Why would it take 1M per unit for a new development? Is it due to the high cost of labor in BC?

Could major unions hypothetically create a housing co-op fund that would initially be funded by an optional "fee", then later sustained by rent? That would incentivize people to join such unions, the unions would be able to use their large network of members (which requires zero effort to join) to quickly raise funds (smaller unions could pool with each other). That can be used to build affordable housing, which would have otherwise been built by for-profit corporations.

However, Davidson also ruled there must be enough room in homeless shelters for displaced people and the camp must receive notice prior to the evictions. Without space in shelters police may only close those canps at risk to public health and safety, the judge added.

Now, the question is how the matching will work, if there's any plan to match them.

But Ottawa had few details yet on what the program will look like for dental care providers. It's still unclear how dentist will sign up, how the billing process will work, and whether what Ottawa pays for scaling, filings, extractions and other services will match what current private insurance plans pay.

Sounds like Ottawa is not really communicating their thoughts; or maybe even they don't really know what they are supposed to be doing? Is it all trial and error for now and until they find out what works before scaling?

I spent >100$ on concert tickets to listen to artists I found on Spotify. Probably would not have spent this money nor discovered those artists by listening to 50 songs downloaded 10 years ago from Limewire.

Why would they not use prime? They are all owned by Amazon after all!

Hydro is also quite independent but it's heavily dependent on geography. That's how Canada is able to be much ahead in renewable energy.

DP World will wind up with Hyperloop One’s intellectual property, Bloomberg reports, while the rest of its hard assets — including a test track outside Las Vegas and other machinery — will be sold off.

Wonder how much of the value (if any) was in the IP, which will be solely owned by a company mainly focused on maritime trade.

Denis Coderre avait aussi perdu beaucoup de poids après qu'il a arrêté d'être maire.
