You can’t reach everywhere with fibre. Some areas of the far north are too remote and too sparsely populated for it to ever make sense to put in fibre, and it will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

This deal provides critical infrastructure to those places while not binding us to the whims of an egotistical fascist asshole.

A study of the Swedish school lunch program found that

exposure to the school lunch program had substantial effects on educational attainment and health and these effects can explain a large part of the return to school lunches.

… and …

pupils exposed to the program during their entire primary school period have 3 percent greater life-time earnings.

If this is administered well in Canada, with fresh nutritious food, I’m all for it.

You can always reach out to the maintainers to see. Some of them might have behind the scenes work going on, others might consider the crate complete if it’s already hit 1.0.0.

I don’t think you’ll find a one size fits all answer here, it depends the crate.

It’s exciting to see that the government could cut up to a year of development time with these blueprints. I’m curious what they’ll come up with that reflects the best of what modern BIM, digital twin, offsite manufacturing, CLT, and modular construction technologies can do.

Hopefully there will be a variety of to choose from for different kinds of environments and tastes. Personally I’d like to see some 6 storey apartments complexes, designed to accommodate car free lifestyles.

Because of competition

We don’t do that well in Canada

NIMBYS will be the downfall of this country. We don’t need more feasibility studies, we need bold action, ambition, and an inclusive permissive environment.

Canada, like many other places, has tried to balance minority rights with democracy but lately it seems like we’re doing a bad job of it and subsequently failing to address people’s basic needs. Strong mayor powers were supposed to address this but the Bonnie Crombie is missing in action.

This outcome could have been avoided if she had voted to break the tie. It shows how unserious she is about addressing the housing crisis and how terrible she’d be as OLP leader, and maybe premier.

The Netherlands has annual reassessments, Denmark’s are biannual, and Sweden’s are every 3 years.

It’s been 6 years in Ontario.

Fair and productive property taxes require both good initial assessment and periodic re-evaluation to reflect changes in value.

These delays are contributing to an unfairness in our tax system and subsidizing the rich at the expense of the poor.

See this paper for more great information on property taxes and their reform: https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/bitstream/1807/81246/1/imfg_paper_21_slack_bird_sept19_2015.pdf

The Rust community has usually favoured more permissive licenses for some reason
