A feel good story where everyone benefitted from the kindness and empathy of others. Congratulations to the retiring gentleman and well done, Orillia Home Hardware.
I am truly disappointed in the developers in Craighurst. They had an opportunity to preserve some of Craighurst's history. The old schoolhouse was built a 140 years ago, by the community of the day on donated lands. The advertisments for Craighurst Crossing talk about small town charm. What charm will remain if they replace an historical build with a strip mall and a Tim Hortons.
With the amount of empty storefronts downtown, why doesn't one of these landlords curry some good public relations and offer to put them up in the meantime?
Naive to think that this doesn't already occur at our parks, especially in the summer and baseball diamonds in adult leagues, ect. They might as well make it legal.
All of the items mentioned in Doug Coopers statement indicate it is a very bad idea to open the consumption of liquor to these events. For some reason Doug Ford is obsessed with drinking alcohol. All it does is make this province unsafe - drinking and driving, drinking and fighting, drinking and gambling. These will all happen if Orillia goes ahead with the concept of open drinking of alcohol.
Local commenter to this online publication certainly hates on Doug Ford. Ford is far from perfect but better than what we had before. People have short memories.
This is nothing but a smoke screen to keep damaging information from the public. The FOI does as intended and that’s why Ford wants to change it. How can any citizens think secrecy from the public, who they are elected to represent, is a good thing?
Hmmmm.I wonder what the price at the pumps would be if say we had no Carbon taxes, no clean fuel regulations (hidden carbon tax) and HST?I wonder how wealthy our country would be if we exported oil as the country with the fourth largest reserves (UAE and Saudis come to mind)?I wonder why we would have the second highest unemployment rate in the G7?There has to be a common denominator here. Can't put my finger on it. Hmmmm
