I definitely have a bit of a problem using our hard-earned tax dollars to fund the rest of the country that won’t take responsibility seriously! I don’t buy the mental illness/addiction excuse! Enough is enough!!!

Hockey president condemns parents' behaviour after Sault tournament

This is unacceptable behaviour and yet it continues. If the consequences of this abhorrent behaviour were enforced it would discontinue. If a parent was aware that they would face a ban from the arena they may think twice and it would not continue. As a previous hockey parent I know it can get heated, however you also know that you are the adult and role model. Shame on you who ever threatened that official.

VIDEO: New study may help explain why Ontario teens are feeling so distressed

You dont need a study to tell you it is poor parenting. Too much coddling, not using the word no, not being taught basic coping mechanisms, not being taught that life is indeed not fair, the inability to be bored and find ways to occupy time or the opposite end having kids so unbelievably busy theyre unable to be kids and just be. Behavioral issues are on a rise because there is always an excuse for poor behavior. Violence in schools is on the rise and is going unreported by staff because the boards do not do a thing to protect the employees from these kids. The problem stems from the parents and lack of parenting.

WOW! You actually believe that all homeless are either drug addicts or mentally ill! What about all the people that got thrown out because of renovictions? What about all thepeople that got laid off and could not longer afford the rent? What abou all the people that are workig and cannot afford rent anywhere? Homelessness exists because of several causes and each cause has a different solution.

I have a bit of a problem with the phrase 'hard-earned tax dollars' being used by people who got their wealth off the backs of poverty-wage workers who get thrown out on the streets like trash when they are no longer useful to the materialistic money hoarders.

Hockey president condemns parents' behaviour after Sault tournament

SooToday

People who yell at referees at youth sports events are emotionally still toddlers and living out their dreams through their kids. It's pathetic. There should be zero tolerance. When our son played local youth football, parents had to sign an agreement that the first time they yelled at a player, coach, or anyone really, they would be banned permanently.

Hockey president condemns parents' behaviour after Sault tournament

I was a spectator at multiple arenas this weekend and watched some great hockey. I am not condoning any of the behavior around any of the actions. To have only 2 referees on the ice was the reason these things got out of hand. 2 referees were not enough to keep up with the play and made either wrong calls or non-calls because they couldn't keep up. Every game I observed at multiple arenas. Some of these teams came from 8 hours away and spent a lot of $$$ to be here. So, I can understand the parents' frustrations. I am not condoning the outbursts at all. Tell me why were there only 2 refs on the ice? Imagine you shelled out over $1500/family to travel, lodge, eat and cover the cost of the tournament and watch your team get duped out of a win because of lack of control? It sets the tone for exactly what happened at every arena. It's not the refs at all it's not their fault either, pay for the 3rd or 4th ref instead of 3 DJs it was the ORGANIZER'S fault. He's responsible for it.

VIDEO: Why lots of people are up in arms about the federal gun buyback program

if you are gonna blame guns for killing people then you need to blame fast foods for killing people, cars for killing people, the government for making or not making rules that result in people dying. Blame people.... that's it.

If Carney gets a majority Canada is finished, we will become the next Venezuela, His net zero carbon credit scam will bankrupt our country, but will enrich himself and Brookfield. He has had almost a year to make a deal with US,, like it or not our largest trading partner, many companies businesses and workers depend on trade with US , 75 % of our exports go to US. We need a trade deal with US NOW, before more jobs and businesses go to the states.

they should of never closed the psychiatric health network in Ontario that existed during Mike Harris's tenure as premier of Ontario . some will say it's a drug problem but these drug problems would not exist if the person was not escaping some sort of trauma .

Everyone keeps looking at the entire problem wrong and with a singular cause.1) Some people don't want help, will never want help (pandemic and putting people in hotels taught us that)2) Some people are beyond help, and would never know what to do if you put them in secure housing, they need to be in special institutions (like review view that we used to have) where they can be properly cared for and monitored3) Some people are to scared to admit they need help, and end up in an endless cycle of homelessness.4) and yes, many people do have drug / alcohol problems which prevents them from getting ahead in life.Throwing money at just giving them houses does NOTHING... it's a 10 year plan, in 10 years they will want 20 billion because the people they gave houses too that still aren't working are about to be kicked out and will will then have a humanitarian crisis., or in 2 years they will need 5 billion because they are living is sub-standard living conditions... never ends

I can imagine there are 3 main groups of homeless;1. truly down on their luck honest people2. people with mental health issues 3. criminal addicts Groups 1 and 2 can be helped. Group 3 CANNOT just be given FREE housing on the tax payer dollar!!Best of luck on your… “plan”.

Make as many excuses (as terrible as those excuses are) as you want, it is nobody's fault except the immature and low-character parents who don't know how to behave themselves. Period.

Conservatives fail to understand that there are enough progressives in Canada that as long as they keep putting forward regressive, hard right wannabe Trumpers they will never win. It’s astounding to me that with Scheer, O’Toole and Poilievre they had large leads going into federal elections (trying to come across as centrist) but then the hardest of the hard right can’t restrain themselves, and start on with their their pro-life or other extreme views and lose. This has been happening for 10 years and counting and they don’t learn. The Regressive Conservative Party of Canada is just so distasteful to too many of us.
