“A complete balls up”. How about that for what might be quote of the day? That's how Christchurch city councillor Andrei Moore is describing the council's handling of the housing intensification row. It's a row that has been shut down for good by Housing and Resource Management Minister Chris Bishop, who has rejected Christchurch's bid to have its own, separate housing intensification rules. Which I have no problem with. If he had given-in to Christchurch, it would've opened the floodgates right around the country. So good on Chris Bishop. It's a final decision too, by the way. No correspondence will be entered into. The council can't blow any more money running off to the environment court. So Christchurch has to like it or lump it. What it's going to mean is high density, multi-level residential housing in the CBD (good), Riccarton (good), Hornby (good) and Linwood (good). Even if it means neighbouring properties losing sunlight. Which is not necessarily good - but that's just reality. We need to get over that. Not that I've felt that way from the outset. When these new rules were first proposed three years ago, I didn't like the sound of them. And there was no shortage of people saying they felt the same way. And I suspect that a lot of people will still be very unhappy about the prospect of a new place going up next to them and losing their sunlight. But that's just reality. I accept that now. Because what other option is there in a city where the population is only going in one direction? Do we want the city to spread out even further, chewing up land that is much better used for things like growing food? Of course, we don't. If there's one very small example of how the city has just kept on spreading outwards, it would be Musgroves - the second-hand building supplies outfit in Wigram. I'm still amazed at how that place is surrounded by buildings now. When I remember it being pretty much in the wops not all that long ago. And, if we don't allow the city to become more built-up, we're just going to see more and more houses built in places like Rolleston and Prebbleton. Which aren't in Christchurch - they're in the Selwyn district. Which means more and more people travelling into the city every day, using Christchurch's roading infrastructure but not paying a bean towards it. Because they pay their rates to Selwyn. But let's come back to councillor Andrei Moore - who is saying today that the council has ballsed this up. He said back in April that he thought it was nuts that the council was insisting on pushing back on more intensified housing in Christchurch. He said - and I agreed with him a hundred percent at the time (and I still do) that “it's high time we wake up and deal with the reality of city growth”. What's more, it hasn't been cheap. The most recent, available figures show that the council has spent about $7 million fighting the Government's proposals. It's not a total loss for the council. Three of its ideas have been accepted by the Government, which include increasing the building height limit on the old stockyards on Deans Ave to 36 metres. Mayor Phil Mauger says: “We obviously wanted to get our alternative recommendations approved. So, to only have three of them get the tick, is a kick in the guts.” As a result of the Government telling the city council to pull its head in, we're potentially or eventually going to see 10-storey apartment buildings within 600 metres of suburban shopping areas. Even if it means neighbouring properties losing sunlight. Urbanist group Greater Ōtautahi thinks it's brilliant and gives the city certainty. They say the quarter-acre dream of a standalone house on a large section is unsustainable. Spokesperson M. Grace-Stent says: “Not everyone wants to live the exact same lifestyle. Allowing more housing to be built allows people to make that choice for themselves.” They say: “We want people to be living near the city centre, near the amenities, not pushed out further and further into the Canterbury plains”. And they'll get no argument from me. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We were all standing up and cheering the Christchurch City Council three years ago, when it flipped the bird at the Government over housing intensification. Because there was no way we were going to agree to three, three-story houses being built on one section. But I've changed my thinking. Eventually, the city council kind-of pulled its head in. But it's still dragging the chain a bit and wants more time before agreeing to what the Government wants. But one city councillor, at least, thinks we should stop dragging the chain, that we should get with the programme and allow this intensification to happen. And I agree with him. I think he's making a very good point. Maybe it's because my stance on intensification has eased since 2022, when the council told the Government in no uncertain terms that it wasn't interested in having three, three-story houses on one section. And I think Christchurch city councillor Andrei Moore is making a very good argument in favour of greater housing density. Saying that, if we don't let it happen, more and more houses will be built in places like Rolleston and Prebbleton. Which