Local market will receive 'heavy fines' if they don't renovate or close

......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.

The US of A has elected a man with the same emotional maturity as a toddler to lead its country. He is a coward and the day can’t come soon enough that he is gone.

I would be very leary about visiting at this time while they have rogue ice agents causing havoc and death to american citizens and sanctioned by their government

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.

People gotta stop worrying about Trump which we can't change. Canadians need to worry about our government which is a complete disaster.

Trump wants a deal that would benefit him, if we give alittle we would gain alot. If carney would show some restraint and diplomacy, when either in US or Canada, instead of instigating trump at every turn, we might get the chance at a deal. Just like when you call your wife a bad cook and then turn around and expect her to make supper.

There is no moral fibre or any sense of compassion with Trump. He is not capable of any sympathetic feelings towards another human being. I do not know how Americans can sit idly by and let this buffoon continue to tear down democracy. Kudos to Carney for standing up to tyrant Trump.

FAFO. Zero sympathy for the USA.

I could careless what canadian mayors have to say about President Trump. Where are those same canadian mayors moral outrage, at the mass immigration that Canada has had for the last 5+ year? What about the opioid crisis? Also what about the catch and release with criminals? That's what I'd like to know.

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!!
