If your city councillor is acting like an activist and not a city official they’re probably not well suited for the job they have.
If your city councillor is acting like an activist and not a city official they’re probably not well suited for the job they have.
An elected official works with staff and constituents to identify community concerns explore options and make decisions on what if any action is in the cities interest. An activist creates awareness of an issue, often without solutions, in hopes of change.
Putting offensive takes in quotations and using someone else’s words doesn’t not make it an unoffencive way to share you personal thoughts.
London has a homeless issue, we also has a theft issue, the two are not always related. Cooper theft required tools, transportation, and knowledge. It's by thieves with resources not held by those experiencing homelessness. Connecting the two is not fact based it's fear based.

“possible consequences as climate change accelerates, including bigger algae blooms, more evaporation and beach erosion” If a political party is more concerned with axing carbon pricing than the threat to our Great Lakes they are not fit to govern. pbswisconsin.org/news-item/scie…
OK, those that use more carbon pay more and are incentivized by cost to use less. Those that live a low carbon lifestyle get a bigger rebate than they pay in and get rewarded for it. Hate it all you want but economists agree it is the lowest cost method to reduce emissions.

A political party that is more concerned with cutting carbon pricing or gas taxes than addressing climate change is not prepared for the challenges an already warming planet creates and is not fit to govern. thestar.com/news/canada/ti….
A political party that blames rising living costs on carbon pricing while ignoring the cost of not addressing climate change is not a serious political party and is not fit to govern.
A serious political party wouldn’t be looking to end or reduce taxes on something that is killing our planet, they would be creating relief by ending our dependency on it faster.

Todays reminder of the high cost of doing nothing to meaningfully tackle climate change. A political party who thinks dismantling programs that reduce carbon emissions are a good idea is not a serious about governing. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
At one time Conservative politicians were willing to use expert recommended tax policies in-spite of their unpopularity. Today we get ‘axe tax’ without a meaningful plan to deal with a generational defining crisis. They are not serious about governing. cbc.ca/amp/1.905501
Todays reminder. A political party that thinks eliminating carbon pricing is the defining issue of this generation is not fit to govern.
Today’s daily reminder. A political party who thinks eliminating carbon pricing is the most important issue of the day is not serious about governing. apnews.com/article/wmo-un…

If you are disappointed with the direction some members of council are taking this city, remember election campaigns can’t be won during the election period alone. It’s takes planning and coordination that starts years in advance.
@itsjustkevy @SQldnont Preventing evictions and subsequent homelessness of some of our most vulnerable residents is a proper role for the city. It was callous and indifferent for councillors to turn their backs on such pressing needs. #LdnOnt needs more funding for these cost-effective programs.

Yes that area needs better transit/active transportation connectivity (and we should do that). But we should say yes to the new housing either way.
@Forward2022 @NeedlesOnNews @Wiggum4Leafs @st3v3turn3r I think municipalities are hamstrung by the province and cannot unilaterally move closer a land value tax. Wish they could! In the meantime, seems like refusing to extend the parking zoning (and increasing the opportunity cost for underdevelopment) might be next best option...
@Forward2022 @DNewcombeCTV And she shouldn’t have done it either….
@StevensonLDN It’s reprehensible that you seem so proud to have shut down debate on a legitimate motion brought by a fellow Councillor. Same thing was done to my motion to fund the Arts Council for Indigenous programs. Whatever your position on the merits may be, this attitude is inexcusable.
@Forward2022 I have heard several politicians make the same claim that the city would lose if there were an appeal. But like your statement that the police “usually win” I’ve not seen any evidence of that. I’m not even sure what is the antidotal evidence you are referring to.
@itsjustkevy @SQldnont Preventing evictions and subsequent homelessness of some of our most vulnerable residents is a proper role for the city. It was callous and indifferent for councillors to turn their backs on such pressing needs. #LdnOnt needs more funding for these cost-effective programs.
@Forward2022 This is a good explanation - and I can say honestly that I misunderstood it until I started following this budget debate. The main lesson seems to be that people should be paying *a lot* more attention to Council's LPS Board appointments!
@Forward2022 This doesn't get said enough. I certainly have principled differences with some on this Council, but there's not one of them that I think doesn't care about their community. Having different values/priorities doesn't justify the vitriol so often spewed their way.
@Forward2022 It doesn't mean you owe them agreement... Or to not criticize (I've done plenty!) But I've always thought it means they're *at least* owed a basic level of decency, and to not have motives/character unduly impugned.
Not a city level request, provincial level for the highway traffic act - ban turning right on red lights - allow cyclists and pedestrians to cross on red lights like it’s a yield when there is no traffic (Idaho stops)
What YIMBY/urbanist policies do you want to see passed in your city in 2024?
@Forward2022 Exactly this. It's why it's so important to vote for someone who aligns with your principles come election time. Defending a controversial decision not on its merits but because "my constituents want it" (as many politicians seem to do) is a sign of weak leadership.
@StevensonLDN So what’s the point of this post Councillor? Is it to encourage someone to do the same? Or is it to discourage #LdnOnt city from supporting agencies committed to harm reduction? Please clarify because I worry about the harmful effects of such persistent negativity as we’ve seen.
@Forward2022 @AndrewLawton Yet isn't time to look in the mirror...she was part of a gov that bought the failing TMX.
@StevensonLDN No, this article about another by-law criminalizing homelessness in the US is neither “worthwhile” nor relevant in the #LdnOnt context. It normalizes criminalization as a reasonable option, and is frankly a bit inciteful. /1
@eastofadelaide @pfragiskatos @AbeOudshoorn I can understand wanting the public to understand and buy in but the public doesn’t have the expertise that has gone into this already. They can be informed after it’s approved and the can learn ans ask questions. People are dying!! Each day someone else is newly living rough.
@StevensonLDN “Which is why we need to focus on housing and fund programs/services that meets the needs of the community.” There I fixed it for you. Stop further stigmatizing & dehumanizing the unhoused community. Its absolutely vile you take pleasure in continuing to actively harm them.
@CTVNews It's certainly one way to let everyone know where there's a large population of bigots. Hopefully businesses take their warning as well.
@Forward2022 Yes, and It would be premature to begin the 4yr budget planning process w an expectation of a set narrow range as the end result. There are too many uncertainties to consider, including the negative impacts of Bill 23. @DNewcombeCTV /1
Bec ppl seem confused, the goal is never diversity for diversity's sake. This is about an over qualified man from an over policed community being denied a seat in favor of a political insider. It's about "business as usual" at the cost of the communities that are demanding change
I'm at London City Hall for today's council meeting. Let's see how this Police Services Board appointment gets sorted out, shall we? #ldnont
