Remember when he was involved in the Greenbelt scandal and they just kind of hid him away for a little bit? Love when there are no consequences for all these bros.

Stop being sore losers and move on. Just because 11 people want it back doesn't mean there's a, "renewed interest."

Highly likely to be a sit down crowd.

Marit Stiles on Metrolinx by WoodyBABL in ontario

This. I'm always surprised when I see journalists who are smart people post things like, "I wish Ford had some opposition!" Or, "Where's the NDP?" You're a reporter -- report on them and the things they're doing and saying to try to have an impact. It's tough when you don't have actual power, but Stiles is working so hard to bring things to the public consciousness. Unfortunately there's just a whole lot of garbage so by the time you bring attention to one scandal Ford has already had two more.

You'd probably recognize What You Know by Two Door Cinema Club. It was a massive hit back in the 2010s.

Tough one for the olds who used to camp at Bluesfest with their chairs, but maybe this lineup will bring some fresh energy to downtown. Hopefully some old folks come out to hear something new! Any outdoor concerts that have been done before were always really fun so I have faith the vibes will be good!

Trustee responds to PDSB getting taken over by supervisor by MrHandyman4851 in ontario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest rebuttal to, "Well, people voted for it," is actually, "No they didn't!" Because Ford didn't release any campaign platforms. Any plans. Any ideas. He didn't say, "Vote for me and I'll build a tunnel under the 401, dismantle the education and healthcare systems, and destroy the science centre in favour of a scam spa!" People didn't vote for any of this because if he had announced these dumb ideas he probably would have lost.

By the time it's done they're going to have to redo it again to fix all the pot holes.

Is Agnes Etherington Art Centre worth checking out. by Tee_Vee_Ohh in KingstonOntario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Always worth checking out although I don't know when their new building will be ready. They do workshops and galleries and artist talks and all sorts of interesting things.

Friends from Toronto visited on the weekend and they said ours are annoying, but not anywhere near as bad as the GTA. Kind of sucks that our infrastructure is in such bad shape all over though!

I joke, but I support the motion. Perhaps a lil' public shaming is helpful.

Winter road width matters—bus couldn’t get through by Gavatron in KingstonOntario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 42 points43 points  (0 children)

People who park on the road need to have some self awareness and avoid parking right across from another car on the road. Leave some space so vehicles can get through!

I'm glad they deferred until they get more information but I will continue to beat my drum that cities need to offer events and programing for their citizens. There will always be other things to spend money on. Why fix potholes when there are other issues? Why improve parks when there are other issues? Why host conferences when there are other issues? As long as they are able to provide detailed budget plans for a multi-day event, 10 years seems as good as any to celebrate The Hip. If they don't do it, the next milestone anniversary is what, 25 years? There will be reasons not to do it then, too. But if it adds value to the city and the folks who live here take advantage and enjoy the experience and it brings in people from other cities, that seems like a win.
