The +40% bylaw fine revenue, +14% parking fine revenue and +18% program revenue is something. Maybe it is possible.
But it does not feel like a recipe for a city with particularly good vibes.

"If an election was held today, we would almost certainly lose by an embarrassing and unacceptable margin to David Eby’s NDP despite their track record as the most destructive government this province has ever seen," it reads.
This is something to say.

Federal immigration agents part of the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” may soon leave Chicago, according to multiple sources who said the controversial mission was rapidly winding down after a contentious two months of enforcement raids that have set the city and suburbs on edge.
Federal Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino and agents said to be leaving Chicago, sources say
Cmdr. Gregory Bovino was expected to depart Chicago within days, while most Border Patrol agents under this command would soon be redeployed elsewhere, three sources told the Tribune Monday.
