This is true for Québec to a lesser extent too

Supposedly there is a way using a macOS emulator, since Vanguard hasn’t been ported to macOS yet

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.

While this crossposted opinion piece is within the context of the UK, Canada can also draw inspiration from across the pond to solve the housing crisis.

While electric cars are an improvement over ICE vehicles that will help the planet, there’s still a lot more potential to decarbonize cities faster and help people get moving again by investing in alternatives to driving and upzoning everywhere permissively to legalize traditional development patterns ie mixed use, walkable, transit oriented streets.

But there cannot be a full renaissance without challenging progressive political power, which, unfortunately, has risen in Toronto.

Swing and miss by NatPo. Not that anyone should expect much from an opinion piece from any of a conservative American hedge fund’s papers.

NIMBYs can come in any political stripe and must be countered everywhere.

There’s grains of truth peppered in throughout this piece but it’s light on quality sources.

Cities will have to become denser mixed use places. More car dependent suburban sprawl is not the answer. It’s been proven not fiscally sustainable.

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.

Getting rid of the efficiencies defence is a good start.

The article also hints at a deeper problem of land use. Zoning is limiting the space where new competitors can establish themselves. The established conglomerates buy up what little land is available.

Provincial governments need to tax ground rents so the revenue gets used to foster competition, not lining billionaires’ pockets.

Municipalities need to open up the suburbs to become denser mixed use spaces, where small businesses can develop and thrive.

Mandating cyber insurance coverage could help as well and help align financial interests with cybersecurity ones

It would be nice to get to a doughnut economy where we can build a strong social foundation within the ecological boundaries of the planet, but of all things, worrying about recyclable, reusable, and rarely consumed eclipse glasses shouldn’t be our first priority
