If we are not going to abolish property tax, we need to at least make the property tax based on the land value only before improvements. People should not be financially punished with a tax for improving their own property.

If you claim to stand against authoritarianism, join us in demanding proportional representation—so no party can win a majority with just 30–40% of the vote. That’s how we protect our democracy. #cdnpoli #Election2025

I would simply ask the folks who keep saying things like "critics of zoning think democracy interferes with the market’s ability to generate abundance" to take the trouble to do the reading.

When first-past-the-post rewards one big-tent party on the right, decisions stop being local. Party leaders in Ottawa call the shots—and grassroots voices get sidelined. Proportional representation would end the gatekeeping by letting diverse voices win without vote-splitting.

When independent thinkers are punished for dissent, something’s broken. Proportional representation would end the need for one big-tent party on the Right—so principled Conservatives keep their voice without the "with us or against us" attitude. #cdnpoli #Election2025

Jack Layton made the clear case for proportional representation during the 2011 Leaders Debate. Will any leader have the courage to say the same tonight? 14 years later, Canadians are still waiting for a democracy where every vote counts. #cdnpoli #Election2025

In 2019, Don Davies opposed a rental apartment building in his riding. Can someone who opposes housing for being too tall be trusted to solve the housing crisis? 1/

1/18 “This is what a two-party system looks like.” — chantal hébert, CBC Election Night 2025 First-past-the-post is failing voters. It fuels division, strategic voting, and regional shutouts—while pushing Canada closer to U.S.-style hyperpolarization. #election2025 🧵

We punish those who build—and reward those who hoard. A land value tax changes that by shifting taxes off buildings and onto the value of the land itself.

It's official: it's a minority government! Canadians are demanding collaboration, not one-party rule. Let’s seize this moment and push for proportional representation—it's time to build a stronger, more united democracy! #cdnpoli

Excellent and interesting thread on moving from First Past The Post to Proportional Representation to ameliorate polarization in Canadian Politics. We now mirror the toxic 2-Party system in the USA. Try to find the time to read through. #FairVoteCanada

Shaughnessy is a heritage-protected neighborhood; mansions are legally mandatory. Why do we provide mansions for the rich instead of homes for everyone? We could allow apartments instead. 1/

Voter turnout goes way up with proportional representation. Germany, uses proportional representation, got an 84% voter turnout in its February 2025 election. That means young people voted. IF the Conservative Party were competing in a proportional representation election, it would be

I despise the idea of telling people to go back to their "ancestral homelands". The whole notion of indigeneity is absolutely fake. And also, this is the cause of wars and genocides. noahpinion.blog/p/no-you-are-n…

The usual story about how Proposition 13 contributed to the California housing crisis—it made housing development a fiscal net loser—is junk. Rather, it contributed by creating a generation of homeowners who simply didn't have to care about housing costs. My latest:

BREAKING: DENMARK REPEALS 1985 BAN ON NUCLEAR ENERGY The vote came and went in a matter of moments, with a murmer of astonishment across the gathered representatives. 71 for, 34 against Nuclear will now be explored by the Danish state. Incredible to be here for this.

If the NDP had prioritized electoral reform during the last six years of minority governments, they might have avoided this. They can’t make the same mistake again. It’s time to use their influence this time around to make proportional representation a reality. #cdnpoli
