As Black Friday looms, Canada Post lays off employees over the phone
26It’s like the LCBO all over again. Striking public sector workers in low skill jobs want the public’s support because their jobs are so vital to the economy and to our day to day lives. Meanwhile the public yawns and say “oh, you’re not working? Sorry, we didn’t notice.” The real world has adapted and changed, time for Posties to do the same.

Property taxes likely to rise 6.08 per cent next year, council confirms
28All this council does is take from the hardworking and give to the entitled and activists. It would be one thing if they actually did any good work to help the truly needy, but with the wasted resources on heritage designations, dark sky initiatives, electric buses, operations campuses, bicycle traffic lights and so many other pet projects and virtue signaling money pits, it's no wonder that this city needs 2000 employees and NINETEEN General Managers to run a city of 130,000 people. Enough is enough. Taxpayers work too hard to give it all away to this nonsense.

22Nobody needs this service any longer. Cut mail delivery to 3 days per week, and move all direct-to-home deliveries to communal mailboxes. If the union doesn't like it then privatize the crown corporation and allow the new owners to bring it into the 21st century.

17GET A GRIP!! In all seriousness, do you have any idea how much this is going to decimate some families? People living paycheque to paycheque now. The least you could do is buy us dinner and ply us with alcohol before ..... You can try and get the arrears I will be owing from my estate. Where are the villagers with forks and torch? Your time in office cannot come soon enough.

Province’s new bike lane rules may 'hinder' safety efforts, city warns
15“These studies and strategies have required substantial time, cost and effort to complete, and represent the vision of Guelph city council and the Guelph community,” the deputy CAO wrote.No, Guelph council has heard from the noisiest activist group that wants the most attention. Enough with the war on cars. People in their cars don't have time to become professional activists on behalf of the bicycle. Funny how my kids and I can ride downtown from my house without getting injured constantly because we're paying attention and not relying on painted lines.

9Thank God the council has stopped providing social assistance to the ones who need it the least. Let's stop making the rest of us suffer because of "taxpayer" entitlement!

15Looks like we'll need to stop buying Depends next year. Also, will stop eating high quality dog food and use the no name stuff. Thanks for doing your utmost to help us stay in our home. It's a good thing Canada Pension will give us an increase of a few dollars for the cost of living.

17Do better council. After last years steep hike, we don't have more money to throw your way. Step down Cam, you aren't doing us any favours sitting on your high horse.

15Has there been any committees, boards or groups setup to look at why tax increases are well above inflation year after year? Could someone direct me if such a thing exists. It's just so unsustainable to continue on this path. I don't understand why this isn't a bigger priority.

16If the Provincial government would stop downloading things to the municipal government then the tax rate would be closer to inflation. When millions of dollars of Development Charges are clawed back so Developers can make more profit, the existing tax base is left to pay for the shortfall and property taxes are the only way municipalities can do that.

Mayor inadvertently violated code of conduct: integrity commissioner
15I had question Mayor Cam Guthrie on these type of trips and recieved no response. I've also questioned him about his position on the Global Convenient of Mayors, what is entails and how much of his time is taken away from his mayoral duties to the city. His only response was "I like to multi-task." He was elected and receives full time pay to focus on the needs of Guelph, not divide his attention between us and his personal pursuits that feed his ego. Now he recieves a full time paycheque and we get a part time mayor.

13I've got to try that at work sometime. Just break some of the rules and then admit to benefitting myself and nothing should happen right? The two tier set of rules is beyond.
