Guelphissauga News: Conestoga's Blacklist Calamity, Tax Protests, & the Mayor does Math | Dec 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with a Blacklist Calamity at Conestoga College. Next week, the Corporation of the Shire will give everyone their Christmas presents with the 8.52% residential tax increase. This pissed off people so much that they stood with protest signs in the streets as they joined the tent encampments downtown. They setup camp next to the minimum wage earners, international students from Conestoga College, and Guelph-Mercury Reporters. The Mayor ignored their numbers, and instead spent the day entertaining local seniors with Christmas carols and pretend drumming. He couldn't handle the pressure, so he prayed to the Big Blue Orc and the Lord of the Liberals for help. The Big Blue Orc replied by casting a Distraction Spell with his commitment to buck-a-beer and honouring his brother. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will Conestoga College survive its Blacklist Calamity?

Guelphissauga News: Housing Lunacy Outbreak, Shrinkflation Apartments, & O'Rourke going Red |Dec '23
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor coming home to an outbreak of lunacy. The Housing Cost Crisis was declared an outbreak as the looming 8.52% tax increase was used as an excuse for landlords to increase their rent next year. The minimum wage earners who already couldn't afford to live in the Shire settled in for the winter in the encampments downtown. Meanwhile, the Mayor dodged any responsibility due to Climate Change, and Dominique of O'Rourke was inspired to go Red. But her career plans might fall short with all the lunacy collapsing the public sector. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will Dominique of O'Rourke go Red?

Guelphissauga News: Mayor SKIPS Town for Climate Change Christmas Conference in Dubai | Dec 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with preparations for a Climate Change Christmas. Across the Shire people made plans for Christmas, Climate Change, or both. Thanks to the finalized 8.52% tax increase by the Corporation of the Shire, the Housing Cost Crisis worsened as it took the shirts off people's back. They were left standing in the cold as the Mayor and his Dubious Business Associates ignored the growing homeless encampments downtown. But the Mayor didn't want to deal with all the hate, so he took flight to Dubai for finding middle-eastern inspiration at a Climate Change Vacay-Conference. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will the Mayor have a good Climate Change Christmas?

Guelphissauga News: Attendance Games FAIL, Mayor Booting Homeless, Pergola Commons Towers | Nov 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor backing off from booting the Homeless out of Town. The Housing Cost Crisis expanded across the Shire thanks to the $227 budget shortfall left by the Big Blue Orc's broken promise. Last week, the Council of Elders played the Townhall Attendance games to find ways to cut the proposed 10% tax increase to a more acceptable 9.9%. Meanwhile, the Mayor took another vacay-conference in the Swamps of Toronto at the 2023 Housing Forum with his YIMBY friends. They want to build four new Tower of Saurons in the heart of Guelphissauga to rent out to the homeless people downtown. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will the proposed tax increase make it worse?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Townhall Attendance Games for 10% Proposed Tax Increase | Nov 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Townhall Attendance Games. From Peterborough to the Shire, the Big Blue Orc's broken promise has ransacked municipal budgets. He's left the Corporation of the Shire with a $227 million multi-year budget shortfall for the Council of Elders to clean up. Townhall meetings were booked in each of the Shire's wards as the Council competed in the Attendance Games. But the Mayor wanted to increase taxes by 10% to fill the gap and also boot the homeless people out of town with a new bylaw. Meanwhile, Mike of the Schreiners monitored Climate Change as the Parking Wars loomed on the horizon. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will the Big Blue Orc ever “make them whole”?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: 10% Proposed Tax INCREASE & 15 Minute City Townhall Meetings | Nov 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor pitching an inflationary tax to cover the Big Blue Orc's broken promise. While hiding from the RCMP, the Big Blue Orc left the Corporation of the Shire with a looming $227 million loss in their budget. The Mayor prepared his best pitch as Townhall meetings were booked in each of the Shire's wards and across the nation. He hoped these meetings would help convince the people to cover the million-dollar loss created by the Big Blue Orc's broken promise. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will the Big Blue Orc ever “make them whole”?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: 10% Proposed TAX INCREASE from Doug Ford's Broken Promise | Nov 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Corporation of the Shire's budget facing the inflationary pressure of broken promises. With both housing and utility costs raising across the nation, the Lord of the Liberals and the Mayor faced tough budget decisions. The Lord of the Liberals was getting pressured by the Bank of the Land to cut his Carbon Tax, whereas the Mayor didn't know what to do with his municipal fiscal policy tools to combat the housing cost crisis. Instead of proposing a deflationary tax policy, he wants to do the opposite with a 10% increase to the budget. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will the proposed tax increase break your budget?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Left-Wing Lunatics, Racist Micro-Grants, & Basic Income | Oct 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Big Blue Orc hunting for the Left-Wing Lunatics in the Shire. From the Swamps of Toronto, he declared the entire Council of Elders a bunch of Left-wing Lunatics when questioned by Mike of the Schreiners. The hunt began as several candidates stepped up by questioning their sanity. Meanwhile, Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves were getting trolled on Xwitter for supporting the idea of Guaranteed Basic Income. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will the Big Blue Orc find the Shire's Left-wing Lunatics?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Million Person March, Fires & Tiny Homes for Mayor's Birthday | Oct '23
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the anti-hate protests bringing the heat to the Housing Cost Crisis. But that wasn't the only thing on fire this week, as Turtle Jack's and the Homeless Encampment off Watson Rd competed against the Albion for being the biggest dumpster fire in town.
