In my previous post I took my dog for a walk and we had a wonderful time wandering my neighbourhood and seeing looking the state of house. At this point, we have to take a step back and look at the City as a whole. On Saturday night I tweeted out the first piece of … Continue reading Housing Stock – Lets get depressing 😛

So I Took My Dog for a Walk
So summer is here and for me that means taking Lucy on lots of walks. Being a 8 lb chihuahua, the cool temperatures of the late fall through early spring  drains her interest in going outside and walking the neighbourhood. But now that summer has arrived several walks per day are the norm, which has … Continue reading So I Took My Dog for a Walk
How an Astronaut Made it More Expensive to Fly from #YQG
Porter Airlines plan was to expand Billy Bishop Airport by extending the runway into Lake Ontario.

Although the CS 100 series has suffered from a … Continue reading How an Astronaut Made it More Expensive to Fly from #YQG
A response to @WindsorCAMPP #YQG #megahospital
Phillippa from CAMPP posted some comment yesterday in response to my post and I tried to post this in the comments of my last post "What's Wrong with these Graphs" but it wouldn't work (to long).

What’s Wrong With These Graphs?
I generally haven't used this blog to comment other groups and their points of view but I have seen a number of graphs that just rubbed me the wrong way.

Questions and Comments about the #Megahospital
Last week saw the announcement of the location of Windsor's new "Mega-Hospital" announced, with it being situated on County Road 42 and Lauzon Parkway. There has been much debate about the announced location on twitter but for me it is the unanswered questions that have peaked my interest.

#Windsor2035 – City and Region
In Windsor-Essex County we like to think of ourselves as one region but no matter how you look it, we aren't, in fact it is much more complicated than the simplistic city vs county narrative that is often shared. Statistics Canada defines our region as 1 County; 8 Census divisions and municipalities; 1 CMA (consisting … Continue reading #Windsor2035 – City and Region
