OPINION: Guelph road users - all of them - need an etiquette lesson

Perhaps it starts with the city and the shortsighted city council. Leave the roads alone. We don't need 4 lanes reduced to two. We don't need all of these blockades impeding traffic. We don't need right turn lanes being eliminated. We don't need the narrowing of lanes. What we need is more left turn lanes with appropriate left turn signals. We need the speed limits increased to what they were. We need council to stay out of our lives and actually do their job.

Royal City Mission to cut hours in half amid cuts to expected funding

Weird....2024 financial statements show total revenue of $900,013...and, wages ate up $583,558 of those revenues, maybe handouts ought to be reduced - both on the wages side and meals side...

Royal City Mission to cut hours in half amid cuts to expected funding

"Sorry Jennifer, but if one wants to spout off about helping people, do a little bit from your heart, not your wallet. The financials from B Be, is an example of the "old style" of fundraising: more to Admin than the cause itself.The "industry" of poverty disgusts me."The people who devote their working lives to helping people also need to pay their rent and feed their families. Sorry that not everyone is so fabulously wealthy that they can make altruism their full-time job. B Be's financial breakdown also fails to mention that salaries dropped between 2023 and 2024 - by over $70k. So they have already reduced either their head count or their salaries according to the exact same financial statement.The 'industry' of poverty has nothing to do with organizations paying the people who support vulnerable communities a living wage so their own staff don't have to depend on their own support services to survive.

$75M lawsuit against Guelph developer cleared to move forward

In the United States Reid would rightfully be defending himself from a criminal case not just a civil lawsuit. It is like Canada wants to encourages white collar crime.

Criminal McArthurs suspended with pay income would've been super helpful for these folks, I bet!End suspended with pay for cops. What a drain on the tax payers to have a cop on salary for soon-to-be ten years.

There is something very funny about someone thinking that locking everyone into a car dependent society is not the short-sighted decision.

OPINION: Guelph road users - all of them - need an etiquette lesson

When I ws very young, I was taught to look right then left and right again before I cross the road whether I have the right of way or not, just to be sure that the motorists have noticed me crossing; both drivers and pedestrians make errors. I have noticed on our roads creless driving when drivers cut across in front of crossing pedestrians and I have had too many pedestrians cross without removing their eyes from their mobile devices with earphones attached. Both drivers and pedestrians must be alert and pay attention on the roads.

City staff crafting strategy to grow Guelph's park spaces

Let's start by:- not selling the Kortright Waterfowl Park- bringing back the sports fields at the Correctional Center- bringing back the sports fields at Turfgrass- changing the Clair-Maltby plan which included zero large parks- not moving sewer infrastructure from a developer's land to Margaret Greene Park- connecting bike and transit routes effectively so everyone (including children) can actually get to the parks we already haveBecause despite growing our population by about 20% in the past decade, we've actually *lost* recreational space.We know what to do already. It's just unpopular with the kind of people who donate thousands of dollars to municipal election candidates.

Royal City Mission to cut hours in half amid cuts to expected funding

Wow I think rcm should have more funding and not just have to be open 4 days a week as it provides people with a warm place to go and they have services like housing and nurses that come in to help the community members out and they also have showers and laundry for the community members to use and for the community members to store their stuff safely . Plus the provide two meals lunch and dinner for the community members as well. This is so sad
