City Distemper: Housing Supply and Garbage Service

city distemper: A few weeks prior, London did the same thing, joining early adopters Toronto and Hamilton, according to The Waterloo Record. Now Regina, Winnipeg and Fredericton are making plans. Last month Montreal declared itself a sanctuary city. While there's no direct evidence Waterloo Region is also about to succumb, given council's famous susceptibility to whatever big city distemper is going around unnecessary reductions in garbage service, deliberate and counterproductive curbs on housing supply, obscenely expensive transit infrastructure projects etc. we certainly can't rule out the possibility. It's bad news. As such, we should be doing everything we can to prevent the spread of sanctuary city-itis to Waterloo Region. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
