The “run yourself” clapback and the shots at the columnist aren’t arguments; they’re ways to avoid the issues. Fact: This columnist attends more council meetings and follows more files than virtually anyone, including, sitting councillors, which makes the “run yoursef” jab especially tired. The issues raised, encampments shifting from Gordon to Stepping Stone to Royal City Park, by‑laws ignored, businesses blocked, public spaces deteriorating are real and visible. Pointing out weak governance on these issues isn’t claiming to have all the answers; it’s acknowledging that the current approach isn’t producing results. Residents are entitled to expect competent leadership. The Mayor has been on council for sixteen years. We are entitled to expect more.
If you read Adam’s previous articles you’ll realize this is a dude who seriously hates the mayor and obsessively writes about him non stop. I’m worried about what he’ll do for work after the next election.
It would be hard to where this shirt. Living here my entire life and having a good memory the negatives outway the positives. As a kid this was a great place to be a kid. Today, this city being driven by people with personal adjendas having control it is hard to get excited.I have said for years that this city has never reached its potential. Oh, so true.
What's with all the negative comments????Guelph is not perfect.....nowhere is.....similar problems everywhere. Noone is forced to stay here.It's totally optional to buy a shirt. Cute idea. Made me smile. Best of luck with the shirts.....hope it helps some downtown businesses.....far better than just complaining.
I agree, Adam Donaldson presents council goings on well. If he has an issue with a lot of those goings on it is quite understandable, there needs to be changes made in council's makeup. Hopefully the election will help in a positive way.
Keep up the good work Adam there is nobody else willing to do the reporting you do .It's incredibly important that those unwilling to visit the inner chambers get to know what's happening
I met this guy they came up to him and told him they were taking his tent, they're bullies. It's been proven time and time again that displacing the homeless is a section 7 violation but the cities continuously ignore the courts and do as they please. At this point it can honestly be considered treason and domestic terrorism... If the supreme court of Canada makes these rulings it's the highest court in Canada and these officers are there to uphold said law. At what point do we draw a line with these criminals?
I only expect situations like this to get worse as the new “Conservation” districts come into effect. Ford was always banging on about the “war on the car” and so now by way of retribution has declared war on nature.
What a travesty, the GRCA are lost......using public money to aquire this and then having it taken and parcelled out by the GRCA and sold.....? Shameful. Doesn't the "C" stand for conservation?
The city should buy the eight hectare parcel and use the west side of it, adjacent to Pioneer Rd, it as a temporary managed site for camping for the unhoused. I note that there is already an established three season trailer park further up Pioneer Rd.
