Considering we have a multi-million dollar SkyTrain network and station sitting here, surrounded by a sea of single-family houses, approving this development is the right play. #vanpoli

"Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change."
The plans had seen pushback, but apparently Parisians voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to turn 500 streets over to pedestrians.

The Denman #Vancouver byelection vote line-up is still massive, winding around the block. Coal Harbour isn't any better.
Call me old-fashioned, but enabling accessible voting should be job #1 of any democratic government. On this count, the @cityofvancouver has failed. #vanpoli

Confirmed: City has only provided HALF the number of polling places than were available during 2017 by-election. Some polls are 15-20 mins but others 1+ hr wait.

It's byelection day in #Vancouver. There's a huge line-up at the West End Denman polling station, winding the block, that points to one of two things:
Massive turnout (usually not good for incumbents)
Or a massive fail in providing voting locations.

Corporate and income taxes were lowered when BC's carbon tax was introduced. Eby says those cuts won't be reversed when the consumer carbon tax ends #bcpoli

Canadian breweries face $330-million annual cost hike as aluminum tariffs hit beer cans
Consumers paying for the final product will likely see the trickle-down effect of a double tariff as cans will usually cross the border at least twice on the journey to becoming a six-pack

The U.S. acts like it's #Ukraine's sole backer, but it’s given just 0.51% of GDP in aid. Yes, Europe (esp. Germany, Italy, France, UK) must do more, but many smaller countries have given a larger share of GDP. Canada has given 0.45%—and there are no riots here.

Don't look now, but elected officials in Metro #Vancouver could be axing regional climate action work that's costs a dollar or two per household and helps build the local clean economy.
Opinion: Metro Vancouver's climate leadership is at risk
Potential cuts to programs would weaken Climate 2050 strategy and its road maps for reducing pollution in buildings and transportation, etc.

I did not know this. The 10% tarrrif on Canadian "energy", vs 25% on everything else, includes electricity, critical minerals, etc.
Canadian critical minerals companies not panicked by Trump tariff threat because of 10% carveout
The smaller proposed levy on Canadian energy also applies to a broad basket of the resource sector

Canada is the top export market of 33 U.S. states, including six swing states. Unprovoked American #tarrifs call for a robust and strong response. At the end of the day, this senseless economic terrorism will harm Canadian and American households, workers, and businesses. #cdnpoli #uspoli

It’s estimated that 1 Skytrain transit line in #MetroVancouver replaces between 20 & 26 lanes of freeway vehicle traffic. And then consider the amount of PARKING it replaces, how much pollution & GHG emissions it replaces, how much public cost it replaces.
