Brian Merrett: "Municipalities need authority to protect and guide the repurposing of their heritage buildings. When we lose pieces of our past, we lose our history. Without history, we cannot knowledgeably form a future, we cannot properly educate our children and we cannot enjoy a broad perspective of visual witness to that history." https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/recalling-the-wreckers-ball-a-qa-on-the-van-horne-mansions-legacy #Montreal #QCPoli #cdnpoli #ProjetMontreal

Can we unpack 'coddle' please ? (apart from in the #climatechange sense).. '"Priorities may also be different from those of other countries. Canada ranks high on health, education and life satisfaction indicators; its leading cities, Calgary, Vancouver, and Toronto, are considered among the world’s best to live in. And the country consistently ranks among the top destinations for emigrants." #cdnpoli https://www.ft.com/content/67e97cc4-6ab0-4e78-b4a8-7c97b8e52ada

The BRICS Are Not the Anti-West, and Not Even a Bloc

Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa can keep holding summits. Geopolitically, that still won’t make them a thing.
