These clowns worry about the noise an ice cream or coffee shop on a residential corner might make, but they’re fine with the air and noise pollution of gas-powered leaf blowers. Like, buy a goddamn rake.
On the lawn equipment item, Councillor Stephen Holyday moves to replace the word "possible" in this motion with "practical and feasible." Sometimes you just gotta use a leaf blower, even on high AQHI days, he explains.

A general question related to constantly uttering statements like this: does this particular councillor say this just to be contrarian and appeal to a certain base that doesn’t like anything in life, or are they a legitimately miserable human being who must ensure everyone is as no fun as they are?
Councillor Holyday worries about retail stores that "sell some zany thing that has very little value." He wants to know if council could define a list of what stores can sell.
Staff say they can regulate things like size, noise and property standards, but generally not what stores sell.

So……those of us with back
issues, of which there are millions, have to traverse neighbourhoods full of speed bumps so that grown ass adults can’t regulate their speeds.
This is the cost we all pay for a lack of self control and responsibility to each other.

Holyday says it's very important Toronto as a municipal government support hockey. "If there's no one there to help the hockey community, I don't know how they will survive."

Each vehicle can carry over 150 passengers (>2x the crush load of a bus) and they're going to run them in trains of 2 (but the line is built for 3 so there's room to grow), so each one replaces 4+ buses. (1/2)
