Or if you think the listener/reader stops listening/reading after the first 4 words of the statement.
Maybe I'm missing an important point, but the Ford gov's claim that "Landlords will lower rents if they can rent out more of their properties now that we've given them more power over tenants" feels like something you'd say if you'd never literally never heard of capitalism before in your life.

And if there won’t be any lost revenue due to increased reliability, where will he find funding for those infra/service improvements?
He’s also against bus and streetcar lanes so this, again, is all posturing

Once more with Mark Carney, we have to don a willing suspension of disbelief to convince ourselves he's pursuing a policy in our best national interests.
Once again, folks: any deal between Alberta and Ottawa that requires a) BC's approval, and b) significant support from coastal First Nations is a deal for a pipeline that will never happen.
If Carney can get Smith to agree to ratchet up industrial carbon pricing in exchange? That feels like a win.
