It should be a national embarrassment that Amtrak is able to serve Vancouver with 14 trains/week (and more planned) while VIA only comes to town twice a week. Not to mention the major Canadian cities that have no VIA service.

In my experience, when people say things like “you don’t understand, it works differently here,” it usually doesn’t and they’re usually wrong. Very disappointing development for the GTA.

Mr Au is simply shrugging off that responsibility and trying tell everyone it’s fine because he’s giving his salary to charity is rude. Who’s doing the work in council with his chair empty? Interesting that Mr Au is very worried about the cost of a local byelection but the leader of his party is not

The people of Richmond should be insulted that Mr. Au clearly doesn’t think city councillors do anything of value if leaving Richmond down one council member for the next 18mths is acceptable. Municipal govt has a bigger impact on our day to day lives than any other branch of govt.

I think the critique is focused on at least 1/7 of the NDP caucus finding out about the appointment through the media. The central party could have emailed the caucus or even had the new leader call them. Not a critique of MP Davies’ qualifications to be the interim leader.
