Great to see the new modular addition at Lynn Fripps Elementary. These 150 new student seats give kids the space they need to learn, grow, and thrive. The bright classrooms and flexible learning areas are a fantastic addition for students and staff. 🌱✨

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

Happy #NationalHousingDay.
Grateful for my team and partners across sectors working to build a more inclusive Toronto. Housing is about dignity and belonging, and I’m committed to doing my part so everyone has a safe, secure and affordable home.

I'm going to be honest - I haven't listened to an interview with the mayor of my city before, but the one I'm listening to right now with @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social is painful.
The dystopic corporate speak of public servants as "team members" is red flag number 1.

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social there is a specific Throne in the Senate chamber for the monarch; the speaker doesn't use it. If I recall correctly, there's also a reserved toilet in Centre Block.

What the heck is this analysis
A remarkable take: the entire economy should be reshaped to protect everyone in the home they currently occupy. Sorry, immigrants, anyone who needs to move to a city, or anyone who would like to move out of their parents’ house. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Congrats to Vancouver's two new city councilors.
Land use policy is the single more powerful lever big city governments have.
Today it's still being used to ban apartments on the vast majority of land with highly destructive effects.

![In Vancouver, apartments are still not allowed on more than three quarters of the city's residential land. Here are 7 ways the apartment ban is hurting renters and perpetuating the housing.
We could house more people, but zoning doesn't allow this [pointing to an outline of an apartment building].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n7qcwqv6rmfnjhlf3lfqojec/bafkreihmty2aysvf43pjaepouesqyl5jvqz6b7zuhrborbrpoe6bkt5bcm@jpeg)

This makes sense. Their villainy is lazy. Nothing they do is well thought out, or thought out at all. Trump intuits some absurdity and his lackeys half-ass it into reality.
