Just listened to that one myself. Believe it’s the Sumerian episode. #8

“Folks I appointed them for the exact reason you are mad at me for. So stop being mad at me. I did it on purpose not by mistake!”

Rofl what a defence.

Fundamentally do not understand why they wouldn’t be appointing judges.

There are two Walmart locations that were announced after the original staples locations were. Iirc.

Total bs. We should have the right to know what our governments goals are.

Exactly what I was thinking. This just sounds like it would be a victim impact statement which serves very standard.

I also fail to see how it could possibly be considered irrelevant.

My Godfather tried to read that to me in it’s entirety when I was 4 lol.

Im in basically the same position since realistically the change needs to be at an institutional level. I can’t really change anything by myself without excluding myself from most modern services.

We need laws and regulations. But like you I fear it’s too late.

It all began with a DEI course for TDSB administrators that started in April 2021. DEI trainer Kike Ojo-Thompson (the CEO of the KOJO Institute) led a series of sessions for TDSB higher-ups in which she made a number of familiar progressive arguments, according to Bilkszto’s court filing: Canada is a more racist place than the U.S., Canada is a “bastion of white supremacy and colonialism,”

The rest aside, the NP saying that it’s a common take that Canada is worse than the us for racism is crazy talk. That’s a fringe view.

A bright spot in Ontario’s otherwise dismal government actions. Hopefully we can continue this with more investment down the line.

Tbh I know nothing of the others. But how can they possibly justify Carolyn Mulroney? She’s never served as a lawyer in Ontario and did nothing of note as the minister.

Is there any way for the city to fight the expropriation? I would have thought government wouldn’t be able to use that ability for a private enterprise.

Been a serious decline since they last changed ownership.

when we vote for mayor its a direct vote. so doesn’t matter if your ward goes “conservative” the vote will still count just as much as anyone else’s. we don’t use First past the post for mayoral elections thankfully.

For counselors because we do not have party affiliation at a municipal level so having proportional representation would be impossible as there is no way to count a vote for say Matlow (if he lost st pauls) to Brown as proportional seat for progressives.

on a provincial and federal level i 100% agree with you.

Do you mean instant run off ballots? I don’t see how you would have proportional representation municipally. (For mayor or counsellors considering neither are party affiliated)

was really worried early on with Bailao in the lead. Was wondering if we were going to pull an Ottawa.

While she wasn’t my top candidate glad I voted for her. Letting the city rot for another 4 years under Bailao wasn’t an option.

Bailao catching up quick. https://twitter.com/MainStResearch/status/1673152994878029825

don;t rest on your laurels. go vote.

Lol developer just pretending the designation doesn’t exist is wild. Hope they force a rebuild and issue a massive fine.

Kinda sucks they dropped the ball on that specific point because much of the article is great.
