I suppose we need blood in addition to beer.

Is CBS moving from Broad and Broadway? That would be a great spot for condos.

The Catholic school division is complaining a bit, but I don't think that's going to amount to anything. The new location is by Sacred Heart school. So has Pine Lodge been in temporary digs or has that help just been completely unavailable the last year? Important work.

It's hard to tell if The Mayor is posting new stuff or not most of the time...is this a new announcement, or just a news article about an announcement we've already discussed here?

Hahaha. He’s in the right industry. For the longest time I didn’t think gruel was a real thing and it was just a made up word for something gross as in “Krusty brand imitation gruel”.

Could we not post corporate PR on here? Not that the corporate media is that much better but posting a media article on it is still preferable, especially given Brandt's polarizing track record as an employer (from what I hear, as well as here and here) and their continued insistence to build a commercial property in Wascana Park.

Nah. I don't think you know what a Karen or Ken is. Those people scream about identity politics. All I'm doing is holding power to account. The Semples don't deserve uncritical treatment, especially because of how they treat their employees but also because how much effort they put in to avoid paying taxes in this city and province. Also, I clearly don't care what anyone here thinks about me so I'm not sure why you are pretending to look out for my image.
