@1rasool @ronmortgageguy @OSFICanada @OSFIBSIF_leader Parliament could always amend the privacy act to allow CRA to provide this verification if there was any concern it’s offside the current law

@joshtpm @ekp Also, Nancy Pelosi’s easily the finest legislator since LBJ.

@ronmortgageguy $2.37M mortgage and poor credit or the banks won’t otherwise touch! That’s crazy

Reading through critics of Pamela Paula’s thoughtful piece nytimes.com/2022/07/03/opi… I’m struck they’re debunking the imaginary column they’d prefer she’d written (and reach next for ad hominem attacks).

@stroughtonsmith But I’d it really a gap or just room to spec the M1 Max Studio as you see fit?

@TexTexington @617to416 @liberal_party Fortunately it doesn’t. There’s no requirement for first past the post or single member districts in the constitution

In a just world, Annamie Paul and the Greens would win 30-40 seats after last night’s debate performance

@richardwclo @Schtaunkhauser I doorknocked with Jody. She led the charge. Fearless.

Can someone explain the logic to me of vaccines being scary and dangerous while a horse dewormer is safe, effective medicine?

@RachelNotley If you seek to persuade, frame things in terms of their values. For conservatives, duty, loyalty, and tradition. It’s a cliche, but start with the WW2 generation and their sacrifice. Maybe add in polio vax. Then tie it all in to protecting the kids

@mattyglesias Also, if we’re talking weird, let’s not forget the Oedipal vibes his mom gives off

@mattyglesias Unpopular opinion: Dune (the book) isn’t half as good as it’s reputed to be. Paul is heir to a planet, the end result of a millennium of breeding, the chosen one, a personal computer, and, for no apparent reason, intuits freeman ways. It reads like teenage wish fulfillment.

@TomDavidoff Wouldn’t it make more sense to negotiate that with the provinces? There’s only ten, they’re (slightly) less susceptible to nimbyism, and they control the municipal acts

@TomDavidoff The federal government has a huge carrot with their cash. If they’re willing to throw enough money at the provinces for transit and infrastructure, they could insist on an end to restrictive zoning in return

@StephenPunwasi Slightly late reply, but the scarce, public resource is land. Developers do add value when they build units on top, particularly dense ones
