Just finally, what is it that this motion is asking for, finally?

We want to be able to protect the quality of life of our residents.

And this is a motion that moves us in the direction that people are crying out for.

In fact, this is, I think, the heart cry of many people in our city.

There should be consequences when you do something wrong.

And people who make their mufflers extra noisy to try to prove their masculinity are driving really fast down our streets, they should have consequences.

And currently we don't have the capacity to be out there overnight enforcing in a way that is effective at stopping this behavior.

Finally, what's the timeline here?

It's hard to build consensus if you don't give details to people.

Well, I think we've seen this, uh, repeatedly from this provincial government, and it definitely erodes trust because how can we even respond to something that is fuzzy, a fuzzy idea of a, of an airport expansion without concrete plans? And one would think that if they were serious about this, you would have to have something concrete upon which you can consult, and instead it just became this notion that we all had to organize around.

And I'm grateful that there's a stay, but I don't think the debate is over because time and again Torontonians have lost their voice.

And I think this goes back to a really big issue in Canada that needs to be addressed.

I don't know who can address it, but the Constitution needs to be revisited because cities currently have no role in the Constitution.

We are a creature of the province, and over and over again, we, our voices, our planning is overridden by the province.

I'm still- Heartbroken about the closure, upcoming closures of outdoor education schools-

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm.

One of the hardest things to do, and most expensive in our city, is to close a road.

And it's really frustrating because people will notice that when you have protests of thousands and thousands of people, no one pays for a permit.

They take over the street, and the police respond accordingly.

But if you are going to do something positive and shut down a street, it takes a long time.

It's very expensive.

You have to hire police.

Mm.

How do you architect something truly integrated, beyond cash or boxes of product? Stack the value.

Pair modest funding with skills-based volunteering.

Engineers shipping a lightweight site revamp, ops folks tightening their CRM, marketers co-building a campaign.

That expertise is priceless to most nonprofits.

Then add co-branded content, blog posts, webinars, a joint data brief, so you both show up as problem solvers, not headline hunters.

What's a clean KPI for the nonprofit?

Pick what aligns with their mission, people served by the new program you launched together, dollars raised via the co-branded campaign, volunteer hours your team contributed, or infrastructure improved, say, new intake system deployed.

The key is you define it together so nobody feels like a prop in someone else's marketing.

Mm.

These meetings should be going through everything on the calendar and aligning closures far in advance.

Because most of these closures shouldn't just be surprise closures.

They should be things that are scheduled months out.

So, you know, half of our job, well, my job, I think, is bringing divisions together to try to solve complex problems.

It's incredibly difficult and, uh, and I appreciate Councilor Myers' efforts, and I know people are disappointed that this didn't happen in advance of Mother's Day.

But if it took a pain point to do something that is substantially going to make things better, then I think we should leverage this moment and, uh, and figure out how we build interdivisional conversations that are just built into the process.

I can't always do it with an elderly parent or a kid."

but also elitist, you're not going to have a lot of corporate support to me.

Well, you know, the city has invested $1.7 million in events that are happening across the city.

And I would have liked to see that budget get adjusted because now we're doubling down on this huge FanFest at $25 million.

And if you consider, you know, New York, New Jersey, they have scaled back their planned FanFest.

Seattle has also scaled it back.

You know, cities across North America have scaled back or even canceled their FanFest because of escalating costs, and one of the huge costs that are escalating is security.

Such a large-scale event, you have to pay for a lot of security, and those escalating costs have really impacted the bottom line.

And it's been more cutting than spending at the TDSB, hasn't it?
