes sense that Ford would call an election because there is no opposition, voter turnout out would probably be the same as last time, the PCs have been using our $$$ non-stop the past few months to highlight their successes and because if PP wins, well there is historical precedent that shows the province would dump his provincial affiliation to the federal #ontario#ottawa#onpoli#cdnpolihttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/alcohol-sales-convenience-stores-ontario-1.7213546
My experiments going out with my CO2 monitor are discouraging. Tonight, with COVID in wastewater at its lowest in 11 months in my city, we went out to eat. We hoped for outdoor dining, but it rained, so we sat inside. CO2 readings:
4:30 pm: 50% crowd in a brewpub: 1548
5:45 pm: 75% crowd in a Mexican restaurant: 1341
7:45 pm: Long line at ice cream shop: 1896
I thought businesses upgraded air filtration & ventilation, but these readings encourage me to stay home. #COVID19 taught us nothing.
@augieray there is no incentive - either tax provisions, encouragement by public health, grants, or even public pressure
the entire clean air movement is being actively suppressed, you can't bring C02 monitors into schools in British Columbia, as a staff member or student - school boards, local, provincial and national politicians run away at the very suggestion
and it's literally the cheapest and simplest thing they could do
So,Canada is in a position to cut of essential war machine minerals to a dependent US if it deems it appropriate to do so .
The U.S. military has, for the first time in generations, spent public money on minerals projects inside Canada: nearly $15 million US to mine and process copper, gold, graphite and cobalt in Quebec and the Northwest Territories.
"Israel is brazenly flouting an order of a court it appeared before. It is indiscriminately killing civilians seeking refuge. This is a flagrant violation of the rule of law and a war crime. It is time the international community put sanctions on Israel as it did to South Africa."
Don Davies, Member of Parliament, Vancouver Kingsway, Canada
“Risks vary from country to country but they can include diseases or pests that might negatively impact the #Canadian#bee population including tropilaelaps mites, killer bees, small hive beetles, amitraz-resistant varroa mites & oxytetracycline-resistant American foulbrood,”.
Because of this, Olthof said there is pressure from federal & provincial governments for #beekeepers to reduce their reliance on foreign #QueenBees.
Members of the #Heiltsuk Nation in #BellaBella are calling for immediate suspension & removal of an #RCMP officer stationed in the remote coastal community for reportedly making #racist comments on social media.
One screenshot shows the officer posing in front of the Union Jack in #colonial regalia with the comment, “Now, whats to be done about these pesky #natives stirring up trouble in the colonies…?”
The project, announced two years ago, will see the six-storey, 60,000-square-metre downtown building turned into an #Indigenous hub of housing, social services, government offices & cultural space.
