That's how our city operates. Just keep flogging a dead horse. Unbelievable! It was the city that promoted moving business to Great Northern Road to get them out of the city downtown core, let the downtown run down to the point that nobody wants to go there because its not safe to shop there Businesses have to lock their doors during business hours to protect staff and their busnesses. Now the city cries that it has to revitalize the area and convinces the government to finance their foibles. What a tremendous waste of tax-payers money. It's time for a change at city hall.
Look back to our waterfront in "the good old days". It was an industrial wasteland. If it wasn't for forward thinking by the then council and the courage to develop it we wouldn't have the beautiful waterfront we can all enjoy today.I support council in their attempt to revitalize our downtown. Our downtown problems are the same as most cities across the Country.We are trying to mitigate things the best we can.If you don't like our current council then run for office if you think you can do better. Put up or shut up.
I am not a huge fan or Trump....or the Dems.....but .....think about what you are saying.....boycotting a country and its people because of one man ? I still go over because the people are friendly for the most part and even with the tariffs....you get a better deal on some things....
When unions work out higher wages the price of everything goings up for everyone including non union workers. Everyone else pays for union increases in pay.
When your friend and neighbour sucker punches you and kicks you when you're down . Why would you want to keep visiting? I'm so done with the 'sister city" rhetoric at least for now.
Kudos to Councillor Kinach for attempting to bring attention to our veterans in the Soo. Although the poppy is frowned upon by some Legion members for being walked upon I believe Mr Kinach has good intentions and I’d like to hear more. Many cities in Canada have already put poppies on crosswalks temporarily around Remembrance Day. With so much money being spent numerous times on pride colours, etc. I think we can all agree that more attention belongs on our veterans.
Absolutely pathetic blaming union workers instead of greedy corporations and CEOs who are getting skyrocketing salaries and bonuses. Galen Weston of Loblaws makes $11 million a year and is worth $18 billion. He couldn't spend all that money in 10 lifetimes. But yeah, keep blaming ordinary workers.
