@StevensonLDN If you don't know if a Service Depot would have helped, then I feel like you don't know your job. #ldnont

@deero_s @JcolinEvans @strosow @mcalisterward1 @AnnaHopkins11 Unfortunately, Cllr VanMeerbergen seems to follow a theory of "don't arrest me for robbing one bank; look over there! that guy robbed 5!" #ldnont

[Dean Sheppard @DeanShpprd]

Update - this jerk has been charged. WTF is wrong with ppl really? So much hate and so much insecurity.

YOU’RE A CITY COUNCILLOR.

[Dean Sheppard @DeanShpprd]

This is crazy behaviour. If you know this guy, have a talk with him. This is not acceptable. #ldnont
@lpsmediaoffice I hope you are also having a talk with him.

The sniping between supporters of Chow and Matlow - both strong candidates with good ideas - is a reminder of how it would be good to have ranked ballots where candidates might want to be positive about somewhat aligned opponents to get support on second ranking.

[Fair Vote Canada 🗳 🇨🇦 @FairVoteCanada]

The fact that we could end first-past-the-post tomorrow and choose not to is one of our greatest political failures.

[Dean Sheppard @DeanShpprd]

@eyeonthefly Agree with the whole thread. Ultimately, almost everything is political. I sometimes say that politics is just another word for community. Can you imagine a topic being 'too community' to engage with?

@blaineschalk @jmccall54 @MikePMoffatt @JM_Metrailler @JoshMorganLDN With increased interest rates, housing starts have slowed. Why? Of course, bc they are not profitable *enough.*
Time for a local municipal corporation who's business is building housing, not profit. #ldnont #itsachoice

[Dean Sheppard @DeanShpprd]

@JM_Metrailler @MikePMoffatt I think the unclear differentiation is that more housing does not, by default, result in more truly *affordable* housing - with the key being cheaper <> truly affordable.

[Dean Sheppard @DeanShpprd]

Thank you Kate for sharing who voted how. It's hard for most #ldnont'ers to see this info usually.
Shout out to the 6 Councillors who are supporting diversity.

Thought for the day:

It's almost like railroads and banks need more regulations than drag queens.👍

@stephen_brinen @JamiesonRoberts @NeedlesOnNews @BooksYarnLogic Our experience for last 20 years does not well inform our current climate change experience and doesn't come close to equaling what we our future will be. Simply, our past climate is gone. #ldnont

[Todd Devlin @ToddDevlin]

She describes herself as ‘a mom to a bad-ass daughter,’ but SHE’S bad-ass in her own right. I’m talking about @andreasereda, who saves lives in our community. Please, @StevensonLDN, job shadow Dr. Sereda for a day. We need her knowledge and expertise in city council.

@StevensonLDN It's a straight up terrible idea. You have already seen some replies w reasons why. There are surely two dozen more reasons why it's terrible, including it won't actually save the $ you think it will. Let's think more deeply. #ldnont

Doug Ford doubled the individual political donation amount during his first term in office, because "no one influences the Fords."

[Dean Sheppard @DeanShpprd]

Doug Ford begging John Tory to stay, tells you all you need to know about how much better of a mayor Toronto could have.

[Dean Sheppard @DeanShpprd]

@Nahanni_ @PatrickAllan100 Electing no-one is not a failing of ranked ballot. Some state that the less confrontational campaigning process of RB in fact does encourage more diverse voices to run.

[Dean Sheppard @DeanShpprd]

@StevensonLDN Imagine the complete gamechanger if #ldnont required virtually all commercial plazas to have a second storey for residential. Single storey commercial is a massive waste of space and infrastructure.