Meanwhile, the Mayor celebrated his birthday in style and he wished for more tiny houses in his European Inspired SimCity. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and did the protests achieve their goal?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Mayor ANGRY at Big Blue Orc's $227 million Budget Shortfall | Oct 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor playing the Blame Game at the Council of Elders' Budget Workshop. He ranted on Xwitter about the Big Blue Orc breaking his promise to “make them whole”, after cutting development charges for his Property Developer friends. The Corporation of the Shire's Chief Financial Officer gave the grave news as a $227 million shortfall looms on the multi-year horizon. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and did the Mayor break the budget by trusting in the Big Blue Orc?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Mayor Celebrates Thanksgiving with his YIMBY Orc Friends | Oct 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor giving thanks to his YIMBY friends. He returned to the Shire from his Inspirational trip in Europe just in time for thanksgiving dinner. The ride home took longer than expected due to construction season, but the Mayor didn't mind since he was inspired to go full YIMBY mode with the east end development and the proposed student housing project. He prayed to the Lord of the Liberals before his dinner in hopes of achieving his YIMBY dreams. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will the Mayor have his YIMBY prayers answered?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Mayor gets INSPIRED in Europe for Lower Parking & Bus Fares | Oct 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor travelling abroad to find his European Inspiration. He flew all the way to Copenhagen in Denmark to attend a week long vacay-conference on “Healthy Urban Planning” with his YIMBY friends. The Mayor returned home with a report of his 10 points of European Inspiration to help bring his YIMBY dreams to the Shire. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves doing anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and did the Mayor learn anything useful in Copenhagen?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Mayor SKIPS Town for Homecoming & the MILLION Person Protest |Sep 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Million Person March for Protecting the Children and the Mayor going to New York city to avoid Homecoming. He split town just in time as both events drew huge hangry crowds to the Shire. Yelling matches and protest signs filled the streets as the Elder Elves tried to intervene. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and did the protest complete its goal?
The Mayor knew Homecoming was scheduled at it's usual time this year, so he planned to split town before the shit-storm hit the Shire. He booked a grand trip over the border to New York city for a Climate Action vacay-conference. Along with other mayors, he hoped to wine and dine on the most succulent of climate actions. Bringing along his favourite suit and sneakers, he took a dog-Uber to the Shire's airport to catch his direct flight to the Empire State.
The airplane departed as the Mayor got comfortable in his first class seat. He made sure to book a window seat so he could watch the Shire from above. It gave a bird eye's view of the crowd at Homecoming that he avoiding. The plane banked southward as the Mayor could see the south end of the Shire and the mass of people gathered there.
The Mayor watched the huge crowd from Homecoming in the student ghetto from the air. In what looked like a pile of ants spilling into the streets, it was a multi-coloured crowd of red, gold, and black. The crowd had a yellow perimeter where the cops were cashing in on their overtime pay. The police said they didn't want the partying students to get into any shenanigans, like egging people's houses. But in reality, they were there watching the students hangout and searching for revenue generating infractions.
The police weren't wrong about egging schenanigans being an issue in the Shire. Recently, two eggs were left on someone's front porch with a threatening letter. The letter read “Put your dumb cunt on a leash”, written with a big black marker. The Shire's police were busy investigating the source of the letter as they were suspicious it came from the Off-Leash Dog Puncher. The Mayor enjoyed the view of the new million dollar police station as he flew away from the Shire. As the plane rose, he could see the big parking lot downtown that he was anticipating going full YIMBY mode all over next month.
