'Huge loss': Craighurst school house to be demolished this week

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.

Council to consider reimagined Champlain Monument on Monday

Although I would like to see the monument replaced in some form, I think there are many better things to spend almost $1 million on.

Council to consider reimagined Champlain Monument on Monday

Wow almost a million bucks to put back a statue. I can think of a lot more important things we could be spending that money on.

'Irrelevant': Ford’s BYOB push appears to fall flat in Orillia

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.

Bad idea. Just because it already occurs doesn't mean it should be legal. Dumb reason

Proposed ban on unnecessary pet surgeries 'a long time coming'

Then why wouldn’t spaying and neutering be classed as unnecessary surgeries to a pet since they are also done for our benefit not theirs??

'It's ridiculous': Rising fuel prices a pain at the pumps for locals

It’s insane, caused by an insane US president.

Almost 100 Orillia employees make this year's Sunshine List

Some pretty eye-watering numbers...thank you for the perspective. It is ridiculous that the government hasn't adjusted the $100,000 threshold from 30 years ago. What is really shocking is the level of upper management in some of these places....really Georgian College, how many VP's do you need??? Yet you close the Orillia campus before cutting the fat at the top. Shame on you!!!

Why block information from the public if you’re not trying to hide anything . Things that make you go hmmmm …

'Irrelevant': Ford’s BYOB push appears to fall flat in Orillia

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.

Orillia man sees red after Canada Post removes local mailboxes

It does seem rather odd. If they are removing mailboxes, you’d think the actual post office would be the last one to go.

Local MPP says controversial FOI changes about 'restoring the balance'

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.

Local MPP says controversial FOI changes about 'restoring the balance'

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?
