Great morning ydy touring the excavation and underground parking installation of @ldnont's old Victoria Hospital lands new build, Residenza Victoria. #helloSoHo

@st3v3turn3r If there was ever a time to invoke it, that would be it. Again, don't just read the room, read the country. You're on the losing end of this one.

Very concerned about the growing recent trend of using the notwithstanding clause for political means. The Charter is written to protect the fundamental rights of all those in Canada, not to just be discarded when a politician sees it as inconvenient.

@GaineyDan @jimsciutto Ah... NO!

@jimsciutto Canada should be part of the US. Not number 51, but 55. Canada should be 5 states, which would recognize the difference in the populations of the different regions. 5 states would also assure that they are given adequate representation and voice.

So Canada, an independent nation proud of its own history and heritage, has developed an aircraft now helping to put out fires in the U.S. Perhaps it’s not desperate to be absorbed by its neighbor to the south, but would prefer to remain its own unique nation which also happens to be the number one trading partner of the U.S. and its treaty ally through multiple wars. Another reason to stop with the 51st state BS.

@st3v3turn3r Not doing so Stephen, I should have made the direct link to you and many of your development stances over the years.

@RCaranci Read the rest of the thread, Roger. The land cost is but a small fraction of the influences on affordability. Interest rates are likely the biggest factor. No need to be pejorative against public sector workers.

My worry about the response to the housing shortage is that we throw away all our environmental and sustainable development policies in pursuit of more homes only to miss the mark, not improve affordability and only end up lining the pockets of a few developers.

@hitaskunk @cabbiecronicles I used to have a furnace named after you!

Years ago, I worked as an overnight cleaner at the Post Office and I had to have a background check, ffs. What’s PP hiding?

@NPaparellaCTV @PaparellaJulian Congratulations to you and the family Nick! You'll love being a Nonno!!!

@greg16676935420 Your math is impeccable!

Saving just 50 cents a day will get you $18,250 in a year. Let that sink in

@stubbs980 The Wave too please.

The London Knights did not celebrate their last goal against Owen Sound with a fly-by of the bench. Just went back to centre ice. Can we please get rid of the fly-by at every level of hockey past the age of U12?

@londongibberish You're off by just a tad... like 30yrs!

@RCaranci And besides, you were on council in the '70's?

A way for a former councillor to take a swipe at a property owner without mentioning the name?

@st3v3turn3r You're joking right? So what you're saying is it has nothing to do with the issue of homelessness, addiction and mental health and the presence of those issues magnified X's 1000 in the downtown area. You're 1000% wrong 2 believe that any downtown landlord would rather be vacant.

We desperately need strong policies to crack down on commercial property speculation. It undermines every effort and dollar we put into revitalization of our core.

@londonnewstoday The integrity Commissioner should do their job properly before making any decisions.

@smartassnishnaw @StevensonLDN Describing the refusal to follow established rules and protocol for the Integrity Commissioner set by city council, as a "technicality", is agreeing to the thought that anything city council sets as rules or by-laws for it's citizens are just suggestions.

In the process of coming to this conclusion, the Integrity Commissioner did not adhere to the Code of Conduct for Members of Council Complaint Protocol and found me in breach of the Code of Conduct prematurely and without due process. In the Code of Conduct for Members of Council Complaint Protocol, it states:   5.1 The Integrity Commissioner will proceed as follows, except where otherwise required by the Public Inquiries Act, 2009:    a) serve the complaint and supporting material upon the Member whose conduct is in question with a request that a written response to the allegation by way of affidavit or otherwise be filed within ten business days;  As the Member whose conduct was in question, I was not served the complaint nor any supporting material for the basis of the complaint before receiving the Preliminary Report. I was also not requested to file a written response to an allegation within ten business days.  The Integrity Commissioner may believe that the Complaint Protocol is overly "prescriptive”, “legalistic”, and “simply unworkable”, but they were aware of that protocol before accepting the position and remain bound by that process. City Council is the legitimate authority that promulgates the Code of Conduct for Members of Council and the Complaint Protocol therein. It is not within the Integrity Commissioner's jurisdiction to selectively apply components of that by-law at their discretion. If they believe the Complaint Protocol as defined by Council is “simply unworkable”, they may consider issuing a formal recommendation to City Council that we amend our Code of Conduct or recuse themselves from this process altogether. In the absence of their recusal or a Council amendment, the Integrity Commissioner is bound to apply the Code of Conduct as written. That did not occur before issuing paragraphs 47-58 and 61 of their Report.  There is a defined process for a reason and that process must be followed. The Integrity Commissioner did not comply with the Complaint Protocol. The first time I was made aware of an investigation by the Integrity Commissioner was the same time I was informed that they had already found me in breach of the Code of Conduct. They came to a conclusion prematurely without fair and necessary consideration of the facts, and have compromised the entire process. Therefore, I reject the findings of their report. #LdnOnt

@Julie_Politics @StevensonLDN As is Clr. Stevenson. I believe she is doing what any elected official should be doing and that is questioning those dispersing the funds and how they are invested. What are the benchmarks? To write a cheque carte blanche is irresponsible.

@RCaranci @StevensonLDN Indeed, a project I’ve watched with great interest. I’m just a concerned citizen asking questions in a city that was built with complete disregard for the future by a council, realtors, developers and law firms more concerned with profit at the time.

The problem is not unique to #ldnont. oregonlive.com/opinion/2023/0…

@Julie_Politics @StevensonLDN Really well @Julie_Politics. As Chair of Residenza Affordable Housing, we are in the final prep of our 3rd affordable housing project. Just trying to do as much as I can to help that issue. You?

@RCaranci @StevensonLDN I did enjoy the fact that she created a town hall for the day should could have gotten the answers you claim she's seeking. How are you enjoying the massive commissions on our inflated real estate prices during this housing crisis, Mr. Realtor/Municipal Affairs Consultant?

@Julie_Politics @StevensonLDN No, she is asking questions that as an elected official is part of the job. As a steward of taxpayer dollars, she is right to question where, how and why.

@StevensonLDN The problem you were elected to help resolve but instead only inflame? Yes it's everywhere. Ready to post your solutions yet or still just complaining?

@jmccall54 That NIMBY thing again.

As someone who lives about three minutes from here, this is embarrassing. The point of intensification was completely missed by the person being interviewed.

@JessBrady980 @AM980News Good luck Jess. Always enjoyed speaking with you. Onward and upward!

@PirateMike911 And that's why I like the colour.

Good morning.
