I don't normally retweet praise but since this is a poll of the people of Barrie, I just want to say how much it means to me to have the support from my residents as I leave office. Thank you so much for the honour of being your Mayor these last 12 years. What a ride.
In my final post about #onpoli Municipal elections, I'd like to personally say Congratulations to my friend Mayor @jedi_lehman for ending his 12 years as Mayor on top, most politicians don't retire with this kind of approval rating Thanks for your public service Jeff, farewell

Over the last few days leading up to today's election, we have been recognizing our member Mayors who will be moving on from their Mayoral offices. Thank you for your dedication and service to your municipalities and to OBCM. Last but certainly not least today @jedi_lehman

Exactly. I think Jarrett Walker has outlined a better approach. Consult the public on big, inherent trade-offs, but then implement the requirements for development to work. Don't just go to the public with blue sky open questions, or nothing will get done.

Focusing on trade-offs allows for a straight-forward conversation about the things that matter: what goals to value over what. Otherwise, we're stuck making small, insufficient changes on what already exists.

Sunset on Election Eve, and the choice tomorrow is clear. On housing, schools, and health care - do we choose a government that serves its political base, or a government that will serve for all of us. #onpoli

Aerial shot of Brøndby Haveby (Brøndby Garden City) just outside Copenhagen in Denmark. This circular community of communities was built in 1964 to design of “genius landscape architect Erik Mygind.” #archaeohistories

In an extremely rare moment of candour on Russian state TV today, defence columnist Mikhail Khodaryonok gave a damning assessment of Russia's war in Ukraine and his country's international isolation. It's fairly long but worth your time so I've added subtitles.
