The final page of the financial report on the Missing Middle Initiative written by the Coriolis Consulting Corp is available at City Hall. Well hidden within the conclusion is this line: The financial viability of the missing middleB次元官网网址�.is marginal. (page 13)

It takes a lot of hubris to run for mayor in a city where you are not a resident. It would be like running to be an MLA in B.C. when you are a resident of Alberta, or running to be an MP in Canada when you are a resident of the United States. When will this nonsense end?

Well, IB次元官网网址檝e opened a can of worms in trying to raise awareness that the highly invasive shiny geranium is present in the CRD.

CRDB次元官网网址檚 severe weather claim is blown away by history and science.

Metathesiophobia B次元官网网址� a phobia that causes people to avoid changing their circumstances due to being extremely afraid of the unknown B次元官网网址� seems to rule SidneyB次元官网网址檚 community planning process.

At one time I thought Premier John Horgan was good for B.C., however, when he stated Highway 14 was a bad road I thought he may have lost it. There really are no bad roads, it is the lawbreakers that are whatB次元官网网址檚 bad on a road.

I would like to point out with regards to changes in downtown Sidney, the previous council approved development permits for the high-rises being built, not the present council. At the next municipal election, remember to not elect pro-development candidates. The charm of a seaside town has about disappeared.

How ironic that B.C.B次元官网网址檚 premier announces his government will be spending an estimated $789 million of taxpayer dollars to replace a 54-year-old complex which currently houses the Royal BC Museum and the next day he is suggesting to the same people that they try not to use their cars or if possible ask a friend to give them a ride in order to save money on gasoline.

I write in response to a letter written by Ron Baker, B次元官网网址淒onB次元官网网址檛 blame the current council for development disruptions,B次元官网网址� published in the May 12 Peninsula B次元官网网址 Review insofar as it references densification and construction disruption in Sidney.
