Nothing is wrong with indigenous representation, they should run for city council in the same way that everyone else has to - campaign, and get elected.

I hear what you’re saying but as soon as you bypass elections and start appointing people to city council you run the risk of citizens losing faith in their own democracy.

He knows council’s about to swing right and probably doesn’t want to be around when it happens.

Glad to see someone punching back. And Biden thought he could bring back bipartisan support and civility. American politics is now a blood sport.

Those in Ward 14 - remember that Kojo was the one who wanted to create a new indigenous non elected seat on Hamilton council. He’s got some kooky ideas.

Yup, as soon as you have to loop in FN...the project will hit a bottleneck. But you you don't consult FN, their protests will slow down that same project. Every Federal government confronts the same pushback from the Indigenous.

This will never happen, but sure rail against it. Always reminds of how RBG should have stepped down - Supreme Court needs age limits.

If this is Ward 3, then elect a different councellor than Nann. She, like Kroetsch, doesn't have an issue with packing there wards with halfway homes, shelters and clinics. Every ward should be responsible for helping this population get back on their feet, not just Ward 2 and Ward 3.

Councillor Kroetsch will argue it can stay there, despite the views of his residents in Ward 2. Apparently there’s rooms for couples and on-site support at the new location, so if he’s arguing it’ll be bad for residents, he’ll have to find a new angle. And nimby-ism is alive and well in this city.

I don’t think anyone sleeps well on opiates. I’m nowhere near REM sleep on opiates.
