As seen in China, it only makes sense to build the city and then move people in. Intermittent building causes inefficiency as you have to build around people and people have to work around building.

Infilling keeps Canada separate and limited. As per the above we have to put the GTA people somewhere while we demo their homes.

If we can string together cities across Canada with rail that has a 30 minute to 1 hour between stops then it makes Canada function much stronger logistically and muvh more defensible.

The problem with Peterborough is kicking the people out to start building apartments and have no low density housing in the city.

That’s why it must be in an undeveloped place.

That’s halfway by road not halfway.

Also Belleville is closer to half on the 401 than Kingston.

Government is a bigger player, they are expanding existing metropolises instead of building new metropolises.

Instead of providing incentives for housing in suburbs around Toronto and Ottawa they could increase taxes on those cities to build a new one halfway between them, connect it via high speed rail. Then use the increased taxes in the other cities to offset taxes in the new one.

I just don’t imagine it’s many people.

You wrote a lot, rather than address it because I didn’t have much to add I just thanked you.

My comment would be seeing the NDP move to where the Liberals used to be is depressing but seeing the Conservatives move to the right of the US Democrats is worse.

However that doesn’t do justice to your effort.

Growing up we’re taught to hate them. Burning down their government building more than 200 years ago is a point of national pride.

NAFTA being a disaster for us just made it worse.

Then they probably think they are south of the border in the land of public prayer.

Historically Russia has questioned our sovereignty and claims our Arctic is theirs.

But the US is the bigger enemy.

Those are all private, not public life.

They leave their religion at the door when they leave their house or place of worship and it’s not in their lives until they go back to one of those places.

Religion is entirely a private matter in Canada so this wouldn’t effect people.

Yes.

A bunch but Discord is a website so if you installed anything then it’s spyware.

I agree with you but I wanted to thank you for sharing.

If I was better networked I would push for change.

All I really care about is how he will punish companies that operate in the US/people that travel there.

Hard to punish people leaving but entering or people in the country should face treason charges.

The party switch happened when Harper let the Reform Party take over the PC.

Your historic Liberal Party is the NDP. Carney was elected because he was a Conservative.

controversial amendment that would remove a religious exemption for hate speech from the Criminal Code.

How is that controversial?

Leader Pierre Poilievre posted on social media that the change would “criminalize sections of the Bible, Qur’an, Torah and other sacred texts.”

Again, how is that a bad thing?

When I say I want zero trade with the US it includes ICE.

Though if these were subject to a safety recall I wouldn’t complain.

My town had free dial up, when the switch to cable happened they abandoned it.