are not in Christchurch, they're in the Selwyn District, and that will mean more and more people travelling into the city every day, using Christchurch's roading infrastructure and not paying a bean towards it. Because they don't live in Christchurch city - they live in Selwyn. And he's saying we should stop kicking the can down the road and just get on with it. Instead of spending another year resisting it, we need to accept that greater housing density is here whether we like it or not. He says: “It's high time we wake up and deal with the reality of city growth.” And I couldn't agree more. And yes, that does mean that my stance on intensification has changed, and there's nothing wrong with that. The plan originally was to let developments with three, three-storey properties to be built on one section pretty much anywhere. But it was modified a bit. Modified to restrict this level of intensification to the central city, around shopping centres and what's described as "walkable distances" from core public transport routes. Which is still pretty carte blanche when you think about shopping malls and areas on core public transport routes. As far as shopping malls go, we've got the likes of the Hub Hornby, Riccarton Mall, Bush Inn, the Tannery, Barrington Mall, Tower Junction, Eastgate Mall, Merivale Mall, Northlands Mall, Fendalton Mall, the Palms, Homebase, and the Colombo. Which means intensification getting the green light in Hornby, Riccarton, Opawa, Barrington, Linwood, Merivale all the way up to Northlands, Fendalton, Shirley, Sydenham and Beckenham. And, if that's how it has to be, then I'm with Andrei Moore and I agree with him that we need to bite the bullet and get on with it. Because A: we've got a housing affordability problem in this country, and the quarter-acre section is a thing of the past. So, if you want your kids to be able to afford to buy their own place, it's not going to be somewhere with a big backyard. So we need more apartments and townhouses - the places you get with greater housing density. And B: population growth is real. The numbers aren't massive, but they're real and expected to continue in the upwards direction. The city's population is around 396,000. Last year it was 1.2% up on the year before. Over the last five years, population growth in Christchurch has averaged 1.3% annually. Before the quakes, it was declining. There was an especially large jump in 2023, when the population in Christchurch city increased by 2.7%. And city councillors pushing back on greater housing density in Christchurch are ignoring the obvious. That, yes, backyards are great. Yes, Christchurch is supposed to be the garden city. And yes, the people against intensification are most likely to be the people who can be bothered to vote. But, if they put all that aside, they'd see that their colleague Andrei Moore is being realistic. And I agree with him that it's time for Christchurch to stop pushing back on greater housing intensification. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Jeremy and Gareth mull over the macro situation - the US economy seems to be slowing (but inflation persists) while Europe, especially Germany, has been bullied into spending more than ever. The UK, and arguably Europe, haven't yet seen much benefit from the outflow of capital from the MAG Seven, but remember, the whole German market cap is not dissimilar to the value of Microsoft - so there's a lot more to go for. UK companies discussed include STV, Forterra, Van Elle, Secure Trust Bank, Cakebox, Care REIT, Hornby and Science Group/Ricardo. Next week the big news is around interest rate decisions - in the USA, here in the UK and in Japan. Let's hope for no surprises (especially from Tokyo). 

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - One of the 2025 RIEP Virtual Forum presentations was a panel discussion of how the affordable housing societies were faring on eight rural islands. There were a lot of common themes running throughout their stories: difficulties obtaining funding through BC Housing, CMHC and other organizations whose requirements are drawn up for urban rather than rural areas; the cost of builing on remote islands; relationships with regional districts and Island Trust; and water issues. The moderator was Mike Hoebel from the Galiano Island Affordable Housing Society. Mike Hoebel: “The lack of affordable housing is truly a crisis in our communities and housing policy was a major item for discussion back at RIEP's 2023 In-Person Porum Gabriola. Today we're going to hear from a number of people about housing related initiatives underway in their communities.” “First we'll be hearing from Elizabeth FitzZaland from Salt Spring Solutions, then Adam, to talk about the Housing Now program, Bruin Black is going to share some information about the Cortes Housing Society's Initiatives. April Lewis from Hornby, Simon Palmer from Denman, Deb Goldman from Mayne, Avi Bryant here on Galiano and I'll share a bit of update about the Galiano Affordable Living Initiative Society's project on Galiano. Following the panel presentations we'll touch briefly on some advocacy issues to the province.