So I love how this clip is going viral but municipal brain is a disease everywhere.
Just last month a Toronto councillor spent several minutes wondering whether an affordable housing project should have a step back to mitigate smells from a shawarma shop next door (resulting in fewer “affordable” homes).
An important update for all of Ontario re: homelessness: the Superior Court has ruled in favour of encampment residents in Waterloo Region.
The Region is restrained from enforcing a by-law to clear an encampment until the constitutionality of the by-law can be determined.
If you are renting and your rent payment is similar to the mortgage payment you could qualify for on a similar home (granted, there are extra homeownership expenses) - would you make the jump?
Similarly, would you jump from homeownership to renting?
Yes? No? Why?
The Ontario new condo market is in it's 4th year of a correction:
Sales at 502 units in Q2 still breaking 30-year lows.
Activity declining 10% every quarter and dropped 69% from last year.
A reversion to the mean as they say.
What This Means
More owners are abandoning the sale route and leasing instead. In 2025, roughly 1 in 5 for-sale condo listings ended up rented — compared to ~1 in 7 last year. 5/
REPORT: Toronto has launched an expensive research initiative to investigate Canada's youth job crisis, and it has concluded that the issue is largely due to a lack of experience, rather than the influx of unvetted foreigners spilling into the country or mass immigration.
We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had Circus Circus. We had the Tropicana and the Excalibur. We had cheap slots, 24-hour wedding chapels, all-you-can eat buffets, shrimp cocktails on the house. You could have shut your mouth, kept the city affordable for middle-class tourists, and printed more money than you ever needed. But no, you just had to blow it up. You and your resort fees and your Michelin stars. Your Fontainebleau Hotel, Jean Georges Steakhouse, poolside cabana rentals, and Formula 1 Grand Prix. If you’d done your job, known your place, and stopped private equity from pricing out regular visitors, we all be fine right now. But you didn’t.
We’re going to spend like a quintillion dollars tunneling the 401 for 1 extra lane each direction?
I get that there will be transit too, but this fundamentally misunderstands how rail and highways are different. If we’re tunneling for transit, the stops should be at major destinations or other major transit connection points.
Doing all the high cost capital work to tunnel and making it along a major highway is almost the exact wrong approach to take. I cannot believe the province is doing this on the premier’s whim. It is totally unserious.
I’m convinced that everyone should take a big swing at some point in their life and experience what it’s like to truly go all in on a meaningful pursuit otherwise they grow bitter with age.
