I think the Greenbelt thing was one thing - Doug allowing his buddies to profit using inside help - but this Skills Development thing is something else entirely: Doug giving our money to buddies to enrich them - and to help get Doug re-elected.

@mark-carney.bsky.social your behaviour without clarity of purpose is enabling this very bad behaviour ps. We need more than your economic ideas we need to hear about the fundamental daily living issues equally
We need real rent control. Permanently affordable, public, non-profit, and co-op homes. A fairer landlord and tenant board.
That's the fight. And I'm not backing down. (2/2)
