A little too late, be prepared to pack up your offices. Citizens of Sault Ste. Marie do not let the last four years of these councillors’ failures get your vote because of talks of a plan to fill potholes. Now they’re playing with the intelligence of our community.
I did my census on line, but I resent all the personal questions asked. I don't believe the government needs so much personal information just to count heads in the country. I think the government is too intrusive in questions asked.
Utterly ridiculous! The shoved the shelter village down people’s throats with the justification that we won’t have encampments, if we build the village. Now we have the massive cost of the village and three official encampment sites. Of course, the city won’t do squat about McVicar Creek or any other place people camp illegally, litter, don’t abide by burn restrictions or do drugs. It’s amazing anyone at city hall can stand upright, given none of them appear to have a spine.
Skipping the census doesn’t “send a message.”It erases your community from the numbers.The census isn’t run by politicians. It’s done by Statistics Canada so governments (all levels) know where people actually live and what they need.That data is used for:health care planningschools and childcarehousing and infrastructuretransit and local servicessupports for seniors and familiesWhen people don’t respond, their area can look smaller or less in need than it really is.That means fewer resources, weaker planning, and longer wait times where you live.And then we all hear:“Why are services so bad here?”Because the data says fewer people are there than actually are.You don’t hurt Ottawa by ignoring the census.You shortchange your own town.Fill it out. Be counted.That’s how communities get what they actually need.
I appreciate Shoemakers dedication, however i believe SSM needs a more fiscally responsible Mayor, and entire council for that matter. Raising taxes should not be the solution year after year.
Is this a joke? Those two and their harebrained ideas and now they're concerned about the condition of city streets? What do they think the citizens have been howling about for many many years, to no avail? This from the ones who propose pools for the St. Marys River at tremendous expense.
Bingo!Not a year ago before she kept threatening to call the cops on me for asking her questions as a constituent, she made it clear that “this is northern Ontario, we will always have bad roads and we need to focus on things that actually matter” Now all of a sudden she changes her tune before an election…We won’t forget your previous positions Ms. Caputo, and we wish you the best in your future away from politics!
Luke shouldn't there already be a plan in place, if not what do you people do at city Hall, waste money on a pool in the river of all places, wasted money for a plaza no one's uses , not once did any of you think about doing your job taking care of our city not adding unnecessary things no one uses, can't wait till election we need serious people who actually care what our city looks like and represents
Peak Thunder Bay brilliance! After years of tie votes, surveys, delays, and 'overwhelming feedback,' we're blowing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on fences, screens, and pallets to officially turn three parks into tent resorts.Remember when a councillor suggested planting pollinator gardens with bees and thorny bushes to gently discourage camping? We laughed that off... but now we're funding the deluxe version with city cash.Taxpayers, you're not just bankrolling the circus... you're the VIP suckers paying premium prices for managed chaos while bridges get delayed and real solutions collect dust.At this rate we'll need a $1 million consultant report next year titled 'Why the Tents Multiplied Anyway.' Keep those taxes flowing, heroes. The bees are busy, but the encampments are thriving.
Two new ones on the ballot, one in Ward 3 and now Ward 6, which are both a hard no all from the same old boys’ club. Now it’s just their kids up-and-coming. People that have been here for decades should know this. For the newcomers, just take our advice. SSM needs diversity. Let’s not forget the other already wrote a letter posing as someone as his grandfather.
I am no tin-foil wearing conspiracist by any means and I found the questions a bit much also. They were very intrusive. Why do they need to know my employer, job title, list of job duties and the weekly hours of work I have? They have my T4, they know where I work. That's all they need to know.
