It'd say the City of Toronto is being worse than Ticketmaster here, but at least with Ticketmaster you get to go to a concert after. Here the "benefit" is getting to pay a 15K tax on a 930K home.

One lesson of the Trump years: the US signature on an international agreement is worthless. There was an agreement in place to govern the bridge. Trump repudiated the agreement at behest of a donor with a direct anti-public-interest stake.

This is not a positive thing for Canada (or Australia or New Zealand for that matter). It’s due to making the price of homes shoot up due to artificial scarcity. While that may have helped the balance sheets of Boomers and Gen Xers, it’s created a massive underclass.

Canada should adopt behavioural science principles to improve #apprenticeship recruitment and completion rates in the skilled trades, according to research prepared for RESCON, @Onconstructnews reports at https://t.co/qPimnZTQMQ.

New piece! The End of Natural Population Growth Won’t End Canada's Housing Shortage

Deaths may soon outnumber births, but Canada is still on track to add millions of residents and millions more homes will be needed.

Yesterday in #Ottawa, alongside Minister @gregorrobertson, Minister @PBethlenfalvy, Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe and many other municipal and homebuilding partners, we announced the opening of the Development Charge Reduction Program. This federal-provincial program will fund up to $8.8 billion in housing-enabling infrastructure and save Ontarians tens of thousands of dollars on the cost of a new home. 🏡

Together, we’re kickstarting the housing sector and protecting the dream of homeownership. Together, we’re protecting over 100,000 jobs.

Together, we are taking action to Protect Ontario.

TD Economics' new report contains stark warning about Canada’s "silent brain drain"

"The core challenge is not in attracting world-class talent, but in anchoring that talent within its borders to build, scale, and lead globally competitive firms at home. Absent progress on this front, Canada will continue to be a feeder system for the U.S. innovation economy"

According to TD, Canada's "demotivating personal taxes" and "labyrinthine business taxes" are big contributors to the problem

@MikePMoffatt Congratulations Mike! Wonderful. PS. I once referred to friends wife (and only wife) as his “first wife”. Boneheaded on my part needless to say. 🤣

Without deliberate, co-ordinated reform across all orders of government, affordability of #housing will not return to historical norms for at least another decade - if at all, @RESCONprez writes in a column in @TheTorontoSun at https://t.co/ZwyIO5rykj.

Our planning approvals process is still largely paper-driven, siloed and opaque and it is time for a #PropTech and #ConTech revolution here in Canada, @RESCONprez writes in a column in On-Site Magazine at https://t.co/du51cbdyCK.
