That’s what Canadian homeowners think too, which is why govt at all levels is moving so painfully slowly to do anything about housing.
“If we build more housing, the price of homes will go down, and homeowners will lose their wealth”

Trump admits what every homeowner blocking more housing is thinking.

These are arguments for breaking the law that would be widely recognized as psychotic if offered in any other context. But when we're drivers, we just feel entitled. I *wanna* go fast, so fuck you, fuck safety, fuck society.

Cars make us terrible people.

This is a true & effectively irrefutable argument ... which is why it's so fun to read the absolute cosmic nonsense in the comments.

"I need to go higher than the speed limit when I'm passing/avoiding something/driving in snow/feel like it!"
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

(15 in Manhattan btw)
There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

It took me a week to get to it but I'm enjoying reading Justice Feasby's judgment from last week on the secession referendum initiative. Lots of zingers sprinkled throughout the judgment but I particularly liked this one: #ableg #abpoli 2025 ABQB 712

If the UCP passes this bill, in honour of them removing language banning petitions that are unconstitutional or exceeds the jurisdiction of the legislature, we should petition to ban all current cabinet members from setting foot in Alberta. No rules!
It’s the “No Homers Club” Act of Alberta, 2025: Danielle Smith gov’t legislates to block Alberta Party’s bid to rename itself the Progressive Conservative Party, saying that United Conservative Party alone can have that C-word in its name. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Scientists tell Americans not to trust the CDC.

Instead of a global leader in science, the CDC has devolved into “a propaganda machine for RFK Jr.'s fixed, immutable, science-resistant theories,” said @pauloffit.bsky.social.

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

I held my nose and voted for Mark Carney and now he’s trying to pass mass deportation and surveillance bills, undermining Indigenous rights, and rolling over instantly for big oil at a time where Toronto sees wildfire smoke every year.

He’s a bum. Liberals wise the fuck up.
I never want to hear “you have to vote for the moderate to save us from conservatives” ever the fuck again.

That has only resulted in more conservative policy.

YOU need to vote for the leftist. It is a matter of survival for all of us.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?

An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.

I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

It will be interesting to see how overriding charter rights, forcing a rejected labour deal on workers, and threatening substantial fines will impact Alberta's plan to add and recruit 3,000 new teachers over the next 3 years.
