Academics who do this are a disgrace to the profession. They aren't coerced in any way, yet still stand up for corporate power.

That's correct. The Chair's role is to provide an objective account of the debate to Council, and a rationale for the RPC's decision. From there the Councillor/Chair can vote how they wish.

You know what they don't have? A safe way to bike or walk from anywhere south of the bridge. The sidewalk is literally an injury waiting to happen along Albert, and cycling is a gamble.
