CROSS BORDER INTERVIEWS: @cityburlington Deputy Mayor @rorynisan 📽️ Watch On Youtube: youtu.be/45dU0SUYk5Y 🎧Listen: spoti.fi/3yHuDQd 💻 Website: crossborderinterviews.ca #localgovernment #Municipality #CrossBorderInterviews
Certain intercity trains in Finland and Switzerland have children's play areas. How transformative would it be for Amtrak to have such spaces to make it easier for families?!
Thank you to @TheSpec’s Joan Little for endorsing my heritage and environmental work. Her only criticisms of me are actually personal. I suggest focussing on my performance as a councillor rather than my parenting choices during a pandemic. Voters will decide what really matters.
Look at that! We have made it to 10 events across Burlington for #100in1DayBurlON on June 4th. Will you help us get to 100? Register your own idea at 100in1dayburlington.ca cc @MariannMeedWard @cityburlington @Burl_ParksRec
Easy: Statistics -> Data Science
This is a great opportunity for students to get volunteer hours or for you to come together and collaborate on a community event or activity...#BurlON
Better Street Burlington has now expanded its scope to include the entire region under the name Safe Streets Halton with new management. We will continue to educate the public and advocate for better streets for all. 🦯🦽🚶♀️🚲🚌 #HaltonON #burlon #oakville #milton #haltonhills
Today I brought a motion to supply every vulnerable resident in @RegionofHalton with an N95 type mask. Seconded by @MariannMeedWard, the motion lost 19-2. I voted against lifting the mask mandate. Result: 20-1 in favour. I will post highlights of my full presentation below soon.
WR, RB, QB... don't matter. @19problemz left it all on the field to help get the @49ers in the #NFLPlayoffs.

Climate change affects every single aspect of life here in Ontario. The carbon tax is driving up the cost of pollution and the cost of ruining our planet. Here is a challenge to @fordnation government: I will take my job seriously and work to stop climate change. How about you?

Thread time. This is old data (2018), but if you want to know why housing is so expensive - a huge part of it is taxes. We tax housing construction like we tax cigarettes, and we wonder why we’re getting less of it.
@CouncillorKnoll These words are meaningless to those whose actual health and well-being are negatively affected by this decision. While the discussion has focused on young people, you are failing to recognize that all ages benefit from this. Including families who are forced to move away. 1/2

This is an example of why federal and provincial governments need to institute outcome-based incentives for municipalities. Because cities can always find new and creative ways to block housing.

Far to many in the environmental movement, such as they call themselves, are unserious about what it takes to build walkable communities close to jobs so people don't have to spend money and carbon get to and from work and other things. Easy to pretend that developers just pay…
We need housing policies that actually makes housing affordable and gets it built - remaining solely focused on policies that will generate even more profits for millionaires and billionaires while implying the benefits will trickle down is getting us nowhere.
My ire isn't directed at @connordpeters but this is a good example of the results from the disinformation campaign that municipalities led during Bill 23's implementation and the atrocious job journalists did in explaining the Bill to the public with what was going on. DCs WERE…
I thought the Ford government eliminated / froze DCs?

On April 1st the City of Burlington just increased the development taxes by 59% And you wonder why the public doesn’t believe politicians when they say they want more affordable or attainable housing.
Canadians should know that the largest statement ever in the history of economics - signed by 4K economists and 27 Nobel Laureates - calls for carbon dividends. That letter was organized by republicans. This shouldn't be a partisan issue, but someone Canada has made it one.
🧵on affordable housing and development charges. There are a lot of people who do not understand how much development already pays towards funding this and how asinine it was about to become before Bill 23.
The conclusion of this meeting was odd. Given how much time has been spent on this, and the mayor being against them when it was proposed, I thought this would be an easy way to signal that she meant it. Instead she needs more time to think. 1/2 #BurlON
