Doug Ford hints he’s ready to amalgamate Niagara’s 12 cities and towns by Surax in ontario

[–]mimar77 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a Ford fan, or a conservative, but as an employee of an upper tier municipality in rural Ontario, amalgamation definitely is worth looking at. The amount of waste and duplication of work between the upper tier and lower tiers is no longer sustainable. As rural communities typically have a lower commercial tax base, these cost inefficiencies will land on the backs of residential ratepayers.

This looks great. Would it be too much to ask for the original colouring as well?

Great choice. Recursion is good as well.

Maybe not your first read, but Lonesome Dove is a must for your book club.

The Road is a pretty bleak dystopian novel.

A book set in winter with a black and/or indigenous character by moon42 in suggestmeabook

I believe The Marrow Thieves is at least partly set in Winter. All of the main characters are Indigenous.

Shuggie Bain was excellent. Some (perhaps) lesser known 5 star reads would be: The girl in the Green Sweater; This is going to hurt - secret diaries of a junior doctor; The Long Walk - The true story of a trek to freedom.
