I will be live-tweeting Regina city council meetings from this account. When the tweets start coming, they will be furious & fast & keep up for hours. Not for the faint of heart. You have been warned.
And! Today is your last full day to enter CJTR's 50/50 Raffle. Pot is over $9000!

CJTR has provided the QCIB w/ a home on the electromagnetic spectrum for TEN YEARS! Doing that show is part of why I keep live tweeting these meetings!

Here is the vote on Burton's "buy base-tax enabled software" (which, you'll recall, CFO says has already been investigated & rejected so they don't need it): Fails 3 to 8.
Only Tsiklis, Burton & Rashovich vote in favour. #yqrcc
November 20, 2025 at 4:29 AM
Mayor is bringing the items from the motion forward. Tsiklis & Bezo are left to speak to this. They do not. Burton to close is all that's left. #yqrcc

November 20, 2025 at 4:19 AM
Okay… votes on the "City of Regina's Role in Well-Being and Homelessness" report. First up, vote on item 5: $820k for wellbeing plan homelessness plan & encampment response plan.

Passes 7 to 4. Bezo, Burton, Rashovich & Tsiklis vote against. #yqrcc
November 20, 2025 at 4:18 AM
Burton: I appreciate the work being done here but we have a very tough budget coming up here. It's huge. Right now, I want us to push the prov govt to provide that extra funding so I would ask that we vote on item 5 separately. #yqrcc
November 20, 2025 at 3:12 AM
Admin: The $820k would include the homelessness coordinator for the encampment policy & operation. Obviously, from staff capacity perspective, it would make it challenging to oversee that new approach. #yqrcc
November 20, 2025 at 3:07 AM
Burton: The city can't do this alone, we need support from the provincial govt. We have tough discussions coming up in December. I expect a torch & fork parade. Will we know about the funding in item 5 by the time for budget in Dec? #yqrcc
November 20, 2025 at 3:04 AM
Item 8 is updated to specify that $800k is being received from the province to support the warming centre initiatives. #yqrcc
November 20, 2025 at 2:21 AM

Incidentally, Flores passed a motion at exec expanding (encampment response) item from text at left to longer text at right. Among other things, it expands consultation on response to include "Indigenous leadership, frontline service providers, and individuals with lived experience" #yqrcc

Here is the full text of Florence's presentation. She is super knowledgeable and it's worth reading but I can't keep up with her. #yqrcc

Vote on council appointments w/ amendment of Turnbull being on RDBID instead of Mancinelli. Really, not huge changes here from last year. Passes. #yqrcc

THere was a communication on council appointments. There was a citizen objection to Bezo being on the REAL board as he received a donation from the Semple family during the election.
#yqrcc
November 19, 2025 at 10:00 PM
On the citizen appointments to the committees & boards, this communication came in. it objects to the board appointments to the Downtown BID board. There's a concern about how this relates to the Street Team.
(Which… I don't think it does?)
