And Pippa is a near neighbour. She never. Okay, right. Why? Because the dividing line is Daviliers, houses on the northern side. Okay, so there's a kind of separation that does make that kind of

They do not have a strong civic association joined at the hip for decades. They do not have one, okay? But in two different worlds, two separate councillors, the Joint Civic Association, RMCA, seems to have fallen by the wayside.

When these applications reopen. Mike in Newlands is on the line to us. Mike, you want to talk about the fuel price? Hi. Yeah, hi, Jan. I do. You know, many years ago, I had a car, I sold that.

Infrastructure in the Greenpoint area. And we, of course, feel that very intensely on event days. And that's why I think there has to be some very serious thinking about how we get people out of their cars on events day. And that's honestly not difficult. There are so many different ways one could think about that. So again, it goes back to that question of: well, we can fix that bit, but what happens downstream of that? And can the system handle that? And can it handle more cars?

To become the capital and the administrative capital of the province, where there is the legislature and major provincial government offices.
