But of course in my world nothing is political. And everything's about policy and governance. And maybe a bit of politics.

You know, the key issue is that city issues are not to be put in a box and say well, that's what the mayor wants. They're Canadian issues. Cities account for 75 percent of our GDP. If you don't have a plan for cities, it means you don't have a plan for the economy.

When we look at cutting people's commute - like that word infrastructure is boring. Who knows what that means? But what it really means is we got to cut people's commutes, we got to reduce congestion. Congestion costs the economy tens of billions of dollars a year to have people just stuck in traffic and non-productive time. So we got to fix that. And the best way to do that is invest in transit. And - so I'm happy that all three of the main parties seem to agree that investing in transit is important.

All three of the leaders looked like they were surprised to be asked about housing. And really none of them had anything interesting to say. And so this is something we need to push hard on to ensure that they understand that our housing crisis is really a major economic issue. It's not a social issue; it's an economic issue.

I'm happy that Canadians are having a good debate about infrastructure, and not whether it's important but more how we're going to pay for it.

We still need to hear more about things like water and wastewater infrastructure and community infrastructure, like local rinks and libraries. But at least we're much further on that debate than we were in the last federal election.

But of course in my world nothing is political. And everything's about policy and governance. And maybe a bit of politics.
