Yes: "builders, analysts and academics alike are skeptical of whether it’s feasible."

@MarkJCarney promised half a million new homes a year within a decade!! @beynate

Shameful.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

First-past-the-post is pushing us toward a hyper-polarized, two-party system, fueling separatist talk when provinces feel shut out of Ottawa.

Proportional representation would mean more Liberals from the Prairies and more Conservatives from Toronto, reducing division.

Adam Vaughan is also trying to piecemeal the number of trees on West Island. Collectively, these trees formed an urban forest, an ecosystem & habitat for 100+ birds and animals, and a mental health oasis for Ontarians. #topoli #onpoli

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Albert Goodwin advocated for worker's rights and unions in British Columbia and pushed for better working conditions and pay for coal miners.
His killing by police led to Canada's first general strike and his memory is honoured to this day.
This is his story.

All this just to back Therme who wants to dump raw sewage directly into the West Channel so they can lakefill. You’ve taken the lake for granted, Adam. #topoli #onpoli #Shame

Extraordinary!

[Alex Bozikovic @alexbozikovic]

.@TOAdamVaughan joins @ThermeCanada. He’s now a collaborator in the destruction of a public park at Ontario Place and Ontario Science Centre.

He’s betraying the values of his father’s progressive-urbanist movement in the most craven manner.

Congrats.

In fact there is video! See Adam Vaughan (2019 version)’s comments from @Waterfront4All’s Rally to Save Ontario Place:
*Doug Ford’s real estate selloff approach to Ontario Place is wrong
*Great place to study the stewardship of water
What changed? #topoli #onpoli

Somewhere along the line Adam Vaughan fell out of love with natural beauty, and fell in love with Therme money. #topoli #onpoli

A million more housing starts in 5 years?

Approx 1.3 Mil starts expected by 2030 based on 2014-24 trend.
@PierrePoilievre program claims a GST reduction, "encouraging cities" & sale of federal land will result in 1 Mil more market housing starts.
How realistic is this?

@Diana_C_McNally @TorontoStar Yes. "everything about this request is reckless, abusive, and dangerous. To these 15 mayors and the Premier I say: solve the homelessness crisis. Protect the Charter. And do your damned jobs."

Big 🧵My latest column for @rabbleca

"Canada’s response to homelessness now constitutes a crime against humanity."

October 8 marks 26 years since advocates declared homelessness a national disaster....2

NDP MPPs running federally makes Parkdale-High Park, Ottawa Centre and Hamilton Mountain almost certain NDP pick ups

Federal wins will strengthen the local NDP and weaken the local Liberals, a big byelection and candidate recruitment advantage https://t.co/AW2aEo7P4K

No. Not less congestion and better service. These buses will replace old equipment, and more service depends on more opex subsidy which the feds refuse to pay. I am tired of BS claims about what eBuses will achieve.
