I suppose we can all take comfort in knowing that Clark Bezo is too inept to achieve his clearly-stated priorities as Councillor.
Thrilling to see Canadians continue avoiding the US, but the idea it's the result of the 51st state threat and tariffs feels overstated. To me, the prospect of potentially encountering insane state-sponsored violence or border issues is much more of a deterrent!

Canadians Continue One Year Of Declining Visits To U.S.
Unlike most travel boycotts, which tend to fizzle over time, Canadians show no sign of relenting on a national movement that cost the U.S. $4.5 billion in 2025.

Burton is calling traffic in south east a crisis.

Hunchak notes that Skywood is in tier 3 of phasing. Could wait until after Rosewood trunk completed which might not be until the 2050s. That reduces Skywood value by 90% #yqrcc

Yup, there’s no need to understand the job you have before you get the job. It’s just so hard to learn independently in this modern age where information is impossible to come by!!
Rashovich: This whole process is a little overwhelming, especially for a lay man. I'd appreciate some tutorials on lift stations & waste water. It's pretty difficult to make decisions. We're just relying on admin & what we're being told. #yqrcc

That’s right, most people wait until they have a job to learn what it’s about and how to be good at it. Very much normal behaviour.
Radons: When we took on this job, I honestly can say I've never learned so much about what's underground in our city. So thank you for that education. #yqrcc

Tsiklis: I'm not deciding what development goes next isn't up to me, admin decides that?
Admin: Yes. Admin is proposing this phasing plan.
T: So after it's approved, it's up to you. We don't have a system where councillors decide what development goes next. #yqrcc

No Councillor worth their salt would ever need to ask this question. Do your goddamn homework!

Heroic lifting by the passive voice there with “there was a decision.”
It cannot be overstated how enormously disruptive (and of course, consultation-free) was the unilateral change made by the province around how school sites were selected and funded.

Admin on servicing Rosewood school: That was before my time. We've been through files. There were discussion when joint use schools announced in 2014/15. We were selecting sites. Skywood was originally tagged for one. But there was a decision that it'd go into Rosewood. #yqrcc

I put on my Dismemberment Plan mix for my 13 year-old and she was not totally psyched at first. “I feel like it’s going to give me a seizure.”
Which I get!
But I didn’t expect this would be the track that would bring her around.

I truly cannot express how little I want to see podcasts on Netflix.
Please kindly take your de facto non-union talk shows and shove them. There might only be one and a half US network late night talk shows that are actually funny, but I'll take them over webcams of podcasts every time.

Yup, I sure do, and it's pretty hard to miss.
