The pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad's garden, looking straight on us while daring us to suggest he is partly made of fuzzy felt.

A more relaxed side of the pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad's garden, but where he still looks like he is the product of an industrious afternoon from a local fibre arts group.

I absolutely refuse to believe that the pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad’s garden is real and has not in fact been crocheted.

In the latest QCIB we started talking about 2 different cases of extremely gross racist NIMBYism at the same time & I'm not sure we did a great job of explaining what we were talking about. So I'm going to clear that up now. /1 #yqrcc

I’ve been thinking about Canada’s intention to become more economically independent from the United States, and to connect more with Europe.

We should do the same thing with our city-building.

Our city-building has always been too influenced by the U.S, especially with car dependency.

Thoughts?

I have to get this out before I forget:

On the nuisance property report… Admin recommends NO new tax subclass, YES to keeping w/ their new enforcement strategy. But that recommendation was made BEFORE council slashed the nuisance property enforcement budget during city budget deliberations. #yqrcc

Hey! Remember when Regina contemplated not allowing oil advertising on just city-owned facilities? (A thing the industry isn't really doing.) And the premier freaked out & threatened to take away the city's grants? Crazy times.

“OUR city isn’t [insert name of a much more livable & successful city here].”

Trust me, we know that. It’s abundantly obvious that you’re not that city.

That city made, and continues to make, much better choices with fewer excuses.

Every single community group would get $100K with no questions. I would build benches for bus stops and fund block parties for every single street in Cathedral.

Like, wouldn't that be more fun than a single baseball stadium?? I would want to make Regina the coolest, weirdest place I could imagine

I don't know what it says about me, but if I was suddenly a million/billionaire, I would spend my money on building tool libraries, co-op kitchens, weird housing, and libraries. Who needs a yacht when you could create a spray art park, or a test kitchen in the community centre?

i doubt there’s a serious plan in place to do this, but every day that goes by without truly fundamental reform brings us closer to possibilities like this, where ICE can serve as an all-purpose goon squad for the administration

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”
