Oh for fucks sake. I've seen racier drag scenes in Bugs Bunny cartoons. If you're hauling kids out the Globe over that? It says more about your dirty imagination than what's on stage.

And once again… sitting in the middle, riling up Regina's tight assed, podunk, moral minority, there's Just Bins doing RCAAN's dirty business.

Last week's Queen City Improvement Bureau is up on youtube now. In it, we talk about the Big Beautiful Brandt Deal, and a former mayor's claims that tales of his "multiple 0% mill rate increases" are "a myth." (Spoilers: We checked. Not a myth.) youtu.be/V_pgpU8ADkc?si=RiiM… #yqrcc

ICYMI, during the council meeting on the Brandt Deal, former mayor Fiacco was asked about his multiple 0% mill rate increases to which he replied, "Oh no I didn't!" To which I respond, "Oh yes you did. And then some." youtube.com/live/FNeJ-KzncZI… #yqrcc

During today's council meeting, former mayor Fiacco stated that claims that he passed multiple zero percent mill rate increases was "a myth." He said they only passed one 0% in 2009
In a short video update, I looked at / debunked that claim: youtube.com/live/FNeJ-KzncZI… #yqrcc

Incidentally, the pic we used for the episode title card is a reaction shot of Pat Book right after Councillor Mark Burton asked him a question that references Donald Trump. We'll have to post a clip of that soon because it's one for the ol' City Council Scrap Book. #yqrcc

Today's executive committee meeting will be a hell of a ride. 10 councillors will decide the fate of a significant chunk of public land in the heart of the city. Will they sell it to a billionaire or not? My guess is: Yup. We begin prostrating ourselves before wealth at 9am.

In fact, I expect they will not only vote to sell the land without any kind of 3rd party review, they'll ask Semple what colour bow he'd like them to wrap the REAL District in. Oh… the sycophancy that will be on display today will be quite nauseating. #yqrcc

Last time Semple addressed council, some councillors addressed him as "Shaun" and how delighted they were to be using a billionaire's first name just oozed out of their every pore. They made the youtube feed sticky.
