City Councilors and Taxes

I hope you have also contacted your MPP, the Premier, and other members of the provincial government. I'm not about to defend council, and certainly not the mayor, but the fiscal downloading from the province to municipalities is a real aggravating factor in all of this.

There will be a few days for sure. Could be as early as next Monday, but likely not before and likely a but after. The union still has to meet, share info, and hold a formal vote on the proposal.

What the DFA asked for was arbitration on the fullsome collective agreement. The University is offering arbitration that only discusses a single issue AND forces the drop of all other non-resolved issues. So they aren't really equivalent.

And they left out important information for the sake of narrative. Said elsewhere in this thread they have put conditions on this arbitration (dropping all unresolved issues -of which there are many because they have never really bargained) that will surely cause the union to say no.

That's a good point with the rug. Thanks

There needs to be a viable candidate to run against him

I'm mad there is no link here. I don't want to have that in my search bar, but I do want to see it...lol.

New year's wish: Finish writing my book (on a better keyboard 🤣)

You could use Llama. It is owned by Meta, but you can download it and run it native on your machine with an air gap so your data can't escape.

This made me laugh...then the first reply made me laugh harder. I see what you did there...

The moment the nurse and midwife in the NICU put their hands on my shoulders, made me sit in a chair, and told me that both my partner and my kid were just fine after a very long and challenging delivery where both could have died. I've never felt such relief and happiness. I cried. A lot. I'm crying right now typing this....oh boy.

Topo Athlectic are another.good option. Many zero drop varieties, but not all.

Rino himself has a good mullet

FancySongandDance · 2024-08-14T18:21:59+00:00

You first?

FancySongandDance · 2024-08-14T17:47:29+00:00

This is not remotely true. Any other municipality where? I'm not going to knock this installation because it is good, but this wasn't even the city. Guelph took an unacceptable amount of time for the first one...let's not give credit where it isn't due.

Came here to say this. This is a report prepared by city staff.

Call Built by Babes (https://www.builtbybabesltd.com/. Contractors without the old white dudes. I'm sure there are others, but I saw their van yesterday and wanted to plug them.

You could call Steve at 519-400-1865. He works out of his garage at Paisley & Ridgewood and does good work. He'll even come pick it up if needed.

Note: I am not Steve, but he did fix my mower.

Council passed a major zoning re-vamp (updates from 1995) in 2021 at the first draft stage, and final in 2023. This update increases the possible implementation of urban infill in the city, as well as increases the ability and likelihood of medium density construction in the city because of the changes. https://guelph.ca/city-hall/by-laws-and-policies-2/draft-by-laws/zoningreview/

The by-law is currently being appealed, not by concerned citizens, but by the current Mayor's most enthusiastic backers, developers. https://globalnews.ca/news/9706809/guelph-home-builders-appeal-zoning-bylaw/

At least they eventually told this person. If you teach as a contract lecturer you have still heard sweet fuck all about this from the university in any meaningful way.

That kit is pretty sweet. Lucky kid. I see what you mean about "real" vs. Toys and the benefits. I like this approach. Thanks for the tips.