The parking lot the Mayor was looking at was the big Baker Street parking lot. Historically a graveyard, the location has plans for two 15-storey mixed-use buildings, along with potential for stacked townhouses. A total of 174 residential units is proposed for the southern-most tower, with ground floor commercial units. The Mayor had plans to celebrate the solid double-digit Tower of Saurons with his orcish friends at Windmill Developments. As the property developers for the lot, they said they're “committed to a target of 12% affordable housing units for the combined total of the private component of the project.”
But a 12% affordable rate implies an 88% Unaffordable rate, which is what the property developer orcs were really hoping for. They could go YIMBY, YIMBY, YIMBY all the way to the bank as they collect inflated rent and condo fees. All they have to do is get through the public consultation in October before they can drink the NIMBY tears of their opponents. A public meeting is set to take place during the Council of Elders' planning meeting next month, on Oct. 17th. In order to speak at the meeting, the deadline to register or provide written comments is 10 a.m. on Oct. 13th.
The Mayor's flight was almost out of the Shire as another huge crowd caught his eye. “Whoa, That's Crazy!” he said honestly, unlike when he said that last week about the Housing Cost Crisis. There was another huge crowd downtown that the Mayor didn't know about. He missed out on the news with the cancellation of the Guelph-Mercury newspaper. He opened his phone and went to Xwitter to see what was going on and luckily he found a livestream thanks to a good GuelphCitizen.
The huge crowd the Mayor saw downtown was the 1 Million March 4 Protecting the Children. With a crowd size rivalling that of Homecoming, it looked like a mass of rainbow coloured people in the centre of town. The Mayor could see a hard line through the middle of the crowd and protest signs waving overhead. The general purpose of the protest was to protect the children, particularly in and on the way to school. One group was there to express concern about sex education, a lack of parental input in the school system and the belief that Canada’s educators are indoctrinating kids. They marched down Gordon Street screaming “Leave our Kids Alone”.
The second part of the crowd was also there to protect the children on the way to school, instead of at school. They were counter-protesting to express concern over children skipping over the rainbow crosswalk at they walked to school. They insisted that rainbow crosswalks were the best for children, as they waved their protest signs and yelled with their masks on. The Fat Cats in the University's Ivory Tower could also see the protest from their viewpoint and they commented about it on Xwitter. They re-stated their commitment to protecting their students with their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion agenda.
Back at the Council of Elders chambers, the room was empty and dark. It echoed from the loud noises of the protest going on outside, which is where the rest of the council was. They were busy in the streets acting on a local level, instead of travelling globally like the Mayor was doing. The Elder Elves, Carly of Klassen, and Erin of Caton were all downtown dealing with the chaos. Caton was focusing on protecting the children and the rainbow crosswalk. She was concerned about the Off-Leash Dog Puncher showing up and the protest getting violent. Whereas the Elder Elves and Carly of Klassen attempted to bring a peaceful resolution to the protest. They tried to talk to people calmly, and separate them into their appropriate groups based on their colour of the rainbow. The Elder Elves agreed to protect the children first, instead of getting distracted by all the other topics dog-piled into the chaos.
Meanwhile, the Mayor's flight arrived in New York City and he took his limousine to the hotel. He checked in, and the hotel staff reminded him that he had a gift waiting for him in his room from the conference. The Mayor said “YIMBY, YIMBY”, as he took the elevator to his room. He opened the door and he saw the surprise. It was a custom drinking cup for his favourite thing; drinking NIMBY tears. The Mayor felt at home as he unpacked his bag and order room service.
Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and did the protest complete its goal? Stay tuned here to see...

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Mayor CALLS 911 over missing Newspaper & Off-Leash Dog Puncher |Sep '23
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with broken Speed Cameras and the return of the Off-Leash Dog Puncher. The Mayor finally returned home after finding his lost car from the Student Invasion. He avoided the broken speed cameras downtown and the new Off-Leash Dog Puncher in the west end of the Shire, as he arrived just in time for his next meeting. Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will anyone catch the Off Leash Dog Puncher?
The Mayor drove home as fast as he could in his pissed soaked car. The vehicle was trashed and spray painted from the Student Housing Invasion last week. As he sped home, he rolled down the windows to cover the smell of the stale domino's pizza and broken rubbers in the back seat. Luckily, the Mayor didn't get caught for speeding in the Shire, like a chick from Brampton did the other day. She got clocked going 136 kilometers per hour in a 60 zone and the police took her car. Another guy got ticketed hundreds of dollars by the new speed cameras in the Shire, but he took his revenge. He took a hammer to the speed camera in front of St. Ignatius Catholic School. Thanks to him, the Mayor didn't get any speeding tickets that night.
