How Coun. Caputo proposes to fix our roads
142A little too late, be prepared to pack up your offices. Citizens of Sault Ste. Marie do not let the last four years of these councillors’ failures get your vote because of talks of a plan to fill potholes. Now they’re playing with the intelligence of our community.

Canadians being asked to complete 2026 census as letters are mailed out
71I did my census on line, but I resent all the personal questions asked. I don't believe the government needs so much personal information just to count heads in the country. I think the government is too intrusive in questions asked.

24They are not new, and both their parents are part of the old boys’ club here in Sault Ste. Marie. You better be careful who you vote for.

81Skipping the census doesn’t “send a message.”It erases your community from the numbers.The census isn’t run by politicians. It’s done by Statistics Canada so governments (all levels) know where people actually live and what they need.That data is used for:health care planningschools and childcarehousing and infrastructuretransit and local servicessupports for seniors and familiesWhen people don’t respond, their area can look smaller or less in need than it really is.That means fewer resources, weaker planning, and longer wait times where you live.And then we all hear:“Why are services so bad here?”Because the data says fewer people are there than actually are.You don’t hurt Ottawa by ignoring the census.You shortchange your own town.Fill it out. Be counted.That’s how communities get what they actually need.

73I appreciate Shoemakers dedication, however i believe SSM needs a more fiscally responsible Mayor, and entire council for that matter. Raising taxes should not be the solution year after year.

81Is this a joke? Those two and their harebrained ideas and now they're concerned about the condition of city streets? What do they think the citizens have been howling about for many many years, to no avail? This from the ones who propose pools for the St. Marys River at tremendous expense.

76Bingo!Not a year ago before she kept threatening to call the cops on me for asking her questions as a constituent, she made it clear that “this is northern Ontario, we will always have bad roads and we need to focus on things that actually matter” Now all of a sudden she changes her tune before an election…We won’t forget your previous positions Ms. Caputo, and we wish you the best in your future away from politics!

74Luke shouldn't there already be a plan in place, if not what do you people do at city Hall, waste money on a pool in the river of all places, wasted money for a plaza no one's uses , not once did any of you think about doing your job taking care of our city not adding unnecessary things no one uses, can't wait till election we need serious people who actually care what our city looks like and represents

10Two new ones on the ballot, one in Ward 3 and now Ward 6, which are both a hard no all from the same old boys’ club. Now it’s just their kids up-and-coming. People that have been here for decades should know this. For the newcomers, just take our advice. SSM needs diversity. Let’s not forget the other already wrote a letter posing as someone as his grandfather.

70Now she wants to be a councillors?? Must be election time. Four year of her nonsense has been plenty. Do us a favor and go find a life somewhere!

51I am no tin-foil wearing conspiracist by any means and I found the questions a bit much also. They were very intrusive. Why do they need to know my employer, job title, list of job duties and the weekly hours of work I have? They have my T4, they know where I work. That's all they need to know.

60As a city councillor that displayed some tenacity and forethought - I had high hopes when he became mayor. We wallowed through the already started Downtown Plaza, watched the whole city fall further to the grip of an opioid crisis, had Algoma delete half of its work force and still - our elected officials have the audacity to brew up a floating pool in our river to the tune of $17M.When you cast your vote, remember what our Mayor and Council did to help our city. Nothing.Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

56I think a lot of people will be looking for change this election. Shoemaker has not had the best interests for the sault since election. Giving away the old hospital and allowing the downtown plaza to move forward were big mistakes. He originally voted no to the plaza and should have continued to do so. He'd have a leg to stand in this campaign if he hadn't just went a long with status quo and could speak critically of the plaza.
