Vote on the Energy & Sustainability Framework:
Passes unanimously. There is a round of applause from the gallery. #yqrcc

@PDcityhall Very disrespectful imho. Curious if City Council has asked for a legal opinion on liability if someone (including City workers) and/or their loved ones are harmed by covid exposure on a bus or other City facilities. I understand the SMA supports mandatory masking? still ?

[Larry Kowalchuk @Raven_Lark]

@PDcityhall with respect I disagree. Over 90% of us said bs to them for the past two years by getting vaccinated and wearing masks and social distancing and sanitizing. Moe does not speak for that 90% either.

[Larry Kowalchuk @Raven_Lark]

@PDcityhall IMHO Living by the principle of 'do NO harm' is easy and wearing a masks and sanitizing I how one says to everyone out there " You matter as does the health of those you love, your kids and your grandparents and coworkers". I also respect the Saskatchewan Medical Association .

[Larry Kowalchuk @Raven_Lark]

@PDcityhall From all across Canada, lawyers and law faculty like McGill University have publicly stated that employers and governments may in fact be liable for any harm to employees and public who suffer any harm caused by exposure to covid linked to their facilities/workplaces.!!

[Paul Dechene @PDcityhall]

Zachidniak: Until this point I've been proud of the decisions the city has been making on COVID. From what i've heard, I'm not certain that the city will continue to show leadership. #yqrcc

[Larry Kowalchuk @Raven_Lark]

@PDcityhall Yes the Saskatchewan Medical Association (actual medical experts called doctors) says no to lifting any of the present restrictions ...no changes !

@PDcityhall with no rights, at minimum wage and no union

[Larry Kowalchuk @Raven_Lark]

@PDcityhall such as when you move a bylaw to abolish public input?

[Larry Kowalchuk @Raven_Lark]

@PDcityhall There was NO opportunity to discuss this at Exec nor anywhere prior to Council meeting and that is the point....it is at Council where decisions are actually made so why limit public delegations to that decision making PUBLIC forum??

[John "Saskboy" Klein @JohnKleinRegina]

@Raven_Lark makes great point about the 2050 target being a political, not scientific target. Pleased to hear so many people raise this problem at the #100Renewable online forum now.
We've #FiveYears of #carbonbudget remaining to exceed 1.5°. Business as usual means ruination.

[John "Saskboy" Klein @JohnKleinRegina]

A few people brought up this very important point at the meeting tonight. 2050 is a political target, not scientific. The limit arrives decades earlier.

@SaskPower thank you flickering in Coronation Park as well

@PDcityhall Shocking that Regina City Council did not formally support Bill c6 !!!

[Larry Kowalchuk @Raven_Lark]

@PDcityhall This lawyer imho : those opposed to the motions are in actual fact ignoring what the courts have said here in Regina and Canada... and what the INTENT of the proposed law is as stated in the actual proposed law >> is actually stated by our courts as a principle of interpretation

[Larry Kowalchuk @Raven_Lark]

@AinaKagis @PDcityhall and ask them if they about their legal position on gay students attending a religious law school and ask them what they said to Prince Albert and other cities about flying Pride Flags etc.

[Larry Kowalchuk @Raven_Lark]

@PDcityhall or it is built here and then relocated?