The next day, the Mayor woke up looking forward to the relaxing day. He planned to sit at home, read the newspaper, and then snore through some stupid meeting he had that evening. With his housecoat on and dad bod hanging out, the Mayor confidently walked to the end of his driveway to collect the newspaper. But it wasn't there. He searched all around the sidewalk and looked up and down the street. No one had newspapers anywhere. The Mayor was pissed, what an inconvenience to his perfect day. He decided to fix his first world problem by flexing his strong mayor powers, and called 911.
“911, what's your emergency?”. “This is the Mayor and someone stole my newspaper. I want you on this NOW!”, the Mayor screamed into his phone. “Oh, hi Cam.” the police dispatcher calmly replied.”We're kind of busy right now with another Off-Leash Dog Puncher. But I can send an officer over soon.” The Mayor calmed down a little as the dispatcher explained the situation.
This time the off-leash dog attack happened at a park near Dovercliffe Rd. A man reported he was involved in a yelling match with a woman over her dog’s off-leash behaviour. He said he was bit by the dog and then the woman attacked him. As he tried to distance himself, he was allegedly punched twice in the neck and had his shirt ripped by the woman. The police were busy chasing the off-leash dog puncher, which is becoming a weekly trend in the Shire.
As for his stolen newspaper, the police dispatcher calmly explained to the Mayor the situation. His newspaper wasn't stolen, it was cancelled. Metroland Media Group, the operators of the Mayor's favourite newspaper, filed bankruptcy protection and stopped printing their community newspapers across the Lands of Ontario. They're also laying off 605 people, which is nearly two-thirds of their workforce. The Mayor was disappointed at first, but it was first world problem, so he went inside to play European Inspired Simcity on his Gameboy instead.
Before he could hang up his phone on the emergency line, the dispatcher made sure to cover their wallet. “So are we still good for Homecoming, Cam?” she asked him, in reference to the big event next week. The police love cashing in on Homecoming with the overtime pay they collect from responding to the street party in Edinburgh Village. The cost of the event has been going up each year in the Shire. It reached six figures last year, hitting $125,000. Of that, $113,000 was attributed to additional police. The other money was for increased bylaw enforcement and fire service. Thirty minutes later, the Mayor hung up his phone after the nice chat with the police officer on the emergency call line.
Later that day, the Mayor returned to the Council of Elders chambers for his evening meeting. He was hoping it would only last a few hours since he wanted to get back to his week off. While waiting for the meeting to start, the Mayor took to Xwitter to praise the Lord of the Liberals. He's helping the Property Developer Orcs across the nation by removing the GST from new rental construction. The Mayor tweeted “YIMBY, YIMBY, YIMBY” in response to the profitable policy for his orcish friends.
The meeting dragged on and on for 6 hours. It was a lengthy Review and Gap Analysis of Housing, Mental Health & Substance Use Services for People Experiencing Homelessness in the Shire. The Mayor got bored with the 200 page report, and pretended like the information was a surprise. In the past 5 years, average income in the Shire increased by 31%, whereas house prices increased by 59% for new buildings and 79% for old ones. This loss of purchasing power and was the main reason for people suffering homelessness, mental health issues, and substance problems.
The Mayor acted like this was a surprise to him in his Xwitter post after the meeting. He didn't understand how 5 years of consistent residential tax increases, plus the new carbon tax on utilities, would cause such a big increase in house prices. “That is just crazy”, he said. Yet the Mayor continued to push a quantity-based solution to the housing cost crisis to support his YIMBY friends. If only he could cut residential taxes in the Shire, then he could actually do something for everyone in the Shire, not just property developers. But he missed out on all that useful information, because the Mayor's still playing version 1.0 of European Inspired SimCity on the Gameboy he bought at a garage sale.
Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will anyone catch the Off Leash Dog Puncher? Stay tuned here to see...
What do you think?
Have you seen any off-leash dog punchers?
Does cutting HST for developers lower your housing costs?
Would lower taxes cut the cost of housing?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Students INVADE the Mayor's Selfie Photo Tour on Move-In Day | Sep 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor going on a Labour Day Selfie Tour to bring awareness to the Housing Cost Crisis.
His goal was to hammer out an entire week's worth of Virtue Signalling Selfies in a single day. That way he could slowly release the selfies once a day on Xwitter, and enjoy the rest of the week off.
Seven selfies, seven locations, all done in seven hours. The Mayor had a genius plan, all he had to do was stay on schedule to pull it off.
Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and will the Mayor complete his Cross-Town Selfie Tour on time?
The Mayor was confident in the plans he laid out for completing the seven hour challenge.
By putting in the the old college try, he counted to 7 and booked his meetings across the Shire for a single day.
He had limited time, but he wanted to do all events in one day of work so that he could take the rest of the week off. He mapped out his locations and noticed it made a shape of a letter S.
“S for Strong Mayor Powers!” he joked as he drew a line north to south, connecting the dots on his map. He set his YIMBY brand alarm clock for early the next day and fell asleep.
“Buzz, Buzz, BUZZ” screamed the Mayor's alarm as it woke him the next morning at 6:00am.
He set his alarm an hour before his first selfie photo-shoot meeting with Lloyd of the Longfields.
The Mayor knew Lloyd would be up early since he's the oldest person on his list of bookings, and would be riding his bike near Guelph Lake in the morning.
With his camera fully charged and a selfie stick on his back, the Mayor jumped in his car by 6:30am, sped across town, and found Lloyd on a bumpy road in the north end of the Shire.
The Mayor snapped his selfie with Lloyd, and then tried to get onto his next meeting.
It took him longer than expected since Lloyd kept rambling on about the $1.8 milliom the Lord of the Liberals spent on harm reduction around substance use in the Shire.
He eventually said “Have a good day, Lloyd.” as the Mayor hustled back to his car.
The second meeting, scheduled for an hour later, was another visit at Grace Gardens in the north end of the Shire.
There were rumours that Christia of Freelander, the Lord of the Liberals' right hand gal, would be there helping the homeless.
If she was there or not, either way Grace Gardens was the perfect second location for a selfie.
The Mayor loved staging events there to show how those few dozen housing units will fix the housing cost crisis and lower the cost of rent across the Shire.
He drove down Woodlawn Road without any delay and had enough time to grab a coffee at the McDonalds on the way.
The Mayor pulled into Grace Gardens at 8:45am, got out of his car, and walked around Grace Gardens awaiting Freeland's grand arrival.
After walking around for 10 minutes and finding no one to talk to, the Mayor took a seat on a bench and took out his Gameboy. He figured he could check in on the state of his European Inspired Simcity while he waited.
He loaded his game and his screen started flashing red with the words “EARTHQUAKE , INCOMING EARTHQUAKE!”.
It took a bit for the Mayor to catch on, but he eventually clued into the severity of the warning as his coffee splashed over beside him.
He forgot that it was Move-In Day where all the students arrive in the Shire.
The Mayor looked up and realized he was slowly getting surrounded by a zombie phone-watching army of homeless students.
Turning into a think wall of people, if the Mayor didn't stay clear, the growing mob of students would slowly overtake him. He got up and starting pushing through the crowd towards his car.
As he broke a sweat the Mayor arrived at at his car, jumped inside, and sped off. But unfortunately he didn't get too far.
It's still Construction Season in the north end of the shire, so Speedvale Bridge is always under construction. As the main bridge for travelling in the north end, it was, of course, blocked off.
The Mayor sat in his car at the road block, with the wave of homeless students coming his way.
He sighed in defeat, and said “Hey, might as well get a selfie!” as he pointed his camera at Grace Gardens in the background.
The Mayor knew the only way to his next meeting downtown was if he kept pushing through the growing wall of students by foot. He got out of his car, and headed south into the crowd.
An hour later, the Mayor had made some progress south. He shoved through the crowd of students as he approached the edge of downtown.
To his surprise, a calmness overcame the crowd, as a line formed around the Mayor and he was getting marched single file towards a series of tables.
Like an army of ants, the Mayor joined the students as they were given hot food and warm clothing. All he could do was accept it with kindness as he took a selfie while marching downtown.
As he passed by the big church, the Mayor snagged another selfie at the iconic location.
With a full belly and worn down shoes, the Mayor was determined to finish his cross-town selfie tour even with the students taking over town.
Now at the centre of downtown, the Mayor was in the calm of the Storm in the empty dining district.
The restaurants were closing their patio spaces and the streets were quiet.
The Mayor walked several blocks in silence until he finally saw a man on a corner with a bicycle. He approached him slowly, worried that he might be part of the Yiga Clan.
“Good day!” said the Mayor as he got within earshot.
““Yo brother, do you like my ride?”, the man replied as he pointed to his three wheeled bike. “100 bucks, and it's yours.”
The Mayor chuckled at the offer and snapped back with “50 bucks is all I got.” The man replied “50 will do” as he dismounted the bike and walked forward.
