McQuillan's Bridge to be restored
18Thank you to Council for listening to all the emails and delegates on this important issue and for reaching the best decision for Guelph. This bridge has been part of the City's long-term planning for years. Its heritage value was extensively studied, and Council unanimously approved its designation just six weeks ago! Staff have confirmed that rehabilitation is already accommodated within the existing capital infrastructure plan—it is not a new tax increase.Council also invested significant public resources to reach this point through engineering studies, environmental assessment, heritage planning, formal public engagement, consultant work and hundreds of staff hours. Staff further advised that reversing course would require additional costs, hundreds more staff hours, and new heritage processes.Reasonable people can disagree on priorities, but long-term infrastructure and heritage decisions deserve to be based on facts, planning, and good governance—not election sound bites.

18Another blatant example of how this “current” council thinks taxpayers are nothing but an ATM!! Spend, spend, spend. After receiving my latest tax bill is proof positive that they have to go. Everybody should remember the arrogance and disrespectful treatment this council has done to us over the past couple of years, and make them the past! VOTE FOR CHANGE OR ACCEPT THE SAME.

16The climate cult of City Hall needs only to look at their former colleague who jumped ship to join the Liberal Party in Ottawa. The Liberals net zero lunacy is making life more expensive for every Canadian.

14If the cost increases to $4.0M as many projects like this do escalate materially, it will cost every family of four in Guelph $133.00. In before income tax dollars that's ~$175. Or about a third of your annual property tax annual increase. Basically if they don't restore this we can cut annual property tax increase by 35% for a year. In case you're wondering why our property taxes increase 6% every year.

Local dog rescue not accepting new surrenders until Kiya is adopted
19No 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
13Where'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..

Guelph to expand free downtown parking during construction
16Should offer free transit downtown instead -- that would actually help people get downtown (and they wouldn't need to worry about finding a parking spot).

11If we raise property taxes by $1000 and use it to build a city my family can safely bus and bike in, I won't pay for a second car and we'll be $9000 ahead.

12This municipal government believes their responsibility is economic redistribution. Take from those who work more and give to those who work less. (Putting flame suit on for the classic Guelphites I’ve just riled up).

OPINION: 18 short thoughts about Tuesday's council meetings
6Adam, I'm wondering if maybe it's time you find a different career? You sat there on Tuesday and threw a hissy fit when Councillors asked questions, and you don't seem to like anything that anyone says in public. Maybe give something less...opinion-driven a shot? You could cover sports, or food.

15Absolutely! What a sleazy thing to do! If they have the gall to do that to this artist, their name should be out there.
