@@LastKnight-vt4rdso we're now praising the Province for actually doing (some of) their job? Wow. Maybe if they did their job properly, our property taxes wouldn't need to be so high to cover all the things that are their job that they're not doing.

Sohi, and the majority of councillors whose campaigns were largely funded by developers, voted for the omnibus rezoning bylaw. They ignored residents' wishes to not do so, instead voting for higher density housing, turning neighbourhoods, lot by lot, block by block, neighbourhood by neighbourhood into urban ghettos and concrete jungles. Signing onto the Trudeau Gov'ts "green" vision for 5 minute cities, ware housing people, all to help meet net zero, will result in these communist a-holes to be voted out of office. It will enrich developers pockets, who follow the 4 B's... buy, bulldoze, build and say bye bye. The city increases its tax base and throws residential property owners under the bus, forgetting it is home owners who pay the taxes that fund city budgets.
