Federal pause on gasoline, diesel tax takes effect today, after Iran fuel price spike

A miniscule discount is a slap in the face. Add on grocery prices and we are in a complete disaster.

Algoma Public Health calls for warning labels on alcohol drinks

I cannot fathom how difficult it must be for people struggling with their sobriety these days. There is nowhere for people to shop for their necessities of life now that doesn’t smack them in the face with alcohol. Our children are doomed when it comes to easy access to drugs, alcohol, pornography, and access to disturbing information and material about death and gore. Mental health and addiction rates are high, supports are low particularly here in the north.

Most people in the Soo have ZERO IDEA of what Lisa has done and continues to do, day in and day out, to make our community better, particularly for those individuals who often fall through the cracks. She's given more of herself in the past 8 years than most, by far.

Algoma Public Health calls for warning labels on alcohol drinks

Get rid of public health, roll it back into the Ministry if Health. Run public health programs through the hospital network. We dont need multiple organizations trying to do the same thing. Reinvest the cost savings into front line health. Just like we dont need multiple school boards per district...

Drivers will see two-way sections on Queen Street during construction

with the caliber of drivers in this city, this won't possibly go poorly. Anyone remember the removed traffic lights experiment? Nobody in this city knows how to adapt, everyone just operates reflexively. Those 2 way sections of queen are gonna be the site of several head on collisions. I need the date of the closures because I'm showing up with a lawn chair and a case of beer.

Peoples Road construction starting in early May

An extra 15 minutes is not that big of a deal, plan ahead. Also Elliot Rd and Moss road will be accessible this time, so probably less than 15 minutes. In a city this size that can be traversed in about 15-20 minutes, we are still far ahead of travel times down south.People complain that the roads are terrible, and there are many concerns about the infrastructure under the roads, so this is a needed repair. If they didn't do the work, folks would complain.

Why is the city still laying sand at playgrounds when dirty needles and glass are often found buried in the sand?

Algoma Steel asks Ontario court to void contract with U.S. Steel

No negotiations with america since October. Great work Carney. Keep those elbows up Carney crowd, we will get you some duck wing floaters for when the whole country collapses and we're all poor. We easily could have avoided all of this by actually having a prime minister capable of NEGOTIATING.

So again alienating a large portion of people. The alternate routes add 15 min drive time to go around not to mention added time during peak travel times.

Understood doesn't mean 'in writing'. It sucks, but if you entered a contract and the market conditions change and makes your situation worse, that doesn't mean you can just void it.

This is what happens when we elect someone who we didn't even know because he didn't live here and had no ties to the community.
