Council heard during the regular June 9 meeting that the planning and development department had received an application to amend the land use bylaw map to redesignate five residential lots at 106-114 12th Avenue NE from low density residential to general residential to accommodate four, eight-unit apartment buildings.

Hey @elonmusk , did @X basically abandon efforts to curb bots and inauthentic accounts, or simply allow them to proliferate? Every day I have to remove new "followers" like this with shell accounts that have 0 or only 1 post. What gives, and does reporting them even do anything? https://t.co/HFaLMO5Svs
