EZRide co-owner says company will take a 'hit' if Uber comes to town

I can understand supporting local and small businesses, but consumers work hard for their money. It's not charity for business owners. Nobody owes you their fare because you got here first.Being a business owner is hard, I get it. But this is a free market. When bigger competition shows up, the answer is to adapt and overcome, to sharpen your pricing, your service, your local advantage. Not lobby the city to keep competitors out and hope you fly under the radar.If you're going to gatekeep, do it with a service worth choosing. Not by lobbying to keep the competition out.

Ford’s Billy Bishop Airport expansion cancelled by Carney government

Finally, a spot of good news on the Doug Ford front. It would be nice if he would spend more time and money on northern highways and healthcare as opposed to giving sweet deals to rich developers.

Competition is good for everyone. It keeps current companies on their toes and forces them to find ways to stay in the race. The result is the customer gets some choices and perhaps more competitive rates.

There are no blood donation locations in the Sault, when clicking that link. Not sure this article will do much good.

Let me get this straight you have a problem with a deal where the Ford family might make money, with zero proof. Wait till you hear about this guy named Mark Carney and how much he's making himself as PM of Canada with 107 conflicts of interest.

There must have been some money to be made by the Ford family in all of his plans. Billy Bishop airport is barely able to handle the plane sizes it has now. This was another dumb Ford dream...like the tunnel.

And? It’s a free market. One of these local companies left me stranded after major dental surgery and I sat there for an hour. Another one yelled at me when I attempted to close their automatic door. The taxis in the city are obscenely expensive.

I don't believe the blood clinic comes to the Soo anymore. It would be nice to have clarification on that news article. Thanks

As someone with O negative blood,I would gladly donate if they still had a clinic coming to town.

Doug Ford gets these ideas in his head and then acts like a bull in a china shop, regardless of public opinion, because he knows what's best. Like all populists, his simple solutions to complex issues is a huge letdown. Yet, where are the opposition parties with alternatives?

Algoma Steel receiving over $1.4 million to 'upskill employees:' province

Wow, PM Trudeau came here with millions of dollars to build the EAF, and as soon as it was built, close to 1100 jobs were terminated. Now a handful of workers are being trained. I worked there over three decades, now I shake my head and ask, what is really going on behind those gates?

Planning to visit the Gordie Howe bridge? Prepare for heavy traffic

Visit and support a nation that is letting their president run wild with deception, rude comments, hundreds of erroneous unchecked facts and statements, out right fibbing, a crew of government stooges that toe his line of mismanagement, and his narcissistic autocracy. No thanks, support Canada and Canadians...spend in Canada.There will always be a permanent resentment in USA relations because trump and how the Americans let it continue. They did not learn the first time? Scarey.

With the nearest blood donation service 300km away it’s a bit difficult to donate.

you really get the sense that Doug isn't as interested in governing the province as he is bypassing Toronto city council for his pet projects.

What a joke. During my time at the plant they hired A TON of welders only to put them in production for their tickets to expire. Sounds like a cash grab!

Retiree protesting new bus routes urges council candidates to ride Sault Transit

Very well written letter, young lady.

Retiree protesting new bus routes urges council candidates to ride Sault Transit

The best decisions are made by listening to the people who rely on a service every day, not just by reading city reports. Council should review the new transit system and make improvements where needed. Hopefully, the next Council will take a fresh look at this issue, listen to transit users, and make the practical changes needed to ensure the system works better for everyone.
