Tariff talk returns to city hall
I failed to properly link to councillor Cori Ramsey’s post on her time at the budget yesterday. Thanks to Mandi for pointing out the error — here is the correct link. And, actually, an excerpt because it’s worth highlighting a bit more her takeaways as a local governmnet rep:
Of note was the increased funding for HEART/HEARTH to support communities experiencing homelessness, funding for addiction, treatment and recovery, funding to address the healthcare shortage, as well as funding for community safety to address street disorder and repeat violent offenders. All these items are supported by UBCM resolutions many local governments have been advocating for. Finally, tariffs were a huge topic within the budget and we do not yet know how this will impact the province.
