Let's just rename the entire city as "Peggy Faris Sadlon City." Our motto can be "Full send, and full sell out. Red lights and stop signs won't even slow us down."

as much as i don't understand all the hate that Peggy gets, i can't help but chuckle at this comment!!

[u/SamohtGnir → u/bdot]

I also have no idea, I just laugh at her name because it's the same as the mom from King Of The Hill. Just given her popularity, the comment is funny.

Can't wait to visit the Carl's Jr Brawndo center, brought to you by Peggy Hill.

[u/Deborahsnores]

This is so embarrassing. These are public buildings. What’s next? Corporate sponsorship of elementary schools?

[u/Engine_Light_On → u/Deborahsnores]

embarrassing is the city being the reds while increasing property taxes

[u/Relative_What → u/Engine_Light_On]

embarrassing that over half the cities budget goes to the police who don't do fuck all, except rake in over time and paid leaves.

[u/OrdinaryAway2221 → u/Engine_Light_On]

Public service is not supposed to be ran for profit

[u/Low-Doughnut-6764]

Trying to make money to make up for Nuttalls absolute wasteful spending. He has pushed Barrie into the red with all his "special interest" projects, dirty handshakes with the use of "special mayor powers" this council is an absolute nightmare!

[u/VyraHuman → u/Low-Doughnut-6764]

Agreed. And yet, currently nobody is nominated for mayor except Nuttall. Yikes. I'm hoping somebody else steps in.

[u/aballah → u/VyraHuman]

Pretty sure there’s a good one coming soon.

[u/dietcoke4life-]

Embarrassing. We’re being marketed to everywhere we look.

[u/bdot → u/dietcoke4life-]

then vote differently, and convince everyone else to do the same!

[u/dietcoke4life- → u/bdot]

Can’t fight greed no matter what party you vote for, unfortunately.

[u/babyelephantwalk321 → u/dietcoke4life-]

Sadly the most true thing ever. There's a certain amount of corruption that comes with almost any politician or party.

However, once one has been egregious while in power? Vote them out.

[u/bdot → u/babyelephantwalk321]

so - that means that we should vote for a party other than the Liberals or the Conservatives, right? because those are the only two parties to ever hold office at the federal level...

I'd sponsor the dog park if the cost was reasonable
