Northwest Ontario - west of Thunder Bay - is going to be quite the outlier Central time (like Manitoba) but with DST (unlike Manitoba) I’m confused just thinking about it

They just like the idea of flying out of a “Cadillac” airport YRO isn’t that far away and the option of flying over to shoot ILS approaches should be on the table The YOW airport authority is trying to up their game (got the POE maintenance facility) and where the club sits is valuable real estate

Not sure why the #LCBO would use an American term … since any products from the “Pacific Northwest” are already off their shelves

Ottawa already has a fifteen minute neighbourhood - it’s called Centretown Not sure why anyone would want you to treat another part of the city the way your treat downtown

Not surprising 1) #OttCity does nothing that would align with best practices articulated in #VisionZero; and 2) #Autowa drivers are out of control … because there’s zero enforcement

WRONG! I takes you to another page where you need to wade through links to find it (2/3rds of the way down the page)

Now, you’d think that clicking the link would take you directly to the City Election Related Resources policy …

You’d have thought so, but after hearing a number of others wonder how the mayor got things like their personal email addresses and cell phone numbers (even though they claim to have never provided that information directly to him via his web page), there don’t appear to be many other ways

My understanding is that these boxes were automatically checked … it has since been adjusted so that personal information is no longer being automatically provided to the mayor and/or councillors

I swear to gawd that those who write these memos get paid by the word Strip out anything that has been covered in previous memos, get rid of anything that reads like “opinion”, and you’d have it down to - at most - two tight paragraphs

I’d like to know why every memo written for some reason seems to assume that the reader has completely forgotten about any precious discussions, presentations, or memos on the subject Honestly, strip out the redundancy and you’d have it down to two short paragraphs