The Mayor wasn't serious about the deal until he recognized who he was talking to: it was the Off Leash Dog Puncher.
The Mayor didn't want to miss with him, so he bought the bike anyways. He thanked the man as he took a selfie to mark the deal. The man did his best he hide his face in the photo.
The Mayor got on his new hot bike and peddled his way south towards the University for his next selfie shot.
The mayor barely made it up Gordon Street hill as the University's Ivory Tower appeared on the horizon.
He biked through Johnston Green and into the heart of Move In Day. Luckily, he ran into his old pal MS, who was also taking selfies on campus for move-in day.
The Mayor snagged a selfie with MS and more with students as he headed south through the student crowd.
----XXXXXX-----
But the Mayor wasn't out of the woods yet, the growing student crowd from the north was nearing his location again.
A large dust cloud was growing on the horizon as MS pointed it out. “Look, Climate Change!” he screamed as he packed up and ran towards his car.
The Mayor knew this was his chance and asked for a ride from Mike. He agreed, and they headed off.
In the rush, the Mayor forgot his new bike in the racks on campus, but he didn't care.
It took them an hour to get across town due to the construction and MS getting distracted by Climate Change, but they eventually made it there. MS pulled up to the Mayor's house, and he exited quickly.
The Mayor arrived home at 10:30pm, tuckered out from the adventure.
His wife greeted him as he walked in the door and started asking him about the obvious. “What happened to you, Cam? Uh, where's the car?”
The Mayor chucked as he pulled out his phone, “Well honey, I've got one hell of a story to tell you..”
Can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Housing Cost Crisis and did the Mayor complete his Cross-Town Selfie Tour on time? Stay tuned here to see...

What do you think?
Did the Mayor learn anything from his Selfie Tour?

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Student Housing Games TRASHES the Shire, AMO Conference | Aug 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Housing Cost Crisis impeding the Student Housing Games. Hundreds of international and domestic students trashed the Shire this week to win the grand prize: an affordable housing unit at a reasonable price. But the Mayor missed out on the ribbon cutting ceremony as he split town after blocking people's comments on Xwitter. The Big Blue Orc also avoided the games since he was facing trouble with the Greenbelt Fiasco. Who will win the Student Housing Games and can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Shire's Housing Cost Crisis?
The Student Housing Games began this week with the Fat Cats in the University's Ivory Tower scratching each other on the back. Similar to last year, they over promised the available number of spots in residence so they booted the families living in the Days Inn on Stone Rd. Seven households were moved out of the hotel earlier this month as the University began leasing the hotel for student housing. “Our community has lost quite a few hotels and affordable rental units and this loss is very concerning especially with a housing crisis.” said Lori of Richer, the housing stability manager for County of Wellington Social Services.
Hundreds of hangry students lined up for the Housing Games to win the grand prize spots in the homeless student hotel. This year's battle was between the domestic and international students. The number of international students nearly matched the amount of domestic students with the University using them as their main cash cow to cover their multi-year million dollar deficits. The students gathered at the newly renovated football stadium on campus and prepared for the Student Housing Games Triathlon. Normally the Mayor would be there to cut the red ribbon to start the games, but instead a bunch of kids from Courage Martial Arts showed up to karate chop the ribbon.
The event was designed in three parts to teach students how to deal with being homeless, which the majority of participates will face this semester. Their first task was to travel across the Shire from the stadium to Guelph Lake without spending a dime. If they could beat the average time of 30 minutes, set by Xena the Winter Road Warrior Princess, then they would move onto the next round. The wealthier domestic students had no issue with this task as they simply called their parents for a ride, and they arrived within 15 minutes.
Whereas the international students also had no problem with the first part of the Triathlon. From growing up in India, they already knew how to take the bus for free. They simply jumped on the side of the next available bus and rode it across town. Sadly, the less fortunate domestic students couldn't complete the task. They had planned on riding their bikes to Guelph Lake, but all their bikes got stolen during the ribbon cutting ceremony and were getting dissembled under the Hanlon bridge.
The second task in the Student Housing Games Triathlon was to build a firepit and start a fire. This skill will be essential in winter for the students earning minimum wage and forced to live in the growing tent city in Riverside Park. The international students and remaining domestic students quickly ran into the parks to collect rocks and wood. They had no issue finding fire wood with the recent Climate Change disasters in Riverside and Exhibition Parks. This summer, two large trees were toppled over due to Climate Change and there was still piles of premium wood laying about.
