MEMO TO: @hfxgov councillors.
Can surplus land be sold for $1.00 to accommodate #AffordableHousing? Can permit fees, subdivision fees, and zone amendment fees be waived when affordable housing projects are in the making? #CBRM #HRM #Halifax @CBRMGov saltwire.com/cape-breton/op…

We are grateful to Coun. Gordon MacDonald @tobinroader for keeping affordable housing on council agenda. As has been pointed out around the council table, affordable housing is not a municipal responsibility.
Thankfully though this doesn’t mean it can’t be a municipal priority.

@marcilync1 @infomorning Change was certainly on the minds of Richmond County voters who rejected re-election bids of four incumbents.

@marcilync1 @infomorning Marchand was the same clown who came up with this gem back in February:
Warden Brian Marchand said councillors did not oppose the idea at Monday's meeting, but they didn't support it, either. #Karma

@marcilync1 @infomorning @tomayers2262 Lots of change blowing through the corridors of power, following 2020 municipal elections in NS.
Amanda McDougall, who toppled career politician @CecilPClarke, is new mayor of @CBRMGov. She was actually criticized by some for 'running while pregnant'.

We love getting questions about mining, minerals and geology! We were asked about the historical MacLean Brook #gold mine in #CapeBreton Regional Municipality:

The first written reference to a gold mine in MacLean Brook was in a Geological Survey of Canada report in 1876. There do not appear to any other written references to the mine until the early 1990s.

There are counter-examples of most things in life. But one of the areas of concern I see repeatedly in #CapeBreton is the downgraded probability of success that is necessary to apply to our biggest hail mary strategies based on failure to perform on some basic core competencies.
We have a sense of a competency-drain. This isn't to say there aren't brilliant, competent people who live here. I know several of them just within my small circle of colleagues, each with their own area of brilliance. But we can't defy economics.
Markets seek out and compensate, in a competitive manner, the best talent they can find. Stronger markets with more resources and more opportunity naturally can make a better offer to all candidates. Thus, they can drain talent from weaker markets. And we're a weaker market.
