Mostly talk about cities, people, ideally cities for people.
As I was standing in a crowded bus this morning, stuck in traffic for more than an hour, I remembered about what @paige did on Canada's telecom and banking oligopoly. I wonder if he’ll cover another vile market control: the slumlords/rail duopoly of Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPCK).

Comment une petite rue au nom coquin a fait tomber le régime français de la Nouvelle-France? Si je n'ai pas votre attention avec ça, je ne sais plus quoi dire.

@OhTheUrbanity Watched the last video. Did you have the chance to read this study from McGill about exactly that topic, specifically in the context of Montreal? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667091723000043

Projet structurant de l’Est | Un tramway pour une fraction du prix

C’est un tramway qui sera finalement recommandé au gouvernement Legault pour remplacer le REM de l’Est plutôt que le tracé souterrain à 36 milliards proposé l’été dernier, a appris La Presse. La facture serait réduite au moins de moitié pour atteindre environ 13 milliards.
