    Working on the Railroads

    I’ve lived in London for more than 20 years. That whole time, city councils have been discussing ways to fix traffic woes presented by CP and CN railways that run through the city. Sometimes it seemed they were planning on a hope and a prayer that CN and CP would magically stop sending trains through London (and remember many of the traffic problems are the results poor planning decisions by the city as it grew around the tracks).

    I have a lot of respect for Councillor Jesse Helmer. He and I don’t always agree, but he was absolutely correct when he told the London Free Press this week that it is time to stop “stringing people along” on the idea that city hall can convince CP and CN to share tracks, or do anything else that will cut the train traffic in London (see: http://lfpress.com/news/local-news/rail-relocation-dreams-dashed-in-london-for-now).

    It is time face facts: Continue Reading

    Time for Someone New to Represent Ward 2

    I’m literally on the wrong side of the tracks to be able to say I live in Ward 2. But arbitrary lines on a map don’t define community.  I’ve called east London’s Argyle neighbourhood home for more than 20 years.

    Argyle—or Ward 2—is where I work, shop, and play. It’s where my heart is. Home. Continue Reading

    Bus Rapid Transit, an Argyle Neighbourhood Viewpoint

    As chair of the Argyle Community Association, I have been pressing the City of London to hold public information sessions on the proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plan outside of the Central Library and in neighbourhoods where people live.  This week, BRT information  FINALLY came east of Highbury, when the Argyle Community Association hosted city staff at an information session at Clarke Road Secondary School.

    What I learned in trying to get people to attend was that people feel that this is a done deal, that there is nothing they can do to stop, change, or improve it. They feel nothing they have to say is genuinely going to be listened to. Continue Reading

    The Election Sign By-Law Must Be Consistent and Fair

    You don’t have to love election signs, but they are an important part of our election process. They are a relatively low cost way to let the public know who is running in their area, and especially important for those running against an established incumbent. Continue Reading

As we celebrate #MerryChristmas2020 a bit differently this year, let’s remember over 2000 @CanadianForces are deployed on 20 different missions and because of COVID aren’t able to get leave or need to quarantine 14 days before seeing their families.

#ThankYou to our #LdnOnt outside workers, on the job on Christmas Day! As much as we want folks to stay home, having roads clear for emergency services is as critical as ever.
Thanks to @LdnOntFire @lpsmediaoffice @MLPS911 away from family on duty today to keep us safe. https://t.co/tF2dHamZB2

Since we can’t gather for Christmas socials this season, I thought one way to spread a little holiday cheer would be to share some of the awesome #LdnOnt light displays in Ward 2:
