The Process Recently there has been a lot of discussion around a possible gaming facility and a referendum in Kingston. I want to take this opportunity to speak directly to residents about my views and our collective challenges and opportunities.

Hall Monitor: House of Cards
You know, council in the summer is interesting. The meetings are less frequent, just as long… and people are hot and wanting to go home. This was just as clear in last night’s meeting 18-2012 as ever. You can find the agenda and addeds on the city’s website. The meeting got off to a pretty quick [...]

One day it’s gorgeous enough for shorts, and the next we’re forced to bring our mittens and toques out of the shortest retirement in history.

Norman Rogers Aiport Luggage Lotto
Anyone departing Kingston’s Norman Rogers Airport has played this game – “will my luggage make it to Toronto” – let alone the final destination? A relatively recent decision by Air Canada has resulted in the termination of AC Jazz DH1 service to Kingston, and a new sub-contract to Air Alliance, which flies tiny and apparently [...]
