This feels like this was intentionally written in a way to spark more hate comments towards Angela... hope that wasn't the intention of this outlet. Imagine an article outlining Terry Sheehan or Ross Romano's ongoing projects as: "a caboodle of new callings"...dismissive language for someone trying to actively uplift democracy. I wish our current and future councilors all the best in navigating this challenge.
I'm proud of our prime minister. I know this comment section will be filled with anger, but outside of sootoday I'm seeing so much positive response to this speech from Canadians and political experts from around the world.
Hopefully other departments within the city take Emily seriously and implement some of her ideas and initiatives; thank you for working hard to protect the health and environment of our city.
Love to see the community engagement here. I know this team works really hard to get the right information to everyone in ssm and answer all our questions. To the Waste management crew: all your efforts are appreciated.
The audacity to live here for only four years...as a student...with no full time career experience, running without even completing his degree first, acting like he knows what's best for this city? This is obviously an entitled bid for personal gain.
The library does need tiktok to stay engaged and relevant with current book trends. Anyone saying otherwise is incredibly out of touch with what the younger generation wants and needs. Why discourage reading in any capacity?
We need more and better planning for this space. As someone who has gone out to these events to try and support- many have been disappointing. Midnight Madness was really nice and filled with people, lights, and laughter. If we as a city are going to fund this, the city also needs to invest in proper planning all year long. There should be something that draws you to the space every weekend. Food vendors and MRKT have been really lovely- they just need support to thrive.
If we are going to create a system where a post-secondary degree is necessary for a career of any kind, then we can't put it behind such an extreme paywall. I saw a job posting today that required a university degree for a minimum wage call center position. Entry-level positions are asking for a diploma or a degree, AND work experience. It isn't a privilege to attend post-secondary school anymore, it is a necessity for survival.
The DTA has really tried to engage with youth and students in a way the city hasn't been able to for revitalization efforts in the downtown. Hopefully the city will be able to incorporate this passion and care, instead of leaving the downtown to continue to degrade and collapse. A healthy community needs a healthy heart- a healthy and thriving downtown sector for people to gather, shop, and explore.
Cafe for Good is so wonderful- delicious food and cozy atmosphere for super affordable prices, plus being a launch pad for so many young and vulnerable folks. Really hope it can get back to regular operations soon!
