Bailey: For someone who has a pathological lack of patience, the fact that this was the fast one & it still took about 2 years is still a friction I have to deal with. #yqrcc

You could just say "fifteen times". You don't have to say "fifteen ex". #yqrcc

Bailey: The last one being HSB which is a technology firm that is part of the investment attraction. They weren't in the city previously. They have set up shop here & have a growth trajectory of that tends to 15 X over the next 3 to 5 years as they grow. #yqrcc

Ok, in that entire discussion of "film industry", Bailey left the subject out of every sentence & just jumped to the verb so I have no idea WHO did any of the work that he alluded to. (and he didn't describe any work. just alluded to it being done.) #yqrcc

Bailey: Making use of existing assets… to steal a developer term, brownfield development, taking a space previously developed & reinvigorating it. And again, contributing to significant to tax revenue giving folks in that space who're passionate to do that work. #yqrcc

Bailey: Another example that we'll call for now "film industry" but in private we could share the name. That's an industry greatly effected by tax cuts, creating union jobs on film projects. #yqrcc

Bailey: And now going forward, reengaging with that [Cargill] crew to make sure they have the work force they need, the supply chains & value chain & make sure that's located here. #yqrcc

What percentage of your work do you think involves "getting out of the way"? #yqrcc

Bailey: The result was hundreds of millions in construction & adding 55 residents to our city. ["55"] What best exemplifies our work, our role changes as it goes. We go from opportunity finding to connecting to quite frankly in some cases getting out of the way to make sure that plant happens #yqrcc

Bailey: Starting w/ the Cargill Plant that did go into the GTH. [THAT DID GO INTO THE GTH]. Our work started with what opportunities were for development zones around our community. #yqrcc

Flores: Can you tell us what some of your success stories are?
Bailey: We present 3 different significant success stories that touch on different aspects of our work. #yqrcc

I'm sorry. I didn't sleep great last night. And I seem to be in a foul fucking mood. #yqrcc

THIS IS NOT HOW EXAMPLES WORK. THIS IS A COLLECTION OF VAGARIES. #yqrcc

Bailey: For example, when you look at some of the cases outlined, the quickest from concept to landing is 2 years, that's 2 years of continuous work. The longest is over 8. #yqrcc

Bailey: I would caution that further reductions would impact what we're doing. #yqrcc

Mancinelli: How do you compete with other communities?
Bailey: We are well equipped. We are in the game. Our team out-kicks our coverage. If you look at the funding mechanisms, you're asking can we compete, I believe we can. #yqrcc

This is EDR's results section from their report to council.
Colour me a nice Regina-beige shade of underwhelmed. #yqrcc

Bailey: As we figure out our communication piece, as we look at website revitalization, we're going to streamline those process so that it gives us a narrower focus on our impacts.

[BUT WHAT, SIR, DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION EVEN DO?!?!?!] #yqrcc

This presentation is better than the ones EDR provided last year. But still… jesus… I still don't fucking know what EDR fucking does. #yqrcc

a "State Of The Economy" event????
who is clamouring for something like this???? #yqrcc
