I just saw this site that lists out all MLAs that are landlords.

Unpopular opinion:

I actually want politicians to be landlords or aspire to be landlords.

Then they'd realize: rent control doesn't work, and NIMBYs are obnoxious.

Put an artificial cap on rent, and you get a natural cap in housing creation.

Lift rent control, and watch the supply grow.

A political podcast. Just Listen.

Tune into this political podcast. Sandy and Nora Talk Politics is an experiment. Can radical politics be explained in digestible, engaging pieces? Can good faith debate lead us to better solutions? Can a podcast change everything that is rotten about Canada: our society, our economy and our politics? We think it can.

BC's new data centre cluster sparks new discussion of 'sovereign' AI push

Putting a data centre in Canada does not automatically mean Canada controls it. The servers may be inside Canada but the technology, software, customers or parent companies behind the project could still be foreign.

Was reading this article about #lng #fertilizer and #hormuz and wondering if #britishcolumbia could use some of its LNG capacity to produce fertilizer instead of exporting it as a #carbon based #fossilfuel

Long term, of course. There's an #infrastructure to be built up

Fertilizer shortages and rising fuel prices could trigger food crisis across Asia

The closing of the Strait of Hormuz has blocked exports of natural gas, a key input for nitrogen-based fertilizers
