Folks with self-described severe climate anxiety now reach out to me (& other climate scientists I know) essentially every week. It is often hard to know how to respond, since climate scientists are not trained clinical psychologists. (1/12) nytimes.com/2022/02/06/hea…

"The carbon tax was a litmus test for our collective ability to sort fact from fiction and put the interests of future generations ahead of our own. On both counts, we have failed miserably." Well put Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 nationalobserver.com/2024/09/16/opi…

Carbon pricing, like congestion pricing, is a proven public policy tool to drive real change. But politicians who "shamelessly exploit popular confusion” are nothing more than charlatans. With them at the helm, it’s all political games, no leadership. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.” — @mortenkabell

NEW: The lie that Hamas fighters beheaded babies on October 7 helped Israel drum up support for a planned genocide. Canadian media played a role in spreading this lie, even after it was debunked. Almost none have corrected their error. readthemaple.com/media-lies-abo…

Tune in to PDC today to see if Council has finally learned from past mistakes that prioritize "character" (restrictions to limit density, mixed-use, quality, accessibility, sustainability) and perpetuating car culture.

Happening now: “Gaza burns, Wall Street booms! Arms embargo now!” An estimated 500 members of Jewish Voice for Peace NYC have rushed the New York Stock Exchange, chaining themselves to entrances and an exterior fence. Security tried, and failed, to impede the masses.

A vocal minority, awash in misinformation, with allies across government. The NIMBY, anti-bike, anti (transportation) choice and pro-congestion micro-lobby seems to have won. And the damage will be far beyond Bloor Street, affecting the entire province. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Once again, the provincial government is meddling in local decision-making rather than focusing on what they are responsible for. What our city needs is for them to stay in their lane: fixing healthcare, helping get people housed, and creating good jobs.

People over Parking! 🪙Yesterday at #Mississauga Council we reduced a $246,432 tax on affordable housing to $2 🏡There are over 12,000 neighbours on the wait list for these kind of homes in our city 🔨We need to remove these kinds of road blocks and build affordable housing

📢 Sign up and add your voice! Ever wonder why your only home choices seem to be 4-bdrm sprawl homes, or 1-bdrm condos? It's because Mississauga doesn't allow many other housing types. Re-zone for more semi-detached homes across the city. Let's build more missing middle homes.

Talk about entitlement! HAF $ is based on meeting housing targets. #mississauga has repeatedly failed to do so, and shows no signs of improvement. This is just embarrassing. Earn the HAF $, or explain to residents why taxes are going up. thestar.com/politics/feder…

Why isn't #onpoli's housing supply keeping up with housing need? New expert report commissioned by my @EnviroDefence team: Ontario governments' restrictions on mid-rise apartment buildings have been making it impossible to end the housing shortage.🧵👇 environmentaldefence.ca/2024/11/13/new…
