47This sounds like Guelph. Stop helping the homeless and we need more bike lanes.

35As I have stated before the government instead of finding ways to be more helpful decided to be draconian in their response.

38Brilliant... it might be a food safety issue eating out of a garbage can as well... absolute lunacy. Turn the other way and accept the far less evil of homemade food. Oh the horrors, feeding homeless people homemade food.

27Those bicycle lights are as funny as the curbs on Silver Creek. Excess Money Getting tossed around like confetti except we the taxpayers don't have excess money

Doug Ford says North American leaders ‘think it’s a joke’ Ontario’s premier doesn’t have a private jet
35"Ford added in the same response, “(Ontario is) larger than France and Spain." Ontario is not a country. Spain has a GDP more than double that of Ontario and the GDP of Spain is quadruple. Maybe they have more money for jets. The other kids mock him at recess because he doesn't have a private jet. What a child.

33Doesn't public health have more important things to worry about. People have been feeding the homeless for ever and nothing has been said. During the depression, itinerant workers would do chores for food...from people's kitchens. Geez!

31Nobody complains when people sell cookies at church bake sales but public health has to follow the rules.

28A thought ... mention was made of some school kids having made sandwiches ... perhaps that could be done as an ongoing project by the schools around Guelph? Yes, it leaves a gap when kids are gone for the summer ... but .... where there's a will, there's a way ... and not all kids leave town and are looking for something to do! An alternate plan could surely be put together.Food Safety is a concern, I understand ... and it should be for each and every one of us in our personal lives too.Keeping that in mind, but focusing it to The Bench ... while Public Health is requiring the food to be made in certified kitchens ... what is PH doing to ensure that once the food leaves the certified kitchens that it is properly handled and stored? How long is it sitting around without refrigeration? or heat? ... or sitting out in the open in this heat? THAT might be a bigger concern and risk for all concerned than the uncertified home kitchen and food handler!!!

19@ramos96 - since you're running for mayor in the upcoming election, what's the alt?... They didn't shut the entire thing down... PH is just following the rules... if someone got sick after PH knowingly allowed non-compliant food, they become exposed... If 10 people ended up in the hospital if PH tuned a blind eye, what would your PR statement be if you were mayor? I think any reasonable person would struggle with the balance of the level of risk we are willing to tolerate in exchange for helping people who otherwise might not get fed... but calling PH's response "draconian" seems to ignore the reality that PH is operating in a framework designed to protect vulnerable people as well....

24Food safety isnt a concern when your starving. Whats next? I get fined for sharing my stew with my roommate who gets sick?

23I’m not sure the rules give them a choice. Perhaps the problem is the rules. I would also be very surprised if the motives of the person who complained are pure.

22I find it a joke he's still the premier, given all the shady things he has been doing and then trying to hide it.

Council withdraws application to redesignate Niska lands
19What an embarrassing mistake of historical proportions.Here we have government-owned land situated inside a city that is desperately in need of expanded field space and far below parkland targets. But instead of allowing us the ability to use what is really the only remaining available public-owned land big enough to do the job, they're threatening to sue the city?Here we have a local government authority threatening to sue another local government authority, just so they can ignore their mandated mission and instead sell assets to fund operating costs. A conservation authority refusing to conserve, fighting for the right to mortgage the future to pay for the present.What is this insanity? Who are these people that we're putting in charge? Do they have any sense at all? Every single member of the GRCA board should be ashamed.

21Anyone else confused with the Premier flying to multiple US destinations while "Protecting" Ontario? We need more trade with European and SE Asian countries. The Premier crying for his Air Ford One is such a farce.
