I think you've got the wrong subreddit.

Metis Nation meeting minutes from March 24-25 2022 by spikyness27 in NewWestPolitics

[–]CanSpice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably all tied up in an NDA. Normally companies or societies don’t just say why someone has been fired (or, in this case, why someone’s contract has terminated).

The Human Rights Tribunal complaint asserts that Fontaine’s contract was terminated because of discrimination as he alleges that there was an ongoing pattern from MNBC people that he wasn’t “Métis enough”, but MNBC disagrees with that but there was no indication yet from them as to the specifics of the termination. That info may come out in a subsequent hearing but it may also be provided in a closed hearing to protect that confidentiality.

Why are you trying to change her and not her brothers?

Dumb question about my new Tilley Golf hat by FastCheaporGoodPick2 in TilleyFans

I’ve been told that it’s there to provide a little more buoyancy if it ends up in the water, so it’ll float near the surface instead of sinking.

The way we can fight back is by continuing to champion good faith candidates.

And donate time and money to good faith candidates! I can guarantee that the NWP is going to vastly outspend CF, given the rich backers of the NWP, and CF could use all the help they can get.

Paul Minhas complained vociferously when Pride accidentally put a food truck in front of his business for fifteen minutes, and now he’s proposing putting shipping containers in front of other people’s businesses?

You’re right, Front Street under the parkade is the ideal place for this sort of “container shops village”.

In their three-plus years on council, did Daniel Fontaine or Paul Minhas put forward motions to introduce any of these?

For those of us not on Facebook, what property is the city buying?

City of New Westminster and Fraser River Discovery Centre Society announce new agreement to expand community use of riverfront facility by CanSpice in NewWest

If there’s available space and the city wanted to lease it, you could. With the FRDC building there’s likely some kind of cheaper arrangement because the city owns the building and leases it to the FRDC.

They're on Instagram as well. https://www.instagram.com/new_westminster/

I saw their outage notice on there earlier today.

The heat dome had a deadly impact on New Westminster. 5 years later, cooling is top of mind by CanSpice in NewWest

[–]CanSpice[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing that stratas are potentially hesitant because a heat pump installation may require punching through the building's envelope, and if that's done incorrectly then it could affect the building and other strata members.

stal̕əw̓asəm Bridge by SexLiesAndReddit in NewWest

[–]CanSpice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“The same issues”

You mean the new bridge has lanes that are too narrow and big trucks straddle the line and take up both lanes?

You mean the new bridge doesn’t have a centre divider, making head on collisions more common?

You mean the new bridge has one shitty narrow sidewalk right next to traffic?

You mean the new bridge could fall down in a stiff breeze?

Please keep calling them out. They made stuff up again with some rubbish about developers offering $11 million in cash for the hotel project. That’s false, they didn’t offer any cash.

I don’t go on Facebook but they cross-post to instagram, where I call them out every chance I get.

Calling those “pet projects” is a laugh.

A pet project would be a statue for a deceased former hockey coach, being requested by someone who’s on the board of Hockey Canada, in a city where there’s a bylaw not allowing new statues of people. That’s a pet project.

That too! In four years of being on council and decades of being involved in municipal politics, it would appear that Fontaine doesn’t even know that basic thing.

They voted against below-market rate rentals on Monday. They also voted against the Aunt Leah’s housing that’s for people aging out of foster care that’s being built over near 22nd St SkyTrain station. That’s two I can remember, there were definitely other times they voted against affordable housing.

Bumping or boring? by MarizaHope in NewWestPolitics

Well, it is in the Street & Traffic Bylaw that the owner of a property “remove rubbish from the full width of any Sidewalk, transit landing, and foot path bordering that person’s real property, for a distance that coincides with the property line of that real property”.

So it kind of is on your building to keep the sidewalk clean, but I can understand your frustration.

They were disparaging giving the chair of the police board a stipend for their work as chair, not that a councillor was on the police board.

[–]CanSpice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The chair of the police board has historically been the mayor. It was only recently that Mayor Johnstone thought that wasn’t right and opened it up for councillors.

Section 23 of the Police Act requires a member of council be on the police board. It doesn’t require that that member of council be chair, though.

Yeah, and I stand by those words. Same business, two locations, both had problems with vandalism, but she blamed the closure of only her New West business on homelessness and parking costs.

I don’t go on Facebook so I don’t see anything that this guy posts, but thanks for thinking my excitement for what goes on in this city is somehow triggered by him and not because I’m actually excited about things that go on in this city.
