I build affordable housing for CityHousing Hamilton

@antonlodder I'm just waiting for speed limiters to come standard in all vehicles. I would like it if it varied by location but even if it was only 140 kmh it would help a lot.

[anton lodder @antonlodder]

not here to defend lunches or whatever but... this is not a lot of money.

Hamilton has 2 parkways, an elevated freeway, and thousands of kms of residential streets paved twice as wide as needed. WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX OUR FINANCES BY SKIPPING LUNCH

The irony is that the UCP spent $20million on an ad campaign telling other provinces this was going to happen to them unless they told the feds to be more like frickin berta. Irony so cold it nearly causes a blackout.

Prior to yesterday's EmergencyAlert on Alberta's rolling power blackouts & today's revelation that at least 7 power plants were offline, I'm guessing most of us did not know that electricity generators are allowed to hold back electricity in order to get a higher price from AESO.

@burrito_boyz the way your system notes allergies is a bit scary. I ordered online and flagged that I had a peanut allergy and the order says "+peanut" on the bottom. Can I suggest "+peanut allergy" or "+no peanut" as an update?

@alectranews #HamOnt still covered.

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

@alectranews can you please have these repainted? Hess St S and Jackson St W in Hamilton

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

@alectranews Any update on this? They are still covered with graffiti.

Carbon capture is really funny because the best and largest carbon capture facility in the world can offset the emissions from about 850 cars, PER YEAR.

You could do that, or you could paint some quality bike lanes and run 2 or 3 extra trains per hour for a greater impact.

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

@antonlodder I didn't even think about this possibility. I guess I really need a cargo bike now!

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

@antonlodder This is why the LRT is so important. It's such a key part of bringing more tax revenue to our city.

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

Victim blaming much? What about the driver!?!

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

Oh and we are back up!

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

Power out in St. Clair. I'm on Fairleigh Ave S between Cumberland and Delaware #hamont

[Rutger Bregman @rutgerbregman]

This is simply an extraordinary study. Researchers gave $7,500 (CAD) to homeless people in Vancouver. The result? The program *saved* money. It helped many of them to move into housing faster, which saved the shelter system $8,277 per person. 🧵👇

Ever wonder why pollsters don't ever ask, "I would like the top 10% to pay more of their income to prevent climate change"? 🤔

@NrinderWard3 are you on Mastadon?

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

@antonlodder I wish. Calgary to Edmonton would be a great high speed rail route.

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

@jnieuwenhuis17 Ford's bill 23 slashed municipalities income from new developments directly impacting their ability to fund affordable housing.

[Peter Vander Klippe @peter_vk]

We need to build more housing as fast as possible
