He’s ridiculously car brained and obsessed with alcohol too
$400 million could house a lot of people. Nah, let's house empty cars! /s
All those cyclists he's forcing off of roadways are going to need somewhere to park their new cars. It is clearly the only solution to congestion....
Don't worry. Once cyclists are in cars, the sights will be set on pedestrians. Everybody will need to be in a car, and then, only then, will traffic congestion disappear!
He signed a contract with a fake company to build a private spa on public land, and part of that contract mandated that the government build them a massive parking lot within 650m of that spa.
Of course, because the spa is on a man made island in the lake, that vastly limits where that parking garage can go, and makes burying it extremely expensive, so instead they're proposing a massive wall of a garage that will block the view of the lake.
Flat out incompetence.
Flat out ~~incompetence~~ corruption
Don't worry the massive wall of concrete will "blend in" with the waterfront view...
The Trump of Canada. What a prick.
His brother was fun he had enough to eat at home.
Excuse my ignorance, but 400 Million? HOW FUCKING BIG IS THIS THING GONNA BE?
Five stories.
checks the headline
That checks out.
Amazing building a house of concrete is deemed too expensive but there is no shortage of money to build concrete garages
ford is a blight that needs to be eradicated.
