I’m really pleased that my motion to revive the process of building a new Crystal Pool is moving ahead!! It’s going to referendum, where we’ll ask voters for permission to borrow the funds and we’ll give voters a few options on where to put the pool. #yyj https://www.timescolonist.com/local-news/victoria-eyes-referendum-to-kick-start-crystal-pool-replacement-6520364
Victoria eyes referendum to kick-start Crystal Pool replacement

City council voted unanimously Thursday to have staff dust off budgets and plans for a new centre to replace a 52-year-old facility.

Laying off 4 reporters at Capital Daily has sparked a conversation around journalism. Is it time for citizen journalism to fill the gaps if we aren't willing to pay for journalism? #yyj #yyjpoli #VictoriaBC
Hearing news this morning that several Capital Daily reporters have been laid off. This is definitely an issue on news coverage on Vancouver Island. #yyj #yyjpoli #VictoriaBC
It’s official!! The City of Victoria has passed the Missing Middle Housing Initiative. This change allows 6-units on every single-family lot in the city, and up to 12 on corner (double) lots. The policy has excellent provisions to protect green space (45% site coverage), requires two 3-bed units, requires accessible units and at least one suite in condo buildings. This innovative policy will be studied worldwide and will result in climate-smart housing and vibrant neighborhoods. #yyj #yyjpoli
Ok I finally get it: some people just don't want to do anything on housing in BC. #yyj #yyjpoli #VictoriaBC
Is it a hot take that people who are against the missing middle proposal would still be against the types of truly affordable housing units being built in their community? I assume either way the character of the neighborhood would change. #yyj #yyjpoli #VictoriaBC
Why do I pay for a Times Colonist paper subscription when the online and freely available version has news reported on a Monday and I get no paper on Mondays? #yyj #yyjpoli #VictoriaBC

In my latest story for the Globe and Mail, i write about the #Calgary Millennials who’d rather stay in the inner-city and live within walking distance to work, services and amenities. But for those who want to start a family, or have already started one, choices are limited—why?

I went to watch this at the Capital Daily Festival and it was just a talk. I do not understand Adam Stirling's prerogative. To make it a bigger deal than it is just seems weird to me. #yyj #yyjpoli #VictoriaBC
