Blocked storm drains =
more ice
more flooding
more road damage
Snow doesn’t disappear when a lane is “closed.”
It piles, melts, refreezes and finds the lowest point.
That lowest point is usually the road.
Infrastructure neglect costs more later.
Contact Council before 9am Dec 16.

Councillor @philallt.bsky.social and I were twinning tonight in our pink shirts in advance of #PinkShirtDay. Inclusion should be core. Don’t vote for bullies. They pick the easy targets and work their way up. We are seeing this in action in the States. Be better.

When a disabled person asks for an accommodation, the response shouldn't be:
You'll need to
- Meet with us for multiple unnecessary discussions.
- Run an advocacy campaign.
- Join a committee.
- Promote it for us and ensure it's popular.
Quit putting unpaid labour on us. Just do the thing.
