More whining victimization from the right wing. I don’t understand why they think wrapping their hatred in victimhood is going to win them sympathy. It will not.
I don’t buy this argument, sorry. The anti- NiMBY argument is made by developers, like Donald Trump. People rhe Charbonneau Commission dubbed ‘organized crime’ in Canada.
Infill destroys communities, creates social conflict and makes the one place safe to raise a family, less safe. Affordable housing should not used to redevelop existing neighborhoods, it should be used to clean contaminated land and build new communities on it, in my opinion.
The whole thing seems ridiculous. But, that’s part of the cover. They want people to think that it’s too outrageous to be possible, but why was he parading teenage girls around Stephen Hawking? Why did he host a gravity conference at all? There’s a major disconnect we’re still not seeing.
There’s a lot of information on Unpublished.ca about the WAR the community fought against Taggart back in the day. See: https://unpublished.ca/users/lucie-r%C3%A9gimbald
It may have the approvals but that was a time when Rick Chiarelli and Ms. Taggart held hands around the Committee table (I witnessed it personally) and no one said or did anything. I could list other examples of blatant corruption around the decision making process, the pressure exuded by local liberal MPs, etc., but you get the idea.
It was a bad decision then bc it’s not geologically suited for it, so the city buying it now is a terrible idea, IMO. More gifts their developer donors.
