Four more properties slated for heritage designation
11In this economy? seriously, I respect history but take some pics, even make a 3D scan tour of these places and lets move on. Stop putting up roadblocks to development and forward progress.

GO axes weekend trains to, from Guelph on long weekend
23The state of transit (considering how much money is dumped into it) is horrendous - blame the politicians, and the planners who should not be allowed to take the job unless they have experienced Europe. That’s what transit should look like.

City taking ‘extra steps’ to protect turtles during pond maintenance
3We go to great lengths to protect turtles but allow the destruction of human life in the womb of mothers usually abandoned by the man who impregnated them and face crisis pregnancies. In Canada this occurring over 100 thousand times per year. What an absolutely upside world we live in, God change our hearts!!

Nominations now open for 2026 municipal election
14Running for public office is difficult, time-consuming and often exhausting work but as reward you get the opportunity to find, meet, and have deep discussions with so many people, all of whom are united by a genuine desire to see our city get better. The work is hard but the rewards are many. Best of luck to all the candidates, I look forward to hearing your platforms!

20Maybe more people would use the GO Transit if the service would do simple things like make it easy to go online and see a regular schedule.

Behind on housing targets, Guelph looks to create $2M accelerator grant
15Behind on housing targets or do you mean behind on NEW HOSPiTAL TARGET? All these new people same old hospital. Time to put a stop to all this building new condos and houses until we get our infrastructure problems figured out something as to give here.

17Keys to a successful transit service. Frequency, reliability & connectivity. GO & Metrolinx fail on all three.

Crane needed at city hall for cooling tower replacement
12We cancelled district energy because in a rush to be “first” we built a system that didn’t work. Slow down, let the technology mature, let the economic justification build, and then adopt new applications that make both environmental and economic sense. Little old Guelph isn’t going to save the planet by wasting more taxpayer money.

6The intersection is dangerous. The garbage will become our neighbourhood problem. The increase in car traffic for Metcalfe (school and children) be unsafe. The increase in light and noise pollution will decrease property value for those in the area.Will it decrease my taxes for this inconvenience!!,

Behind on housing targets, Guelph looks to create $2M accelerator grant
14With over 4,000 units approved for construction and none being built.The city should be cancelling approvals after 18 months of no movement in getting approved units built NOT throwing more tax payer money at developers dragging their feet hoping for more profits.May I suggest the city request "Memorandum of Understanding for funding to build" as part of the approval process so we get developers who are willing to build rather than developers just looking to get approvals so they can sell the "approved development" without building.

Four more properties slated for heritage designation
13How is this a road block? These are homeowners who WANT to be designated and have no development plans? The only one with a development plan is 221 Arthur which was approved for demo. Heritage actually is what attracts people and keeps people in Guelph. When the city is nothing but cookiecutter row houses and apts, it's not Guelph anymore.

Nominations now open for 2026 municipal election
12The “cutting” crew (including Dan Gibson) don’t understand the key drivers of tax pressures. Constant downloading, mental health, fossil fuel, and growth infrastructure are the big ticket items. Not libraries on Sundays. We need councillors and a mayor that can work with everyone and get people together on the same page, inside and outside city hall. If we elect new people who can’t work together it will be four lost years of chaos.

OPINION: The big picture as we start the election
15A very interesting article. In particular the point that while the province and the feds have multiple sources of revenue, cities are stuck with one source and that was decided in the 19th century and is unlikely to change. My concern, although it does not affect us directly, is the move by the province to appoint regional chairs rather than allowing them to be elected. These appointed chairs would have the equivalent of “strong mayor” powers which would allow an appointed chair to overrule a decision by an elected regional council. Both concepts are anti-democratic in the extreme. It is supposedly in the name of “getting things done” but given the current provincial track record of poor planning and wasteful spending this is hardly reassuring because that appointed chair will have primary loyalty to the province, not the local citizens.

City to search for archaeological artifacts at Exhibition Park
12Why does the playground equipment need to be replaced? I hope it’s not just because it is on a “schedule”. Seems the city finds more and more ways to spend taxpayers’ money needlessly.
