'Environmental destruction': Stream near Hawk Ridge development dries up after berm breaches

Sadly, 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.

It'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.

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

'It's sad': Classrooms dark as Georgian's Orillia campus closes

Kevin 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.

In 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.

The 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

Zero 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?

Mr. 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.

City to weigh living wage employer status; mayor warns of 'slippery slope'

It’s a sad chicken and egg situation. People deserve a living wage but if it drives up costs for everyone else then no one wins.May as well be on ODSP and get everything for free. No incentive to work at the current minimum wage.

The Orillians in ward 4 have reached their limit on Janet-Lynn’s socialism.

There have been numerous former wetlands been used on which to build subdivisions without flooding of homes. Species maybe lost in that particular area, but they live on elsewhere.Less fuss is made when highways are re-routed and humans can no longer make a living on what are now unused roads. What do they do? Move or retire and die off, but their families live on elsewhere. What makes other species so different?

Riddle me this - if they get everything “free,” why is the quality of life consistently for ODSP recipients so low? Could you perhaps be fully incorrect and they don’t get everything free…

Absolutely sickening...this sick addiction to growth at any cost will be the death of us. Not just the scoundrels at LIV...what about municipal council that seem to think that mindless growth and development are good for our community...they and LIV all have blood on their hands..

@ onlooker I'm afraid we've turned to a mostly socialist system. Hence; big governments that are out of control needing to "push" development in order to pay for their unsustainable largesse. If you cant see that; i think you are in love with all government. Solution: stop increasing the money supply just to keep things going. That's why liberal socialist governments love situations like covid. They can justify printing money. How has all that worked out so far. ? Does inflation come to mind. Cant fix socialism with more socialism. Maybe take an economics course?

Community colleges were built to serve the local communities and have done a wonderful job doing so; until they were deliberately underfunded so that they would fail. There is no shortages of students willing to learn in the Orillia area, no shortages of teachers who can teach who have made their homes in Orillia. What has suddenly changed? Not everyone can afford to run up and down the highway any more trying to get an education nor can they afford the horrible rents to live in Barrie. This is a mean spirited and short-sighted government decision while offering absolutely nothing in return to Orillia and the surrounding area students.

Why would we spend our taxpayers money, on a certification when some of our community members don't even make that living wage? Very out of touch and gives a virtue signaling impression