But finding big stones to build firepits proved to be the more difficult task. There were no rocks left in Riverside Park since the current minimum wage earners living there had already taken them. The remaining students walked around town looking for historical buildings to salvage rocks from the foundation. The domestic students knew the Albion was the oldest building in town, so they headed there. But they couldn't pick any rocks off the building due to it's current state. The Albion is still a dumpster fire, so no one can get near it.
The international students were more successful with the second task. They wandered through the forest and ended up in the OR, where they discovered a large stone wall still standing since 1920. Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the four-metre-long portion of the wall was taken apart. The wall was left in ruins as the students removed all the good stones to build their firepits. The local seniors who walk their dogs off-leash each morning at the OR were disappointed to see the historical wall in ruins the next day. “The city is in ongoing discussions with the property owner, and cannot comment further at this time,” said Colleen of Gammie, a project manager at the Corporation of the Shire.
The last task in the Student Housing Games Triathlon was to repaint the Shire's fire hydrants. Only the international students remained to learn this skill to prepare for their minimum wage jobs. The University provided the grey paint to cover the hydrants with a base coat, but it was up to the students to find red paint in the Shire to complete the task. The first person to paint a hydrant red would win the Student Housing Games.
The remaining international students ran around the Shire painting the fire hydrants grey and looking for red paint to win. But they had no luck. As international students, they didn't know that all the red paint in the Shire was used up a long time ago on the Rainbow Crosswalk downtown. They searched through both Walmarts and all the paint stores in the Shire to no avail. Since no one could paint a single fire hydrant red, no one won this year's Student Housing Games. The University's Fat Cats enjoyed the show as they went to the Keg for Dinner and the Shire was left in ruins with gray fire hydrants everywhere.
Back at the Council of Elders chambers, the room was silent and empty. The Mayor missed out on all the excitement as he split town for the week. After blocking replies to his posts on Xwitter, he took off to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in London, Ontario with his YIMBY friends.
He brought along his best suit, his favourite black polo shirt, and got a new hair cut for the occasion.
The Big Blue Orc kicked off the conference with his announcement of the Building Faster Fund. Pushing a quantity-based solution to a pricing problem in a market failure, the Creatures of the Province will provide up to $1.2 billion over three years for municipalities that meet or exceed the housing targets they pledged to achieve by 2031. The Mayor put on his best behaviour to get his hands on these funds as the Corporation of the Shire has already completed one third of their 18,000 homes pledge so far.
But the promise of all this money won't necessarily balance the Corporation of the Shire's books. Last year, the Big Blue Orc cut the fees gathered from developers for infrastructure costs. He promised to make the Corporation of the Shire “whole” for the loss, but at this stage, the effect is unknown. According to deputy CAO Jayne of Holmes, “It’s too soon to tell,”. “We don’t have the details yet.” The Shire’s role in solving the housing crisis is limited, as “We don’t actually build houses,” Holmes pointed out, “There’s only so much we can do. “ A recent analysis also found that the Corporation of the Shire could have a deficit of $232 million for growth-related infrastructure thanks to the Big Blue Orc. This could completely ruin any plans the Mayor has for his European Inspired SimCity.
Did anyone win the Student Housing Games and can Carly of Klassen and the Elder Elves do anything about the Shire's Housing Cost Crisis? Stay tuned here to see...

Fellowship of Guelphissauga: Mayor Searches for LOST Car after Student Housing INVASION | Sept 2023
The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues with the Mayor searching for his car after the Student Invasion. The wall of zombie phone-watchers slowly disappeared this week, as the new students settled into their expensive housing or living in their cars. The Mayor took the opportunity to search for his abandoned car in the north end of the Shire before his comfortable week of watching zoom meetings. Can Carly of Klassen and Elder Elves do anything about the Shire's Housing Cost Crisis and will the Mayor find his car?
On Wednesday morning, the Mayor woke up to the aftermath of this year's Student Housing Invasion. His car was still missing in the north end of the Shire, and his wife was nagging him about it for an entire day. Her and the kids were taking Ubers to get around town, but the Mayor's wife didn't like them being driven around by some dog. The Mayor planned to solve the problem the next morning by getting up early to take the bus across town to get the car. He could add in a drink with his Fat Cat friends at the University for lunch, and then drive home in time for his evening zoom meeting. If all went according to plan, the Mayor could enjoy the rest of the week in his pajamas, as he had originally planned before the Student Housing Invasion.
