Graham Crawford Show - The Cityist, Report Card

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Straight talk about the Councillor from Ward 8 and his so-called "report".As you probably know, Ward 8 Councillor Terry Whitehead produced a 58 page ‘report’, and I use the term loosely, that was essentially a Googled grab bag of articles and documents related to LRT.For me, what’s just as troubling as is the report’s content, is the report’s intent. Why would a Councillor choose to spend money from residents creating a report when we have professional staff and consultants who do that very thing for a living? Why did the Councillor choose not to ask staff to do this kind of anti-LRT research if he had misgivings about the validity of the data that was being used by staff, by Metrolinx, and by municipalities and higher levels of government throughout North America, Europe and most of the rest of the world?I think we need to question Councillor Whitehead’s actions. Or, for that matter, any Councillor who would choose to do something similar.In this edition of the Cityist, I list 10 things to question.Click below and listen to the podcast._________________________________________________________________Graham Crawford Show with your host, Graham CrawfordExecutive Producer: Alex ZaferProduced and recorded by Dave Beatty at Q.E.D.
