MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

One day someone will win a Nobel for the courageous struggle to bring democracy back to US after this regime.

I think Doug Ford benefits a lot from his Queen's Park opposition always tending to assume that his populist instincts are correct, and so they water down their criticism with too much nuance and hedging. He doesn't always know what voters want — sometimes it's just personal grievance.

The Venn diagram of urban density and average household GHG emissions is pretty much a circle. Interesting study on “Mapping household GHG emissions in the Greater Golden Horseshoe” from the University of Toronto School of Cities schoolofcities.utoronto.ca/mapping-hous...

He’s probably trying to get disqualified so he can cry foul and claim the process is rigged against him. It’s a lot easier than running a real campaign.

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

Gavin @governor.ca.gov as a Canadian and non-US citizen I must inform you that if you veto SB-79 my illegal alien dominion vote for you in the primary is as good as gone!

Ugh it’s already watered down to appease nimbys and it’s still not enough! He’s gotta just push ahead on this one and ignore the whiners. Memes are great but they won’t end the housing crisis.

Albanian PM Edi Rama mocked Trump to Macron: “You should congratulate Ilham Aliyev and me. Trump has ended the conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan”

Earlier Trump claimed he ended a war between Albania and Azerbaijan. It was a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

So Brad Bradford is running for mayor. Probably good for Chow but there is so much animus towards her I do still worry about a head to head even with someone as unlikable as Brad . #TOpoli

Part of that danger comes from spreading the falsehood that there was widespread celebration of Kirk’s murder on bluesky while virtually every single verified account and public figure completely condemned it while Tim Urban’s buddy Elon called for war and proclaimed the left is the party of murder

Do we have an accounting of lost revenue over this period given the fact that the growth induced by the TCJA was negligible?

Watching California nimby politics from the outside is wild until I remember i’m from Toronto.

It’s wild how much of Ezra’s interview with little Benny boy revolved around this as the radicalizing point for Ben and the right in general

"To Mr. Engardio, creating this slice of paradise was “absolutely” worth losing his job."

They wouldn’t have put a notorious real estate developer in charge if they wanted to meaningfully increase the public housing/co-op supply

Do we have a full view of parliament? Did anyone not stand?

Michael Mann is correct on this. Conservatives and climate change deniers are just mad he won that $1 million defamation case against the national review.

SB 79 — our bill allowing more housing near public transportation — just received final approval by the Senate & IS ON ITS WAY TO THE GOVERNOR!

This bill is a huge step for housing, transit & climate action. Thank you colleagues!

I know little about Charlie Kirk. Never paid attention to his dark, inane posts.
But I am appalled at his death.
Politics has been pushed to the point where extremist language leads to violence.
In a democracy there is no justification for the murder of a man over ideas.
This is a wake up call.

Why take ownership of this horror show away from the driver @globalnews.ca? A person did this, not an autonomous vehicle...jfc "Toddler dead, several others injured as vehicle crashes into Richmond Hill child care centre" globalnews.ca/news/1140759...

I was there the week before labour day and didn’t see a single sign for anyone
