City bows to pressure, will grant OMAH's deputation request
55I have less respect for the mayor every time he opens his mouth.

City bows to pressure, will grant OMAH's deputation request
43Our mayor, the most senior official in the City, follows in the footsteps of his well-respected parents, both of whom were past mayors, went on CBC radio and said OMAH reps were like '4-year-old children who demanded more cookies'.This is a jaw-dropping comment, dripping with contempt, dismissal and disrespect. Exactly who is the child?Mr. McIsaac has shamed his office.P.S. Mr. MAYOR, priming your CAO with a nice little speech today about OMAH does nothing to mitigate the harm you've done to our City's reputation.

44How hard is it to show a little class and move your agenda around to not waste people's time? Like this is basic human decency stuff.

37I don't know how much less I could have but I am the same. Saying the board was like a four year old not getting a cookie is such an offensive aggressive way to start the interview. And then to claim he wants to work with them and backing off about his statement that the city could get 245000 dollars rent is just more double talk. Interesting he is saying it's Orillia Matters that's creating the tension.

COLUMN: Putting OMAH, iconic building at risk is 'shameful' ploy
31It appears the Mayor of Orillia does not like being challenged. And it appears his ego is quite large. This issue is something that the city council should definitely be a part of and have the opportunity to discuss and vote on. If the mayor decides to use his "powers" he might as well forget about winning the next election. JMO.

'Safer snorting' handout at high school causes blowback from parents
13Those parents being angry is ridiculous. Your kids are going to do what they are going to do. It is better to educate them and help prevent them from being dead or doing damage they can not be recover from. It has been proven endless times safe injection sites save lives. Education saves lives. Would these parents rather have their kids dead or educated?

Council seeks answers after pond failures damage trout habitat
32Bob Bowls knows what he is talking about. The houses will flood and the wetland destroyed if this development goes through. I expect there was as lot of pushback against the development. Trouble or disaster follows when you disrupt nature.-

13This is no more likely to encourage students to snort than putting condom machines in high school washrooms (done over 30 years ago) would have encouraged them to engage in sex.

27The developer LIV should be held responsible and pay to have the stream restored.

18Psshhh, how about our kids just decide to not do drugs? Don’t say it’s impossible… I have 8 in total from 23 to 9 years old and not ONE is a drug addict. It starts from home. Please, excuse yourself if you believe that EVERY CHILD will have the urge/NEED to use DRUGS. Not to mention MY own background which is never having EVER used DRUGS, lol a shock to some.. but drug use isn’t forced, it’s a CHOICE. Which starts from HOME. Having our schools give a “Snort Safe” pamphlet is an absolute crises and if you believe it’s welcome, I pray your children have not felt they SHOULD “try” drugs.

16Disgusting. "School" is a Cult Religion now. Pushing Sexual narratives, enabling Illegal Drug use? Who's idea was this? They need to be fired.Fentanyl Overdose deaths one of the leading causes of death in Young adults it's a great time to push more into it. School Boards are composed of evil, horrible people. Get back to Education.These "Snorters" are what in Law refers to "Drug Paraphernalia" ILLEGAL Where are the OPP ? Giving demonstrations at Assemblies?

Council seeks answers after pond failures damage trout habitat
23Imagine a beautiful spring morning, a father and son quietly walking a perfect little stream hoping to catch one maybe two speckled trout, for a delicious breakfast. Well I was that little boy and before that my father was that little boy with his father. Silver creek was a wonderful place to spend a few hours. So you messed it up. The consultants, the town council, the developers and the construction guys. Shoddy planning and shoddy work. The magic you have destroyed cannot be replaced.You should be very ashamed of yourselves.Brian Hurl

24I've watched this mayor damage and overstep his role. He is not the voice of Orillia, the people are. He should not have received Mayor's powers as he has not demonstrated his integrity to the people of Orillia..

‘It was horrific’: Dog dies during response from animal services
19I am a dog lover and owner & that's why this statement bothers me: "Ge said the three-year-old Rottweiler and another farm dog had previously wandered from their large rural property but had always been safely returned. But this time it turned out to be tragic." It sounds like the dogs have been out on their own at least a few times previously. It's the responsibility of the owner to keep them safely on their own property. It's a tragic ending for the poor animal but there may have been an accident of some sort in their future if they habitually leave their property unattended.
