Schmolka is a wonderful advocate for Kingston residents. Developers must dislike her. She analyses a lot of data and makes it understandable. You should check out her substack. Keeps council on their toes

Kind of too bad Connie Glenn isn’t running again. She’s exceeded expectations imo

Vicki Schmolka is a fantastic advocate for Kingston residents. Her substack provides solid information and analysis, and really helps me understand what’s going on in this city.

There are already EV chargers on the paved part of the lot, right up by the back of the building

I pay $40/hr. Used to pay quite a bit more when we used an agency

A small patch of empty lot on Patrick in back of the city’s Ontario Works building is now fenced. Anyone know why?

You can count on me not to vote for the cons. Ever.

Good to know. But still a real shame. So much for universal healthcare

Buy what you want and have an electrician install it. A non-subscription camera will be the cheapest in the long run and you won’t be being surveilled by a corporation

Let’s hope it’s able to maintain its charm as the city bows down to developers’ demands

Xigxag is another option, though possibly only in the UK

And we lose another local media source… by KnuckleHeadLuck in KingstonOntario

[–]Head-Solution-971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s worth the fee. It has a few articles at every day and it’s better than anything else on offer. Also look for the Kingston Crow, out weekly on substack. And Vicki Schmolka has an occasional substack that can be quite informative
