‘Turning of the page’: City hall finally has a French-speaking receptionist
96
It's only 9% of the population in the city who speak French as their first language, so in my opinion, it shouldn't have been a priority. Just saying. This isn't Quebec. I know I'm going to get a lot of thumbs down but I don't care. I'm entitled to my opinion.

Privatization never leads to better services. Look at our highways for an example.

So a possible thing that could bring money into the city, jobs and save money on taxes and the city turns it down.Of course because it doesn't affect some of these councillors. This whole group needs to go

Surprise surprise... City Council votes no yet again for something that would bring money into the city.

Well this is nice to see, so can we put a picture back up of our monarch? I don’t believe the decision to remove it in the first place should have been made by Mr. Shoemaker or anyone there on council!

These guys are clueless. Lots of opportunities? Certainly not one's equivalent wages and benefits. The industrial market in the Soo is small, and with a glut of 1,000 people (not to mention other companies laying off due to a decrease in ASI business) injected into this market, there are only so many skilled jobs. Not everyone wants or can retrain to be something entirely different. Not everyone wants to work in the mines hours away from the Soo and be separated from their family and community for weeks at a time. We need more, not fewer, manufacturing and heavy industry jobs here, not less. Tourism and green jobs do not anchor a large community - industry does.

How can you say there's no danger to public safety if you haven't identified the source of the smell?

That is not enough. It should go up by more than that, to be honest, so it’ll make people not want to break the law..

That’s a good idea,once privatized prices would skyrocket

How many years do we have to wait for an Italian receptionist?

When I first heard the news that GFL wanted to take over our landfill, my first thought was what's the catch?

"Councillors authorized the road closure of Peoples Road from Penno Road to Third Line, including intersections, from May 1 to Nov. 27." - in what world does this make sense? That is a SEVEN MONTH closure short of a few days. Why do construction jobs take this long? They never used to - and they still don't take this long in other cities. Only in SSM!

Meaningful support. Would've meant never shutting down the blast furnaces or the coke ovens. No manufacturing will come to Canada it's too expensive . Add the industrial carbon tax and companies will go to China Vietnam Indonesia. You have to make it worth their while and we have zero to offer

GFL got a hospital for a dollar and thought, ‘Let’s see what else they’ll give away'.. who is running thiz yard sale.

They'll hire a consultant and pay then 80k for something a 4th grader can deduce.
