Cutten Fields shares concerns about proposed student housing

We need to build housing. It's interesting that the "prevailing wisdom" is that it's fine to build on land that poor families use as a public park but we draw the line at casting shade on land fenced off for a rich man's private game.

Two additional GO train stops in Guelph begin April 27

Good. Now can we please please please have a departure time from Union heading to Guelph ANY time between 6:15pm and 9:30pm?? That's a huge block of time that leaves Guelphites stranded in Toronto.

OPINION: On housing, when opportunity knocks, no one answers

The problem is capitalism. Affordable housing is low cost housing and that is low profit housing. I have said this before and will say it agin, if we want large volumesaof lowacost housing the goverment needs to build it with the same method that was done after WWii, prefab, premortgaged and on preassigned land.Free-will capitalism will never respond,

Ontario PC lead has shrunk, poll shows

It is beyond comprehension that so many voters would still vote PC despite the constant malfeasance and chicanery Ford commits. Not to mention the fact that he 100% does not even attempt to act in the best interests of all Ontarians.

Two additional GO train stops in Guelph begin April 27

Ok great but why is there still no train from Union to Guelph /kitchener between 6:20pm and 9:35pm Monday to Friday. This is 3:15hr period that is core travel time with no trains. Despite being after rush hour, it is an impossible time of day to be on the 401 or Gardner. All they have to do is run one or two of the trains that already run to Brampton a little further.

They should be called the committee of deferment. Does anything get passed?

Infill project with 10 apartments approved near Guelph General

The right kind of infill - let's go Guelph! Within walking distance of amenities and geared to residents, not students. We need more of this.

I do agree I think 10 stories id to tall for that location.

One-bedroom asking rents in Guelph drop $133 year-over-year

Then buy your own house. You expect people to lose money so you can live cheaper

There will always be those that choose not to stay in shelters or follow the rules to stay in housing. Taxpayers should not be on the hook for those that choose substance abuse over having a place to stay.

Blind Arthur woman hit by truck focuses on donations in memory of dog guide

Although it says she will get a replacement service dog in due time I feel the driver should make a donation equivalent to the cost of the service dog including training which is 35K. And anyone who thinks it was the dog's fault is sooo wrong.

There are a number of 2 storey, multi-unit buildings on this road and in the neigbourhood. It is a good fit and 2 bedrooms allows for families. I live in this neighbourhood, we are a multi-generational family and I would happily move into such a unit to stay close to my family when the time comes. Thank you for thinking of what people want and need.

Man on e-bike spotted collecting copper wire on Lake Road in Puslinch

Great, so we'll have a big grocery store that has a smaller pharmacy right across the parking lot from a big pharmacy that has a little grocery store. Makes sense.

I'd like to know if the intent is to close the Silvercreek Shoppers, or if we're adding a new pharmacy to Guelph. Opening a new pharmacy sounds great, but moving a pharmacy away from one densely-populated area to another doesn't seem like it serves the city well.And though I'm not one to tell someone how to spend their hard-earned investment money, there's really no point in opening a brand new oil change shop in 2026. What are you going to do in eight years when half the cars on the road are electric? In twenty years when it's 99%?

Transport driver needs to be taken off the road. What a terrible loss. We’re donating in honour of Jemma.
