'Environmental destruction': Stream near Hawk Ridge development dries up after berm breaches
37Sadly, this was predictable as LIV is involved. They have good lawyers and PR people who can spout and spin, but nothing in their minds about actually protecting the environment for the sake of the environment. Develop the site, trash the natural community, rake in a profit, disappear. LIV should be banned by municipalities! The headwaters of Silver Creek are now dead. Beyond shameful, it's criminal.

35It's gut-wrenching Irony they had the nerve to name one of the roads in the development "Brook Trout Drive" before they destroyed the Brook. Just sickening.

'Unfortunate': Orillia church loses tax rebate after late filing error
23Hard and fast rule so the city was 100% right on this. You have 60 days to submit. It is not rocket science. Allowing extensions helps no one.

13Ridiculous from the city, a one week oversight. The way this city wastes money on some frivolous things they should be ashamed to see this in print.

25Once again our fine MPP is a no-show on this issue. A huge loss for the community and Ms Dunlop is invisible. Shameful.

Province introduces act to cut red tape and speed up permits
19"Red tape" is in place to stop developers from doing something stupid, whether that may be to ensure protection of the environment or ensuring a safe construction. Yes, overlapping jurisdictions can be burdensome towards getting a permit, but most regulations and 'red tape' are there for a good reason. However, King Ford's notion is that anything that stands in the way of his developer buddy's rip and tear plans has to be eliminated for the sake of personal profit.

12The City could do more. They could use the "Authority" they may or, may not have to petition the Provincial Authorities, that "Mistakes" do happen and punishing the Church will only result in the needy they support, in a worse way.

'It's sad': Classrooms dark as Georgian's Orillia campus closes
18Kevin Weaver says closing the Georgian College Orillia campus is about long-term sustainability and student success. That’s hard to accept. For many students in Orillia, losing a local campus creates real barriers—not opportunities.Single parents, students working multiple jobs, and those already facing financial strain can’t simply commute to Barrie. For some, this decision will mean putting their education on hold altogether. Let’s also be clear about accountability. Years of tuition freezes and chronic under funding under the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, led by Doug Ford, have contributed to the financial strain colleges are now facing. Students and communities like Orillia shouldn’t be the ones paying the price.

Poilievre outlines plan to lower gas costs during local stop (8 photos)
9In my opinion, if Pierre Poilievre’s misinformation and embellishments of the true facts were music that man would be an orchestra. He truly needs to resign and replace by someone that is for Canadians and not in it just for his personal gain.

14The campus was opened by an ethical, principled PC Premier Davis. Closed by an unethical, dishonest and morally bankrupt PC Premier Ford. Yet the Dunlop fan club (including the mayor) will still clap like trained seals.

Pierre Poilievre brings Zero Tax on Gas Tour to region Saturday
13Zero Tax on Gas. Well at least he's up to 4 words now. I hope his base can keep up.But "zero tax on gas" is NEVER going to happen so why bother with the dog and pony show? Its just a bunch of lies. Can't Poilievre deal with reality?

17Mr. Bowles is a champion for knowledge and understanding of the natural world around us. As is Mr. Hawke. We may not always agree with people but it sure seems these two are right time and time again.
