Canadian city populations (CMA) for 2025 are out. Big growth over the past 4 years.

Toronto over 7 million.
Calgary nearing 2 million.
Winnipeg so close to 1 million!
Halifax over half million.
Victoria almost half million.
Saskatoon pulling away from Regina.

Why Are New Construction Starts Falling Off A Cliff In Ontario & BC? And Why Won't Government Acknowledge It

The "Why" Starts are cratering isn't complicated I have been posting about for months but "Why" no Government comment? It's so scary for them

Because it's fatal

If you want to understand a huge divide in Toronto and WHY people are so hyped about the Ontario Line look at the main transit project Toronto built in the 2010s (Eglinton Crosstown) vs. the main one for the 2020s (Ontario Line). Not to mention we needed the OL for decades!

This Video Is Ridiculously FALSE

I Believe The Housing Minister is an intelligent, well intentioned person

Virtually every word is false with the possible exception of "and" & "the"

The falsehoods:

1) Millions of Renters want to buy homes..... except they're unaffordable

Because nothing is impossible and libraries are amazing community resources that can be anything we want them to be, here's a thread of playgrounds inside of libraries all around the world.

6 storeys next to a house is fine. We do not need to overthink and overplan this.

It's like we figured out how to unlearn transit service...

Accidentally perfect advertisement for trains

It’s hard to imagine a much better metaphor for Canada’s approach to public space than commissioning an art piece of a pile of unusable chairs

😂…props to the cam op on this one.

We can’t let city staff ruin a great thing. #CafeTO is a legacy of the pandemic that actually made Toronto more enjoyable. @BravoDavenport - please help our bar, café and restaurant owners with their patios, regardless of ward boundaries #TOpoli

[Volo @barvolo]

After months of waiting we learned today @cityoftoronto has denied our #CafeTO patio at Bar Volo this year. We are disappointed by the news after having a patio for 3 years w. no issues. There needs to be more support for small businesses creating culture & community in our city!

What's REALLY Different Today Versus The 1990 Real Estate Price Drop? Banks Can Save You

In 1990 in Ontario we experienced effectively the same thing as today: after a WILD price run-up 1985 - 1989 Interest Rates soared and all hell broke loose

Very similar to now

For the first time, CMHC is tracking rent growth for turnover (ie. vacated) units. Nearly 30% spike in rents in the Toronto area in a year.

With time still left in the 2022 tax year, I just donated to Scholarships and Student Aid @mcgillu to help reduce the financial barriers to education. Student Aid supported me in my final year at uni - https://t.co/GJxWyippY2
