It just occurred to me that this election is following the plot of The Notebook:

- A white house
- Mail that wasn’t received
- A lot of fighting
- It wasn’t over
- It still isn’t over

The planning department has posted a new, easy-to-read report about the development pipeline, pandemic be damned. If developers actually built the 148,800 units they had approvals for but have not yet started, we'd be at 88% of the province's forecasted population for *2051*

@jeffcantos I have no idea what this picture is about, but it looks like it could be a match for my current mood too

What happens at city hall has so much to do with our everyday lives yet it can be difficult to make sure citizen voices are heard. I wrote this guide in hopes of making things a little easier. Please share with your friends and neighbours: https://t.co/KILuxCEWOM

@idragovic26 Do you know for sure that he wrote it himself? It’s hard to believe anyone has that level of songwriting depth!

Happy 200th to the oldest organized sporting event in North America – the @StJohnsRegatta! I hope everyone had a great day around the pond at #RSJR200.

Dense Urbanism. Make it a conversation about cost and consequences. Sprawl is extremely subsidized. Cities and regions are starting to see pseudo-bankrupt conditions. The tax generation doesn’t match the cost. Not even close. @BrentToderian https://t.co/qM12gZp0kR

The dream of a big home in the city is dying, and that’s okay. We can have something better: a dense, walkable, liveable city. But to get there, we need to abandon the sob song about not “getting” a big house in the suburbs. https://t.co/7dYDFR5ZkW

I almost never say “Build it & they will come.” I sometimes say “Build, operate & maintain it well, in the right place, & stop building the dumb things that undermine it, & they will come.” Assuming “it” was the right thing in the first place. #avoidoversimplifications

Creating desirable housing alternatives (incl. rental, #missingmiddle) in the #GTHA is a must if we are to avoid the consequences of the #SpareBedroomBank

It’s a great irony of our times that parents driving their kids to school because they want to keep them safe endanger other kids that are walking to school. #VisionZero https://t.co/cao6xWKBQ2

Welcome to Newfoundland, where the only things salty is the air and the salt beef, and not the people.
