......and some wonder why more folks don't go into business. Too much red tape. The city could have at least given this man more time to conform. Funny...the property was good enough to operate as a bar...forever... but not as a convenience store.

Absolutely correct. Go broke paying all these permits. Be helpful to someone opening a business in the Soo. A grocery store there is a fabulous idea. Extend some time for him.

A good example of over regulation, city planning should be working with the owner instead of putting up barriers. I realize part of it is the Ontario building code, but the cost of doing a permit that didnt include major changes or renovations is just ridiculous. They can also give him a reasonable timeline to make an accessible entrnace.

It’s a change of use issue. Everyone has to follow the rules. Pretty simple really.

They really need to look at the people that have to do community service for their crimes and round them up and clean out the hydrants. No need to hire and pay anyone with our tax dollars

Oh that's really awful that the PUC crews are having a difficult time keeping up. That's really upsetting. I have an idea, hire more people to clean them up. PUC absolutely has the money for it.

The loss of the Canadian shoppers certainly has to hurt them. Even with the poor exchange rate, Canadians have always shopped over there.This has much more to do with politics. I am sure you will see other stores close unless things change.

There's going to be a lot of this in Soo Michigan. I feel bad for the people who didn't vote to destroy their economy.

Only Carney could deliver this! Can’t wait to hear the PP crowd griping about Brookfield even though they have nothing to do with this massive success!!

" These are Provincial rules and not something Council has jurisdiction over"Then why are you going in there to inspect the building, if you have no jurisdiction over the Provincial rules you are now trying to enforce on this business owner?

It should be easy to get 2 Cons to cross the floor and join the Liberals. I imagine there are a few Cons who are totally fed up with their leader, PP. There is no appetite amongst Canadians for another expensive election.

Only multi millionaire Carney PM would say their is no panic because he never has to worry about food, money, housing etc!! Unlike 90% of Canadians. Liberal voters need to wake up next time around because panic is a great motivator to get thing done. Carney will never never lose because of his massive wealth.
