I am a very sorry that happened to the pooch, and really glad his people were so prepared. It’s so terribly selfish that people litter in our beautiful parks.
It is understandable that young people mistakenly believe that more housing will be affordable and good for them. Second is the delegation to city staff, many of whom will move on, later in their careers, to work for developers/designers/builders , of the decision-making on lots that “meet the guidelines.”
Surely many of the middle-income families, for whom this proposed initiative is apparently designed, would be more than happy to access affordable housing in the less dense suburbs of Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal etc. rather than in the urban core. I can just see future Canadian fighter pilots, call signs Baby Beluga, Sunshine Earth Harvest and Non-Binary Warrior, facing off against Russian or Chinese aggression.

If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation and productivity growth, it would be more than $20 right now. He wants us to believe that unionized government employees, in particular, are to blame for the increasingly dire situation now facing the world’s populace: rising inflation. Far-fetched? Quite.
Rising costs are directly attributable to the Bank of Canada’s misguided monetary policy and subservience to Canada’s rich elites, investor greed and neoclassical economics. Opposing these forces are unions. It was all the more meaningful to display Pockets’s work in the dining room, which is where Carr is on record for having made her first sketches, as a little girl, using coal from the fireplace.
