Ford vows to remove Crown Royal from LCBO to protest plant closure

Lots of things we consume aren’t manufactured in Canada. Is Doug going to ban all of them? All for show. The effort is better spent on how to increase manufacturing in Ontario.

OPINION: The daytime shelter debacle was always going to end like this

You hit the nail on the head Adam.One key observation; and this is critical. The City already committed to having the Royal City Mission operate and run the full time daytime centre until April.That carries the burden through the winter months, when it is most needed.Come April, everything was supposed to move over to 23 Gordon.Logic dictates that the City should continue to honour it's commitment to Royal City Mission to run over the winter months.Did that happen? No!The City and Council chose to scrap the entire plan.A total lack of vision, leadership and planning.To the Mayor and City Council - honour your commitment.

Doug is the worst “conservative” Premier in Ontario's history.

CR is made (distilled and aged) in Canada and has been for a very long time. Doug is trying to kill long term Canadian companies. Classic dog whistle politics, no better than PP and Danni.

‘We’re in an emergency state’: Guelph rallies for immediate daytime shelter

Its astounding that Guelph Council can find the millions of dollars needed to clear bike lanes in the winter, in the name of safety, yet when it comes to people possibly dying from lack of shelter and resources, they withhold funding. Shame on the Councilors who voted against this.

Controversial Guelph skincare store evicted from Stone Road Mall

WHY, WHY, why does todays society tolerate these thieves. If some stores are still open and the parent company is still operating / seize there assets, take them to court and have them repay all the money back to the people they stole it from // especially an elderly 75 year old woman that was scammed for 14,000 dollars.

Such an interesting list - to see what Guelphites read and borrow, I guess the library really is used, huh??

Guelph’s planned daytime shelter scrapped due to construction delays

When the RFP went out, Royal City Mission (RCM) met all the criteria but one; it was on St. George's Square. It had just spent approximately $100,000 putting in the showers, the laundry, and the handicapped washroom. It had years of experience, dedicated staff members, and an extensive array of willing volunteers (of which I am one). Stepping Stone (with the best of intentions) actually had almost none of the criteria except the preferred location away from St. George's Square. They had admirable plans, but did not have the goods in place. City Hall ignored the reality and experience of RCM, and awarded the RFP based on promises to Stepping Stone. This botch job is just another example of how politicians value empty promises more than proven performance.

Booze and cars. Cars and booze. Plus giving our money to his wealthy sponsors. What a poor excuse for a human being.

Thank God we got another tattoo parlour. Now we just need another Italian restaurant, and some more cannabis stores.

OPINION: The daytime shelter debacle was always going to end like this

i strongly suspect that the city is being influenced by the downtown guelph business association here. and it’s so misguided as now our downtown will have more visibly homeless people spending their time outside.

Guelph’s planned daytime shelter scrapped due to construction delays

Not surprised at all. Disappointed; but have been speaking about this for awhile.Royal City Mission is already doing the work, and had everything in place; from showers, personal storage bins, full kitchen, hot meals, support from other community agencies, etc.. The majority are volunteers that believe in the cause, and are all local community residents.To duplicate exactly the same thing; from showers, to full kitchen, etc. was unnecessary. The City was calling the shots and insisted on reinventing the wheel. Add also that everyone is paid staff at the new location, and was going to become an increasing money pit.Royal City Mission was already doing the work for decades; and will continue to do so. Just not with extended hours.

OPINION: The daytime shelter debacle was always going to end like this

I couldn't agree more with you, Adam. How short-sighted that some people don't want a drop-in so close to St. George's Square. Now, instead of hanging out at Royal City Mission, Guelph's homeless will be hanging out in the Library, in the Quebec Street Mall, and all around the fountain in the square. Instead of trained and diligent staff from the Mission being out on the street all day keeping things peaceful and tidy, there will be no one. In short, without the Mission being open, Downtown Guelph will be even less welcoming than usual! Didn't anybody at City Hall think about that? I guess they were too busy thinking about how they could waste more tax dollars on redundant speed limit signs, and bicycle traffic lights, and ......

Simple. Move the RCM away from downtown.

Guelph’s planned daytime shelter scrapped due to construction delays

This situation is incredibly unfortunate for the people who are impacted by this. I find it especially frustrating that my Ward 2 councillors have been unwilling to have a discussion or provide clarification when I email them and ask about the several changes or shortcomings stemming from their decisions towards daytime shelter support. I’ve been waiting for a response for over a month now.

OPINION: The daytime shelter debacle was always going to end like this

This town doesn't care about the homeless just about how they can use up all taxpayers money on stupid and frivolous things. I think someone has to look into where all the money is going. If you eat out and ride bikes or read books ,the city has no use for you. This town has really changed and not for the better.
