I'm not sure notifying the public about a survey on the last Friday before Christmas is going to help boost the confidence of the people who already don't trust the independent review into this summer's wildfires in Saskatchewan.

So here's the thing, councillor. I actually work w/ the Cathedral Village Arts Festival & having a donation tin at the door instead of tickets IS a revenue tool. Many CVAF shows make MORE off donations than we could charge for entry.
B/c people are generous.
And they like us. #yqrcc

burton: what this does mean is changing from a voluntary donation bin at the door that is ignored by many to a fee at the door. or whatever innovative revenue solution you can think of. #yqrcc

You know what would make it easier to redirect what EDR is doing? Absorbing them into the city. This idea that council needs to micromanage an outside org because they have no clue what they are doing but they should remain autonomous is frankly ludicrous.

Donnelly: This city is a great place to live thanks to the organizations that receive funding through the community grant program. We need to start valuing art & culture & sport as much as we value infrastructure, the police & transit. #yqrcc

I hope Donald Trump takes the time he has on his flight back to America to actually read the U.S. Constitution — and then negotiate in good faith to end the government shutdown he left behind.

The Queen City Improvement Bureau live anniversary show is Wednesday at 7pm at Artesian. If you're debating about going, please go! I have this fear that the only person who shows up is Clr Burton and if that were to happen, several of the jokes we've written will land very differently. #yqrcc

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

After almost two months of chipping away I finally got that cash register apart and cleaned and degreased the pieces. Look for these parts in future keys and Imagination Generators.
