Mayor donates $10,000 to indoor turf facility
27Taxpayers are going to be asked to contribute $650,000 a year to a capital reserve fund to pay for the replacement of the artificial turf when it wears out as well as the HVAC and other systems. Who’s being the generous one here? City council refused to look at the idea of a private/public partnership. Instead, it’s pretty well all on taxpayers. Plenty of virtue signalling, though.

26Aside from funding the build, taxpayers will be "donating" money every year to subsidize this facility. Should have let the private sector build it. Soccerplex, hockey rinks, golf courses, etc., all should be self supporting.

Ontario loosens booze rules in provincial parks
27Such a bad idea. There is already far too many problems with alcoholism and addictions that we don't need to create more problems with public drinking. Especially here right now.

Suspect wanted a Pepsi — How a can of pop helped police end a standoff
4Thumbs up for her and thumbs down for the police and swat team, whose lack of de-escalation training permitted this standoff to continue for more than 5 hours.

City sells site beside jail for multi-residential project
23At least these public lands are not being sold to a company run by a convicted criminal responsible for I'm sure many deaths here and elsewhere. At least I hope this numbered company is not associated with them in any shape or form.

9The private sector had over a decade to build it and did nothing. Why do people ignore that fact when making that silly argument

Hwy 17 reopened after deadly collision claimed three lives
25Such a high body count across northern Ontario with daily highway closures, but Doug's priorities are to build a tunnel under the 401 and a high speed rail line to Montreal. This is madness.

Evidence concludes in trial of former city police service lawyer
24The reporting in this case leaves one utterly confused. Is the Crown’s case so muddled that it makes no sense? Lots of reporting about timelines of who knew or was supposed to know what when. But nothing spoke to the idea of how that knowledge constituted obstruction which would lead to a breach of trust. When, exactly, did the obstruction take place? I haven’t read or heard that.

Auditorium seeks feedback as it prepares to update its image
23I will not go to the auditorium until it gets rid of Ticketmaster and Live Nation - and I am betting that there are artists that would stop off in the city if they had a contract that paid what they earned instead of allowing individuals with their bots buying up tickets to resell. We are a small market and can afford to go back to paper tickets picked up at the Aud tickaet office. Cant even go to a hockey game without paying a double charge - they even force the sports teams to allow Bots and resell and it is more expensive to buy the same seat at the boxoffice. GREEDY GREEDY and the fans pay for it

More women in Parliament a 'great feeling,' says Hajdu
17Parliament is a complete mess and most of it needs to go. Most of those politicians don't care about the average Canadian and they're more interested in photo ops and self patting on the back.

Permit delays push opening of new Crush Coffee Co. café to July
21Good luck. I like the hiring of women in transitional housing. Supplemented by the Goverment probably, but that's OK if it helps someone move on in life. I do wonder who your target market is, a high end coffee bar on Simpson Street?

Vickers manor faces dozens of fire code warnings
4Don't know why this is news worthy ? It would be rare that after a fire inspection was done there would be no infractions. They don't usually post the results of inspections in the news especially when they are so minor. They should just assure that the violations are corrected and not put fear in the elderly residents.
