You're supposed to govern, not do a sales job. It was obvious at the meeting yesterday that you and your allies had failed to consider the full body of evidence and had a weak grasp of basic economics and policy. Don't do a victory lap. Think hard about how to fix this mess. It's your legacy.

I dream of the day when rich dudes don't tell me what happy
memories I might have
as a result of my paying high property taxes for their government handouts. I'm a lifelong feminist. I didn't work full-time for decades in order to subsidize rich white men from my pension.

Well, I live in Capital Ward, so I guess I can look forward to a winter of shovelling the snow on my street by hand, and rubbing two sticks together to make a fire so that I can melt snow for drinking water. But since Lansdowne is now a community centre, maybe OSEG will let me borrow some tap water

Don't even get me started on my family memories of fun drives to Civic Hospital Emergency, or my heartwarming memories of the jerks on QED heckling me on my bicycle. The fond memories of driving my son to school because the bus never came.

As the saying goes, I don't think they'll be bringing the potato salad to the Mensa picnic. They seem to have suddenly realized that the term "opportunity cost" is not their friend, but it sounds so "business-like," so how could it not be their friend?
