- This is from March, and it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere since, partly because it sounds like he didn't talk to Indigenous people first. Also: a waste of time, because Ford will never agree to this designation in a million years, and because the system has no mechanism to generate revenue that way. Yes, revenue generated here should stay here, but this isn't the way to do it. Politically completely impossible
EN: This is from March, and it seems to have gone nowhere since, in part because it doesn’t sound like he talked to the First Nations first Also: huge waste of time, because no way in a million years that Ford will agree to - What would you suggest otherwise? Genuinely asking because I'm interested.
EN: What would you suggest otherwise? Genuinely asking because I am interested. - I appreciate the genuine question. I'd say the way not to do it is to pretend you've found a loophole around Doug Ford that depends entirely on Ford/his proxies' personal approval. That approach is fundamentally flawed, and it becomes even less viable when you realize the legislation and process for economic zones don't allow what's proposed here. Also: the nature of economic zones means they can be abolished on a whim by the same ministry. So even if you did
EN: I appreciate the genuine ask. I’ll say that the way not to do it is to pretend to have found a loophole around Doug Ford when said loophole is entirely dependent on the personal approval of Ford / his proxies. It is an a
3. Lefebvre wants the city to develop a rat management and mitigation strategy
Original English title:Lefebvre wants the city to develop a rat management and mitigation strategy
Post content summary:Just a reminder to call 311 and report addresses of houses and apartments that leave loose garbage or garbage bags on the street. Main food source for rats. Reporting is really easy. You call and talk to a person - they told me garbage can only go out on the morning of garbage day, and I can report anyone who doesn't do that. Maybe then homeowners and landlords will get a clue and take steps to reduce the resources available to rats.

- Being near the airport shouldn't be a requirement! There's nothing near the airport. New Sudbury is about a 20-minute drive, Garson about 10 minutes...
EN: Near the airport should NOT be a requirement! There is nothing near the airport.. New Sudbury is ~20mins drive, Garson would be ~10mins... - One-bedroom rents start around $1400, with the average around $1600. I'd suggest avoiding basement units that landlords/owners like. Unfortunately, there are a lot of slumlords here. Try to go with professionally managed apartments, I've had better experiences. Housing near the airport... well, the airport is kind of in the middle of nowhere. There isn't much housing of any kind near the airport. If you want to check prices there, the nearest town is Falconbrid
EN: Rentals start at about $1400 on the low end for a 1 bedroom, average around $1600. I'd recommend avoiding basement units where the landlord/owner loves above you. There are a lot of slumlords here unfortunately. Try to c - Also Garson, which is further from the airport but in between/closer to the rest of Sudbury. Yeah, unfortunately, he'll probably need a car.
EN: There’s also Garson, further from the airport but kind of in between / closer to the rest of Sudbury. And yeah he’ll probably need a car, unfortunately. - There's no bus to the airport either, right? That's just crazy.
EN: That too, still no buses to the airport right? That's actually crazy.
