Days after Trump's election I wrote about the three things Canada needed to do. I think a lot of people reached the same conclusions, but did we act on them? In short: surprisingly well, but not by a direct path. A thread on how these ideas fared theglobeandmail.com/gift/e33036f36…

FCM and municipal leaders from coast to coast to coast all look forward to working with Mark Carney and the Liberal Party to deliver results for Canadians and ensure prosperous, safer, and more resilient communities. That’s why we are calling for a National Prosperity

🇨🇦 CUTA looks forward to working with all parties to advance public transit priorities. From launching the Canada Public Transit Fund (CPTF), to improving safety and security, to better integrating transit with housing policy—collaboration will be key to building connected,

Major TransLink funding plan approved to improve service, avoid cuts dailyhive.com/vancouver/tran…

🚏 Today is great day for people and our economy. Together, TransLink's Mayors' Council and the province have secured a new Investment Plan that will expand service across the region & allow us to move forward with Bus Rapid Transit to the North Shore! News from TransLink North Shore Connects

God forbid we build coalitions at a time like this.

Congestion pricing is accelerating the decline in car crashes. Keep those cameras rolling.

Danielle Smith is playing fast and loose with the future of the country. It seems like a long shot that Alberta would vote to leave, but who knows what happens once you start down this path. It’s a live-ammo outing now. Utter insanity.

Without popular support for separation, she has seriously limited options. But Moscrop is exactly right: this is live ammo-stuff now, the way Brexit was, the way Trump as a candidate was. She is reckless, and part of a political movement of delusion and dishonesty. Very dangerous

Just asked a California transit manager if the state's Zero Emission Bus mandate is causing them to run less service than they otherwise would. He said: "Yes, definitely." A diesel bus only has to get 4 ppl out of cars to be better for the planet than an electric bus. Hmm.

x1000. For the love of god, please stop positioning zero-emission buses as climate action. Moving to ZEBs is good operational policy, but if one's interest is in reducing GHGs from transportation, then the 1st, 2nd and 3rd priority should be to increase service and mode share.

This unfashionable spike in immigration is the biggest economic failure of the Justin Trudeau years. It also changed the political consensus from “immigration is good” to “whoops!”

5. Good piece here from Scott Reid on the three things Carney needs to consider as he builds his government. #cdnpoli #bcpoli thehub.ca/2025/05/12/sco…

Congratulations to former Mayors’ Council Chair, Gregor Robertson on your appointment as Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada. A huge accomplishment. As you can imagine, we have some ideas for your new gig!

No one knows the housing, homelessness and infrastructure needs of Canada’s cities and communities better than local leaders. FCM President Rebecca Bligh, City Councillor welcomes former Vancouver Mayor and new Housing and Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson and discusses FCM’s

Today I wrote Minister of Housing and Infrastructure Gregor Robertson to share BC’s housing priorities. I look forward to working w/ him to deliver: •Community infrastructure •Revitalizing the DTES •Boosting home construction •Investing in First Nations & Indigenous housing

I have a lot of patience for protest. But these people, like the Ottawa occupiers, have violated the unwritten social contract that protects protest: At some point you need to piss off. This is especially true in this case, which is a 100% foreign issue.

There is nothing any Canadian government can do to influence the situation in gaza. Literally nothing. We are a mosquito in a hurricane. And not a big mosquito.

Mayors’ Council Chair Brad West and Metro Vancouver Chair Mike Hurley were in Ottawa talking to new Housing and Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson (a former MC Chair!) about the importance of local housing-supportive infrastructure like transit, water and waste water.

If you think that's bad, don't look at how much money the highway system (or military) loses annually.
