Oh, and there’s no sidewalks on this street and no plans to add them later.

The increased parking will keep Councilor Cooper happy. He is always complaining that there is not enough parking in new developments and that reduced parking will exclude people with multiple vehicles from being able to live there.

Quote:“Where’s the mayor?” audience members shouted during a 45-minute speech by Adam Cooper of the organizing group Cambridge Neighbourhood Watch.

During that speech, Cooper laid out his view that the criminals and drug addicts in downtown Galt get more compassion from local leaders than the crime victims who are trying to live and do business there.

That was when a woman in the audience shouted a vulgar slur, a slang name for women’s genitalia, to describe McGarry.

The crowd, which numbered several hundred people, erupted in laughter and cheering at that.

And to his eternal disgrace, Cooper did not rebuke their response. Instead, he encouraged it. “That’s a good one,” he said.
