We don't need to fix the transit system.
Nor do we need improved bus terminals.
We don't need better health care or tax breaks NO No No !

What we need is another convention centre paid for WITH OUR TAXES.
Bigger, taller with even less downtown parking than we have now !

NONE of that other stuff is nearly as important as a new Convention Centre... a new building for the political & politically connected to have their conventions in !

There are also residual elements from the stuff that are magnified as they go up the food chain and into our food.

Something tells me a whole new way of dealing with this will come from such a "hands on approach"...which is why there isn't a snowballs chance in hell any of these windbags we presently have representing the various districts will allow any of that shit on their property.
But wouldn't it be great if they did do it & get what I believe, they truely deserve !

This setup maintains local representation while also allowing citizens with certain interests who are dispersed throughout the city to be adequately represented.

I see the concern about the quiet voices getting even quieter, but the opposite is also possible.
Posted by issmat]]> Sat, 28 Aug 2010 11:56:56 -0300 The Coast Halifax In effect you would entrench the councillors to an even greater effect than now and I don't see how that would change anything.
If people want less councillors then I would like to hear who they want to remove from the city hall landscape.
You and others need to adddress the issue of councillors serving on municipal boards and committees and if they should be replaced by citizens.
In Toronto the council had the last meeting on Friday August 27.
