Isn't it though? They keep voting in people who keep making these kinds of deals.

Should Carney try a constitutional amendment?
Those didn't go so well the last couple times.
It was a bit of a fatal flaw for the Bill of Rights that we somehow managed to avoid coming to terms with for ...40ish years?

💯 And take note, dear public, of the fact it is mostly populists and parties ideologically opposed to considering evidence who call for defunding or the privatization of CBC.

I don't disagree OPs shouldn't be rigid and definitely need to leave room for each muni to be creative. I also think there's room to make these documents clearer, more user friendly, more accessible for citizens and planners.

The official plan stuff is not that much different than what Victoria AUS did, plus who knows if it is even possible at this point.
The bike lane / bus lane stuff is way more insidious and awful. Focus there.
