Your City Hall drama was a whole film this week

Your City Hall drama this week was a whole film!

Saskatoon — seven bridges, two rivers, and something happening you haven't heard about yet. My darlings, what a week at City Hall! It was like a Nollywood film with plot twists at every corner, minus the dramatic slow-motion falls.

Okay, so this is actually wild. We started with all the buzz around that big new development project down by the river. You know, the one with the fancy renders that look like they belong in Toronto?

Then we had the usual back-and-forth about property taxes. Saskatoon is a city that will invite you to a farm-to-table dinner and then make you defend the concept of a city for twenty minutes, so of course, everyone has an opinion on how our money is spent.

* Riverfront development debate

* Property tax discussions

* New Environment Canada reports

It feels like every week at City Hall, there's a new mini-series, and this week the main plot was definitely real estate. It's always a show, isn't it?
