@mrhuwmorgan@colmflynnire@rob_northern Yes - I thought the statue was more likely of a pilgrim with a walking staff, sandals, and a pack, and not a beggar.
@robhughesyyc@AndersonBooz This sounds like the kind of fantasy folks make up around a pub table. Who would offer or back-stop low-interest loans? The “government”? With your tax money? Or oil taxes? That sounds awfully commie — you’d be paying for parts of your neighbour’s house. Want to do that?
@MBernardoNews 150 users per day sounds like it’s well-used. Maybe if the City (and Council) didn’t sabotage it by not connecting it to the Rivers Trail, it would get more use.
@TGostelow My worry is that the folks we’ve just elected (regardless of party) will dig in along party lines and not work together to address every citizen’s needs.
@TGostelow 1/ If it helps, the folks who voted for the Cons feel vulnerable & disenfranchised, too. You might believe they’re far from vulnerable, but it’s their “truth” just as much as others’ “truth” is, well, “truth”.
@TGostelow Others completely realize the effects of climate change, yet they feel the solutions proposed by the current government focus on urban needs and none of theirs.
@TGostelow (Ask the folks in Williams Lake, Lillooet, Clearwater, Merritt, etc. if they’re okay with having to drive hundreds of kilometres during a heart attack, to find medical services on weekends.)
@TGostelow 2/ Some feel betrayed by the current government’s failure to follow through on promises. (Ask the folks of Lytton how they feel about their town being still in ruins while no effort was spared to rebuild the Coq.)
@RadioNLNews Castanet today quoted him calling himself “the Mayor and CEO of Kamloops”. It’s been two years and he still just doesn’t get it that a mayor isn’t a CEO of anything.
@CFJC_Today Urban planners say to build pathways and crossings where folks actually walk. That’s what this project does. Why make folks hike 250 m uphill to cross at an ultra-busy intersection with transport trucks spraying slush on them the whole way?
@BowersWrites Welcome to the country! Nova Scotia is a good place to start. Every province has its own “take” on the country. I hope you see it all. You don’t have to rush it - take a lifetime to do it and enjoy every part!
I’ve never met @richardzussman but I admire his work. Also, @robshaw_vansun is a good friend and I trust his judgment implicitly. This entire debacle feels like a massive overreaction by @CBCNews. Make it right. https://t.co/BeqgFNgSMk
I cannot understand @CBCNews action against @richardzussman . Are the Toronto decision makers tone deaf?? Just before Christmas a fine political reporter is fired for writing a book on politics. Talk about Grinch! @cbcian@AndrewChangCBC Please do the right thing.