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Around 100 people signed up for the Rural Islands Economic Partnership 2025 Virtual Forum. At least 10 were from Cortes Island and there were others from Quadra, Texada, Hornby, Denman, Cormorant, Malcolm and the Gulf Islands, as well as the Broughton Archipelago. Several of the topics were of great importance to islanders. One of the foremost was Aaron Cruikshank's analysis of the impact US tariffs will have on island economies and what we can do about it. Cruikshank is the founder of CTRS, a Market intelligence company from the Lower Mainland that has worked with hundreds of organizations and governments over the past 20 years. He began his analysis of President Trump's actions by stating,  “People are really focused on the tariffs, but the message I want to leave with everybody is it's actually trade policy uncertainty disrupting economic patterns. It creates volatility in global markets. It leads to reduced investment, supply chain disruptions, and a contraction in economic activity which hurts everybody. I don't care where you are in Canada, all of that is bad news, but I wanted to make clear that tariffs are just one example of something that contributes to trade policy uncertainty.  We're seeing others, and we'll continue to see others that are going to make these numbers rise.”   He put up a chart showing the relative uncertainty that Trump and some of the previous U. S. presidents have created in international trade markets. Aaron Cruikshank: “This chart goes back to 1960 and the index is based on the impact of policies. You see the baseline jumping up from 25 points to 100 points under Nixon and Ford, that was considered a very big deal in the 60s and 70s. Then in the 80s and 90s you had some spikes with Reagan and Bush. I believe the one with Reagan, or maybe it was Bush Sr., was to do with NAFTA.”  “If you look at these spikes that are happening  during the first Trump presidency, where we're getting into the 250 range. Very, very, very significant trade uncertainty policy. Then the most recent hockey stick growth there is just in the last couple of months where we're getting up into the 450, 500 range.  We're talking  more than an order of magnitude above baseline for trade policy uncertainty.  We also are hearing talk of President Trump or as I call him, ‘the orange turd,' wanting to renegotiate the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement, what some people refer to as NAFTA 2.0. That uncertainty makes people freak out. Threatening to withdraw from certain trade agreements makes the chart do this. Putting export controls on specific technologies or goods, that makes the chart do this, saying the US is only going to allow X amount of this good.” “That affects countries like Canada a lot because we end up exporting a lot of raw materials into the US: lumber, oil, metals, minerals, things like that. We supply 80 percent of the US potash, which is used for fertilizer to grow their food. So, they might be putting import caps on things like that. That makes markets go “woo.'”

Great product decisions don't just happen, they're crafted with careful thought and strategy. In this episode of Product Confidential, Phil Hornby, a seasoned product leader, dives into the critical aspects of product management, with a focus on decision-making and how AI is reshaping these processes. He reflects on the evolution of his book and the importance of thoughtful decision-making that balances data, evidence, and intuition. Phil also highlights the role of human accountability in decision-making, even as AI tools become more prevalent. He discusses the shift from feature-based to problem-based roadmaps, the need for tailored roadmaps to meet diverse audience needs, and the efficiency of streamlined roadmapping processes. Additionally, Phil emphasizes the value of discovery roadmaps in managing uncertainty and ensuring clarity throughout product development.Takeaways✅ Making a good product requires extensive discovery and research.✅ AI will become a standard tool in product management, but human decision-making remains crucial.✅ High-quality decisions are more important than labeling decisions as good or bad.✅ Data alone does not inform decisions; it must be interpreted alongside evidence and intuition.✅ Reflection on past decisions is key to improving decision-making skills.✅ Different organizations may prioritise intuition or data differently in their decision-making processes.✅ Combining data, anecdotes, and intuition leads to better decision-making outcomes.✅ The role of product managers will evolve as AI tools enhance productivity. Understanding your own emotions versus intuition is crucial.✅ Explicit thinking helps in making informed decisions.✅ Roadmaps should evolve from features to problems.✅ Tailoring roadmaps for different audiences enhances communication.✅ Efficient roadmapping should not consume excessive time.✅ Discovery roadmaps help clarify the unknowns in product development.✅ Visual storytelling can improve roadmap engagement.✅ Different views of roadmaps cater to various stakeholders.✅ Aligning roadmaps with strategic goals is essential for success.✅ Choosing the right tools for the conversation is key.

