It’s a tough job being a councillor in Peterborough these days.

Every little decision has started to become mainstream media and, as a voter, I find it quite refreshing.

A big decision that has been making the rounds in local media over the last few weeks has been the proposed site plan for a new Shoppers Drug Mart store in the downtown core.

“That’s not necessary. I’ll see you first thing tomorrow morning,” he promises. “What do you take in your coffee?”
