‘Turning of the page’: City hall finally has a French-speaking receptionist
SooToday
96It's only 9% of the population in the city who speak French as their first language, so in my opinion, it shouldn't have been a priority. Just saying. This isn't Quebec. I know I'm going to get a lot of thumbs down but I don't care. I'm entitled to my opinion.

Here’s a winning bet: Let’s lose all those gambling ads before it's too late
38Or MAYBE let's make people take responsibility for their own actions. McDonalds ads don't make people obese, beer ads don't make people alcoholics, and gambling ads don't make people addicts.

Here’s a winning bet: Let’s lose all those gambling ads before it's too late
29Gambling ads don't make you gamble, they are all personal choices to either partake or not in gambling. Just like beer ads don't make you drink alcohol. Its funny the ad that popped up on this survey was sponsored by OLG. Who by they way pay taxes locally, employ hundreds locally and return the proceeds back to the communities. Including sports developments programs.

VIDEO: As retail theft soars, some businesses are eyeing drastic measures
691. Get rid of self-serv, have enough cashiers to handle the lines - no more than 3 customers waiting in a line at one time. I was told at Shopper's on Wellington - one new cashier on, both manager and the ass't. manager - when there were 9 of us inline - old we could use the self check-out. All of us said "no". When I asked why they couldn't open a till (because surely they had to be capable of running a till) they said "We aren't allowed". That is either false or they refuse to give any customer service. I have never gone back. 2. Funnel all of those leaving any store through one lane beside the checkout area with a staff member right there next to the exit doors.3. HIre staff, hire staff, - not just cashiers and change rooms - that roam and HELP people. Can't find staff anywhere. 4. Stop stuffing the entrances, exits, every available space with advertising and merch. It gives space to hide items. Retail is too cheap to hire enough staff - this is the result.

SooToday 24So a possible thing that could bring money into the city, jobs and save money on taxes and the city turns it down.Of course because it doesn't affect some of these councillors. This whole group needs to go

THE PAIKIN PODCAST: Should federal MPs be allowed to cross the floor?
62If you vote for someone because of their party then no they should not cross the floor. If they want to cross the floor they should immediately lose their post within parliament and a new election held for that riding.

41Yes, it’s crazy when steaks from Australia are cheaper than Canadian beef. Why is the Liberal government making it so expensive for Canadian farmers on fuel & fertilizer costs?

SooToday 58Well this is nice to see, so can we put a picture back up of our monarch? I don’t believe the decision to remove it in the first place should have been made by Mr. Shoemaker or anyone there on council!

65Gambling can be addictive, like alcohol, tobacco and narcotics (legal and illegal.) Of course advertising should be banned.

'There's a lot of opportunity,' Report describes challenges after Algoma Steel layoffs
SooToday 67These guys are clueless. Lots of opportunities? Certainly not one's equivalent wages and benefits. The industrial market in the Soo is small, and with a glut of 1,000 people (not to mention other companies laying off due to a decrease in ASI business) injected into this market, there are only so many skilled jobs. Not everyone wants or can retrain to be something entirely different. Not everyone wants to work in the mines hours away from the Soo and be separated from their family and community for weeks at a time. We need more, not fewer, manufacturing and heavy industry jobs here, not less. Tourism and green jobs do not anchor a large community - industry does.
