Sault and other small hospitals in 'dire situation': researcher
SooToday
49I know that is a popular conservative talking point, but you should really look into the facts. Only about 1/3 of a cent out of ever dollar the government collects goes to foreign aid (which is less than half of what the UN guideline is, by the way). The data show that we get more than what we put in back in increased trade as a result, and foreign aide is an effective bargaining chip for trade, peacekeeping, and diplomacy. On top of that, Carney actually DECREASED foreign aide in the current budget, so you should be praising this new liberal government. That being said, If you think taking that foreign aide away would make any meaningful improvement to your life, you aren't thinking critically.Trying to blame the federal Liberal government for decades of provincial under funding of healthcare is not helpful, and not honest.

51..... and if our governments didn't insist on needlessly increasing the population of our country then we wouldn't have a housing crisis, a housing shortage, unaffordable housing, lot splitting, infilling, demolitions and redevelopment, densification, provincial interference in municipal planning, light rail projects ripping up our roadways, loss of heritage structures, loss of trees and woodlots, loss of open space and grassy areas, and the loss of the essential character of our cities and neighbourhoods.John Hagopianwhitby

Sault church plans $8-million expansion
SooToday 508 million would feed alot of homeless, and get people off the streets...it would help the widows, the orphans, and the oppressed. Bigger buildings isn't what the Church needs.

Why was water pouring out of this Sault street for more than 17 hours?
SooToday 68No not “a few too many”. The job is gruesome and crappy work. They do it because someone needs to do it. Electrical or water side. The PUC pays well to keep people on call to make sure these people are ready to go with zero increases to safety concerns. Some people actually want to do it for the money. Yes, I’m a friend of a PUC employee. They take their job darn seriously because at the snap of a finger death is just around the corner if you’re not extra careful. The water guys do their job in crap weather the same as linemen in the worst conditions imaginable so you can have heat, hydro, and water at 3am.What do you do that gets you off of your behind in the wee hours of the night to serve your fellow city folk? Don’t drag peoples name through the mud like that.

As things 'spin out of control,' Champlain monument tarped, fenced off
OrilliaMatters 51I am pleasantly shocked that the statue was returned to its original location. You can't judge the past with today's ideals. Champlain was visionary, and explorer. It was a different time back then. We shouldn't erase history. Cudos to those who made this happen.

Downtown businesses damaged by fire
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 61Enough is enough! I'm so infuriated about all these fires. These are small, locally owned businesses that provide an income to put a roof over their head and food on their table. I don't have the answers but we all know who does, our local government, so do something councillors. Make our downtown businesses safe!!

Downtown businesses damaged by fire
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 57And it goes on like this.I'm still reading about repeat offenders being let loose.I'm still waiting to hear news about our new involuntary care facility which won't be enough on it's own.And downtown fires are a common sight.Clearly, what little action that's been taken by our leaders is not working.
