“Bankrupting municipal budgets, fuelling preventable diseases, & helping to cause climate change — that’s how you start a conversation about why suburbs need to change, & why more of our growth should go to infill and transit-oriented development.

On this day in 1944, the rum-running ship, the Malahat, sank off the coast of Vancouver Island. From 1920 to 1933, it smuggled liquor into the United States during Prohibition. The ship could carry thousands of bottles of liquor in each trip.
