I forgot to mention that when I arrived yesterday and looked at the lists. At the top of the list for the "opposed" side is Jill Van Toll, who you may remember was the first person to speak in opposition of the Brentwood SAP. I wonder if she could repeat her role as the most valuable player for the "in favour" side.

1300 eh? Council can't stay up late at night and be ready to go again in the morning?

Here's hoping Jill pulls it off again, nothing like starting off the opposed section with some loony non-cohesive arguments!

Is Diane C-U still around, or is she officially on leave to run for provincial office?

frinkprof · #**123** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 4:50 PM**

^She was present yesterday, but didn't seem to ask any questions during the time I was there.

She doesn't officially go on leave until the byelection is called, likely won't be until September. That said, I doubt most people will even notice her absence then. Global did manage to get a quick sound bite out of her last night, which sounded pretty much like a 'say something without saying anything' comment.

...and we're back and talking about the airport tunnel again... grrrrrrr

Why can't the mayor step in and stop these negative speakers from speaking during the time allocated for those in favour?

mooky · #**127** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 8:05 PM**

Nasheed did pretty well.

Hmmm, I wonder how long till we get to some of our SSP comrades?

Bigtime · #**128** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 8:59 PM**

Fusili is up right now.

Edit: He dropped some mad stats in his presentation.

mooky · #**129** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 9:08 PM**

aye! That he did, I just hope those stats don't just get sorta glossed over by certain members of council that seem to have there minds made up.

Bigtime · #**130** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 10:01 PM**

Beltliner is up right now.

mooky · #**131** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 10:02 PM**

the dorky kid, or the guy in the blue tie?

I'm assuming the guy in the tie by your timestamp

NM, center streeet metro, its him

Bigtime · #**132** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 10:03 PM**

The guy in the blue tie, Will Hamilton.

The dorky kid was good, perhaps leaning a little too much about how anyone with a kid wants a single family home, but his enthusiasm for the plan came through very well.

Since I don't know where to go to watch this circus unfold it's nice of you guys to give the play by play. I'm glad I went to support the Brentwood TOD last time, but this just seems way too crazy for me. Anyone know approx. the numbers of supporters vs. detractors? Hopefully the retired and unemployed don't crowd everyone else out (What am I saying I'm now unemployed haha

). Well I guess I mean the crazy bored unemployed then.

Btw. I'm sure McIver was bought by the home builder's association months ago.

Bigtime · #**134** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 10:09 PM**

Ughh, I'm getting tired of these speakers coming up "in favour" but are just glossing over quickly and getting into stuff they don't like about Plan It.

mooky · #**135** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 10:15 PM**

A fair number of no-shows on the list of speakers, hrm!

Hopefully the "against" crowd is as hard hit by waiting attrition.

Yeah, are they really for it, or just up there to bitch about trivial little things that really don't have any bearing on the overall scope of planit.

Riise · #**136** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 10:15 PM**

Does anyone know which speaker they are on and how many are left? I'd like to know if I have enough time to get ready, head down, and support this biyatch!

mooky · #**137** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 10:18 PM**

Here we go with McIver putting words in peoples mouths and twisting things. damn McIver!

mooky · #**138** Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 10:31 PM**

To paraphrase McIver again "we don't know what is going to happen in the future, so lets do nothing"

I heard 100 were regisered as speaking in favour, 60 against.

It bugs me how McIver and Chabot are attempting to pick apart arguments made by young people and students in particular who were speaking our in favour of the plan (and then there's that idiot "Dinger" Bell, suggesting people speaking out on Plan|it|should "get a job"). In this era of voter apathy, it is f*cking amazing that some of you young people are so passionate about the future of this city

Bigtime was the last "In Favour" speaker on the list and he was #114 IIRC. The other side couldn't even fill in their sheet properly so I can't give a more specific number; WWW is probably close.
