Helped Carney, who was quiet in French. Ultimately, I think this is a draw.

This is fantastic work and greatly appreciated by residents across downtown.
I just hope that all parties to this policy reflect on how they contributed to a policy backlash. These policies can be made stronger by such an exercise and avoid needless harm in the future.

Failure to adopt 'Good neighbour' policies, failure to take nearby residents concerns seriously, failure to clean up drug paraphernalia around their sites, failure to do outreach... there are many, many administrative failures here that absolutely rest with site management.

Unfortunately, service providers must also accept some of the blame for this policy change. Their failure to manage the social disorder around their sites led to a sustained backlash from the public.
Ford didn't take these steps in a political vacuum.
