@emptybikelane The Clay We Are Made Of and We Share Our Matters are good books depending on how local you mean.

@anotherglassbox I like it.

Toronto's first (1955) post-war apartment complex was designed by architect Peter Caspari. The City Park Apartments included three 14-storey buildings & 774 rental units, making it the largest apartment building project in Canada at the time! https://t.co/ml05EMFYAq

Any chance of restoring our freedom to be free of the “freedom” political drivel?

I’m thrilled to share that I will be starting a new position as the Director of Communications at @CPC_HQ.

We will work to restore hope in a nation that will one day have a Prime Minister who will put people before politics and make Canada the freest country on earth! #Pierre4PM

@zbpipe Not exactly. He rolled the dice last week and his government's gambit (the public would side w/ the government) failed. His only hope: CUPE overplays their hand.

[RSF @rsfiedler]

@CameronKroetsch @MLHPigott @carlyconwayTV @TheSpec @CHCHNews Of course. Anytime.

When Colin Thatcher and Gary Lane left the Saskatchewan Liberal caucus to sit at PC’s, former Liberal leader Dave Steuart said “in one fell swoop they have raised the average IQ of both caucuses by 10%”

@r_quinla @LauraBabcock @AndreaHorwath @MooreintheAM @keaninloomis The answer would have to be yes.

Btw, for some KL supporters/voters the bridge is already there. It handles 2-way traffic and just needs to be walked across.

Yes. & this isn't a critique, but I feel like the concept of what people refer to as microaggression is relevant here. (Micro not to minimize impact but to refer to the transgressors attempt at subtely in an encounter). Dogwhistle & microgression are both tactics of racism. 1/3

[RSF @rsfiedler]

The original story/headline was bad. The ICYMI retweet was inexcusable.

These 👀 want to keep supporting our local daily paper in #HamOnt … plz don’t make it so hard.

@TheSpec you can and should do way better.

“If there was ever a time for fire in the belly and a radical politics of hope, it is now.”

As we grieve and honor the legacy of Mike Davis, we've made his classic book, City of Quartz, free to download.

The ending to one my favourite bedtime stories …

[Cameron Kroetsch @CameronKroetsch]

Well, #HamOnt, it's still sinking in, but we really did do it. I'm Councillor-Elect for Ward 2, and I'm really excited about it! I have a lot to share, but I wanted to start from a place of gratitude, and a bit of honesty, about what this result does and doesn't mean.

[RSF @rsfiedler]

@JDHMNT and maybe @TheSpec will take a hint and not make their sports guy an urban affairs columnist …

[RSF @rsfiedler]

@BaysideBadger Yes.

[Ⓜⓘⓚⓔ @BaysideBadger @BaysideBadger]

And we're just into the ripping into Larry portion of the evening on C14.

[RSF @rsfiedler]

Fingers crossed.

[stevan @ste_van_g]

Let's hope this is the last weekend of @jasonfarrhamont's Ward 2 and the start of @CameronKroetsch's change for the better!
