PACE calling themselves centrist reminds me of how Richard Spencer listed himself as 'moderate' on his Bumble profile.

Gotta love how they say they want to be "open for business" and then criticize the extremely pro-business zoning bylaw

Ashley Salvador did an AMA on Reddit today:
Nothing too enlightening in her responses, but I certainly appreciate her engagement. (I prefer Paquette's candour on Reddit much more though)

Doug Main should have stuck to broadcasting I would never vote for anything he is involved in.
And don’t forget the bike lanes. They would be right at home in Ontario.

Whyyyyyy. They’re not going to pay it anyways. Might as well be $250. But will we actually enforce anything??Public Spaces Bylaw:
- Spitting in Public, $250 fine.
- Illicit drug use in Public, $25 fine.
Went skating at Churchill tonight and had a half dozen drugged up idiots walking around and messing with trees, lights, signage, art pieces etc. multiple peace and police vehicles in sight plus security at city hall. Nothing happened. Such a joke.

^ I have a strong suspicion that it is not the police -- it is the legal system that we have come to witness in abeyance. Why arrest someone that is going to get turned out before the key is in the lock?

What are you suggesting, death penalty for drug use? This isn't Thailand.

^ Wow, what made you jump to that conclusion!

If only there were options between a $25 fine and death by hanging.
Gronk!

You all should just put @trevorhayden on your Ignore Lists since there's nothing worth replying to from this poster.

More jackbooted punishment won't solve anything. Only more equality and more social services will help.

There is value to not creating an echo chamber. Even that dude who uses every FOX News buzzword in his comments occasionally has insights.

In penal battalions, everyone is equal
They even get food, clothing and healthcare provided!

Yeah I was suspicious of TAP when it became the first party to organize and I saw through it, then they combined with PACE.
This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone regarding their views. I don't know what people were expecting with these new political parties that sprung up.

I think life in prison for dealing serious drugs would be a good step. People do serious time for murder. But give fent to 100 people who all die and get 8-14 years? Not to mention all the associated crime with their addictions (assaults, thefts, vandalism).
Cut the branch off near the top. Don’t only focus on leaves.
BUT, in the day to day, we still gotta enforce crap. Like Churchill skating is one of the only places with innocent people trying to have a good time in the public realm of our core DT on a Wednesday. Keep it safe. If you’re not arresting, at least get people moved to the empty gravel parking lots, alleys, and elsewhere. Then screaming threats and vandalizing art at city hall is unacceptable. And we won’t get them all help/houses tomorrow. So we need interim solutions.
