The Heemskerkgracht was dislodged and moved out of the way in the Seaway on Saturday morning.

Mayor Plante said Friday that she can’t get mixed up in the scrum between the provincial and federal governments over temporary foreign workers. She’s only concerned that everyone gets the shelter and services they need.
Ian
That’s uncharacteristically prudent. I wonder if there is some “common knowledge” in certain circles and she is avoiding stepping on toes.
Kate
Well, she can’t solve the problem, and as far as I know the city and its boroughs don’t employ temporary foreign workers (if I’m wrong about this, please let me know). So she’s wise not to take sides in the matter.

The city and its boroughs outsource much of what cities used to do themselves, so I think looking at who is on the city payroll may be beside the point.

24Hres has a reasonable piece here on the need for sponge parks in a heavily paved city, but then distracts from it with a brief disquisition on how businessman François Lambert thinks they’re a lefty fad.

What a random reference to that asshole snowflake dude.
Anyway, sponge parks are totally consistent with conservative philosophy – what’s more conservative than taking the learned experience of managing the natural world (in a low-tech way) and applying it in an urban context?
Ian
I guess they just needed an excuse to attribute the cool headline but maintain the pretense of being unbiased journalists?
Conservation and conservativism have the same etymological roots, bui the practices couldn’t be further apart. For dopes like Lambert it just means status quo, I guess he’d like to see the city put out RFPs for bigger sewers.Joey
He’s clearly a proponent of more current conservatism, which is focused almost exclusively on pissing off ‘liberals.’
