Sault man battles bureaucracy after life-threatening brain infection
48There are SOOO many things wrong with this article... 1) If we had been treated properly on his first trip to emerge the situation might not have escalated as badly. this is all to common a story coming out of emergency departments across the country, not just here. 2) Once he was discharged, the system should be setup so that he is automatically given a single point of contact while recovering, be it a temp family doctor / nurse practitioner, but something should be setup to help after, even if it's only for a few months till everything is resolved. 3) the MTO stating "the onus is on the driver to demonstrate they are cleared to drive, with supportive medical documentation from healthcare professionals." is an absolute joke given the the types of drivers we see out there on a daily basis. The MTO knows this type of situation comes up frequently and should have systems in place to help these individuals, not turn them away because "o you don't have a doctor"

Sault man battles bureaucracy after life-threatening brain infection
47What a mess. I really feel for this guy. He was failed at multiple turns. Unfortunately the healthcare system is under enormous strain due to chronic underfunding. Steps are being made to get more family doctors, but it's moving too slowly.

Support offices coming to all Ontario school boards
38So take money away from educators and support programs to fund a new position that is supposed to help you access those educators and support programs that were cut because their job was created?... Maybe the problem isn't helping find supports, maybe the problem is accountability? Maybe instead of just letting the delinquent child that's bullying and disrupting the entire classes parents say "oo my little jimmy would never do that, and if you punish him i will sue" you take that child and get them specific help away from the other children? Look, i get it, it's not fair to segregate children based on abilities, but face it, some children need to be, for their own good and the good of everyone else. if a child is constantly distracting, constantly causing problems, constantly just screaming and so forth, how exactly can we expect the other 20 or so children to effectively learn? And if a parent contacts this office, will they get "here is a list of private tutors"?

Opinion: Swedish symposium shows how poor Ontario’s moose management is
28I was up hwy 129 a couple of weeks ago. There were natives from London, Ontario parked with many trucks and trailers. Even a full size refrigerated transport trailer to store the meat from their moose harvest. Who knows how many moose they killed, before being asked to leave by local native tribes and the OPP. None of those moose would likely be counted by MNR. In fact MNR were never mentioned or seen on site... 🤦🤷

Mayor under pressure to address poor environmental performance
24I can understand the ESC's concern over the mayor not meeting with them, but perhaps the mayor recognizes some things that the ESC doesn't. First, CO2 is not a pollutant and is not even the most potent greenhouse gas. It just happens to be easy to target and tax. Second, man is not the main driver of climate change. Third, climate change has been a constant for thousands of years, often with CO2 levels much higher than today's. Fourth, the futile attempts to stop it will be economically ruinous to economies and particularly the poor. Making everything more expensive through punitive taxes and fees, limiting housing growth, not expanding roads to accommodate increasing population are all idealistic ideas that will punish everyone, but the lower middle and poorest classes will suffer the most.I'd like to think that the mayor recognizes this, but I will admit that he should have had the courtesy to at least meet with them.

‘Ice and snow – take it slow’: Police remind drivers how to stay safe
24More fines need to happen to those who are too lazy and careless to clean off thier vehicles. There has been a lot of time sheets of ice and hard snow has flew off a vehicle hitting mine.

22$20,000 for a water fountain in the downtown plaza?Seriously?We had a beautiful waterfountain at the city's waterfront before, but the city was to cheap to keep it maintained, now they want to put one at the downtown plaza where it'll likely get destroyed!SMH

20Interesting a $20,000 water fountain for the downtown plaza. Seriously!!We had a water fountain in the river an apparently too expensive to operate and never to be seen again.This plaza has been nothing but a money pit and yet council see's fit to spend the taxpayer's money on something so frivolous!Boy this council needs a reality check and this city needs an auditor to keep this councils reckless spending in check.

10keeping those kids in the system to be raised by someone else rather than parents. The governments job is not to take care of people. Its only sole function is to ensure no one tramples your rights.... foreign and domestic..... thats it. If you people would stop and open your eyes that everything the government has touched has gotten worse. Stop asking what the government can do for you and start asking what you can do to help your fellow man.... that's it. That's all.
