City hits the brakes on allowing five-plexes on low density corner lots
26Review ,study, discuss , engage postpone blah blah blah . Drive over to Paul Avenue and look at numbers 28 and 60. They have been there since the neighborhood was built . ask the people who live on the street if they impact traffic , parking or noise. Spoiler alert they don't. I am so tired of the bureaucracy here .

Ontario allowing pharmacists to treat more conditions, administer more vaccines
21Come on! I trust a pharmacist more for medication knowledge than a GP!

Guelph not-for-profits awarded $10 million for projects that reduce carbon emissions
13Where did anyone mention “free money”? Read the article and understand what the announcement is about before uttering something utterly unrelated to what’s being reported!Innovation requires investment and support. This is a positive news story for Guelph and local agricultural and food/food service startups!

13It isn't free money. It is a waste of taxpayers money. Regardless of what the political operatives utterly say.

19I guess handing over all that money and all that control to the Developers didn't work. Still no affordable housing, still no housing in general. There is no Developer money in low cost housing so it just won't happen until it is forced. And part of that starts with them not owning our councillors.

16You know, Doug could stop spending all our taxes on site preparation for his Spa, the Island airport jets, the 413 highway to nowhere, the tunnel under the 401, and all the other vanity projects, an hire more doctors. Just saying.

Major east side development approved after decades of discussion
17Just a reminder: all the city can do is make land available for use. Unless a company choses to build a store in a certain location there is nothing the city can do.

11"For too long, much of our city has been locked into low-density zoning that effectively restricts housing to those who can afford detached home"Then make it affordable. It's all your fault (and the province's fault and federal gov's fault)In the 1970s single homes were attainable to the majority. The planet, and Ontario's agricultural land, your standard excuse, did not go extinct. Now we have 2x the manpower, and many x the efficiency, and vastly better technology to build family friendly detached homes with yards, in fact, cheaper relative to wages than in the 70s. Go back to sensible planning as it was, it worked then and it will work now, cut the non sense.

4And, as usual, there will be nowhere near enough parking spaces for the number of cars you can assure yourself WILL come with the new residents.Makes one wonder just who's going to get totally inconvenienced while Council tries to figure out how to deal with the (potentially) catastrophic mess left to them by this current Council and Mayor.

Take an EV for a test drive at upcoming education events in Guelph
5Too bad the cart was put before the horse. Not enough infrastructure to warrant an EV. Prices are too high for most people.

11Plans need to be approved before those commercial tenant agreements can be finalized. I look forward to seeing who they get. The need for a grocery store was heavily emphasized in our talks with them.

10The same people who voted down fiveplexes are the same people who keep talking about the housing crisis. You can’t say we need more homes while actively blocking them.Richardson, Allt, Billings, Caton, Caron, Busuttil and Downer

OPINION: In affordable housing, the more things, change, the more they stay the same
12Habitat for Humanity is doing a great job putting people together with affordable housing but they surely need a big boost to do more good work! We need to stop expecting for profit builders to to be philanthropic. That's not their business model but it is the business model of Habitat! They deserve the funding; they've proven they deserve it with positive results. Can we please support them with funding?

9I have had an EV for the last 5 years and would never go back to a gas car. My previous car was a hybrid and that gave me confidence to go all electric. I pay very little to drive it as it charges at home at night on the lower rates and I seldom go to a charging station, only when I am not coming home that night. Service costs have been minimal…just derusting the brakes as they are seldom used with regenerative braking. I’m convinced EV’s are here to stay.

Ontario auditor general warns special education is failing many students
9Growing levels of violence toward school staff is well-documented. Schools are not hospitals or pediatric psychiatric institutions. All the EAs in the world cannot solve this. EA absenteeism is often because of being hit, bit, head-butted, hair pulled, etc. Many of these children need intensive treatment, not just hopeful thoughts about a few more EAs and inclusion. Where are the treatment programs for these children? How many child and adolescent psych beds does the Guelph Hospital have? The answer is zero.
