Thanks for sharing this. My partner was at council and this exchange left a lasting impression for how ugly / uncomfortable it was. I’d been meaning to watch just to see who the bully was.

What the local politicians seem to be missing is that none of the additional housing tied to the transit funding has actually been built yet. Maybe the province is waiting to see those riders in new homes.

What a beauty

Damn. The preparation for such a theft is chilling. Good for everyone else to up security.

The dumb-ass cheques were to be stamped with Freeland’s name though, presumably allowing Carney to campaign against such frivolous waste in the months ahead.

I suspect that in the years before the housing shortage, developers had to compete more on amenities and design than they do now, when people just need somewhere to live and everything else is secondary (and proforma don’t allow for flashy amenity)

Incredible. Definitely couldn’t say that about those kids 10 years later.

3 different groups of people at the brewery were watching it on cellphones. I don’t think I’ve seen that for any World Series or Stanley cup before.

Just joined today too and very glad you did the same. I hope it sticks!
