16She has a decent point. It has already been approved and I'm sure contracts made. You guys always whine when money has to get spent, how much do you think the court battle will cost the city?

SooToday 16We’ve got some anti development characters on this current city council that we should be very worried about. Young people need jobs to stay in their home town. Young families need opportunity to build a life in SSM. These negative, not in my backyard socialists need to be replaced. We need a complete overhaul in ward 2, 3 and ward 5. There’s some very good candidates running. We need to scrutinize them very well and make some much needed replacements. We can’t afford not to take this very, very seriously. Good luck to all hard working taxpayers in this city.

SooToday 5Good, now build more. I love the outrage from the boomers who want this city to stay as their personal retirement village. All their kids are leaving, and with not enough doctors to go around those boomers will live out their lives alone and miserable.

SooToday 18She should have made her "point" when the sale of the land was being considered. Now she is just playing politics, trying to use this wedge issue to get herself re-elected. Her obvious doubletalk just caused that to expose her.She has got to go.

SooToday 15City hall has been nothing but being sneaky and not informing us taxpayers, about that land sale was use for. And among other businesses they did that we taxpayers didn't want. They dont care about our disgusting roads, it time to vote all of them out in October.

SooToday 13Exactly this^^ thank you, sorry I was not informed last year due to lack of community engagement.. these concerns being heard now about future centers is a massive afterthought on a huge misstep made last year. How disappointing and unfair.

OrilliaMatters 12@Derrick - At least I'm in good company. I commented on her Instagram that she was part of the problem, while others were trying to be part of the solution and I got blocked too! Back when she was running in 2022, Whitney commented about how she wanted to see unity on council, that she could work with people, but she was confident. She is actually only confrontational. Frankly, at the end of the day, it would have been nice if Durnford and the other candidates told everyone about this motion, but at face value, it looks like this is an agreeable proposal to all parties outside of Whitney and our mayor, who is hiding from any interviews or public comment. Like @JohnR said, what is good for Orillia is access to healthcare. Even though there are some comments on this board that state the opposite, OSMH needs space to grow. It is a building from 1910/1922 that has had renovations slapped on to try and keep it up to date, but Orillia can't grow with the current site.

SooToday 4So you will turn down temporary (by definition) construction jobs and 25 to 50 good permanent jobs in this city because they may relocate and come from out of town. Sounds win win to me.

SooToday 6Obviously allowed for a TAX grab by the city...any jobs they say it will create are just temp jobs and then the workers are thrown back to poverty and nothing else for them. Who is to say where these workers come from....they could be all out of town, who knows....ban it all!!!Once operational, a typical standalone data center employs between 20 and 200 permanent workers. Because these facilities rely heavily on automation, even massive hyperscale campuses often run on lean staff numbers, frequently averaging just 25 to 50 core on-site employees per building.
