Comment on Lansdowne Can’t Be Delayed For PWHL: STEPHANSON by watching carefully
The City also re-built a bridge in the west rural area that was too narrow requiring farmers to drive their tractors another 10 miles to the next bridge and back to their fields! No consultation. But not designing the arena for the […]
Comment on Lansdowne Can’t Be Delayed For PWHL: STEPHANSON by Ron Benn
Paul, it is not strange at all. Disappointing? Yes. Strange? No. Standard operating procedure for the city is to ignore input from anyone who is not already on side - on any issue, not just Lansdoom.
Comment on Use Common Sense On Election Probe: PATTON by Ron Benn
The city says it cost $450K to complete these three audits. How much of that was paid to the audit firms? How much of it is an allocation of the existing "fixed" costs of the city, in particular staff time?

Mayor Watson's legacy project was the LRT which turned into Mayor Watson's albatross. Now Mayor Sutcliffe wants Lansdowne 2.0 to be his legacy project and it has all the signs and symptoms of being another albatross project. If council […]
Comment on City Touts Its Credit Ratings by Paul Pothier
@C from Kanata - More likely to show that the city can easily afford to borrow money to finance Lansdowne 2.0. Because, after all, no one remembers the mistakes S&P and Moody’s in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis.
Comment on City Touts Its Credit Ratings by C from Kanata
