The raw capitalism that shirks all responsibility other than that of their 'shareholders' (and thus the shareholders) that we have allowed to blatantly direct our governments has zero interest in the quality of life other than their own. So, here we are - we allowed greed to set the agenda.

Imagine if, aside from all the other climate change things we could do, we’d stop expanding housing onto farmland/flood zones; we built up transit instead of roads; built sponge parks and invested in infrastructure; made cities more sustainable. All things also make quality of life better.

A two-day storm cost $840 million in losses. Extreme weather is the ‘new normal’ in Canada, say experts www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

Does Mark know he could do this for the photo op even just as cosplay to care? He can’t even bring himself to do it, cuz transit is for plebs, suckers and poor people or something Mandani uses transit as a mayor, and yet #ottawa pays for a private car and driver for our overlord

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 19h ago

We're redesigning 175 bus routes, representing over 70% of all routes in New York City, and the voices and experiences of New Yorkers are at the forefront of our planning. I joined Brooklyn bus riders for a Fast Buses Town Hall to talk about how we're making buses fast and improving service.

I used to work in stormwater drainage. I often notice how these areas gets filled with water, then ice, then slush, when it's cold. Back then, I lobbied the city to utilize ADA-compliant trench or slot drains that are very common in Europe. Here's an example on Argyle street in Halifax.

If Mamdani didn’t go he’d get yelled at for shirking his duties as the mayor of New York. If he went he’d get yelled at for being Muslim and being where he’s not wanted. He can never win in any scenario, that’s how the game is played when you are a bigot

Twenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc

20,000 people are now being evacuated in BC due to out of control wildfires. Multiple First Nations communities have completely burnt down in Canada this summer alone. Liberals and conservatives are owned by the oil and gas lobby and are accelerating societal collapse. Capitalism is a death cult

This will only ever be a thing if Taggart can buy the naming rights for it. Also this should have been line 1 in any real evaluation of Lansdowne in a city that gave a fuck about people. But nothing about Lansdowne was about people or liveability. We leave that to the NCC #ottawa

Same as IG comment: Edmonton (same climate) built a chemical free outdoor pool; it’s beautiful. It’s part of many beautiful well built public #PlacesForPeople that have garnered Edmonton 10 GG Awards in architecture & international recognition as a centre of design excellence; #OttCity hasn’t 1/
