Yesterday was a sunny, beautiful day, and today we’re back to winter weather—totally expected; it’s only mid-February. The roads are bad, so be careful driving out there.

Victoria Hall renos were pegged at $500K—now nearly $2.2M at the Feb 10 COW meeting. That’s 4x the cost, with no clear rationale. Who’s the tenant driving this level of investment? What are your thoughts on the proposed upgrades and the associated costs? #AuroraOntario
We need leaders who act on evidence, even when it’s uncomfortable, because homelessness is not a personal failure—it’s the predictable result of housing shortages, inadequate supports, stagnant wages, and rising costs.

“Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.”
— Thomas Sowell
Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul?
In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable.
He calls the result “men without chests.”
People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing.
Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear.
Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning.
Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians.
Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.
Merry Christmas! May your holidays be filled with joy, and may the new year bring even more chances to make a difference—together. #AuroraOntario#StrongMayorPowers https://t.co/mddzWUvIDd
