Orillia moving to recycling carts, every-other-week collection
27Yes, the people of Orillia have been clamouring for the added convenience of a giant cart that won't fit anywhere and a 50% reduction in the pickup schedule!NOT.

Orillia council delays decision on new Champlain statuary plan
11I can only support one direction for the Champlain Monument. BRING IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS. Any other direction does not get my support. Do not waste any of my tax dollars on any other made up solutions. If it cant be reinstalled in it's original condition then just destroy it and put it to rest.

23This should be interesting during the winter with the city's poor record of snow clearing.

5For once, I agree with Mayor McIsaac. It is a delay tactic.

11Why should Champlain be given a back seat. That’s no different than the indigenous complaining he was looking down on them. This is not reconciliation this is blatant reverse inequity.Champlain is famous…the other figures are complete unknowns…does not make sense.

17360L more than twice the size of a normal oil barrel! A big blue very unattractive object to deal with, while urban lots are increasingly being allowed to be smaller. If you close the lids the squirrels will have them perforated the first time you put a meat tray in it. Not to mention snow plows . The system wasn't broken before so Ford had to break it to get a contract for his buddy.

Province looks to shrink Simcoe County council, give Warden more powers
16Any provincial appointment is suspect. None are based on merit but on Ford's self serving, ambitions regarding everything from his massive expenditures of self promotion, overly grand visions of his construction projects and ambitions, his consistent false promises, destruction of our safety networks and protections and his actions of dictatorship.

17Warden with “strong powers” being appointed by provincial government is very suspect.

10design is awful, put them back no walls or interactive stuff, just big statues of times past. let the kids sit in front of them: not climb a wall separating them, that's almost going backward in thinking

12How about we put the million into the snow removal?

Controversy and celebration on top at Monday's council meeting
10The plan presented so far for Champlain etc., is mind boggling too expensive. The Federal government needs to re-install it since they were the ones whose bright idea it was to remove it in the first place due to some far fetched rights “flavour of the year” over-reaction at that time which is no longer even newsworthy.

15Want to save money and make the whole situation better? Don't built literal walls to keep up the metaphorical ones in this whole situation. You literally need a concrete pad, put the statues in a semi circle with plenty of information that lets everyone tell their story. This isn't two sides of an issue. There is an easier (and cheaper) way to fix this situation.

13What will happen in the winter when we lose 2 feet of road due to snow banks. I guess no recycle pickup all winter long.

3“ Czetwerzuk and Fallis are looking for support from council to have staff prepare a report about a reduced speed limit program in the city.”If there is a speed problem in their ward then reduce speeds there and leave the rest of the City alone. People are already forced to drive UNDER the speed limit in many areas due to the senior population. Prime example is Barrie Road where drivers already do 40 kph in 50 zone, if speeds are reduced they will do 30 kph!! I am not a speeder, but having to follow someone driving so much slower than the posted limit is frustrating for everyone following them…that in itself can create accidents.

12Stadius I’m not sure what posh experience you seek buying food but I have always found this store to be clean and welcoming with an excellent staff to boot.
