OPINION: Canada Day Transit debacle demands a response

City staff unaccountable and incompetent? Say it ain’t so. It’s almost like there are so many of them that they can spend their time figuring out what vanity projects to spend money on and pointing fingers when it goes wrong instead of focusing on the core issues of running an efficient municipality that’s good value for tax dollars. Every department needs to clean house and the start over with half the management headcount, that are more accountable and more effective.

OPINION: Canada Day Transit debacle demands a response

I really appreciate your take on the Transit issue. Moving here from Burlington 11 years ago I looked forward to living in a city that had a much better transit system. Sadly Guelph hired the same fella who managed to all but destroy BT. Yes, Guelph has a very poor road layout but there has to be a way to make what we got work. On the positive side, I end up walking & riding my bike more as it's often faster than catching a bus. On the other hand I also drive more. Transit works when it's frequent & easy to navigate - GT seems to, as you point out, WORK at making the opposite true.

Local dog rescue not accepting new surrenders until Kiya is adopted

No this is not how you help. I worked at an SPCA. We had dogs there for 3 years but we never stopped intake. If we did, dogs would suffer. I understand wanting to get this dog adopted, but to stop saving and protecting other animals that need help is just cruel. This goes against the beliefs in any SPCA…

‘Egregious’ Guelph landlord fined $5K for illegally locking tenant out

Where's the consequences when the tenant doesn't pay rent for two years, finally gets evicted and the house owner is inches away from bankruptcy and the tenant is allowed to quietly go on their way...they should be charged with theft..

Work to improve notorious Cox Creek intersection starts Monday

Well look out. There will be many more accidents and deaths in that spot. What kind of safety measures are you putting in? What will be the speed? 40? Can’t be called a highway anymore.

OPINION: Canada Day Transit debacle demands a response

This latest fiasco should be discussed at performance review time. Sadly, these managers are not performing at "meets requirements". Time to conduct a full department review. These bloated salaries and not justified. What's concerning is we have a mayoral candidate wanting more people to use transit. They should be more concerned about fixing the system!

Local dog rescue not accepting new surrenders until Kiya is adopted

I'm not certain this is the best way to get her adopted. May I share our bulldog adoption. She was used as bait to train pitbull fighters, scarred head and shoulder and not ears whatsoever. She is the most loving dog, gentle, sweet, amazing given the start she had in life. Don't be hesitatant about giving this sweet girl a chance. They love you all the more for rescuing them.

Absolutely! What a sleazy thing to do! If they have the gall to do that to this artist, their name should be out there.

Where is the section describing what the tenant did. Landlords don’t evict tenants who pay their rent on time and take care of the place.

Too bad she can't name names. Photographers suffer from the same sort of heists. Fingers crossed a lawyer can help her punch back.

OPINION: Canada Day Transit debacle demands a response

This is not meant to be adversarial. The Guelph transit system is supported by UofG students. Last time I checked they paid for 25% of it. Their contribution is significant. We rarely hear a peep out of them about poor service. Admittedly, it would be hard to mess up running busses up and down Gordon St. The people that use it to get to the industrial parks also are rarely heard from, so I’ll assume it’s working for them. Everyone else needs to chill out, including the author who apparently only knows how to complain about city hall. We are a small city and cannot run transit like Toronto. We the taxpayers do not have an obligation to make City buses the equivalent of owning a car. This is especially true when the Coty decides to spend their transit budget on ultra expensive electric buses rather than on expanded services

I could not agree more strongly. It’s a disgrace and I have been baffled for years about how the people responsible for it are allowed to continue in their roles
