Guelph's tax hike finalized at 6.78 per cent
GuelphToday 24Anyone out there get a 6.7% wage increase this year to keep up with the insane tax increases every year? Yeah, I didn't either.

Guelph Liberal candidate takes leave of absence from city council
GuelphToday 9Sorry, don't be putting your job 'on hold' as a backup in case you don't win an election - quit your job. How is this even allowed? We need councilors present to deal with the city issues, not distracted by other things.

GuelphToday 21He does realize that. He just doesn't care and is riding the gravy train as long as he can.

Guelph’s 2026 property tax hike finalized at 7.87 per cent
GuelphToday 19As usual, all these 'outside boards' gets their piece of the pie, as well as uneeded projects like the operations hub, and taxpayers are treated like bank machines. I certainly didn't get an 8% raise this year. That means year over year for as long as I can remember in this city even before this Doug Ford downloading thing, this city keeps taking a bigger percentage of my take home pay.

Company looking to build student housing takes tax decision to land tribunal
GuelphToday 18Giving them a tax break essentially means taxpayers have to pay for infrastructure so they can make their massive profits. No thanks I have enough paying for my own things instead of subsidizing developers.

Mayor urges community to ‘come together,’ ‘take action’ and ‘hold council accountable’
GuelphToday 14How about holding the police accountable for lowering their budget increase instead of just rubber stamping their huge 9.9% increase..?

Guelph mayor looks to pause new bike lane installation
GuelphToday 9Great, just when there's been so many cyclists injured from distracted drivers not paying attention, or driving drunk in this city this year.

Mayor shifts gears with setting next city budget, wants input first
GuelphToday 13He could start by voting down the proposed police budget increase on the police services board, and also canceling the unnecessary Operations center.

City seeks public input as staff draft vacant home tax rules
GuelphToday 9This is mostly a virtue signaling program that's not really going to produce much and will end up costing the city and taxpayers more than what the program brings in.

Downtown Guelph event turns to social media influencers for clout
GuelphToday 12So we have 8% tax increases and the City is using our taxes to pay these influencers for this frivolous event. If this isn't tone deaf I don't know what is.

Council votes to speed up renoviction bylaw for Guelph
GuelphToday 6You got that right. The city's terribly uncooperative as it is, never mind tenants trashing your place, not paying and you can't even kick them out.

Slow down! Lower speed limits now in effect on these busy roads
GuelphToday 8Would be much better to address root causes of accidents such as poor driving, blatant breaking laws by running reds, pedestrians not paying attention, inattentive driving and poor road design then just giving up, assuming everyone's going to just get in accidents and minimizing damage by continually lowering the speed limits and assuming everyone will obey them.

Council tightens rules around tree removal, expands permit requirements
GuelphToday 10I'm all for greenery but this is ridiculous overreach. Arborists are very expensive enough as it is, now adding permits and lpaying for replanting trees on top of that? Gimme a break.

Council puts $1.7M back into 2026 budget; increase hovers at just over 8%
GuelphToday 8So I get a double punch of tax increases. Along with this huge 8% annual increase, MPAC decided to up my value of my house 42% this year due to a very modest 150 sq. ft. addition to my house. This is absolutely out of control. Sorry, people need to start dealing with less services, less ultra expensive pet projects being approved and the police need to keep their increases to inflation as well.

Scottsdale neighbours say concrete bike lane separators are a 'nightmare'
GuelphToday 6I generally like those barriers. It makes people actually pay attention to driving for a change instead of staring at their phones or being too busy talking to their passengers to pay attention.
