Caputo says 'you cannot just ask for someone's resignation'

Wow. Pretty rich of Caputo to say that as elected officials “we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard”. Just a few weeks ago, as an elected official, paid for by us, to represent Saultites, she chose to represent her own self interest, and declined to attend a joint council meeting in the Michigan Sault. She didn’t hold herself to higher standard then. She chose to think only of herself. The whole police services board issue is clearly political and the lines drawn between the parties is pretty obvious proof of that.

Poor governance, that exactly what we are getting from Shoemaker.

Before I looked into the problems associated with fireworks I was fine with it, but now I have a problem with it, not to be negative, just because I took the time to inform myself about the absolute effects on number one autistic children who are noise sensitive, pets of all kinds that bolt and are found miles away dead in a ditch, and finally wild life that are disturbed by it,,also injuries to many people who don’t understand how the handle them,, years ago a 12 year old neighbour’s son had a burning piece of a firecracker land on his head and left severe burns, scared for life,,Even one of those reason should be enough to stop the outdated use of fireworks of any kind.

She’s right. We need a new board NOW

And maybe even resign as mayor.. same with Caputo. Hugh Stevenson did great job trying to do what was best . People can't expect thatvwith crime rates rising astronomically that the budget stays the same

You quite literally can do just that Caputo. And of course she isn't in town to do her job either

Poor governance? Kinda like right now and for the year prior, we want a new mayor and an election right now.

to limit who can and who can't use fireworks seems kinda strange to me .

She is 100% accurate here! 100% new governance. There is clearly political interference from King Shoemaker, and we cannot forget he was a member of the police services board before AND he is a partner with the law firm that represents the police service. we need 100% new blood in there. The new chair also had involvement with police services when she was the city solicitor. Bottom line, out with all of the old, in with new!. Finally someone calling out the mayor publicly. I have to say out of all the city councillors Ms. Hollingsworth is one of the few that acts with integrity.

They are. They are also expected to be present for meetings to represent the community. If you don't want the requirement of being present for all council meetings don't run for office. Also lets not forget she also refused to join in the joint meeting with our neighbours

When the city does it, it's at a predefined time, away from residential areas. Parents and pet owners can plan around that. I shouldn't have to deal with random explosions outside while my 2 year old is sleeping and my dog is freaking out

I hope she too resigns when her motion is defeated.

From the police board, most definitely but from his job period. Let’s have an early election.

There are multiple cities in Ontario with bans already. As a kid I had my house go up in flames because of fireworks set off down the street had landed on my roof and ignited the shingles. Ive wanted a ban ever since. FYI...shingles burn and ɓurn hot!!!These are explosives in the hands of untrained and most times not too smart individuals.

Having the Mayor is a HUGE mistake and should be reversed immediately.

I don't blame the dr's one bit. I would have vacated a long time ago ! Kudos for you and the rest of the dr's , i'm sure you will find a good bldg to move to,NO outside of sault ste. marie characters should be allowed to purchase any bldgs in the soo, until this huge debacle of boarded up bldgs and homes is taken care of asap
