Fredericton council continues to push province for ‘urgency’ on homelessness

>The first resolution council confirmed was to declare that the province is primarily responsible for “planning, funding, coordinating, delivering, and evaluating homelessness, housing, healthcare, mental health, addictions and social service systems,” while the city oversees land-use planning, city infrastructure, public spaces, safety and “mitigating municipal impacts.”

Fredericton council votes to help fix aging pools while it works to get new one

>Construction at the Fredericton Indoor Pool could start in April 2028 and would keep the pool closed for 12 to 18 months, DeGrace said. 

Those kinds of loose timelines make me think it will be much longer in the end.

Cause and effect.

Doug Ford's government is necropolitics. They decide who dies. Cyclists, drug users, etc.

Fun fact: Pierre Trudeau met his wife when she was 18 and married her when she was 22 and he was 51.

Guess we are lucky Epstien wasn't active in the 70s.

As a 50 yo male myself, this is fucked up. Eighteen year olds are still effectively children from my pov.

Took some nodes to a festival in NB

Was thrilled to see other nodes pop up. I texted them random messages. They replied. I was prepared to feel like a dork and not see any nodes. Next year I'm bringing nodes to give away and going to tell people on the fb page if they see a dude dancing with an ohm's law totem. The festival (futureforest.ca) is solidly outside cell phone range so I think it's a great test site.

How do mortgages work with a devalued currency?

Do those lucky enough to get paid in or have invested in western currency just get to pay off in a peso value that is massively devalued relative to their dollar income?

Carney caves on the Gordie Howe bridge.

From twitter:

>Here are some of the details on what Canada had to give up to open the Gordie Howe Bridge, as per a Canadian government source. For the first 15 years, Canada gets 50% of toll profits and the other 50% goes into a regional "economic development fund." What that fund does and who runs, is not clear Under the previous agreement, Canada was to receive 100% of toll profit until they were made whole on the $6.4B they spent to build the bridge, which Michigan/the US contributed $0. The agreement also says it could be 50+ years before Canada was whole, that timeline is now longer. The Americans will have to agree if Canada wants to increase the bridge tolls by more than 10%, or lower them below compared regional averages. That clause helps out the owners of the Ambassador Bridge, the Maroun family, who have donated to the Trump administration and previously to US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, to try and stop the new bridge from opening #cdnpoli
