Where's the "bullying"? An allegation was made during an open city council meeting. The journalist did their job to investigate a possible new story based on public information. The journalist used the proper channels to get information, the FOI request. Upon receiving the requested information, they proceeded to report on their findings. Before publishing, Councilor Caputo was invited to provide commentary, and refused. That's not bullying, that's the free press doing their job properly.
Constituency associations are NOT dissolved when an election is called. As a former executive of local constituency association, I can verify that is a lie. Let the conservative lie machine roll.
Curious about the quoted 1000 jobs. What will these 1000 people be doing? Can we get a list of potential job descriptions? Most data centers only require a handful of people to keep the lights on. The servers are doing the actual work.
Same building, same property but a tax break because people don't want to shop there? Do we get tax breaks when our kids grow up and move out? Tax laws in this country need to change
Return to office because that's what other guys are doing? Isn't that the same as the old peer pressure example of if everyone else jumps off the bridge then you should too? How about base decisions on actual facts? Employees are happier, healthier and more productive at home
Another provincial funding announcement and our provincial elected representative is not present. Where is Chris Scott and why is he not involved in this announcement?
These comments are making me sick. I grew up in this community. Most of my life included people taking pride in their community and volunteering a part of they time to pitch in and clean up a little. WE only get nice things if WE all pitch in to make this a better place.
Our current FPTP system is a mockery of democracy. Elected officials don't represent the people of their riding. Libs and Cons blindly vote with the party, even if it will hurt those that they represent. Candidates/parties outside of the big two are always underrepresented. You can't claim majority rule with less than 40% of the vote.
Can't go anywhere for 5 minutes without seeing someone on their phone while driving. Even at a stop light it's illegal to text and yet you see it too often.
A councilor is hired (elected) by the people to represent the people. City staff shouldn't have the power to remove them. They should only be removed by the public that elected them and not city staff who are not directly accountable to the public.
The DTA asked for local improvements paid for by everyone else. And while the improvements (that they asked for) are taking place, they want financial compensation for the inconvenience caused by the improvement process?
What is the status of the well water? Any commercial development would require access to safe drinking water. And it is illegal for draw drinking water directly from the lake for commercial use. If the water issue that closed the campground isn't resolved, then this whole RFP process is dead before it starts.
