POLL: Younger readers happier with Donald Trump's win

Trump has made a career of ripping off just about everyone under the sun and has paid next to $0 in taxes (which ultimately costs all working class American tax payers), yet so many are baffled by his Bull and somehow explain away all his indiscretions. A president is supposed to lead by example. Do you really want kids to aspire to be like him? How any woman (or man) can vote for someone who openly brags about grabbing women’s genitalia and having affairs with numerous women (including at least one porn star) is disgusting! If you’re a female supporter, do you think it’s Okay for someone to grab your private parts just because he has money and feels entitled? If you’re a male supporter, would you be okay if your daughter, sister, or mom were assaulted like that? And he acts like it’s some kind of joke! Isn’t it ironic that he says he wants to get tough on crime yet he’s one of Americas biggest white collar scammers. And kicking out migrants? What is his wife?

Simple solution, If you don’t want to deal with the empties, then don’t sell booze at your store.

In Kevin (& Nicole) we trust! Maybe, ask for Big Al’s old expense records also. The more digging, the more smelly things come to the surface! Oh, and one last point, who has been approving expenses for dog food, cigarettes and beer anyway? Perhaps they should should be scrutinized, because something smells foul with all of this!

Do we really need a Conservation Authority? I understand that one of their duties is to monitor sewage systems on Trout lake, but it seems to me that the major sewage cesspool is being generated by the shirt show at Conservation Authority itself!

Trump’s behaviour and comments along with his affections towards Vladimir Putin should be of concern to any Canadian and our Allies. Better to be aware than be completely blindsided!

So far all Poilievre has offered as a platform is his continuous rants about the carbon tax. As an average Canadian, I get back what I pay for the carbon tax and I certainly agree that bigger polluters should be paying more for their increased carbon emissions, which would otherwise go unchecked. Poilievre only criticizes but offers no solutions. I can’t vote for a leader that has no platform or solutions to offer for the many issues confronting us. Much like the Orange Man to the south, just creating lots of noise but no progressive solutions!

Interesting seeing Keller recently parachute into our riding and on March 14th article state his wife works at ONR. Coincidence that Bill Ferguson (candidate nomination committee) in photo happens to also be a commissioner at ONR? Ferguson was also on Canadore Board of Directors When George Burton was Chair of Invest North Bay…

What’s lost in all of this is the fact that the Omichill park is the wrong location!

Borrowing money and increasing the deficit in order to hand each Ontario resident who filed a tax return in 2023, including millionaires, addicts, and people who have left or are leaving the province, $200 is completely unacceptable use of taxpayer money. Ford preached of “fiscal responsibility” when he defeated the Wynn government, but has been anything but responsible since coming to power. Remember, he’s also the guy who also wanted to hand over the Greenbelt to his developer friends and hand them a 16 billion dollar windfall!

These foreign worker programs have created more problems than solutions. They allow business owners to keep their wages at uncompetitive minimum wages, they allow business owners not to invest in training and technology for Canadian workers, it’s flush with bribes and corruption to allow foreigners to buy their way in rather than follow proper immigration procedures. In the process, it has pushed Canadians who once held low wage jobs out of their positions and also out of their homes and apartments and pushed many into the street. We are seeing the results before our eyes in our communities, yet government is not offering any solutions. It’s a real mess for all of us now and will take years, if not decades to correct if our governments are even willing to acknowledge their role in creating this mess and correcting it. Immigration consultants and sham immigration policies should not be a growth industry. Time to roll back on all this nonsense!

Gollum; unfortunately we can’t ask the 20 people who were paid salaries over the last 2+ years doing next to nothing to pay it back because they would have signed an employment agreement . Not only that, but they will now each be entitled to a large severance package. Who could even dream up such a debacle and waste of taxpayers money? This is beyond shameful, especially when there were already many warning signs about Canadore and the Ontario government getting into bed with the same business man who had already left a trail of business scams and red ink on the floor in several other Ontario communities. This simply doesn’t pass the smell test and is worthy of an investigation by the auditor general at minimum, and I would argue also an investigation by OPP business fraud squad as well as a public inquiry!

How can the removal of the dock at the end of the season not be an additional cost?

Please release any pictures and video. Perhaps someone might recognize the clothing or body type of this creep and tip police!

I foresee a parking nightmare. Don’t forget that this is the main access to sunset park and beach which also is an active boat launch. I have to really question our planning department and their ability to effectively plan our city development. From what I’ve seen over the last number of years, there really isn’t any vision and actual planing for our city. Just zoning approvals and amendments etc. What planning expertise have they provided for the location and construction of the arena? All pretty much driven by consultants and interest groups.

Anyone spending their money on drugs does not require food from the food bank. They are making a choice on what they prioritize. If it’s their right to choose to spend their money on drugs, then it’s my right to cut off any funding and food handouts to them. If we don’t cut off this nonsense, we are just supporting a lifestyle and the current epidemic will continue.

Once again illustrates the issue of slum lord economics rampant in our society. Seeing this is a growing problem in our city, why isn’t our citie’s fire department conducting more fire inspections and enforcement as this is an important part of their mandate, yet not much being done?