The Mayor walked to the nearest bus stop that morning to get to the north end of town with a handful of change. There was already a group of students waiting at the bus stop, so he stood in line behind them. The group of international student didn't recognize the Mayor, so they left him alone until the bus arrived. They all boarded the crowded bus together, and the Mayor squished into an aisle seat. He didn't know which bus he took, but the Mayor figured it didn't matter. He remembered from the last time he took the Shire's bus that they all went downtown or to the University, and those were both of the places he wanted to go anyways. He opened up his Gameboy to check on his European Inspired Simcity while he took the bus across the Shire.
But the bus trip took way longer then the Mayor expected as he got full of road rage. His SimCity save file was stuck on the loading screen with all the new immigrants the Lord of the Liberals allowed into the Shire. The Mayor muttered “We do need a revolution when it comes to parking,” at his Gameboy's loading screen. He looked up and noticed the traffic jams happening at every intersection around him. From all the extra drivers in the Shire, the Mayor's bus was slowing down until it stopped and idled. While sitting in traffic, the Mayor got riled up from road rage. If only there was a way to have less cars, the Mayor thought.
As he slowly approached his first destination, the Mayor skimmed through his emails. He noticed a bunch of emails about the same news article from his friends he met at the Big Blue Orc's daughters wedding. They were all warning the Mayor about how they didn't like the terrible news that the Corporation of the Shire was proposing a Lobbyist Registry on September 26th. The Shire's Sunshine Listers want to create a municipal lobbyist registry in order to establish“accountability and transparency” regarding efforts to influence elected officials and municipal staff. “Lobbyist registries typically include information such as the name and address of the business, name of the lobbyist, details about the matter at issue, who is to be lobbied and length of each lobbying session. They didn't like that news at all, and wanted the Mayor to use his Strong Mayor Powers to stop it.
The Mayor reflected on ways to solve these problems for his property developer friends without flexing his Strong Powers. He pondered for pricing solutions to the housing cost crisis, but he had already committed to the Big Blue Orc's quantity based solution. He promised the Big Blue Orc that he would complete the 18,000 home pledge to get extra funds from the Creatures of the Province Fund. With the Big Blue Orc's promise to “make them whole” somehow, or else the Mayor would be out millions of dollars otherwise. The Mayor didn't want to cut residential taxes to cut housing costs directly, so instead he tweeted for a policy change, instead of financial change, to deal with the pricing problem. ”I want to house people, NOT CARS. Why NO parking minimums? “ the Mayor road raged on Xwitter.
The Mayor's bus arrived at it's destination when he heard Geoff the bus driver yell “University Center, Next Stop.” He put his phone and Gameboy away as departed the bus to meet his Fat Cats friends at the University's 5th floor. They wined and dined while celebrating a $20.4 million cash bailout from the Lord of the Liberals. This bailout will keep the Fat Cats afloat with their financial target of multi-year deficits until the year 2027. They are also using the money for extra infrastructure and safety costs.
The Mayor was joined by Carl Svensson, a professor in the department of physics, who got $6.5 million over the next three years. One of his projects, looking at how matter came to be, requires special equipment to look at tiny particles. “It’s hard to imagine just how small the nucleus of an atom is, when the atom itself is so tiny,” Svensson said over lunch.
The University also spent part of the money on safety measures. A University worker was injured while unloading a pallet of soil in 2021, leading to a conviction under the Occupational Health and Safety Act this week. They were found guilty of failing to take “every precaution reasonable” to prevent the a worker’s injury, and was fined $50,000. The Fat Cats joked at the relatively small fine and didn't want to risk it again. They spent $50 extra on “safety measures” for the Mayor to take an Uber to get his car in the north end instead of taking the bus. The Mayor was re-leaved, since he had forgotten which bus he had taken earlier.
After lunch ,the Uber pulled up to campus and the Mayor got inside. “Where to, bud?” asked the driver. The Mayor pulled out his phone and showed the driver a picture on his phone, “So, uh, could you like drive me to my car? It's somewhere in the north end?”. The driver sighed, took a deep breath, then laughed. “Sure thing, bud. I know exactly where that car is!”, he said as he pulled into gear. The Mayor sat back in comfort, and then asked the Uber driver where he saw his car. “I know the smell of that car from last night.” the driver said.”I pissed on that car's drivers seat after my shift!”
Can Carly of Klassen and Elder Elves do anything about the Shire's Housing Cost Crisis and will the Mayor drive his pissed-soaked car home? Stay tuned here to see...
What do you think?
Will a drop in the number of parking spaces lower the cost of your rent?
Does cutting municipal taxes lower the cost of housing?
Will the Mayor ever take the bus again?
