Agreed on these questions. Board appointment should include municipal council. But once on the board their fiduciary responsibility is to the water system, not the city. Independent board members should hold balance of seats.

Why do cities ask households to pay upfront for the infrastructure that serves new homes when households are buried in debt to get the house? That’s what cities do with development charges - about half of which is for water and wastewater. Adds more than $50k to home prices.

A 🧵 on municipal political parties. I long thought that it was nice not to have parties at the municipal level, but that ignores a few realities: 1. Those partisan lines are already present. 2. Voter turnout is extremely low in municipal elections. Let me explain.
Canadian airport security is performative madness. I just did two domestic Australian flights. I showed my boarding pass once at boarding (nothing at security) and never showed any form of ID. I didn’t remove liquids or computer from my luggage at security… I even wore boots!
Had the honour of meeting the Rt.Hon. @BorisJohnson at #CSFN24. I thanked him for his steadfast support for @Israel and the Jewish people.
With great respect to my former prof, I think a lot of people would take issue with Don’s claim ending GST on rental 🏠 is “Swiss cheese… [populist] tax gimmick” It’s the single biggest measure in years to add new supply. Which we need to ⬇️ rent. But worth the read #cdnpoli
These 10 criteria for presenting a fiscally responsible budget may be demanding, but another D-grade fiscal document would be unacceptable. Read more about how Ottawa's 2024 budget can better serve Canadians: cdhowe.org/expert-op-eds/…

Peterson thinks it’s completely unknown if the Nazis were left or right wing. He had a study planned that could have resolved it but the damn woke mob stole his professorship before he could do it. So now it’s a completely open question.

Most PPC voters are not conservative. Many of them voted Green or even NDP in past elections. They are a weird populists who would never vote for a party that might win. They revel in their non-mainstream-edness. Chasing that vote is a fools errand.
@BenDachis @MikePMoffatt The charges are a subsidy to existing ratepayers. Ontario should move to curb them in absolute terms. Along with land transfer fees.

Exciting to see so much written about policy concept that would make a huge difference to reduce cost of housing from @MikePMoffatt & @jm_mcgrath. We need to look at shifting cost of sewer & water service from prop taxes & dev charges to a utility model. tvo.org/article/want-t…
