Seems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

I do think its kind of undercovered how big the wind energy expansion is in Nova Scotia I think we have something like 2.8 GWs, and we're expecting to break ground on 1.2 GWs of onshore (some fraction of that in practice) by 2028 and calls for bids on leases up to 5 GWs starting this year

"Housing delayed is housing denied" isn't just a saying. There are carrying costs associated with delays. Non-profits don't have a lot of room in their budgets. So affordable units get reduced. If we're asking for more consultation, let's tell the public the price tag. In this case, $9 million.

“That building cost us $9 million more than it would have originally, because it took so long to get a development permit,” says Greenwood-Lee. “What that meant was we had less deeply affordable units.”

Another window into why even non-profit housing is so expensive. Saanich delays led to an extra $9milliom (!!) in costs. No one in Saanich is held accountable so they keep dragging their feet and increasing costs. bcbusiness.ca/real-estate/...

Canada is in a place now where food that we grow here often gets shipped internationally for processing, before being shipped *back here* for purchase. That just doesn't make sense, especially when we're trying to cut back on transport emissions. Very glad to see some movement towards fixing this.
