In pursuit of long-term greater good, efficiency, and max. utility -frequently proposing radical change, will try and convince you of same. Opinions are my own.

SK residents and @ctvregina
should be asking @SaskPower what $/kwh electricity is being purchased. I call foul if K+S is getting a better deal than solar producers under net metering where they only get half back of what SKPWR charges. https://t.co/EB2ljFbJ3p

@ctvsaskatoon If it's a standalone building in a suburb, and has a drive thru, such a thing does not exist.

The entire business model is predicated on an unsustainable development and consumptive model.

[Jared Stephenson @stephensonjared]

@JeffSpeckFAICP Won't argue right or wrong, but worth considering that many ppl who value 'acceptable' urban form have a hard time finding it outside the core areas of Van, TO, Montreal and tend to move to those cities from elsewhere. Would suggest this is a factor.

Thank you for this @juliemarienolke!

I laughed, I sighed, then I cried knowing this is more a reality than a parody.

"SGI sent an email outlining the intended cycling updates to the handbook... None of the Administration’s comments were incorporated in the final draft of the handbook"

@SGItweets is failing its mandate for road use safety and education - pathetic.

“There is no right to drive in Saskatchewan. It is a privilege."

Well, never thought I'd see language like that come from #govsk. Now if only we designed our cities that way. #yxecc #yqrcc https://t.co/nRKXUjxrHg

Seeking #yxevotes mayoral candidate openly critical of @SaskParty ignoring cities and root causes (reasons legion). Policing, laws, judicial reform - sure. But, proper fix will require long-term $/poli commitment, abandoning flawed ideology.

@DTSaskatoon @YXEcc @cityofsaskatoon @SaskatoonHBA @APEGS_SK @Englobe_corp @CaterpillarInc @CaseCE @VolvoCES @buildyxe @JudgeFergusonTX It’s a big issue with competing interests and objectives. IMO the pursuit for more permissive land use regulation is an existential requirement for cities and is mostly a good thing; but, it needs to be done right.

@DTSaskatoon @YXEcc @cityofsaskatoon @SaskatoonHBA @APEGS_SK @Englobe_corp @CaterpillarInc @CaseCE @VolvoCES @buildyxe @JudgeFergusonTX As I pointed to prior, as we open this path towards infill and redevelopment, the issue extends far beyond vibration. We need policy and bylaw changes to help ensure that existing residents aren’t bearing the brunt of the negs related to construction with little to no upside.

[Jared Stephenson @stephensonjared]

@DTSaskatoon @YXEcc @cityofsaskatoon If you buy in a new greenfield burb, living in construction assumed. Where happening in established neighbourhoods, more care/control is warranted, is necessary for community acceptance and less objection to change. Existing residents shouldn’t just be stuck with the negs. END

@DTSaskatoon @YXEcc @cityofsaskatoon Increase in construction costs and time? You bet. Outright deterrent? Maybe, but less likely if applied to all areas of the City where rules apply equally. /8