Other than Mitch Marner and Craig Berube having a chat over coffee, there hasn't been much going on in Leaf Land. But that doesn't mean there's a shortage of things to talk about when it comes to the Leafs! In this episode, before we get into the Leaf Talk, we take a bit of time to congratulate some Leafs that are enjoying some off-season success as well as weigh in on the PWHL Playoffs, and the incredible foundation that was laid this season for that league's future success! After a brief conversation covering a range of topics including NHL playoffs, we pivot to the Leafs headlines of the day, discussing player performances, assistant coaching changes, and potential team strategies for the off-season. In particular, we take a deeper dive into the way that the Maple Leafs organization has handled player development, and the potential impact a rumoured coaching hire may have on the Leafs' anemic power play, highlighted in some recent articles that caught our eye. Then, for The Third Period, we welcome back Lance Hornby from the Toronto Sun! Lance shares his insight into the Leafs' performance, player development, and the future of the team. We cover a range of topics related to the Toronto Maple Leafs, including coaching strategies, player contracts, and team dynamics. Of course the conversation would not have been complete if we didn't delve into the future of key players, namely Mitch Marner, so we discuss how things could play out, and also contemplate how he may ultimately be remembered as a Leaf. The NHL Draft and Free Agency are only a few weeks away and that's when we should start to get some more answers to the questions surrounding this Leafs team. We'll have you covered for all that and beyond as we'll be hitting the patio soon, bringing you reports all summer long! For those partaking in Stanley Cup Final viewing, enjoy! For the rest of us, GO Leafs Go! Takeaways The impact of new coaching staff on the Leafs' performance Player development and performance in the NHL playoffs Insights into the dynamics of the Stanley Cup playoffs Strategies for team improvement and success in the playoffs The importance of coaching strategies in getting players to buy into their roles for team success. The impact of player contracts and salary cap constraints on the team's ability to address key areas of improvement. The significance of team dynamics and the potential departure of key players on the future of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

durée : 00:06:53 - La chronique de Juliette Arnaud - par : Juliette ARNAUD - C'est la fin de la trêve hivernale pour le foot français. C'est-à-dire que les matchs reprennent. Pour l'occasion, Juliette a relu un classique de ce sport (oui oui, ça existe) : "Carton Jaune" de Nick Hornby, son écrivain anglais vivant préféré.

Nick Hornby has never written the phone book, to use an old expression.  But if he did, I'd read it.  Hornby is one of those writers who elicits unbridled enthusiasm from his unabashed admirers.  Count me in, thanks to books like High Fidelity, Fever Pitch and About A Boy.  He always had a love of reading and writing and music and sports.  But turning it into a lifetime of books and a way to make a living? That was more than a few years in coming.  But come it did.  How fortunate are we.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clare Hornby's 14-year-old fashion brand, Me+Em, has hit its stride. From 2021 to 2022, it grew its revenue from £46 million to £80 million. What's more, it's been profitable for seven years. That's despite selling exclusively direct-to-consumer, when, it seems, every digital native brand is falling back on wholesale partners.  "It was when I started building out the team that you started to see the [business's] acceleration," Hornby said on the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast. It's worth noting that MatchesFashion investor Highland Europe bought a minority stake in the company in early 2022. Me+Em, which specializes in "flattering, functional, forever" women's clothing, has opened seven stores in the U.K., where it is headquartered. But now, its focus is on U.S. expansion. Starting in March, it will open two stores in NYC, followed by one in the Hamptons, in rapid succession. The plan is to follow those up with fourth and fifth locations soon after. “We like you to bring in your dog, bring in your kid and bring in your partner, and we like you to dwell,” Hornby said. “As a result, our stores [form] communities, all by themselves.”

Helen Fielding, creator of the Bridget Jones novels and films, and Gill Hornby, author of the bestseller Miss Austen, join Sotheby's books specialist Kalika Sands and novelist Kate Mosse for a conversation in partnership with Sotheby's and held at Sotheby's in London about the enduring appeal of the 19th-century novelist Jane Austen. Fielding explains that when it came to turning her newspaper column about Bridget into a book, it seemed natural to borrow the tried and tested plot of Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Hornby reveals how she was inspired by real events when she created her fictional account of Austen's life. They discuss whether marriage or spinsterhood was the better option for a woman at that time, and debate exactly how we should interpret Austen's portrayal of Mrs Bennet, a figure desperate to marry off her four daughters, in Pride and Prejudice.
