Ford may fill in part of Lake Ontario to build new convention centre
15Why doesn't Master Douglas just call it a "ballroom" and get past the double talk? Will he actually do an environmental assessment? In my opinion...not a chance.

Under-trained truck drivers on Ontario highways: What MPPs are saying
17All truck drivers who got their AZ licenses in the last 5 years should be re-tested at a gov't run test facility.

Trash talk: City looking to reduce waste, extend life of landfill
15Honestly hiring a consultant was a waste of tax money. We are already prolonging our landfill by our reduced efforts. What more do they want? Likely see our tags reduced to 15 bags a year.

16We should be looking for a new site, not prolonging a waste site on the lake ( it never should have been there).

Opposition vows fight over OSAP cuts, urges Ford to ‘do the right thing’
12Do people really think that everything should be given to them?Handing out student loans should be available to those who need them to better themselves but like EVERY other loan should be paid back in full.Just handing someone a grant for a free ride is not how the world works.ENOUGH of the entitlement.

Photographer captures unique feasting fisher, angry fox image
12If this story is accurate, it is deeply disappointing. Baiting wild animals with grains, vegetables, and fat to manufacture “unique interactions” is not wildlife photography. It is manipulation. It alters natural behavior, increases stress and aggression, raises the risk of disease transmission, and can create dependency. For territorial carnivores like foxes and fishers, concentrating them at an artificial food source is irresponsible. We cannot preach conservation while staging conflict for clicks and calendar sales. A fox baring its teeth over a human-made bait pile is not charming woodland drama. It is a problem we created. Wildlife photography should prioritize patience, distance, habitat respect, and non-interference. Many ethical organizations have strict rules against baiting for a reason. It's concerning to see this normalized by media. If we care about wild animals, we must do better. Respect the animal. Respect the ecosystem. Stop manufacturing moments at their expense.

8“It can also fund supports for the impoverished through increased taxation.” NO INCREASE IN MUNICIPAL TAXES. This would just be playing into Provincial and Federal hands. This is not a municipal problem it is a national one created by them. Plus…a big PLUS…many are not Orillians, they are being placed here from all over.

Couchiching Conservancy forum shines light on creature struggles
3Animals and plants are more tenacious than snowmobilers… if you block one way they will find another way around it. Nature looks after its own and does not need unnecessary helicoptering. We’re more likely to end up destroying ourselves, but nature will merrily continue adapting and evolving as it has for millions maybe billions of years without us. Chernobyl is a prime example.

9OSAP has been abused.Why should some families scrimp and save for a post secondary education for their kid(s), while others "live it up" and then cry that they can't afford to send a kid to school and that it should be the tax payers responsibility. I resent that.
