There are two main ways to handle population growth: build out or build up. As Ottawa and Ontario forge ahead with unsustainable, car-centric sprawl, BC is investing in transit oriented development

I was shocked to learn that just 2% of B.C. police officers have fully cooperated during investigations into their conduct in the last five years.

Powerful, heart-wrenching public interest reporting here from @NancySMacdonald for @globeandmail #bcpoli

Police oversight bodies hindered by silence of officers, Globe analysis finds

When Canadian police kill or injure someone, they seldom face charges or discipline – and in B.C., they rarely co-operate with independent oversight bodies. The Globe reviewed thousands of cases to see the scope of the problem

There are places in Toronto where a big private spa would be wonderful. But not here. Ontario Place should be refreshed, rejuvenated and be part of a green, vibrant and public waterfront for us all.

My sustainability class just finished a module about disinformation. I had them write me a letter assuming they were flunking and arguing that they deserve an A, using the techniques of disinformation we discussed, like cherry picking, false experts and ad hominem. HOO-boy. 1/n

Falling house prices may seem like a good thing – but it’s renters who are paying the price

With first-time buyers unable to get a mortgage and landlords hiking up rents, it’s a vicious cycle, says economist Josh Ryan-Collins

This aft, I'm proposing we fix Ontario's health care staffing crisis by turning the lights back on in public ORs and filling every available shift.

To shorten wait times and get people the care they need faster.

It’ll cost less and deliver more.

I'll keep you posted. #onpoli
