The police state city council in my town voted down to open the massive hardly used military (federal) training and indoor storage centre (20,000 sq feet) last week to open as an emergency shelter.
We have had 3 solid weeks of -23C (around - 40F) weather here which is unusual ( another story) here - damaging pipes underground, all kinds of nonsense.
I hate my city government so much for their lack of policy work that makes sense in any way. You wonder why I spoke out or ran for council all this years.
That is good reason.
