If HST had been waived @HabitatWR would have had $1M more for affordable homes on Kehl Street.

It’s an exemption already in place for for-profit rentals.

@ElizabethMay and I are glad to support extending it for builders like @HabitatCanada.

We could do it by taxing REITs.

The core skills of learning are a critical eye and an open mind.

Critical thinking is refusing to accept ideas at face value. Don't believe information until it's verified.

Openness is refusing to reject ideas at face value. Don't disbelieve information until it's falsified.

That’s what I don’t get. Ban parking on major streets.

Cycle tracks are travel lanes, while street-side parking is just cheap, highly subsidized storage.

Being obsessed with happiness can make us unhappy.

Joy doesn't arise from ruminating about our emotions. It comes from immersing ourselves in worthwhile experiences.

Happiness is not a goal to pursue. It's a byproduct of leading a life of meaning and engagement.

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

After generations of isolating young families in suburbs and relegating older adults to nursing homes through our city and housing designs—with rather bleak outcomes for all—there is now a growing movement to reclaim what we’ve lost: a genuine sense of community, much like the village model.

The idea of aging surrounded by young people and children, ideally in a walkable neighbourhood where life is shared across generations, is far more appealing to me than the prospect of growing old in a seniors’ home.

Don't you agree?

It is sad (a tad disturbing and disconcerting).

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Every now and then you need to step back and remember just how deeply sad it is that this darkness and hatred is so normal.
