Quebec, notably, is much less afflicted with the Anglo-Saxon pathological relationship with homebuilding
There’s a happiness gap between young people in Quebec and in the rest of Canada - Joshua Bujold, an upbeat psychology student in his first semester at Montreal’s Dawson College, was taken aback to find out that happiness among young Canadians has plunged.

Interesting single stair report from MN coming out - where they did a whole lot of data analysis and comparative life safety modeling.
In short, it adds substance to what we’ve been arguing:
Single stair is a lot safer than two stair buildings with long hallways, and much safer than single fam

“What does it mean that so many eoty lists are being topped by artists who aren’t on Spotify or are self-released” is a question with a pretty easy answer, which is that music critics are still doing an admirable job of exploring what’s out there despite the contraction of the market.

This paper forthcoming at the JOP provides evidence that rent control in Germany actually made tenants MASSIVELY *less* NIMBY.
This result was in the opposite direction of the authors' pre-registered expectations.
And the effect sizes are, truly, massive.

In recent years, the Greater Toronto Area has struggled to build and operate at-grade rail. Meanwhile, less than a two hour train ride away, Waterloo Region operates a pretty good light rail line that it recently built in a pretty reasonable way.

Everything you need is in the doc: character info, what you'd film, audition sides, etc. Deadline is Dec 20. Email [email protected].
Boosts very appreciated 💙

I'm starting to really believe that the only way to get a runaway success is for companies to fund like 20 new projects, 19 of them will either fail or make no impression, and then the 20th will resonate with audiences and create tons of merch opportunities like Bluey or KPop Demon Hunters

I quit Mark Carney’s cabinet. This is what I hope happens next
Canada is giving up too much for the sake of this grand bargain.
