The three votes were expected.

Many of them have no idea what chairing a committee means. As for Audit & Finance Committee, it is a pointless committee just like in the past.

I know one of the councillors is working hard towards organizing a watch party for World Cup final.

Why don't we call Jesus, Yesu or Issa Masih, they're correct variations? Call God with whatever name you want to. This whole mine is better than yours nonsense is what's corrupting the world. Looking at the racists, they would have been racist against Jesus, Moses, they weren't white after all.

Also, it's just me. Coming from a place where there is a mix of almost all major religions in the world. A mosque in the neighborhood had a call to prayer 5 times a day and the interesting part is over 90% of the population in the area wasn't even muslim. So, I'm cool with it, maybe I am used to it.

Also, many of them have bagged every brown person as a muslim. Not every brown person is a muslim. People from India/Pak/Bangladesh/Srilanka all look pretty much the same. I am waiting for a councillor to bring forward a motion wrapped in nice wording.

Religious institutions across the globe have been allowed to make noise for centuries. Racists can't differentiate b/w who is who. Someone came to me and asked why do you pray 5 times a day, I said I'm not a muslim so I don't have to. Response was howcome you're not a muslim. Wtf does that even mean

Bezo organize a watch party downtown for ⚽ world cup. You want foot traffic, you will get foot traffic. The RDBID is foolish enough to not utilize the opportunity. Regina has great number of ⚽ fans than you expect. #yqrcc

Canada moves to Round of 16 in the FIFA World Cup and there is no watch party in #YQR. If there is then let me know because on July 4 Canada with either play Netherlands or Morroco. For the very first team played a knockout game and won to move on to the next round.

Eloah in Hebrew and Elaha in Aramaic. It just means "God".

Some may be figuring a way to draft it up in a way that it doesn't come across as bigoted. I have a couple in mind who could possibly do that. As for call to prayer or not, it doesn't really matter to me. I just don't want to see bigoted people empowered.

Mr. Bezo's intent of making downtown vibrant with this motion was nonsense, he had something else in mind. It conflicts with his "downtown is dead". He has some vested interest.

That's madness. He is obsessed with KPIs. He throws it in at the every opportunity. If he were a principal he would have been the worst one, both teachers and students would have a miserable session under him 😆

Yes, City Mgr can do that. But if the leadership that employees look upto pays no heed to them then the morale is to go down the drain. Can you imagine the impact on the quality of work and exodus of people because they no longer trust their leaders.

City Clerk helps you draft whatever you want, that doesn't mean they support your ideas. It's their job to provide you with assistance.

What City Mgr mentioned to him was a personal opinion, he would like if he could see people in city hall in the past but that doesn't necessarily mean that it was his official stance. Glad Jim cleared that at the meeting.

Not all of them working from home. Those folks who need to be in office are there everyday. Just take a look around the city hall, don't just put your head down and take the elevator to 15th floor. Talk to people. Many past councillors did that and employees respected that.

Mr. Burton you are completely out. The younger generation esp Gen Z, their expectations are different. Don't be a dinosaur.

Right, go do the job for them instead of making decisions to take our city forward.

Yes, that's what many city employees feel as well. A lot of them talked affordability, inconvenience of driving from out of town considering they took the job because it offered flexibility. From what I heard they were quite determined that they aren't going to downtown anymore.

If we are going to compare then let's compare other things as well. How about transit?

That was a clever take from administration. I know a person whose doctor said 3 days office, 2 days home but HR twisted to 2 days home as and when required. I wouldn't let the administration completely off the hook. Some employees suggested they would quit.

Collaboration has only increased after people started working from home during COVID. People embraced the new techs which they were hesitant about using before. As for trust, face to face interaction doesn't necessarily build trust. It's just fine if you see each other through a screen.

It doesn't increase any foot traffic. RDBID would obviously support the motion Bezo brought forward. No one is against revitalising downtown, city employees want downtown to thrive but let's be real, look at the state of our downtown.

This is so true. My wife works 4 days from home because it allows her to do her job as well as attend to kids needs. She doesn't have to take a day off because the kid is sick. She is there and watches over him, keeps her mind at peace. She works downtown, her employer is more than happy.

I think in the past as well it was Bezo who raised a point something along the lines of did the grades improve? Grades improved or not is not council's job. Let the hardworking teachers take care of it. The level micromanagement by this council (a few of them) is unprecedented.

Trust me, the administration was faking it to a great extent on how they are ok with how things are working. Except for a few most of them whine about remote work. #yqrcc

He himself doesn't have a clue what he is asking most of the time, which is almost every time.

The usual ones. Almost every employee knew this 🤣

Does Mr. Bezo own any kind of business downtown? I don't know. As for the cities he was naming they have a downtown worth visiting. What do we have for a downtown, PARKING LOTS

Sometimes Rashovich gets confused with his own questions and then goes off on a tangent confusing the administration. As expected the usual 3 voted in favour.

So, he gets to decide how to build trust. Many employees joined organization during COVID and I don't see any mentorship or trust issues. 99% of the things that I have to do can be done from home. I talk to colleagues on a quick Teams call just to casually chat.

City employees do not even want to go to downtown. At most they go to Timmies. Half the time some construction is going on. A lot of female employees do not want to walk to downtown after lunch hours because they don't feel safe. I wish Mr. Bozo talked to folks in the building he visits part time

The person who brought forward this motion has not even showed up at the meeting. Great!! #yqrcc

To revitalise a crappy downtown bring back the city hall employees to work from office full time. Does the council know how many employees come from out of town, how long many employees been working in hybrid structure. Bezo comes up with these ridiculous ideas with nonsensical justifications #yqrcc

All the finance committees in the past had mostly been unnecessary.

I would say an obsession with sitting on the "chair" and try to control the meetings and finally show it off at the Council meetings.

Folks in the chamber have been advised to keep the mics facing the mouth but they like to keep it high for some reason 😁
