Thank you to everyone who supported me in the Federal Council elections, however I have formally withdrawn my membership this evening from the GPC. The @canadiangreens.bsky.social seem intent on collapsing, and I'm no longer going to stand in its way.

“The vacated homes were substantially cheaper than the new units and spanned diverse locations and housing types.”
When people move into new housing developments, they free up space in older housing. This is good for housing affordability and availability.

Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

While researching my current column, I had trouble finding something PM Carney said in a speech in either Factiva or Google, so I tried asking ChatGPT-5 to search for it. This was its internal response.
It hallucinates in basic searches. It can't write truth. It can't copyedit. What is it good for?

I'm so disappointed that people like @avilewis.ca are still using the Nazi site. He's supposed to be principled but can't say no to Nazis
What percentage of politicians in your country are still relying on this site as a primary means of public communication?
It feels slightly maddening that this isn't being treated as an extremely urgent problem.

This is a "recommended" tweet pushed to a (very much not-Nazi) contact's iPhone lockscreen last week.
Who knows how many millions it was pushed to by Musk's platform, including in this case, in the UK?
It's now been deleted, but only after getting thousands of RTs.
