We're not a tourist town simple as that. There's nothing here. Bush plane roof is leaking . They need 5 million. Its hilarious people think we're a tourist town.
Good luck to all candidates in all races. Each person deserves credit for making their lives public in order to serve.Mr. Shoemaker and several counsellors have taken some deserved criticism and a lot of undeserved criticism. There are so many things that municipal leaders simply cannot control, like the past two winters.Keep your minds open, citizens. Listen to what each candidate has to say. Don't listen to unfounded rumours. May we be served well.
I don't know why anyone would want to be on City Council. The insults, the incessant and ludicrous accusations of corruption, the ridiculous expectations! Nobody gets rich doing this and it's a lot harder than you think to be constantly accused of being at best incompetent and at worst things that aren't suitable for putting in print. I encourage all the keyboard warriors who constantly attack council to run for council or at least serve on a municipal board or committee. Get out from behind your keyboard, stop moaning, complaining, and attacking, and do something constructive. And one final...just because you see a lot of negative comments about mayor and council on Sootoday doesn't mean everyone in the city feels the same way. This is not a representative sample of the people of Sault Ste Marie.
These players and families pay thousands of dollars a year to play. A huge part of that cost is ice time, which includes helping to pay for operating costs of arena attendants. Occasionally, they may have to clean a bigger mess…that’s the job. Fine the team, make them clean it the next day, but for a team to lose a championship like this is beyond pathetic.
This matter should have been discussed with the team and an opportunity given to make things right before taking such drastic action. It's just not right and the NOHA should be held accountable.
As much as I agree that the new location is not ideal, I have to admit that I avoid the downtown core as much as possible. Too much crime and a general feeling of being unsafe. Until the homelessness and addiction crises in this city are improved, the downtown area will not be appealing.
People living downtown don't have many options. I think it's only City Meat Market and the Dollar store in the mall. I hope this gentleman is able to overcome the hurdles and provide a much needed service for that area. Fruit? Veggies?
I agree a beautiful station lots of parking ,restaurants and historical surroundings easy acsess compaired to a rail car yard and heavy industrial setting,,very sad decision
So let me get this straight, Porco builds a beautiful station with various other amenities, at the entrance to the international bridge, close to hotels and they move to a gravel train yard in front of Algoma Steel?? WOW!
