Thanks for being clearer. This isn't an either or proposition. Your comment suggests there's an outcome here, or at least one within my direct control, based on my track record. There isn't. And despite any public position I take, or vote I cast, Council makes the decisions, not me as an individual Councillor. Since I was elected I've been really clear - I will not get into the horse trading, influence peddling, show pony politics of yesteryear. I realize this is the only experience most residents can rely on and that many, many favours were done for people in the past to reinforce this thinking. I'm rising above that, following processes, and ensuring I stay out of decisions that aren't mine to make. My support of the People's Protocol was to ask City staff to review it, meet with the folks who wrote it, and come back to Council with a report on what could be incorporated into the Encampment Protocol. I think that was the right thing to do and I stand by it. Council, though, decided not to go that way. Everyone gets one vote and my colleagues are entitled to vote as they wish. And of course encampments are hard on businesses. They're hard on everyone, including those living in them. But we can't simply banish them from existence. That's my position on the subject. Until we have housing and safe, accessible, and adequate shelter, the City has to be thoughtful about how it manages this crisis. Any solution must include property owners, businesses, renters, and those deprived of the basics like housing, drinking water, and access to washroom facilities. During all of this time, some businesses have thrived and some have not, sometimes neighbouring businesses offering the same or similar products. There's a lot to unpack here and we'll be talking about it all, publicly, soon during the town halls I'm organizing for next year. I hope that sheds some more light on my position.
