Im sad. And when Im sad and feel hopeless I turn to Beaverton to make sure they’re still making proper fun of her along the way: “Danielle Smith: Teudeau Wants Albertans to have Teeth and I Won’t Stand for That.”, or “Local Woman Makes Hating Canada her Whole Personality and Wins Election”.

As long as it’s not X

TikTok’s been around for 8 years. I wonder what’ll be next.

What are the kids on instead?

GDP up, mostly government spending, per capital gdp and productivity is down. Would this affect a BoC rate decrease?

How do we help him get released?

Oh literally building wealth as a community:

Community land trusts, housing co-operatives, worker ownership, living wage programs, and other flagship initiatives of the community wealth building (CWB) movement are all finding their way into government policy, with each promising to keep the wealth created by a community circulating in that community.

We’re compensating and getting creative about getting by.

And then bell asks us why we’re depressed.

I thought this was going to be an Onion article

I’m not on social media except Lemmy but… I thought Facebook was the “my relatives” one and Twitter was more keeping up with politicians, celebrities, and other public figures?

Tinfoil hat time. Do you think Google intended this to work well? Or are we talking a lot more about Google and LLMs than we would have otherwise?

What’s a Chilliwack

There’s a whole universe in there eh?

Canada, no!

Really cutting edge.

What’s that?

Where do I start? Any recommendations that are easy and low maintenance and I can’t kill? I just planted a lawn of clover and some wildflowers but not sure how it’ll turn out.

BC, Vancouver’s province, has legislated the end of single family zoning as of summer this year. Vancouver specifically is allowing up to, if I recall correctly, 6 units per lot. BC is also giving a forgivable loan to homeowners to build additional units/housing on their lots.

I think it’s a positive step, and aggressive as far as housing policy goes. The local governments are scrambling around infrastructure, transit, and parking issues.

Maybe if they’d started addressing it 10 years ago though it wouldn’t be such a scramble.
