•In 2005, a year after Shiner became Verdiroc’s tenant, the company sought approval from a city tribunal to nearly double the number of units in a condo it was planning at Sheppard and Bayview avenues. The panel eventually deferred the request in a move marked by procedural irregularities. Shiner, who supported Verdiroc’s application, then brought a motion to have all five members kicked off the panel. The motion was ultimately ruled out of order, but not before landing Shiner and a fellow councillor in the headlines for months. He also cast four votes, over two ensuing council meetings, that helped block city lawyers from trying to fight Verdiroc’s proposal at the Ontario Municipal Board. In 2007, he voted on how to disburse $1 million in city subsidies for low-income renters. City staff had recommended allocating the money to an entire neighbourhood, instead of solely to tenants of a Verdiroc-owned building. Councillors voted 7-1 in favour of the staff plan, with Shiner as the lone dissenter. CBC
