Declaration of state of emergency not necessary during heavy snowfall, Shoemaker says
9It is an emergency especially for people who can’t walk. If it wasn’t an emergency then why is all business closed. Give your shovels a shake and it’s time for a new mayor.

9I was here in 90’s when the mall collapsed and if it keeps going we are going to be there. It’s not an emergency for you people sitting comfortably in your war house. Think about the homeless and give your heads a shake.

City urging patience as it deals with snowmageddon
19The city needs to do better… it’s only day 2 and they have done a terrible job keeping up as well as plowing them. The major should go for a ride talk a look!!

53I think given the circumstances the city has done all right. Maybe cut some slack here. These crews have been working non stop. Cant just wish the snow to disappear. Work like this takes time. Thank you to all the city workers putting in extra time over the last few days to keep the city open.

As Black Friday looms, Canada Post lays off employees over the phone
35It seems that postal service should be deemed an essential service. The same should apply to dock workers holding up ships from unloading.

As Black Friday looms, Canada Post lays off employees over the phone
29If only they paid their employees a living wage, this measure would not have been necessary. Never blame the employees for being forced into a position to stand up for themselves. The corporations exploit workers at every turn!

46Why should a school zone be enforced 24/7 when school isn’t 24 hours a day?

City urging patience as it deals with snowmageddon
46We have received an astronomical amount of snow. The fact the roads are still passable is a feat in and of itself. Not many cities in ontario could cope with the amount of snow we've received. Everyone is doing a great job!

The snow just keeps coming! City provides update on snow clearing efforts
39Getting every street plowed at least once should be a priority over getting the main arteries done several times. If there were a fire or medical emergency on my street that has not been plowed at all, someone would probably die. The snow is over my waist and I'm 6'6.
